I’ve purchased one or more of these (LitRPG) books before, and never completed them. I simply lost interest with the in-game grind described in minute detail. I enjoyed this one all the way through. The mc is engaging. The author explains why he is the way he is without beating you over the head with it. The axe “Frank” is a surprisingly funny secondary character. I’m really surprised he didn’t annoy me. The base concept is different and provides an interesting backdrop: the mc has the game all to himself with the knowledge that everyone who enters eventually will be out to get him. Finally, the world story in-game is also engaging along with the gamers’ being able to literally change the whole world with one action.
