I liked it all. Some of the content was uncomfortable, but it is fiction. Even though it felt very realistic.

Could have been much better
Review from The Fortifier →
The narration feels like the whole book is one giant paragraphing. No chance in pace, tone, no breaks. The story has some good elements but no hook. Nothing that adds urgency to the story, or a challenge.
I really enjoy Michael’s story. I haven’t come across a lot of first person POV litRPG’s, so this is such a refreshing story. Love Andrew Tell as a narrator, I think he does an awesome job. I love the side characters, loot, and skills. Ghost is a great companion and I really love the rebuilding..
I can not count the number of times this book is recommended online. I have resisted but was finally convinced. This is so bad. It is terrible and in my prayers tonight, I will ask for everyone that recommended this book to wake up in the middle of the night in severe gastric distress.
I feel like the author has just stalled out on the main story arc. 3 books later and we’re still on the same side quest with only miniscule mentions of the main goal. 10 straight hours for 1 fight/raid whatever
First 2/3rds of the book are great. Action, problem solving, new interesting characters. The final 1/3rd of the book is effectively setting up the next book. Necessary prose maybe. I think the book would have been served well by adding about 7-10 chapters and ending on a series of cliffhangers given everything that is coming…
As in all previous “Grand Game” books, the characters are uniquely engaging with a variety of different personalities and quirks. That said, the “cliffhanger” is killing me, honestly my only complaint is that I have to wait for the next book to release. LolI LOVE the story, characters, mechanics, lol, all the challenges poor Michael..
Great character and world building in one book. There feels like multiple climaxes in the story, and it leaves you wondering where you’re headed next.
Although I love the world of The Grand Game, Michael’s story is progressing at a snails pace. I feel that either the books should be longer or less time should be spent on side quest.
The story plus the gamer style allows me to scratch both the itch of games and reading. Story structure, progression, pacing, and amazing development. By far one of the best series I have ever read.
