Manufacturing Magic by Troy Osgood, Jaime Castle

3.0

This is the very definition of vanilla LitRPG. The stakes were nearly nonexistent, the characters were forgettable, and the world-building is so familiar it blends into the genre without leaving a ripple.

I did like the idea of a support pleb groking the code in a holistic way, but I'd like it better if we were told how that could be possible. Was it just because of long exposure, a la The Matrix... "I don't even see the code anymore, all I see is blonde, redhead, brunette..." or is it something the A.I. did to Jeff via the V.R. module?

The writing was okay, with only a few grammar issues and an easy-to-digest style. Still, I've no desire to continue the series.
