I really like the LitRPG concepts in this series

Already bought the next 2 in the series. So it is enjoyable. It doesn’t quite scratch every itch of the genre but I am still sticking around to see where this goes.

Really 25?

The story could be amazing, but his introspection of himself his surroundings make him like a 15 year-old child not 25 year old man. In my opinion, it felt like he wasn’t meant to be 25 years old, but a 15 year-old kid.

It starts off strong

As the title says it starts off strong only for the naive mc to get an inflated ego. He bounces back in forth with his intelligence and naivety only to spiral down. I was on board til book 3 when all the progress the mc seems to make only to revert back to ignorant naive child. Progression on lvling and story comes to a halt and mc makes a 180 from a sensible, caring and independent thinker to a bootlicker. Goes against the advice from his oldest friends and gf only to fuck around and find out. Going from a staunchly independent adventurer to idk what by the end. The mc is all other the place mentally and that's even before the war starts. I have hopes for the next books but not holding my breath I have a feeling it's going to be more of the same.

Decent story... but

The story is not bad. The male narrator is pretty good. The female voice acting on the other hand is...off. Every female character speaks with a slow halting cadence and cartoonish voice that reminds me of when someone is intentionally trying to do a mocking "upper class twit" impression. It's very distracting.

Now that was a solid start

I thoroughly enjoyed books 1 through 3. I value my credits and like to spend them on omnibuses because 56 hours is a ton of content. It had some flaws, but the voice acting was superb and the story gripped me a few hours in. Will keep going for sure.
