Wow! Great! Follow Tom as he strives to understand this magical world!

That was great! The author gods and the publisher Archangel followed through by answering my plea, producing a new deck-building litRPG adventure. I've read them all. it's a sub-trope that I dearly love ❤! And Legendary Fool's great, scratching the itch I have for more books of this kind! I wouldn't compare it to other deck-building books, like All the Skills, well... 'cause Dragons of course. But the book is Legendary in it's own right... This is Tom's story a guy that's only willing to do just enough to get by. Never goin out of his way for anyone or anything. And then there was the card Tom received... why was he the recipient of the card the Legendary Fool? Why did the card, the Fool choose him? He really couldn't parse that out. So Tom is thrust into a new reality of Magic and monsters. Where Tom is gonna hafta stop his self centeredness, to embrace the world he now lives in or die.

Good as a story bad as a book

I was entertained through out. I enjoyed the unique system, but felt the world building could have been fleshed out a little better. Still not sure how the dungeons work as a whole, the tower, the nobles, etc.
My biggest complaint is this written for a web series, meaning it doesn’t feel like a complete story. It just goes on until it’s over. (I know that everything does that) There is no build up, larger conflict, climax, resolution. It just has a “to be continued”

It’s good!

I liked this book. Some of the skills are hard to follow. Just re-listen and it will make sense.

Awesome

Really good and entertaining, I was hesitant at first because with a title like that, I thought it was going to be one of those stories were the mcnid the butt of the joke. but nope straight up action and intrigue looking forward to the next one

Interesting concept

Even though I have seen cards and LitRPG mixed before, it still felt original. The game mechanics running the world were very different. The isekai moment at the beginning was well done. It didn’t just skip to the isekai like some books but the moment helped with character development for the MC. Overall it was an enjoyable read. The narrator did a really good job.
