Good writing and character development

Revisado: 12-11-24

Finished the first book and immediately got and started this one. Enjoyed the character development and solid plot. Again MS Jackson does an excellent job narrating.

Nice series to start

Revisado: 12-11-24

I don't go for some of the cyberpunk out there and not sure why I decided to give this a go. After going through this one I immediately got the next 3 books. Take out the LitRPG aspect of the story and it is a nice science fantasy story and doesn't revolve around "game mechanics". Ms Jackson does a great job voicing the various characters and it is great having a versatile voice actor to listen to.

Harry Potter meets LitRPG

Revisado: 11-17-24

Not bad but not great. A lot of commonalities with HP. I had a difficult time believing a "street rat" could do some of the bone headed things the MC and his best bud did/said. On a positive note, no profanity although some may say "flick" is a substitute for a euphemism for a common term used by many.

Looking foward to 3 and 4

Cute series so far. Both 3 and 4 are available on Kindle, but I am looking forward to the audio books.

Great brewskis!

Revisado: 04-10-24

Christian Gilliland does an excellent job and probably adds to my perception of the story. Continue to follow Peter in his quest to bring great beer to the dwarves. Almost makes me want to try his latest creation if it didn't sound like 3.2 beer was awesome in comparison. Still a fun story picking up where the first book left off.

The MC wasn't OP enough

Revisado: 04-02-24

The story idea is typical of LitRPG stories with "a system imposed upon Earth and the MC winds up being overpowered". As the story progress it appears the author didn't think his MC was OP enough. I liked how in the first book the MC still had to figure things out to get around a few of the challenges put before him. It appears that the next book this won't be happening.

Neil Hellegers does a magnificent job. However, some of the wording used by the author makes me wonder how he passed high school English. For example, the author uses "on accident" and "on instinct" (which is used by 6 year olds) instead of "accidentally" and "instinctively"/"instinctually". But, the most annoying example is the (over)use of the adverb "also" in place of using transitional words/phrases or a conjunction. But then again this is a common problem with many newer authors, especially in the genre. Another issue can't be blamed as much on writing skills as U.S. politicians and news casters reinforce this poor English skill with the use of more, i.e. saying "more proud", "more clear" or using more with any word which should have the suffix "-er" affixed as in "prouder", "clear", etc. Of course, these should also be caught by the editor, Just ask Wil Wheaton as he is repeatedly commenting about his editor pointing out the overuse of a certain word in his book "Still Just a Geek".

Good story idea, poor writing

Revisado: 04-02-24

The story idea is somewhat unique compared to other LitRPG stories as the majority of them seem to be "a system imposed upon Earth and the MC winds up being overpowerd". Cudos for not following that trope.

Even with Luke Daniels doing a magnificent job the wording used by the author makes me wonder if she passed high school English. The most annoying example is the (over)use of the adverb "also" in place of using transitional words/phrases or a conjunction. But then again this is a common problem with many newer authors, especially in the genre. At least she didn't have the MC introduce himself mid-conversation with "Also my name is..." like another author did.
