Rarely do we see a litrpg series where the characters have been transported to a new world and still keep thinking about their own world and their family and loved ones. In fact, it makes the characters feel more real and alive. I'm not sure why more authors don't do it.

I really liked the characters in this book. Their motivations make sense.

I feel like this book was written by two different people. There was the cool, analytical writer who writes about game mechanics and detailed battles and then there's the teen aged hormonal boy writing about sex with girls. It was disarming and took away from the book feeling that there were two voices. Not sure if I will read more in this series.

Second read through. I can say that this series just gets better.

Every LitRPG book I've ever read is just a horrible mess, filled with cliche upon cliche and amateur writing, and this is no different.

Great book

I love the character development in this book. Also the narrative and world building. All in all a great book to read.

Starting with the good:
The narration was great. The GameLit parts were sparse, but I liked what was there. The adventure elements of the story were a lot of fun.

However, on the negative side, the romance was particularly, painfully adolescent. But the thing that was truly off-putting was that the morality was sometimes... disturbing. If there's another brutal rapist character in the next book, I won't be reading it.
