ehhh

So I listened to Rohan latest book first the dragon magic one and it is a really good book. I highly recommend it however this book for lake a better word is just kinda boring. not a bad book but it just take forever to get going. his last book though is really good so check that out instead.😉

Crunchy and not for everyone

Enjoyable for those looking for this specific type of book, certainly not for everyone. A book focused on mechanics, tactics and crunch rather than characterization.

A charming start to potentially interesting summer

A charming start to potential interesting summer day read or something to be read by the fire in some areas you be a bit destroyed it but over all this is a great story he just want something to relax and just listen to a fish out of water trying to evolve into a land mammal

Very bland book, dosen't flow well in audio format

I got through it but I think the author just isn't there yet in their writing. Story is very bland and the the characters dialog is boring. there was very little there to draw me into the world their trying to create. I think their biggest mistake was spending to long on the setup. There is no build up and no climax. it's all very linear. I also didn't like their choice of echo and adding reverb to the gods and system messages.

In short, skip it. At least until there is a book 2 to judge it better.

cliff hanger

finish the story authors! This isn't a weekly TV show. Narration was done well. word.

Loved it!

Was awesome when I found it on kindle and was even better once it hit audible I can’t wait for the next book on audible! (And kindle!) more please!

Not for every one.

The first half of this book is for a very detailed creation of Kyren's new avatar body. The second half starts Kyren new life in Myelad even here the author spends a good deal of time letting Kyren crash and burn for a while before he gets a little more together. This book is for those who like a story where the author to go into unimaginable details on everything, it is almost as if the first book is a primer on everything that is new in this alternative universe. This is good for new listeners to this genre that need the detailed explanation, but not so for a veteran to the genre.

Slow start but great foundation and gritty realism

The story has a very slow initial start with a lot of background information given and foundational details to best understand the politics. The story quickly picks up and leaves you with a cliffhanger on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. Though the story could have been faster paced, the gritty realism helps make up for it and provides enough incentive to keep you captivated for more.

When will the other 4 books come out?

I want the MMOlit genre to succeed. This by far one of the best written so far. Unlike others, the reading of the character sheet has been condensed into tiny chapters, so you can skip over them. I like the unique approach to joining the game. i hope the other books will soon be released.

Where are the rest

A lot of jumping around setting the scene and giving context hopefully book 2 really dogs in but I don’t recommend getting this book till then
