Was recommended this by someone whose taste I respect.
Not sure though. Silly litRPG by a 16-yo anime fanboy. Learned later (book 3) that is was selfpublished. Yeah, that absolutely shows.
It isn't bad persé. It's like that loose tooth you just have to fiddle with.
But, and that's a big but, the start appealed to my subconscious and my imagination. So I'll continue reading.
Meh-ish. People are calling this a better book than the first, but I'm not sure. It lacks pacing. It isn't bad though. Language is slightly improved. Premise grows more interesting, though it's still silly litRPG.
