Good book, but author has great talent.

Author has a great quality of work. The plot line went ok and story was well thought out. I just felt like the author could do even better with an old school rpg style. Not this mass battles but with one on one Rpg. There the Author could truly shine.

However I do believe the next book moves in to that.

This review was left in turn for a free copy of this book.

10 out of 10 Tavia Gilbert as always is amazing

all I can say is that it's an excellent start to a series and that Tavia Gilbert and Jeff Hayes have to get together and make narrator babies

Fake it tell you make it.

This book is the epitome of this phrase. Honestly, this book is kinda a one treck pony, and I guessed a key point of the ending well in advance. I'll give it points for its original take on a litRPG. I also appreciate that not only did it get straight to business with the intro, but also that they're very little Stat readings. Some litRPG's get bogged down with this, and pull you from immersion of the moment at times.

It is entertaining for a while, but I find myself dreading Dan's perspective since he's often calling people cowards, or manipulative. Even though everyone else practically idolizes him. The constant misunderstanding gets grating after a while. Especially when you realize that's all the book is. If I had to describe it, I would say, it's a sitcom marathon where none of the issues are resolved, but all the other characters besides the main one THINK they are, while the MC barrels head first into the next problem with barely a shread of a plan. Over, and over, and over and over again.

He's not getting by on skill it's like.. Ok think of it this way. If you trained your whole life to complete against others that were trained to a similar standard, then as a professional, it's common sence you do things a certain way. Most efficient path, best lines of sight, ext. Now drop a casual player into the mix. Utter chaos. Instead of actual plans and forethought, this guy bulldozes any plan counting on an enemy that has the same way of thinking. That's the entire premise of the book.

What if, we dropped a newbe with no training into MLG under the false assumption he knew what he was doing?

While the idea was funny, I couldn't help but feel tired of it after awhile.

Litrpg version of, "The Man Who Knew To Little".

A completely clueless guy, who lucks into amazing things. It's awesome! I'm definitely spending a credit for the next book.

Story is Worse than GOT Ending

The book is nearly impossible to listen to by the end. Main character is so dumb that he never actually achieves anything. Yet Every move works out at maximum positive results. He thinks he’s acting outside the box at the start, and makes a glass canon character. The other characters think he’s amazing and a brilliant genius.,,., it’s all luck.... WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER HEARD..... worse then GOT ending

a pretty awesome litrpg

I really enjoyed this litrpg it didn't bog it self down with tons of bloat just giving you the ability and how it worked when it is learned. so if you prefer your litrpg a bit lighter to keep the action flowing this is for you.
the only complaint I have is the mc not noticing people's real reactions to him as well as feeling a bit over lucky in a few spots. honestly though he was enjoyable even still.

Never Ascribe To Malice...

...that which is adequately explained by incompetence. The ultimate moral of the story, here we have a perfect example of the old lesson. Our champion succeeds through a mix of making the right decisions for the totally wrong reasons and dumb luck, but it's the actions of his opponents that really cement this by not following this rule. And what's most entertaining about the book.

Unusual, funny, and good

This book was a pleasant surprise because it is different from any of the LitRPG books I’ve read before.
First, the story moves quickly and doesn’t devote a lot of language to explaining what’s going on or how it’s happening. At first I found this slightly confusing, but that passed soon enough, and the fast pacing helped with the story.
Second, the protagonist’s success reflects an odd mix of luck and competence, with luck playing a much greater role than is normal. Initially that made it harder for me to get attached to him. But that changed once the real bad guy shows up and the protagonists talents took on a larger roll.
Third, the book constantly changes perspective between the protagonist and his allies and enemies, describing the same set of events from differ characters’ perspectives. This not only makes for good comedy. It’s also a critical plot devise and adds depth to the story. Eventually the protagonists luck starts to look like something more by seeing it through the eyes of other characters.
If you’re looking for something different from the standard litRPG framework, I recommend giving this book a try.

Fun and hilarious

I haven't listened to a book that makes me laugh this hard for a long time. I had to leave my post at work for a few minutes because I suddenly burst out laughing in the kitchen. I'm sure people think I'm nuts now...

Wow... What an adventure!

I had so much fun listening to this book. Seriously, I lost sleep. this book makes you feel good. This book is inspiring. We don't realize the way we effect those around us. I can't wait for the next one.
