Action oriented sorta bad guy

Bad guy who is really a good guy inside makes a decent action story with a fun plot and interesting characters abound

Gritty criminal-is-a-good-guy story.

This is kind of like an updated 80s smuggler with a big heart epic tale.
Little guys against a megacorp run by a megalomaniac with a god complex.
It's gritty and spicy and intense.
If you like intense LitRPG with a HaremLit taste, you are going to want to get this book.
I give this book 7 out of 5 stars.

These are the gritty grimy streets!

I'm a big fan of the gritty grimy streets. Whether it's urban fantasy, cyberpunk, steampunk, or any other genre. This fit the bill. Very well written. The plotline and progression have a nice pace, not too fast so that the mc should always seem like their out of breath but fast enough to keep your interest high. This is a good pick for several hours of street entertainment.

Decent Story. Also Gross.

What a ride this story was. Some of it was pretty predictable, but boy did the rest of it push boundaries. I'm not usually a super nihilistic cypher punk fan, and this definitely fits that category, so maybe my opinion is biased by that. I did not hate it, but I'm not sure I will listen to the rest of the series.
