I love Travis Baldree so I listened far longer than I should have (17 hrs) but eventually gave up. The MC is not likeable at all and his kompanion, the axe of bridaled knowledge, isn’t very likeable either. The creator of the vrmmo is not likeable either. It’s pretty much a story with characters spiting each other and the MC, who’m I had a difficult time rooting for in the first place, cheats as much as he can, bribes people and lies to everyone, especially his allies, and for all his efforts he fails in many of his endeavors and other players we don’t get to know anything about, do better and he hates them for it. This is litterally the whole story. I ended up giving up mostly because I don’t like the MC and I don’t exactly want him to succeed and since he’s the only character the book follows, there’s no point in reading further.
