Publisher's summary

Grab your sword and get ready to level up.

The only way out is through.

Unbeknownst to him, Ray is about to partake on an adventure filled with magical beasts, warring factions, and a leveling-up system out of this world. He'll encounter filthy bandits, musty crypts, and friendly werewolves. Oh, you heard us right.

If only he wasn't given negative charisma points around women, he might have a chance, but you can't win them all.

When the only way out of the game may be through, you fight like your life depends on it. Because it just may. Survival means victory, and defeat could mean the end - forever.

Note from the authors: This one's for the underdogs out there. For lovers of adventure, the dice rollers of chaos, and the unapologetic gamers. We can't promise it'll be safe, but we can promise you're in for one great journey.

Slow to get going and pretty predictable.

For a free book it's not bad at all, although I did conclude some key plot points very early on. Even before the subtle/ not so subtle hints. The beginning is kinda rough but at a certain point it picks up a bit. One of the issues with litrpg and dungeon core books is you hear a very similar introduction and rules/ tutorial scenario quite frequently. The old governor I'm not gonna try spelling his name and Trill are my favorite characters, both kind of predictable but somehow still interesting. I'm not too sure how to feel for alot of it. I'm not gonna leave spoilers but although I caught major character developments uber early and guessed basically immediately, the hints where a very nice touch. Like it makes you look back and be like ahhhh, the stars abbbbboovve! You couldn't be 100% certain either cause the author could just be a 100% butt man and basically take all those hints and pull the ripcord on that whole situation. See, stars above, am I good or what. This is cnn, this is cnn, cnn, c, n , n.

So great

This book is so awesome! My brother recommend this and I am so glad I trusted him!

good book

it was a great book I really liked the skyrim mechanics. but I disliked the romance with the npc I found it weird and I found her unlikable. the magic system was pulled straight out of skyrim which I found cool but it was overall a good book

hated it but liked it

had a lot of potential but for me fell short. many things in the story that made it frustrating

great book

I really liked the characters nicely created. Lot's of surprises. Really fooled me with the surprised ending. overall a really great read. A really good narrater good voice. Thanks.

Entertaining

This book is very sorry similar to other LitRPG s I have read, but just because it was similar does not mean it was not good. I think I will get the rest of this series, when I have enough credits or there is a sale.

Awesome series

was bored so I started this series, so happy I did can't put the book down awesome series.

OMG

Absolutely terrific. Definitely in my top 10 percent and high on my list of get more. But I am not a gamer and some of the references with only initials are confusing. I suggest that first time they get fully spelled out.

Juvenile Fun

Fun but all the plot surprises, aren't. They're pretty obvious before being "revealed." It desperately needs a decent editor. There are a bunch of wonky sentences with some jarring word/phrase order and word choice/spelling issues "amongst my city" Typography/topography
nonconsequential/ inconsequential sequestered imps that aren't sequestered but are isolationist groups. And a funny error, though it is repeatedly said to be impossible(ad nauseum), manna is constantly refilling during battle.

Entertaining and enjoyable

I liked it. It was very entertaining, and it was easy to get immersed in the story. Maybe a little predictable.
