In 2056, the world's most powerful AI System, ARKUS, comes online. Created to extend human lifespans, it quickly makes world-changing discoveries in health science. It also develops an advanced VR headset...to let users experience time faster in virtual worlds.... Two years later, ARKUS releases World-Tree Online. The game's time-dilation makes...one hour of playtime feel like one month, allowing humans to virtually extend their lifespans. After an old gamer named Vincent joins the game an update begins that stretches the time-dilation to one year for every five seconds.

And he chugged...

Good book all round. A few large time skips in there and only an average level of world building and character development that I look for but still good ideas in there for sure.
When I heard that girls voice after one of those time jumps I almost stopped listening to the book. It was quite heartbreaking. Glad I continued and finished the book though.
But damn hearing characters chugging mana bottles gets old fast. It must have been mentioned 100 times throughout the book at minimum.

Rushed and unfinished.

The story was okay with several interesting events though the two ‘plot lines’ felt very disconnected as I just wanted to get back to the main story. There are far too many minor inconsistencies or repetitions of phrases especially in the final chapters. Too many times did things just ‘go well’. It would be better if there was less outright explaining of the world and more discovery. And probably my biggest gripe would be the constant attempts to do the whole shock and awe thing. It works and is a part of the series though seeing it so often and somewhat forced becomes jarring. I was hoping this would improve over the last book but it got worse.
The narrator on the other hand did a great job with bringing out the characters.

Erik knew one thing after dropping in, when he first saw the numbers before his eyes, the rumors about the "cursed" were true. He was in another world. Survival wasn’t assured. Cultivate, get skills, grow abilities, or die. His old life, as a combat medic, had been hard, but he had learned some valuable lessons. And he wasn’t alone. His best friend, a marine recon sniper, like always, was right by his side. Could they figure out this fantasy world? What does it mean to ascend? How will they master the magic of this strange place?

Nicely done

I found the narration was great paired with the characters and their ‘different’ humour. Got a few good laughs out of me. That being said the pacing in the book does change somewhat throughout the book for a well rounded journey. Definitely picking up the next in series.

Arthur Leywin knew well the cold terror of war. Yet, in his past life as King Grey, he had never lost a friend, mentor, or loved one; he had none to lose. Now, though, Arthur must accept that even those closest to him must take up arms to defend their homes as the enemy force seeks new methods to strike at the heart of Dicathen. In his quest to stop the approaching army, Arthur must travel to the dwarven kingdom of Darv, gain mastery of the four elements, battle some of the Vritra’s mightiest champions, and overcome a grievous betrayal.

My only real gripe with this book is the somewhat generic phrases and terms being repeated. Other than that the main story progresses much slower then previous books.
