a good story with bad pacing, packed with filler.

Revisado: 02-12-25

it's a 5 star book filled with 2 star filler. its 12 hours of food porn mixed with constantly petting fluffy animal friends 769 times as if it didn't stop being interesting the first 10 times. This boring mass of filter suffocates the 6-7 hours of actual compelling and interesting story. I love slice of life stuff but there's only so many times you can listen to the MC going Mmmmmmmmmm food, and petting their pets. As a result, the pacing is awful. The ending was interesting and eventful, but I'm not willing to suffer through another 10-15 hours of poorly paced bloat to get to the meat of a good story. This book would likely be excellent if 50% of the useless fat was trimmed. I will be letting this series go for now.
Naration is excellent at least...

nothing happened.

I enjoyed the first book but this one already felt like filler which is very concerning as its only the second book. I really felt that few of the interesting parts of the story progressed and a lot of time was spent on character interactions that had no real value. this was compounded by the fact that the book is quite short. I really didn't enjoy where they took this book. I'm not going to share details but the direct conflict in this book was disappointing and it came far too soon. this conflict should have been pushed to book 4+ after the existing basics had a chance to get explored. he's supposed to be a farmer and his farm didn't progress at all... just too much empty air and not enough meat...

not bad but more of the same.

overall fairly entertaining. pacing for the last half was a bit slow. if you enjoyed the first 3 books, you'll probably enjoy this one too. that being said, I found it to be the weakest so far. the first half was good but the last half was kind of tedious.

more of a comedy than anything else.

Revisado: 11-27-24

good production value. rpg elements are light and unintrrusive. They are also mostly irrelevant and uninspired. it's a mediocre fantasy tale wrapped around simplistic lit RPG elements and an overpowered borrowed power trope. The comedy is good though. depends what you are looking for.

good first half. boring bland action second half. compelling ending.

Revisado: 08-30-24

60% of the book was good but there was a ton of action filler and a lot of pacing issues. hours of action always bores me. action doesn't work in books like it does in movies. action sequences need to be short and memorable. This book is full of long meandering action sequences that don't meaningfully push the plot. Even if they did they would still need trimming. it's not as bad as the tournament book but it's close.

mostly boring filler.

Revisado: 05-31-24

I nearly stopped reading after the previous book was mostly mindless filler. This book had even less relevance as it was separated from the main world/story. The MC has morphed completely into a self absorbed A**hole edge lord. The whole "might makes right" murder hobo mentality gets old fast. the first book or two sat pretty well with me but I just don't like the OP edge lord route the author took. I would have to be really bored to continue the series down the road.

good start! slow, lifeless middle and end.

Revisado: 05-20-24

the first hour or so definitely hooked me and got me engaged. Sadly, as soon as the plot was established, the book devolved into mindless boring action scenes and lifeless characters. I struggled through 5 hours of boring grind just because I couldn't return the book. sadly at about 2 hours in, I fell asleep and the rest of the book played. I would have had to jump through hoops to return it. with such a good start I kept hoping the book would find its feet. sadly it never did. not a horrible book, but certainly boring and uninspired.

overall good, narrator had an annoying Kirk-like cadence.

Revisado: 05-07-24

in general I'm happy with my purchase. The story was good but nothing special. The world kind of falls at the feet of the MC and everything is quite literally handed to him. Then for the last 3 hours of the book he acts completely out of character. I was largely entertained the entire time despite some shallow 2 dimensional character writing. Good, but far from great. I will most likely buy the next book.

constant system voice interruptions nearly destroy otherwise entertaining story.

Revisado: 01-10-24

if you can learn to tune out the bad naration choices that many reviews have complained about, it's an enjoyable listen. I struggled for a long time with it and almost returned the book twice. whoever's idea it was to have spells, abilities, and key words always pronounced in the loud "system" voice, needs to be fired, from a cannon.

incomplete

Revisado: 01-04-24

competently written but clearly not a complete story arc. I'm really getting sick of series that split 1 book into 2 for the purpose of cash grabbing.
