Here's my two cents...

1) Story mostly focuses on MC and Game Concepts
2) There are emotional connections but so far absolutely no romance
3) A lot of grinding, but realistic character development and no deus ex machina powerups

(That means no cheating the system because usually game devs ban you for that!)

4) Main character is essentially a Druid + Technomancer in space and reminds me of a Jedi
5) Subtle personal growth of the main characte and they don't start off a COMPLETE idiot

If you can handle that then get this book, this is a LitRPG meant to be enjoyed by someone who likes RPGs, more specifically MMOs, AND enjoys them for the story and satisfying character development. (Wouldn't hurt to be a general Sci-Fi fan as well)

Everyone else go buy something else, to each their own.

Have finished all 3 books

Any additional comments?

Many of the reviews are correct. This book has very little story, containing mostly game mechanics. I'm writing this review here after finishing the third book. Don't give up on this series. The first book seems to be setting everything up. It gets more interesting and adds a tremendous amount of unique ideas to both LITRPG and SciFi. Once the second book comes suddenly there is a story and at least I, am finding it interesting.

All game mechanics, no story

Two hours in, I have to stop. It's all game mechanics, no story. Kept waiting for an actual story, with actual characters, to start, but I'm having to draw the line.

Good with some problems

Comparatively there is no better and complete game world in the litrpg genre. The downside of that is that the story can be slow at times. To make a complete world the author has sacrificed plot and character development.
Unlike other stories in this genre I have not found any glaring consistency and found the world/game to be immersive and whole.
Word of advice, forget the first hour of this story (except for the idea of people becoming virtual). The author makes the main character out as an experienced player who has been making a living playing games and selling unique items (professional player)

HE IS NOT! Do not think of the main character as experienced. Pretend he is just a random guy, whose parents went virtual, and doesn’t understand games (at all since all his development and training choices were horrible). If you see him as just a guy playing a new game without too much experience you will have less cognitive dissonance.

Litrpg

Pretty standard Litrpg, though I felt it had better flow than most.
I did like that the protagonist doesn't seem to be above and beyond others.
no romance. not high in drama. not a lot of conversations.
action adventure, decent descriptive detail.
I did get caught up in this story.
if you are looking for Litrpg type story, with the protagonist doing a lot of grinding this is for you.
if your looking for a romance, drama or suspense... probably not what you want.

no plot at all. just game stats and "mana low"

no plot. good voice actor. waste of money. I suggest you not buy this book

Absolutely no story what so ever.

This is what I was looking for. I wanted a grindfest, something where someone desires and pursues power regardless of an antagonist. I like the idea of intuitive control where inovation is rewarded. This is what i like.

An amazing journey

The first book sucked me into it completely. The way the world of magic was established and described was so compelling that I couldn't get enough of it.

Second and third books kinda went in weird direction with some of the references and jokes but they still kept me engaged in the main story.

The last book nailed it. Everything made sense to me and I'm wholly satisfied.

Overall: 4,5/5, great series.

Boring

Slow, and the Mc is dumb

The author talks out his backside about things he hasn't has the tiniest bit of surface knowledge about

Hard pass

there is no passion in this story guy is just trying to pay his rent with video games could have done this whole book in 1/4 the time and then started on the story
