Eden's Gate book 1

Just pick up this book by Edward Brody and I enjoyed it greatly. The author did a awesome job with the characters and world he created. and the narration by Povi Proczko was great made the world come alive 12 /10 stars

A good book but lot of statistics ad even worse progress

A great book but too many stats and and progress reports spoil it and the flow. Just to boost I suspect the word count

The premise is of a stretch he’ll the US states I don’t think could agree on a total shut down let alone the world. And if you shut things down a lot of people would die in the hospitals etc. thief back up system would unlikely last for days as well as social breakdown

Please never end the series

You would think that writing this kind of story on paper would come across cringy and awkward. But it does anything but that! amazing story with unlimited potential. Very funny and I have already purchased the next in the series.

Mediocre LitRPG

Right, where do I start? Perhaps by noting that litRPG is a relatively new genre – only a couple of years old - and when this book first came out it would have been in the first wave of those books that were written.

It was a time when readers were hungry for *any* litRPG, the best of that small bunch getting 5 stars by virtue of them being, well, the best of a small bunch, regardless of if they were actually good books. Anything half-decent is better than nothing, right?

Now though, the community of books is larger. And while I acknowledge the role this book played in being 'one of the first,' I unfortunately have to rank it against both the newer releases in the genre and also sci-fi / fantasy in general. It comes up short.

Did I finish it? Yes. It's a decent adventure, it has a cool world, ok progression system and standard-but-passable litRPG story. However it's also poorly edited, poorly narrated (the narrator speaks in a monotone for half the book, but does slowly get better), the plot is half baked, there are some ridiculous leaps of faith, the side character is inconsistent and the hero is, quite frankly, a jerk.

All things that I might have overlooked four years ago when there was nothing else like it to read, but not things I'm willing to overlook now. Its only by virtue of it being relatively short that I pushed through instead of asking for a refund. 3.5 stars
