He can break out and carve out a section of the world for himself as an adventurer. Compete to be the first to locate hidden dungeons, kill the biggest monsters, and gain renown across Gadobhra. Yeah, that sounds like way more fun.

Interesting idea

The book starts out a little slow for me. Maybe that is because we are following so many characters at the beginning. By being paid in a game to essentially be an NPC, we get some good world building. The characters are lacking interesting powers so it doesn’t seem like that fun of a game they have joined. The story was fun but slow. I enjoyed their journey. The MC did a good job.

A great series

I've read thru book 5 on RR and I can say that this series is great. I love what WK has done. I just wish he would focus on this series more.

Fun read

I’ve read the authors other books with same narrator and same cheeky humor. Entertaining and worth the read.

Fun story

I enjoyed how the varied characters interact with each other. It's fun to see the workers get stronger behind the boss's backs. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

great concept

I enjoyed the book slow build up a little silly definitely worth a credit. I am looking forward to the next one. (needs better editing)
