Loving it!
Reviewed: 06-01-21
Loving the humor and the snarky dialog! They probably divide opinions quite heavily, but I'm all for it. There were few spots with just blatant repetition within a chapter. Same stuff told twice, just a tiiny bit differently. Performance was good for the most part. Sometimes characters felt like they were blending together and were hard to tell apart, but that wasn't a major issue. Aside from those blunders, I'm loving the series!

Loved it beyond word! The story telling is so so good, as always, and imho has gotten even better with every book. And once again, a stellar performance from Travis Baldree. He really brings the characters to life.
I'll just leave it at that so that I don't go and spoil anything in my excitement. :D

At the end of the fourth year of the Crisis Era, Yun Tianming, riddled with cancer, chose to end his life. But death for Yun Tianming is merely the first step in a journey that will place him on the front line of a war that has raged since the beginning of time. As Yun Tianming lay dying, his brain was extracted from his body, flash frozen, put aboard a spacecraft and launched on a trajectory to intercept the Trisolarian First Fleet. It was a desperate plan. But there was an infinitesimal chance that one day Tianming may, somehow, send valuable information back to Earth.

Only five days have passed since Jade was brought to a distant world and a new life. Mobile for the first time ever, Jade is given the chance to do something she’s always wanted: attend school. Dracona isn’t your typical school, however. In Andara she needs to learn all the skills an adventurer needs. For her, that means how to cast magic and use weapons without hurting herself. She’ll have to learn fast because the obstacle course isn’t the only thing challenging her progress; she’s racing against the clock to learn how to beat the Mesmer before they find her.

Reviewed: 05-05-20
An overall enjoyable and fun story, but the constant "musicals" make me cringe every time, and rips me out of my enjoyment completely.

Val had returned from his latest tour of duty scarred in body and soul. Barely able to walk and drugged to the gills for pain, he thought his killing days were finally behind him. He couldn't have been more wrong. Endless Online, a hyper futuristic game where players could truly live another life...

Love the slightly different take on LitRPGs
Reviewed: 11-07-19
There have been books that try to explain the "game systems" as laws of nature, but I've found most of them quite lacking in imagination. This book's way of doing it to me, feels like on a whole other level.
That being said, I sometimes found tha narrative to be a bit hard to follow. A few times I found myself flabbergasted with a feeling that I had somehow missed a major part of the story, having to rewind a bit. A minor issue for sure,but still.

When Erik and Rugrat entered the ten realms they didn’t know what was going on. They only knew that they had contracted the two week curse. When entering the second realm they came to understand their character sheets, and part of the system that is called the ten realms. A place that the strong make the rules and the weak cling to them for protection and hope that they might be left in peace. They passed through the trials of the Beast Mountain Dungeon, taking control of it and becoming the leader of nearly 200 people.

Enjoyable, but "simple"
Reviewed: 07-19-19
I'm enjoying the story with it's game like world and magic system, but these books seem to revolve around the god damn word "simple". Practically every other thing is described as either "simple" or "not simple". Come on, there would be myriad of other adjectives and ways that could be used to describe most of the scenes and objects, and that's the only one the author could come up with? Other than that, it's been a funny and decent LitRPG series.
Here's hoping that the author widens his vocabulary a bit in the future.

Full of uninteresting pop culture references, some better placed than others. There is so much of it, that it ruins the whole book for me.
The story is like any other reborn-in-another-world, or "isekai" power fantasy with some it's own flawor.

Really enjoy how the kinda classic "hero chosen by the gods" is turned upside down with these books. Love the concept of keepers and the mystery of why the system is the way it is.
Keep up the good work!
