amazingly written

Continue Online: Character Creation begins

This is an interesting book for me, as a funeral director and foster father I see how loss is a sould crushing event. It breaks even the strongest individuals. Sometimes, there is no recovery. Sometimes, healing isn't possible, and all we can do is muddle through the remainder of our lives as best we can. I say this, because the Main Character, Grant Legate, seems to be one of those people. Morse really nails this shattered man's spirit. Believe me, I have seen people like Grant more than I ever I've ever cared to, but I have no choice.

That being said, the book is an interesting study in character. Can someone who loses everything important to them ever heal? Will they want to? Can the game help? Much like the first book, book two has a slow start, but the pace builds and rockets through to the end like a book on fire. Still, I can see how some people might see the MC as being wimpy or weak, or a cry baby. Depression is like a tidal wave that continually assaults the same beach over and over. No matter what you have, no matter what you do, it will crush and shatter everything in its path when it comes. I, for one, appreciate a suicidal protagonist who doesn't have a Doc Holliday mindset.

If you liked the first book then you will love the second. It pretty much plays out in a similar fashion, with the slow burn and build up into a great crescendo. If you didn't like Grant in the first book, you will absolutely hate him here. So don't expect a lot of growth from the cowardly lion. He finally gets to play the game, but not in a way he expects, and his reaction is pure Grant. If you loved him, you will now cherish him.

Pavi Proczko does an amazing job on the narration. Just as in the first book he really makes you feel everything that Grant does, you know his emotional state, and it hurst because there is nothing that you can do to help. He also nails the characters, the imp's summoner is fun, and he really does his best to make each PC in the book have their own voice and personality. He does a great job setting the tone, and the mood of each chapter.

I also LOVE the cover of this book. It looks creepy as all get out, and really catches your eye. You cannot unsee it, and the colors and tones really work with setting the story up. I don't know if I could pass upa book with this as its cover.

In spite of the perceived downer some people think Grant is, I think this is an incredible book, and it will stand out in your mind long after you read it. You will have hope that Grant's spirit will heal and that he will become a whole man once again. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

If this review helped, please press the YES below. Thank you immensely!!!

Different than the normal litres books.

This book is a great second book, with the characters becoming more life like. The narrator is awesome, and the story is fully rounded. Makes you wish we had that tech now. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

A fantastic follow up

I really love the deep psychological twist in this series. Everything is centered around Mental Health, gaming and overcoming struggle. I'm almost scared to read the next book because it's sending left me scared of which direction to book may turn. the voice performance was perfect.

as always Exquisite book

it's like a fuse Slow Burn it takes a while but in the end the story off this series is one that is sure to enthrall people if you like video games and fantasy it forces you to think how about your existence in reality well also allowing some humor so things don't get too dark it shows the depths of despair and the triumphs of a human soul after the loss of a loved one and the rediscovery of possibility cannot wait until the next book is out on audio download.

Good second book

The book was different from the first book, but was still enjoyable. I'm interested to see where the third book goes.

Good

Good story and play out but the asides about bulging pants scenes are annoying. Leave out the four seconds of ugly

Great Book

So far this author does what so many others fail to do, the story keeps getting better with every book. Good job and thank you for putting your imagination into words for us to enjoy.

One of the better LitRPG books I have listened to!

This story is one of the better LitRPG books I have read / listened to. Like all in this genre there are some issues, but they are pretty minor. I am happy that in this series the second book actually has its own story arc while still continuing the overall series arc. Pavi Proczko does an excellent job narrating and bringing characters to life! I am looking forward to book 3!

Not the best

The main character is suffering from depression, and his girlfriend death. The main character is hard to like and will make you pull your hear out from his snowflake actions. The world is interesting and it has some twists. Story 3 stars do to main character being so freaking gay! Overall 4 stars for outstanding voice and world design.
