Great (and long) LitRPG with plenty of action!

I truly enjoyed this first book in the New Era Online series. Without giving too many spoilers, I loved how the MC came to be a level 1 goblin. It was a unique twist that really sets the stage for the rest of the book. I really enjoyed Jeff Hays narration, as usual, and he did a great job of giving personalities to a variety of characters throughout the book.

While this is not as heavy on large battles and action scenes (it still has a couple great sequences), the author does a great job in diving in to the town building aspect. For me, and my new found love of LitRPG novels, this was very refreshing. It was a different take and really allowed you to experience/visualize the growth of the new goblin city that he is building.

The NPC interactions were top notch as well. I am interested to see where the story goes with the other two main player characters. They were the only area where I wish I had more information/back story.

I am excited to grab book two and continue this series!
