Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Does anyone remember how popular 50 shades got when it came out? I suspect this book got popular for the same reason. I came for an adventure story, but got wrestling around, pinning the MC with hips firmly mounted to hers while whispering unhelpful instructions in a sultry whispering voice.

When Alex Carter gets whisked away into an interdimensional strategy game, he quickly realizes this isn’t just a simulation—it’s survival. Plopped into Stonebridge, a rundown, rat-infested city, he’s given one goal: lead his city to victory against the three other mayors, their savage rival species, and impossible odds. There are no second chances here; the last city standing wins, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With each battle, Alex edges closer to an ultimate prize selection that could change his life forever.

Dude gets isekaied to another dimension where he has to compete in a real time strategy/town builder competition/battle that ends with the last settlement standing.
It was good. It had me hooked from the first chapter onward. 10/10 would recommend this book to a loved one. It’s a stand alone, so there aren’t follow on books that you’ll have to wait for.

Reviewed: 03-20-25
Until this point I have been a big fan of Brandon Sanderson’s novels. This book, however, was written like a novice fan fiction with no plot, not hook, and no fun. I had to force myself to trudge through it. At last I think I am no longer a BS fan.
Also I gave the performance 1 star because somehow this books ratings haven’t dipped in spite of all the poor reviews.

Yeah, it's good. Why are you looking at the review for book 10? If you are unsure whether to start this series because there's a lot of books and you are just seeing if the comments describe a degrading series or not, then look no further.
This is a killer LitRPG series and it gets better with each book.

Usually I prefer waiting for a book to get more reviews before purchasing. However, I wasn't let down. Arche Features OP weapons, a blend of classic and unique skills, and a protagonist who puts things together relatively quickly [without having to ask "What do you mean?" 1000X a chapter]. There are some well-developed relationships that add depth. What else? I don't know. It was good. I'm definitely adding this to my list of series to follow.

Book Changed Genres
Reviewed: 08-21-24
The series didn’t start as a Fantasy/Western, but it is now. Folks from New Dallas speak a different language called Texan that is spoken in a southern accent. Words/phrases like “Sheriff,” “Interstate,” and “Coffin deep” are all over. It breaks the fourth wall in a distracting way.
Had the series started out this way, as a satirical fantasy like disc world, then I would be all about it, but it didn’t, and I’m disappointed in the careless turn of events.

"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

Annoying on multiple levels
Reviewed: 05-16-24
1) three of the MAIN CHARACTERS and every side character hisses when they speak (because lizard) or click for every K sound (because ant). Its spectacularly annoying.
2) MC is ULTRA pacifist. Cry’s over spiders and ants.
3) The whole book is ultra feminine. It would be okay if there was a balance, there was no balance. The men are all rapey and the women talk about period blood.
4) Having a MC that complains is poor writing..
5) whole chapters worth of internal dialogue that takes itself too seriously.
6) THE CLICKING AND HISSING NEVER STOP FOR 24 HOURS!!!!

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.

Does not have any of the annoying content some of the other authors of this genera like to include in their stories. At first I lacked faith in the author, thinking maybe this was a sequel to a previous book. Yeah, that's on me. The beginning of this book was really well done. It's a unique concept that I would have never considered and it took a minute to understand where the story was going. 10/10 would recommend.

The long-awaited sequel to Jake’s Magical Market is finally here—and now with more market! Well, not quite yet. First, Jake has to survive a perilous trek through time if he ever hopes to return home to his friends, his market, and his former world. The last time we saw our intrepid hero, Jake had barely managed to escape being trapped on a dead version of his own world. Using a combination of his new powers, he threw himself backward through time, back to when the god that trapped him first rose to power.
