Publisher's Summary

Things are looking up for Jax, more or less. He's met a cool girl (who's a wisp), got some new friends (who're Dwarves and Cat people and Elves and all sorts), and started a war.... (Whoops!)

That last one might not be the best idea he's had yet, admittedly, but the guy was an ass, and he deserved it.... 

Only thing is, they say an Englishman's home is his castle, and Jax's home is in ruins...this place isn't going to be any use in defending his new people unless he gets it sorted, and fast! 

He needs material, equipment, magic and people, most of all he needs time, time to get things ready, to get his ships in the air and his house in order....

When you're surrounded on all sides, outclassed, outnumbered and everyone's probably a bit brighter than you are, there's only one option.... Attack!

Full of Potholes

Overall I'd say the book is a mediocre read with the negatives overshadowing the positives, like a long well maintained road with a small stretch of tire destroying potholes that render the entire road useless. As to why that is, well, the MC is supposed to be some sort of bad ass, ex military, trained to the gills, warrior with a bloodline mixed with dozens of powerful nonhuman lineages but he acts like an awkward and angry teenager 90% of the time. He's more of a juvenile delinquent than anything else despite being (I think) in his thirties. Besides that, the MC has been getting sexually harassed by a dungeon pixie he's mentally linked to for two books now. She keeps cornering him when he's alone and insisting that they have sex despite him repeatedly telling her no and asking her for more time to consider it. Maybe the author considers this some sort of long drawn out foreplay or maybe he meant it as a joke, but this is a recurring trope in the books that at some point grew creepy and more than a little rapey. The fact that she has a direct link to his brain and utilizes it to choose forms that would make it easier for her to manipulate him doesn't help.

Sucks

This book is over the top with relationship problems between main character and oracle and he seems to be all down about himself the whole time

Great addition to the series

I really can't say enough about how much I enjoy this series. I've recommended to every fan of LitRPG I know. If you're considering this series, you won't go wrong. If you've already started the series and have completed the first book, then you won't be disappointed by this addition.

this book kind of didn't go ahead

I don't want his brother to become his enemy shall be horrible I like going to fight next to each other for a couple of books. second it's taking a while to save those people's families too long I feel

I really wanted to like this book

I really tried to like the second installment of this book but it just kept getting worse to the point I could not take it anymore I returning this book.

As good as the first

Pulse pounding action. Great story. Can't wait until the next book. One of the best novels I've ever listened to ever.

2nd book in this series.

This is the 2nd book in the series and was amazing. If you haven't picked up the first book do so it is well worth it. I look foreword to the 3rd books release.

Buy this. Seriously

I’ve listened to 100 of these stories. This one ACTUALLY sounds different literally and figuratively! The story is wildly different but still stays on the same narrative all MMO readers love, it’s got some spice to it to keep it interesting, and the narrator is something out of a movie with the unique voices he uses. I promise you’ll love this one. I can’t wait for book 3

Very Disappointing...Returned

I came for brute swings Naginata and kills things. Very simple, very easy requirement to satisfy. I put up with the narrator last book because the story was interesting and kept me engaged. Could not get through 5hrs of this overly emotional snooze fest and the narrator was the final nail. I tried to put it down and come back multiple times. Solid nope from me. Very disappointed. I don't care what happens in this story anymore. Should have stopped with Book 1. First book rated over 4.6 that I have absolutely no desire to finish.

Best book

I love the book series in general and it has a great story line I like how the book is narrated on audible the story keeps you entertained and wanting more I can’t wait for the next book to come out!!!!!!

Strong sequel!

Strong sequel in a similar sprit like the first book. Would have wanted a little more progress in the story and magic and less random events.
