I LOVE how the story quickly jumps right into world building, without the long and drawn out backstory found in many initial books within LitRPG. What makes this series perhaps more interesting than most is the focus on a monster race AND the main character existing as a NPC/player hybrid. This brings about many interesting story lines and opportunities that just wouldn’t be available to standard LitRPG adventures. Overall, book one draws the listener exceptionally well into a new world and stands on par with any of the best LitRPG books in my library. Well done!
