this is an excellent LitRPG story. Well written characters, consistent themes, and a well thought out rules system. And the narration is absolutely spot on. That being said, there are a few continuity errors that jostled the story a few times. SPOILERS: the circumstances of James Lions’ death change multiple times (throat slit, unmarked, neck broken). The MC says multiple times that he has only 2 Mantles cards, but he should have st least 3; the author seems to forget that Wolf picked up Fankie’s mantle with his deck. I have alot of praise and respect for the author, but I hope his editors pay closer attention to his next book. Which I will definitely be buying.
