Before getting to the story, the performance is by Travis Baldree which is always solid and well performed and edited. I’m yet to experience an issue with any of his narrations and they flow well.
In regards to the story, the book took me a few chapters to get into it. The start seemed slow and the fascination with bugs was odd. But once the story gets rolling it doesn’t really slow down. The best aspect I like about the book is the MC’s personality. To me he comes off as a socially awkward person out of game and it partially transfers into the game. In addition he questions standard fantasy tropes such as just because your class is supposed to be a “holy” class doesn’t mean all actions you do are good and automatically makes you good.
Best character sadly is the hissing spider, it needs more screentime
