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.

This was awesome!

I loved this story, and how Caldor got exposed to the different things in the world. This was one of my favorite stories so far this year.

Great except for one thing

Most way through book 2 at this point and unless 3 has a big shift in quality ill ride the series out. My biggest "complaint" without spoilers would have to be that the MC gets pulled around by the nose a lot for someone who wants to forge their own path and live their own adventures.

Other than that Characters are diverse, the system is interesting and the fights arent terribly plot armored for a series. Overall well worth the credit once you get this deep down the litrpg list.

Update upon finishing book 2, Ill be taking a long pause or stopping all together. I still enjoyed the world, the system. the side characters and progression, but MC only gets worse as it goes on.

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.

Poor boy turns OP adventurer and gets used as a war horse.

Seriously capable story ark stunted by political bs and failed to finish. Really sad how progression happens but fight after fight is what grinding is all about.

Amazing

So happy my favorite series is here under one credit! The narration and the story is so good!

great story

You have to love all the references, especially the Adam's family reference. I can't wait to see all the others.

Female narrator is terrible

Loved the story. Male narrator is great but female narrator is has no depth. She tries but the it’s all the same annoying “trying to be seductive voice”

Star wars as a litrpg

So predictable and formulaic, a few interesting dungeon moments. Worked good as sleep aid. Boring OP protagonist. Combat underwhelming with elementary descriptions.
