buzz words: portal-lit, tower-climbing, town builder, (somewhat) OP MC The world is well structured and the lore is interesting. the characters are real and have their own feelings and motivations. and the story is gripping, I had bought the rest of the series before being halfway through the first book the cast is perfect and I love the addition of Andrea to the SBT cast, they supliment each other perfectly. JTJ as the narrator is a stroke of genius and Jeff once again earns the title of El Jefe
