i picked up this book in a shopping spree, and it sat on my backlog for a while, hence i pretty much went in blank. I am more than impressed with the entertainment this story delivered, it was hardly possible to take a break from going into the next chapter. this story has strong litrpg aspects, as i had expected, but the story takes place in a fantasy world, where deaths are real and stakes are high. the characters are not from another world which makes everything feel so much more natural, all the interactions feel authentic and meaningful. i was super impressed with the quality of the character designs, it made the environment feel alive and vibrant, all the characters have distinct personalities and i found myself feeling excited no matter who the mc was interacting with. i have fallen in love with the world, it’s noble drama and the characters that constantly surprise me. I cannot wait for the next book, and i hope the author will continue to make the story feel so magical.
finally, i want to point out that the narrator did a phenomenal job. the mc’s voice is pleasant and the other characters have a voice that matches their characters. i am especially impressed with the female voices.
