Ritual of summoning

Anyone know a ritual to get book three, because Dakota is killing it. I can't wait to see how this world evolves !

First Book drew me in the Second Swallowed me hole

This story and the world it builds combined with the narration drew a world that I was unwilling to leave. That I was stricken when reaching the end of the book and finding that there is not a third waiting to escape into it.

If you have never given Amazon titles for litrpg a shot or wanting to experience the world of audible, then this series is the one you want as your first. It will have you at the edge of your seat, smiling with mirth at the bad jokes and wanting your own POD to join the fantastic world that Joe lives in now.

Wow

This was somehow even better than the first book. As his power grows, so does my interest and engagement in his success and failure in this world. The revelations are incredible and genuinely surprising. Though he did not pick the specialised class I wanted him to, I am still looking forward to reading the next book.

Meh.

I agonised over whether to give this 4 or 5 stars (4 being my 'bad' rating, I don't often go below it). It was right on the borderline.

Regicide is... good? Better than the first book, anyway, and if you've read that and enjoyed it you'll probably enjoy book two. World building is better - the world seems 'less dead.' It's full of players and quests and not-just-Joe-and-the-people-he-interacts-with. I'm still not a huge fan of Vikas Adam, but he does a better job here than in book one for the most part (there is this weird thing though where he literally says descriptive words like 'gasp', 'asterisk', 'wheeze' and 'cough' though. It's super distracting, especially in the stat sections, where he'll say asterisk asterisk asterisk multiple times in a row).

Writing was lazy at times - there's a lot of telling (as opposed to showing). Every person had to have their emotions told to us. He drank sadly, she commented happily, he growled annoyedly, he grunted grumpily, etc etc etc. I would have liked to have seen the author describe the person being happy, instead of just stating that they were. And I totally tuned out of an entire section of the book (where Joe is in the dungeon) because I was bored and confused, which is never a good thing.

So yeah... four stars. Nearly five, but not quite there even for this genre. There's a lot better out there than this, but also a lot worse. Your move.

Just fits my style.

Love the crossover between old RPGs and modern digital gaming. Also love that it hints at an alternative creation story.

Enjoyed the story

Story was entertaining enough, but that accent of the Bard…cringey. Poor attempt at a Scots accent. 🤦🏼‍♂️
