Interesting premise, a good start.

Revisado: 03-06-24

The story has an interesting premise and a unique take on the usual system genre, there’s a few places I felt could use more detail, such as further explanation of how magic works past it just being “like code” but so far an intriguing magic system as well. It’s a little bit short for the price at the time of writing this, but serves as a good setup for future books. I’ll be interested to see where this goes.

Beautiful story

Revisado: 10-30-23

There’s a special place in my heart for any story that can make me cry, because that to me is proof that not only did it manage to make me care about the characters, but it also managed to portray the emotions of those characters so well that I could feel their pain and empathize. That’s not an easy task for any author, anyone can make a likable character and then hurt or kill them, not anyone can make you feel the pain of the friends of that character and even bring a bittersweet tear to your eye as they sing their eulogy.

Great and satisfying concept

Revisado: 10-23-23

I came from a reddit post describing the story, it sounded like my kind of thing and i’m glad to say it was, definitely worth a read and i’ll be checking in to see when the next books get audio versions.

If I had to criticize one small thing, I would say I found it kind of confusing how Nathan never really questions the culture of hoarding insights, it seems to me like the only real reason for adventurers not to share knowledge like that is greed and wanting to control the power, it’s not been hinted that the skills get weaker if you share them with too many people, the only other risk would be enemies like giant’s rest getting ahold of them much like the concern with guns. If he’s willing to question the dueling culture then why not at least acknowledge that his world shares knowledge like “insights” freely and have a small discussion as to why this world doesn’t rather than just instantly accepting it as how things work here?
As I said it’s a very small gripe that just tickled the back of my mind a little each time trading or selling insights was brought up, overall it was a great listen and i’m glad I came to check it out!

The end convinced me to stay

Revisado: 09-22-23

Honestly, the general lack of comedy in the book had me considering moving on to try another series despite it being great otherwise, but the presence of hilarious bloopers at the end convinced me to stay and continue to the next book!
