First I’m a big fan of LitRPG ever since I downloaded “The Land”, so I’m always looking for the next big LitRPG story. The premise in the description of this book sounded like a really interesting take on the genre. Unfortunately what really killed it for me was the weird lack of emotion in almost everything and how dumb everyone is. The main hero in the story is played with a flat emotionless voice but worst yet, the characters themselves don’t actually seem to really care about anything at all. Even with pain reduction completely off everyone has no problem just dying repeatedly and killing each other. Really? The pain would be so extreme that despite re-spawning no one would ever want to go through that again. Yet everyone in this world seems fine with killing each other, re-spawning and then shaking hands. Kind of makes the whole system seem dumb. Even after the evil would-be tyrant is eliminated and thousands are killed, the heroes response is “…that was kinda fun”. What? Where’s the anger, the passion, the emotion? instead they giggle and all go on a vacation. Very weird and kind of kills the whole thing for me. If the characters don’t seem to care about anything why should the reader? Only interesting and satisfying part for me was in the epilogue where the bad guy got his just desserts.
