Banal character development

All I can say at this point is that luckily the book is free with Amazon unlimited so I don't have to live with the regret of spending money on the series.

The overall story is decent but character development feels very stiff at this point.

Zac's motivations continue to be all over the place while managing to be extremely bland at the same time. He cycles between timid and bold and then protective and uncaring with no purpose.

The introduction of Thea as a romantic show more interest at the end of the last tile was bad enough but she continues to be the most boring thing in the book. Their relationship feels like randomly included wish fulfillment write-in on the authors part. Either that or they have a SO that wanted to be written into the story. Especially after the lengths the author went to in order to kill off Alea and make her just another tool in Zac's toolbox. Just kill her off and be done with it so we can all move on to reading something more interesting.

Hopefully the author gets it in gear at some point but it definitely wasn't this book. show less

I read this online; one of the most interesting LitRPG novels - very different system at play, with an intriguing family mystery that is a subplot.

This was my first introduction to LitRPG and will be my last. This book is just so badly written. It also has numerous grammatical and spelling errors. It was so awful that I couldn't finish it.

I read this online and enjoyed it. I would recommend to SF fans and also readers of LitRPG.
