The Bobs deserve more respect

Revisado: 04-15-25

Is it just me, or do all the women in Bob’s life seem to use him and treat him like he’s beneath them? It comes off as pretty offensive, especially considering he’s basically a god. I actually marked the book down because I believe someone as long-lived and powerful as the Bobs deserves a lot more respect—not this weird, passive-aggressive dynamic.

That said, it’s still a good book overall.

The young adults were a tad annoying

Revisado: 03-03-25

Great start of a book but the 2 young adults in the book that get into a magic contract with N-slice are a tad annoying. Not too annoying but like a caveman not understanding a lightbulb sort of annoying. I hope the next book is just a little better but if it isn’t I can live with that.

Hard to believe Jane is an adult and a gamer

Revisado: 02-16-25

It’s hard to believe Jane is both an adult and a gamer. As a game tester with a background in a tech-savvy field, you’d expect her to understand basic gaming concepts like leveling systems. Yet, she comes across as completely clueless. Some confusion is reasonable in a new world, but her extreme naivety makes her seem more like a child than an adult with agency.

What’s even more baffling is her struggle to grasp levels and stats, despite her experience as a game tester and her Computer Science degree and career at a software company in Austin, TX. It’s as if she’s never encountered the concept before. Her cluelessness extends to money, too. When a knight pays for her stay at an inn with a few silver coins, she pulls out a large gold coin and naively offers to pay. It’s common sense—even in our world—that gold is more valuable than silver and that flaunting wealth can be dangerous. Yet, Jane seems oblivious to these basic social cues.

She’s also far too trusting, going along with anyone to do anything without a second thought. Although her luck keeps her out of serious trouble, the story would have been stronger with a more realistic, adult approach to her character. It’s worth a listen, but I’m not sure I’ll continue with book two.

Heather is annoying

Revisado: 11-03-24

Heather is annoying and a complete tool with her mean girl friends. This alone ruins this book. I would have scored this a 5 on every category if Heather wasn’t a horrible person with horrible friends. Perry is willing to save her life but her mean friends and herself won’t allow her to publicly take him up on his offer. But she will secretly take him up on it. That’s the sort of person she is. I’ll probably ask for a refund.

Surprised

Revisado: 05-14-24

Pretty good book that doesn’t get all crunchy with fighting like lots of LitRPG books. It actually kept my attention the entire time.

It’s sort of annoying

Revisado: 02-05-24

Spoiler alert!! The MC loses all his powers and fights for them back the entire book. His team all got a great start in the new world but he was screwed over by the gods. This is annoying because the whole first book was him getting awesome powers and now it started over. If the next book is him losing his powers he got in this book I will rate that book 1 star.

A mediocre book at best

Revisado: 01-16-24

If you want to do a drinking game when then words impossible and false hero are spoken this is the book! The narrator kinda sucks because it’s hard to distinguish what character he is in. At best this would be a okay book if the narrator was better. I have no clue how this has so many good reviews. Was it farmed out in India or something.

Good book

Revisado: 01-06-24

I really enjoyed this. Good world building and likable characters that are fleshed out enough to care about. I’m looking forward to the next one!

Not what I was expecting

Revisado: 08-29-23

I had super low expectations for this book. It was a “that looks semi interesting” type book so I spent the credit expecting nothing good or bad. After listening to it I can firmly say that this book is amazing. Even the narrator is perfect for it. I already bought the second book and am looking forward to starting it!

Not LITRPG…..but amazing

Revisado: 08-26-23

I could find nothing wrong with this book. If I had to nitpick I wish it was more LITRPG’ish….but it’s not that at all. It’s a great book and the author world builds in the best way possible. He doesn’t dumb a bunch of exposition on you. Instead he feeds you how the world turned to shit little by little. I recommend this book.
