Mark is a great narrator!

Really enjoyed the book! Hope the next one comes out soon. If you like litrpg give it a try.

From dungeon dunk to cyber punk

A nice transition from a low-tech medieval realm to that of a techno cyberpunk environ. What's next steampunk? Kidding aside, Jason Anspach and JN Chaney teamed up to create a fascinating follow-on book to the series. I found their effort to transform existing weapons and armor from one realm to the other with similar damage and shield characteristics well done and what one would expect from an online game that allows players to move between realms without having to start anew. Even so, there did appear to be some weapons available in 86-Neon that were more devastating than that of "normal" realm.

The story itself played out well; albeit taking a bit longer than expected to enter the world. There also appears to be at least 3 new tier 1 players introduced even though their game involvement was brief and spotty. One of them was a low-leveled and a bit shifty (similar to a character-type Mark Boyett performs in other authors SciFi books) who provided some realism to the group's personalities.

Mark Boyett performance a definite plus to the story telling, as is his forte.

Well worth the credit and a desire to impatiently wait for the next book in the series.

takes time to take off

if you read the first, it flows very smoothly. although I loved the play of different angles, I was hoping for some.e more of neon. the story did come together beautifully and yes, I am looking forward to the next book to come out.

one of the best video game series I've ever seen

I'm really picky about my lit-rpg books, but so far this series has kept me hooked. It's engaging and fun in a way that you don't usually see. And I can tell the writers are gamers. That's the key. So many of these writers nowadays just write about games and you can tell they've never played any....or it's been years and they're out of touch. That is NOT the case here. Chaney and Anspach have played a lot of video games and it shows. I especially like the little nods to smaller franchises or even the big ones like WoW or Zelda.

Please keep these books coming. The quality is unparalleled.

simp coward weak pushover are words come to mind

everyone this mc comes into contact with insults and degrades him in some form or fashion and he just stands there and takes it. in the first book I thought maybe he was just playing the calm stoic warrior or just turning the other cheek to be the bigger person but it's old now and I refuse to finish listening. he was supposed to have all this experience playing since he started during the beta but everyone he comes across calls him a noob and he just takes it like it's fine. then he meets this female elf that he completely gets infatuated with from the start even after thinking to himself that it was probably a dude. then he follows her around like a puppy while she insults him to his face repeatedly. I stopped there. weak and stupid characters suck

OK Story, subpar MC who doesn't learn from past.

Interesting story line yet the MC continues to fall right into the same issues/traps. He seems to enjoy letting bad people less than half his level, beat him near to death in every fight before the author's insert "plot armor" to allow the MC to stumble out of every situation or be saved by a more competent player. The MC is a nice guy abs means well yet is extremely naive and fails to critically think in some of the most obvious "this Is definitely a trap" situations that even a 5th grade would think twice about. MCs need to grow. They need to know when it's appropriate to show compassion while also knowing when to take action, removing obvious life threatening obstacles without thinking twice about giving that obstacle a second, third or fourth chance. The MC is a total case in being a nice guy who continues to fail up at every "plot armor" filling instance. Do better author's. It's okay the have a compassionate MC who is also strong and who has a back bone.

This is a great series! Highly recommend it! Enough humor, excitement with a little mystery! Of course Mark is excellent at Narration! Enjoy!

Very Good volume #2

Enjoyed King’s League, my first Lit RPG. Enjoyed this even more. The juxtaposition of the Fantasy and Cyberpunk was different. Can’t wait for #3.

Get this one!

this is my first LITRPG series. I was kind of hesitant to jump into this, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.
everything that I have consumed in the Variety Publishing realms has been absolutely first class storytelling.

I Really Tried

Gave the MC a chance through the first book and half of the second because I did like the story but I simply can't get over how immature and just plain stupid every single person in this book is. The MC is so childish and naïve that it's similar to a toddler being given a fortune suddenly.
