There are only a few books with as much of an impact on me personally as this one. Wang details the events of a small island pulled between the reality of its limitations and the Legend that their government has crafted for them. We follow a young boy as he is forced to face his..
Review from The Grand Game, Book 1 →
When a book is labeled an Litrpg its main focus should be constant character progression in a RPG environment! That is exactly what the author has done in this book for 15 hrs plus! Throw in an excellent narrator with good writing and then you have The Grand Game.
I do appreciated the lack of foul language which is rare these days. The lack of knowledge of so much was trying. Making Wyatt a Navy seal was a bad mistake. Any Seal would be ashamed in his lack of survival knowledge and military strategy. He never thought to recon or have a decent plan…
Review from 3 Hour Tour →
I was drawn into this book because I like survival stories especially on islands with a bit of mystery and intrigue. While this book has these things, I feel the ending left something to be desired. It just wasn’t, whats the right word, satisfying? It was good though 🙂
Great storyline. Entertaining to listen to. This is not a white knuckle action adventure story. There is a mature and subtle flow to the story.

It started off really well and there were moments throughout that I was really invested. However, the personal interactions between characters is where this story really fell short.

The characters made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, but that is more realistic than a lot of post apocalyptic novels where everyone is a weapons and tactical savant. As stated in other reviews, the narrator plays the kids voices as very whiney and the dad..
Absolutely enjoyed this series. it was a fun journey with a great ending. Can’t wait to check out other books from this author.
to be honest ive read tons of lite rpg and theres tons of cursing. as far as i can see the only reason its an issue is cause the mc is a girl. its a fun story and i found it super entertaining.cant wait to see what they do with the world building.

Narration was horrible and turned me off immediately. If there was more to the story I may have been able to overlook that, but everything was so 1 dimensional. There is very little dialogue, and everything feels forced. The premise itself is interesting and I will give the author another try, but will have this..
