I’m honestly broken after listening to this. It’s a beautiful story, but there’s so much pain. I was crying in public too often!! And I’m unsure if I’m completely happy with the ending, but I suppose that’s life… part of what makes this so resonant. I wish there was a sequel!
A main character died and it ends very…. Meh. Not bad but definitely a different type of storytelling than I was used too.
Hated the monsters and poor dialogue. Narrator was terrible. I could barely get past the first few chapters let alone 59 hours!
Such a moving story. Wouldn’t change a thing. Loved the different perspectives. Not many authors can do what Wang did and keep the reader going. The story just got better and better as you read.
Loved it and would like to hear more from the series but struggle to find any
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.
