I pasted over this series multiple times before deciding to give it a try. Literally, dont judge this book by its cover. I was swept away. The entire series gets progressively better with every single volume, and I am currently waiting for the next release. This LITrpg has a dark distopian undertone that is cushioned with a nice mix of humor. I recommend the audible version of this series as soundbooth has outdone themselves with the cast, and it is a wonderful performance. If you like litrpg progression novels that have an MC and their companion, learn how to work together and get stronger together, facing off against all odds stacked against them. This is a book for you. note* This is not a light-hearted series. Lastly, out of the plethora of LITrpg style novels I have consumed in my time, this is one of my favorite AI systems. read along as it slowly becomes unhinged and learn all its kinks along the way. :p
