Fun start to a slice of life litrpg settlement builder. If you're looking for something chill with low/no stakes, this isn't a bad pallet cleanser.


Well written characters and dialogue, this is a story where the OP, high level players aren't the focus. There's no major world ending conflict. The only things our characters need to worry about are local monsters. This story has building, crafting, and town management. 

I don't know if I'll remember this book in 10 years, but I don't think it was written to be anything more than some nice little escapism. 

If you liked the first 20%-30% of Jake's Magical Market by JR Matthews, you'll probably like this book.
