Corruption. Power struggle. Malevolent deities.

All this is topped off by a mysterious golden tower that appeared overnight, drawing adventurers from far and wide. Still recovering from the events of Transposition and struggling with his nature, Matt sets out to rescue his best friend from the clutches of the mysterious organization that kidnapped him. He’ll need every trick in the Rogue’s playbook to stay ahead of the game, using infiltration, cunning, and his unique Ordinator ability to outthink and outmaneuver stronger and better-connected foes.

With both new players and the remaining fragments of government in pursuit, playing both sides comes with the territory, and leaning into his alternate identity’s villainous image will be key. Of course, there’s the obvious question: How long can you play the villain before you become one?

Book two of a LitRPG apocalypse series set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond Matt's wildest dreams.

I like how the chapters continue from the first book. This book is setting up a big story arch. I hope it will maintain the momentum and quality so far.

Good 2nd round.

Somehow, the review shows the performance as 2 out of 5 stars. I don't know why or what I did wrong but it should have been 5 out 5.

This pairing of Jay McCoy and Ramon de Campo is imo perfection. It's a match I really hope will continue in many more future collaborations. It's a matched pair in the same league as Liegh Bardugo and Lauren Fortang, or Plum Parot with Rob Moreira.

Just a CORRECTION on my pervious review.

Complex story and characters no harem elements. The stakes feel more real than in most books like it. I am looking forward to the next one.

stands apart from most books in this genre.

This is a banger. The plot, the twists, the delivery of action scenes, character development. It’s a good formula that has a punchy flavour.

I enjoy the psychological morally grey pools the MC swims in. A lot of questions gradually being ironed out as. The MC’s story unfolding in the shadow of his sibling’s OP role. There’s a lot to glee over. The story unfolds in one way but makes you think about all the different ways it unfold.

This is good. It’s really good. The author hasn’t messed it up so far.

Good luck and I hope you take it home.

I pray you do …

Worth the Money

Everything in this book is wonderful. I love the way Matt deals with the various plates he has spinning, managing the people around him and deflecting suspicion and blame as best he can. Too often for comfort, solving one problem creates two more as things become ever more entangled. He's no longer the only mastermind in the shadows and while in many ways he's the least powerful, few can match his raw talent for manipulation. Psychological trauma is catching up with everyone, and more than one important character is way too close to breaking.

This book is just as intelligent and complex as the first, with grounded characters and high personal stakes. My sole criticism of book one (the overly dramatic claiming of region fourteen) has clearly been surpassed by the author, and I have to admit that my only issue is that the story beats are a bit too similar to Death Note in some places. Other than that though, I couldn't find a single other flaw in the entire twenty-six hours of story. The narrator is just as good, with a wonderful range of dark, tense, or comedic deliveries as applicable.

I highly recommend. This series is easily one of the top five I have EVER read. Don't miss out on it.

P.S. A quote from the book that quite neatly summarizes several plot points: "If it happens to me, it's Deus Ex Machina. But if it happens to everyone? It's an arms race."
