It’s like the author is bad at logic and makes up stuff to fill out space/time. So much of the book is wastes of time where the MC does something extremely stupid like walking into a Master mage tower for no other reason than to “scout” and trips a trap rather than continue on with..

The whole book was educational it filled out the personality of Washington and Franklin. It made the fight for independence real exceptional book!
Review from The Grand Game, Book 1 →
Narration and storyline was great, easy to follow. Wasn’t super crazy with the stat. There are some litrpg that will fill several chapters with just character status pages. Kept me very immersed in the world he was building. I will personally be listening to the entire series. 
This story doesn’t fall victim to typical tropes. It was beautifully done and characters experienced a welcome amount of growth. Was slow to get started, but spends a lot more time character building than world building. Once you embrace that it’s a fantastic read
I’m a huge fan of fantasy and I’m thrilled to have discovered this one. Its focus on characters has been a wonderful surprise and in its complexity, I think multiple characters could have been the protagonist. It’s well written with an excellent performance from the narrator.
Loved this story, but had to stop the audible and read the ebook because the narrator wasn’t my favorite. I wish they would have selected a narrator who spoke Japanese fluently. I live in Japan and hearing some of the Japanese words spoken awkwardly was a little frustrating. I’m sure Andrew is a great narrator,..
Predictable. All male characters are weak, flawed, and lack a reason for being. Regret buying multiple books.
Review from Collapsed World →
So glad I’m not left hanging till the next book comes out. Great story you won’t be sorry reading it.

The world-building is world-class with the introduction of additional character races and more problems. The pace of the book is well-developed and the author does a great job managing..
Review from Empty Bodies →
I’m glad I listened to Dead South series before The Empty series. This series was disappointing. Could have been way better
