The former gas station clerk has risen to the challenges of the game and together with Jessica, a powerful archer, they are staying ahead of the ever-more powerful mobs.It’s not only monsters and dungeon crawls that Mike and his growing team have to humans are a danger too. Given a vicious struggle for survival and the appearance of powers that allow individuals to dominate other people, it’s no wonder that those who would try to stick to a moral path have to be constantly on guard. A new and rapidly growing cult is one such threat; can Mike discover who is behind it?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Everything you want in an apocalypse LitRPG"Royal Road reviewer.
This second book was a little rough. The character Allan, kept having his name changed to Alex and then back again several times, it was pretty confusing. Also, the plot was kind of derpy, like the main villain, the leader of the religious cult, we never even got to see them, they what, died off page? Kind of a let down for me. And Lucas and Mike giving up on finding their relatives was a bit confusing. I mean, they are already 2 for 2 in finding Mike and Allan's family alive and well, why assume that your family is dead? Sure they are in a more dangerous neighborhood, but you don't know for sure.
The second book is great, following up right where it left off in book 1. There is lot of growth, in terms of levels and skills and even team size. The new additions slot in seamlessly and the coordination of the team goes up as they face more adversities. I really liked the rational approach that the team took for what to do next after the farm was burnt down.
Bad math, little character development, many grammar mistakes, and the obligatory "religion=bad" kindle writers see as almost mandatory. Ill have to be real desperate to read the next one. The only good thing I can say is since it was on kindle, at least I didn't pay for it.
Excellent read! Well written with excellent transition into and development of dungeon world and mechanics. Good character mix and development. Nice twisty plot line.
