Decent

Decent litrpg, the trope is profanity, so expect that. Looking forward to the new book & the new rules.

Much Fun

Ive enjoyed a lot of Aaron Oster's work. I picked this one up knowing it was a distant prequel to his SuperMage series. This one is a very different experience from his other books. It's, in my opinion, much more light hearted and a whole lot of fun. I really liked the contrast between the main character's unpolished, sailor mouthed personality and that of his much more refined companion. Its a good dynamic. I can only begin to speculate how these characters evolve into their centuries/millennia older SuperMage counter parts... as they're nothing at all alike presently in the story. Very much looking forward to the next installment.

pretty good

overall not a bad book. the story was solid, I did not predict the ending. its kind of annoying how easy this MC has it. all his problems are solved by his dog (totally OP) or some deus ex machina BS. and the ladies love him. like big MC boners for him. but altogether I like it. kinda funny, easy to listen to, good all around effort. there was one problem, the author has a gift for awkward turns of phrase, from time to time I was knocked out of the story by a weird sentence formation, I wish I had an example, but I wasn't taking notes.

great book

at first I was not impressed however the book builds and I have come to really like this book, i can not wait until book 2 comes out.
