Traclaon Armageddon #2
Traitor GIT: A LitRPG Adventure
Two years have passed, which Eric has spent building up his soul strength and his connections.
Another pivot point is fast approaching and Eric will not allow HC#004 to be claimed by anyone but humanity. What happened last time would not occur this time.
To that he will need to infiltrate Traitor GIT’s ship and then eliminate him once HC#004 is formally discovered. Given the relative differences in their soul strength that will be an arduous task, but armed with his future knowledge Eric is confident that he will find a way.
Beyond that imperative, there are other events and opportunities for him to exploit. There is a promise to Fiona, three criminal gangs to destroy and some boons to be collected with no one being any the wiser.
He is the reborn and preserving that secret is more important than any one objective. He must remain ever vigilant because while he was lucky with Francis the aliens actively searching for him will be far less forgiving.
Traitor GIT is the second book in an Epic LitRPG series from Alex Kozlowski, the bestselling author of Alpha Physics. The series follows Eric’s progression from nothing to a man who uses future-knowledge to transform humanity and to grow stronger himself until he can challenge the most powerful of intergalactic enemies.

About the author
Alex Kozlowski
17 books100 followersAlex first fell in love with both computer games and writing when he was on a scholarship completing a Bachelor of Science majoring in Physics. After graduating and getting a job, I put the whole being a novelist to the side while that pesky thing called life got in the way.
A career in banking project managing the delivery of complicated quantitative applications resulted. Very stereotypical;
• Boring job as a banker - tick,
• Suburban home - tick
• Three kids - tick
• Two dogs - tick
• You get the point.
A little thing called a global pandemic then came along and gave Alex a chance to return to his dream of becoming a writer. Having recently read a variety of LITRPG books, it was a genre that he was excited to explore in order to create a world that readers could immerse themselves into. With the familiarity of the gaming world gained from playing WOW, Skyrim, Fallout amongst others, there is simple joy in creating an imaginative magic filled world that is at everyone’s fingertips. In his writing, Alex aims to capture the feeling that he loves of being able to put yourself into a gaming world, develop your character and exploit the rules to the fullest.

GIT on out of here with your midscene cliffhanger ending
Automatic one star rating for ending the book in the middle of a cliffhanger scene. Not cool, man, not cool.

I believe that authors and their audience have an implicit contract. The audience will suspend disbelief to the level needed to enjoy a story and trust that the author will constrain their stories in ways that don’t constantly change the underlying rules and characters.
Unfortunately this author has chosen to go with “I can do whatever I want, whenever I want” and throws in a brutal Deus Ex Machina cliffhanger ending that completely rewrites the world and the plot going forward.
It certainly doesn’t help that the story up to that point was aimless, filled with copyedit/proofreading problems, and somewhat boring, cruising to a 2-3 star review, and was going to be mildly disappointing after a good first book. But I have no interest in continuing to read something where this can happen whenever it’s convenient.

Not what I was hoping for.
After the first book, we news really hoping things would kick off in this one and we’d get some nice power progression and maybe a bit more timeline movement. Also despite the name leading you to think that the focus of the book would be about GIT, we only actually get involved with him at all in the last 20 percent of the book. Then, spoilers ahead
There’s a big twist at the end that I feel was totally unnecessary and really just bugs me. Eric is already facing seemingly insurmountable odds, and now you have to stack the deck higher? Seems like a petty grab for more tension.

Poorly written and a big disappointment after Book 1
I really enjoyed Book 1 (4 or 5 stars) and was looking forward to this release. This however needs some serious editing and revising and was really disappointing.
The character floats around, nothing really happens, the main premise of the story is in the last 20% of the book and the last few pages are just ridiculously poor in execution and ideas and very unrealistic. The author could have done far better if they wanted a bigger risk to the main character.
It is such a shame as Book 1 had a great premise. Book 2 just a soul suck of your time. I won’t be bothering with Book 3.

Book two
While the story is interesting it badly needs some serious editing. I know that I didn't find all the problems. I did find 19 though and listed them on Goodreads.
You also have areas later in the book were information is repeated in the very next line.
If you're able to ignore this host of problems the story itself is interesting, but it took me four days to get through a book that would normally take a day and a half for me to read.
3.5/10

DISSATISFACTION
I have been let down by books before but wow this was an epic failure. I only finished it to see what happened. Something like 80% of this book if filler and not needed. I am taking this off my lists and i will not be reading anymore.

Really horrible blending
You know those authors that just like to beat the crap out of their protagonist? No matter what the character does, they always screw them over? This is probably one of the worst cases I've ever seen.

Much worse than the first
The first book was outstanding, and I was happy to start the second book, but the second book went down hill rapidly. Then I got to the end, and the conclusion was so bad I won't be continuing.

Read
June 4, 2025While I agree to some criticisms posted here (e.g. some "filler" passages in the middle of the book that are not truly helping the world building, cliffhanger ending), the book is amazing.
Beyond the classical qualities of a great story (fascinating setting, interesting characters with relateable motivations, challenging story arc, ...), this story (and the previous one) just keep tickling my psyche around what could be next. Its been years since I read the story first - but I keep coming back to check if there is a sequel somewhere on the horizon. And to me that is one of the greatest signs of exceptional work - thank you for this Alex!

Amazing
Wow - what an amazing story line. It’s just a joy to read. The reborn is such an interesting character, with so many depths to explore in a fast flowing easy bro read story. One of the authors best works.

Nice addition.
Wow, that reveal at the end was... surprising. Not quite sure how I feel about it just yet. We'll have to wait and see. But, like I said, it's a good addition to the series. It's worth reading.

grrr
It’s good. Regressor shenanigans done well, with a hefty dose of SF and a gloss of cultivation.
But.
PROOFREADING!!!! So. Many. Mistakes. Stuff that I believe should have been caught.
I’m going to pre-order the next one. I like the authors work. But this is sloppy.

Great book!
Great Book!
Couldn't put it down from first to last page. The ending reveal was well done and is adding a whole new level to the story I think. Can't wait to see what the author brings in next!

to much on the love story
I really want to give five stars but it took almost to the end of the story before we got to traitor git. I gave up twice but was close enough I finished it. Please push the love story to the back and actually focus on the reborn stuff.

great story, needs proofreading
Totally sucked into the story, great concept. Running into a misplaced, duplicate or misspelled word every couple pages though is breaking the flow of reading for me.

Ok but not great
A bit plodding at times, but the world is interesting. I hope the next book is a bit more interesting

intricate
Great read. Really cool mechanics and it’s satisfying how everything ties together from little things mentioned. Excited for more of this

A great continuation of the first book. I enjoy the cloak and dagger, though it does have some rough edges.

The MC and co. having to to hide every single thing he does just wasn't fun for me.

These books are so fun, problematic elements aside. While I wish the main character could cut loose and become a powerhouse, the tension of having to sneak around and not arouse suspicion while preventing some of the biggest catastrophes of the past is very compelling. I like that there was very little of the weird breaker nonsense in this book, and that Guidance was a bit less of a presence here. In general I really like the scheming and alternate history aspects of the novel, which is where this book shines.
The ending has a bit worried about how the story will continue. The odds were already so overwhelmingly against our main character I don't see why we needed the addition of new major obstacles, but I will trust in the author to be going somewhere with this.
