Decent story, but some flaws

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2021

This book holds a very decent LitRPG story, with a good cast of characters and some easy conflict. However, there are some errors to be addressed:
~ "Gladiuses" should be "gladii".
~ There are various instances where two independent clauses were put in one sentence—this error is called a run-on sentence.

All in all, any gamer/reader would enjoy this book, and possibly give them a bit of nostalgia from some of the references.

The 4/5 rating is for the great story that overshadows the typographical and sentence structure errors of the story.

An okay story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 26, 2019

I enjoyed reading this story and wanted to give it four out of five stars but after I thought about it for a while I realized that there are quite a few short comings to the book. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great scenes in the book - like when the two “gods” are talking to each other in the laboratory. That’s probably one of the best scenes because the author showed good interaction and hinted at information rather than telling us. The draw backs of the book are that the author does tend to summarize too much or advance the story weeks at a time which causes a lot of telling. Also the book is rather short in length. On the plus side I enjoyed all of the LITRPG elements, and while the author kept the romance simple in the story I appreciated the fact that the author did not create a harem or go into too many sexual details. Overall just a fun book to read but not too deep in meaning or symbolism. A relax and enjoy the show kind of book.

Simplistic, but good

Pretty simple and straightforward, but a solidly moving narrative and consistent direction keep it interesting. Not a lot of foreshadowing, but enough that events feel natural.

MC is *not* OP. They do have a few lucky finds, but again it is all explained and supported by the narrative.

Any purported resemblance to another popular series is in the eye of the beholder. Poisoning the food of your enemy is an *old* trope, enchanting is likewise old school, and archery is nothing new.

I will continue to read this series. Worth the time.

I felt as though this was a good start to a.. story. Although the MC is a bit weird to me, but he follows all the Isekai tropes.

New beginnings

This was a fun book. This is the usual truck-san takes out a dude and he's then transported to a video game world, and it's all uphill from there. This has to be one of the more "realistic" isakai books. For one, it's permadeath, two, mob's are not regular mob's. To sum up what this book is like, imagine DarkSouls and Final Fantasy had a kid together. This would be that world. The character development was spot on. The character and their insecurities were very believable, and the main character is one of the few that I absolutely LOVE. He's grounded, he's not the type of guy that shows up and thinks that he can just run stuff because he can level up. The first battle that he cuts his teeth on almost kicks said teeth down his throat and had to learn to adjust quite quickly. The book ends on a pretty solid note and it sets up for what appears to be quite the LONG campaign to come. I can easily see this book becoming quite the series. Something along the length of the wheel of time length if the pacing stays the same.

So far every book I have read from Ivan Karl has been good. World building is always top notch and I enjoy the depth he goes into the characters leveling

The book series is fun with enough stats to satisfy the fact it isn’t just a fantasy novel. Very progression based with some fun world building. The story going on in the background is fun too and will obviously be the endgame.

An Ideal LitRPG

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2018

This series has a lot of room for growth, character development, and world creation. In some ways, the author rushes (Morgan's love interest) and in other he almost dragging his feet (world history and knowledge) but neither are off putting enough to take away from the book. Morgan is not of the world the story takes place in and it makes sense that he wouldn't understand what is easily taken as basic knowledge. Author addresses this a couple of times and it is done well. Easily, this series (with only ONE book) is in the Top Three of best LitRPGs. The leveling and gaming mechanics are well thought out. Morgan gets upset often (nearly annoyingly so) about simple things that, hopefully, future books will fade out. The series has much promise due to the size of the world, number of other guilds, and finally the Tower itself. Easily a dozen book potential series and that is highly appealing.

Well written LitRPG and world building novel. God characters, humor, well written action scenes and dialogue. Will our protagonist finally find someone who will understand his references and humor in book 2? I hope so, poor guy
