Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

A Great Start to Jason's Story

Publisher's Summary
The race to claim the Worldbranch Throne has begun.
Now the site of EBO’s first completed Red Cathedral, the Onyx Delta has become the center of the virtual world, and the entire player base is descending on Ned’s city to try their hand at the fearsome new raid and reap the game-changing rewards within.
At the same time, a powerful, menacing guild is running roughshod over the western continents, razing every city in their wake and winning Frank’s obnoxiously loud approval from afar. But Ned knows that it’s only a matter of time before their forces sail east to the delta and attempt to burn down everything he’s built.
There will be blood...again, but more this time.
There will also be substantially more cats.
More from the same

Good book but I was hoping to have more character development and story development, with a bit less drawn out fight scens through the middle. Hopefully we get this in the next book

great series can't wait for the next one. The interplay between Ned , House and Frank is so good. Extremely slow burn on Ned and Frank's Bromance is great. Highly recommend

I cannot get invested
I don't know what it is about this series, but I find it so hard to get invested in the characters, the overarching plot, and most especially the way too many action scenes (that are all far too long).
The vast majority of the time when they're in combat, I can't even remember why they're currently fighting or who the enemy is. I think it's the impersonal nature of the "VR" game setting that makes it hard to care and invest myself. If they're off in some "rift" or dungeon... so what? Aside from their own loot games or unlocking further quests, it's like... just a big pyramid of meaninglessness. Especially with a in-game death mechanic that doesn't seem to matter really. The only real potential consequence is if the main character loses his annoying axe Frank in a way that can't be scooped up by a teammate. But that hasn't happened (...though with how annoyingly repetitive Frank's schtick is, I wouldn't mind if he disappeared for a book or two).
I managed to wake up a little more when their home city is under threat or the "big bad" streamer guy from the earlier books in the series is lurking around their territory (not because he's a good antagonist. but because the stakes are more consequential).
Other LitRPG series manage to both get my heart pumping and bring a tear to my eye... but this one, nothing.
What interests me the most is:
- the evolution of "House" (...though, that said... she's apparently the world's most advanced AI, yet Frank seems honestly more capable in every way. So I don't see why the VR game's CEO cares so much about seeing her technology). "House" is perhaps the one character where the author actually shows in his writing ability that he can be genuinely humorous.
Actually, that's about it. And if it wasn't for Travis Baldree's excellent voice work, I doubt I'd have cared about or enaged with her even either.
Okay... so if I dig and think harder, maybe I found the way the way that previously-scary "GOON" guild (that was razing cities and sounded like the next big bad) turned out when we actually got to meet them was refreshing. Points for the way that was written differently, I suppose.
But the threads I might have cared about from earlier books (...e.g. the unknown implications of the introduction of some of House's super-advanced, one-of-a-kink AI technology into the way this VR game world is itself operated) have seemed to have been dropped. And now it's just... more levels, more stats, bigger weapons... but I can't find myself caring about them because he hasn't made me care about the implications of winning/losing battles enough.
So why did I read Book 3? Because I couldn't find anything else to read sadly. I won't be picking up Book 4 (...unless the reviews for it are people complaining about the lack of Frank (fingers crossed!) and other big shifts in the story. then maybe I might)
