I guess trying to catch the bus with your laces undone isn’t such a smart decision after all…

One fatal collision later, and I’m facing my judgment. As it turns out, I’ve been a lazy sob, and my short, uneventful life of playing games and getting up late wasn’t worth much. And so I don’t qualify to move on to the afterlife.

I try to argue to the goddess in front of me that I do have skills, that it was hard work playing those simulation and management games. But she will not concede.

In the end, I manage to get the benefit of the doubt, and a wager is made. To test my claims, I’ll be sent to a desolate, Level 1 village with the mission to make it thrive. If I fail or die, the goddess will bring me back to my old life, back to the drudge of working at the grocery store.

But that’s not going to happen. I will prove that all these countless hours spent in front of my computer were not in—

Ack, my head! Where the hell have I landed? Looks like a dilapidated farm, with a few huts scattered about. Qualifies as a desolate village, alright. I can’t believe it. This is it! I’m actually doing this! But where do I even begin…Yes, first, find the Mayor…but then what, convince her to hand over the keys so I can work my magic? Could it be that simple?

Oh, there she is. Uh, hello? Hmm, why isn’t she waking up? Maybe I should go look for some quest to do in the meantime. Uh, are these goblins I see there on the road?

“You are under attack!”

Dang.

Really not long enuff. The passing was very good just wish there was more expecting and explaing with the witches and the magic system. He never really used his manigment spell

Good world building. Good progression. Love it hope there’s another one

I really loved this book. Kept my attention the entire time. I liked the main character and it was fun to see his ambitions and ideas play out. I think he could negotiate stinger business deals but I felt he was growing and becoming more organized in the end. I had fun and I would love to see where else this story is going. Also interested in seeing a lot more of the lit rpg aspects in the next book. The village interface is not used very often. Overall I’ll definitely be interested in book 2

Enjoyable Village building

no real conflict. everything works out. Narration was done well. good story for the Y.A. crowd.

meh

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Good storyline, clearly one of the plots centered on growth by negotiation and as such was interesting and atypical as a book.

Good start to a new series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The economics and politics really kick in later on towards the later half of the book. It really brings it together.

Slow start but gets better.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This was a good start to a new series, but it wasn't great. The main character had no real conflict or antagonist to slow him down. He also seems to have all the answers for every problem.

First-time listener to civilization building litrpg along with main character being character charisma.

Easy Start

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I enjoyed it, though not as much as the other books by this author. it's a fun story

good story and narration

A fun and intresting story with intresting charters and a good start on a intresting world. All told with a good narator.

Fun
