Compared to other LitRPG, this one follows a Tower Defense strategy. At first blush, this book had promise with an interesting and fresh take on the normal dnd role play.
The plot for this book is unfocused, with tons of interesting world building threads that never get wrapped up. There are tons of disjointed systems and the authors grasp of time and math is ridiculous.
For example, the author makes a training montage a core part of the book. The training system initially showed some challenge/growth but later becomes a freebie ex machina where the Mc gets just what he needs for the next surprise by the enemy. In one of the montages he queues up a playlist, asks how long he’s been at it, gets told he has been working for 2 hours…and then the playlist switches to the second song.
Add to that the constant reminder that “how cool is it that our MC just needed super powers to assess self control and self worth.” Blech.
Not continuing to read this series.
