Half Good/ Half Bad
The story started strong and had a good premise to it with a likable main character and an interesting take on the game system interaction. At the halfway mark of reading, the main character discovers joy of the birds and bees. That's OK. However, when they are dungeon diving together, they find a treasure S-Ranked sword worth a thousand gold, and the girl just asks if she can give it to her other girl partner.... "Sure, no problem." I couldn't take the dumbing down of the main character anymore and stopped reading.

If you like simping MC and HaremLit, this is for you. Fat guy from Earth is Isekai'd to Gaya, and every woman he comes into contact with him, and of course, he beds them. Make NO mistake it's a HAREM series. If you are into that garbage, then go ahead.
Lost 2 stars for not disclosing it's harem

Not bad but there is a big focus on a harem fantasy. would have been a better story without all the teenage boy sexual fantasy.

Nope
Will not read about a whiner, he could have brought all kinds of stuff to make his life easier, instead of survival equipment he brought a computer and all of his clothes, just really stupid , whiner mc. Hope he does not take after the writer!!

An okay idea
With a mediocre main character. But this falls apart with character interaction. It is absolutely ridiculous. A jumbled direction with sub par supporting characters is the nail in the coffin.

Very good read
I enjoyed reading this book very much and I recommend this book to anyone who likes LitRPG and progression types of books with lots of action.

Since I've really enjoyed Kos Play in the past I figured that I'd enjoy this book... I was correct 'cause the book was dynamite... and Will Collyer brought all the characters to life. In this story ARC Alex is offered a deal that he couldn't refuse, free room board while playing their computer game and receiving pay as well. He just has'ta leave earth behind and live on Gaia for the duration. This turned out to be a total bate and switch which was played on everyone who accepted the deal perpetrated by the creators of the game. Creators did it to increase their own fame and riches. As they were in reality broadcasting their own a reality game show. Alex is determined to not play their game, in fact he plans to break 'em.
Please grab the book to play the game... you won't be sorry...
Here's a quote that tickled me:
"I molded the throne to fit my body perfectly. For some reason that made it feel more comfortable than any foam that I’d ever encountered. I decided to call it Memory Stone."

Unfortunately I had to drop this after getting to about 70% done with the audiobook, which is sad because there was a lot of things I really liked about it.
First of all this is an extremely harem focused book once you get into it a bit, which wasn't obvious at all from the description of the book. The only indication here is the Harem tag which I missed. If it would have been more clear how much of the story revolves around seemingly most women (or other female entities) literally throwing them self at this overweight man with no prompting at all (besides maybe the continuous mentions of his well endowed package) then I would never have picked it up to begin with.
Sure this is largely on me for not looking closer at things like reviews talking about the harem focus, those that love harem-like stories that doesn't even try to make it plausible that they'd hook up will likely enjoy this though. Though with that said there is never anything explicit about the actual romance scenes, it's all just time skipped with maybe mentions like "doing it in every room of the house for multiple hours" so it's not an erotica harem book.
The things I did enjoy was the world in general, the world building was interesting and kept me wanting more details about how everything works, but then of course it immediately gets sidetracked by what I mentioned above over and over again. I won't go into specific details because of spoilers but I would definitely have kept reading this if the harem portions were simply not a thing which is just a general dislike for harems in general, though with that said I've gotten through harem type stories before because it wasn't as excessively ridiculous as it is in this book.

Good story but badly needs a new editor.
The story was good enough to keep me engaged despite regular spelling errors, grammatical problems, and using the wrong word. (Like “force” instead of “forge”. Or “really” instead of “ready”.). Sadly this happened a lot and carried throughout the entire book. I was hoping it would get better as the story went on. Definitely would benefit from a more thorough edit.
The editing mistakes keep pulling me out of the story, interrupting the flow, and irritating me but I want to know what happens enough to get back in. I’m not even going to try the audiobook because of them. It would probably make me demand a refund.
Some problems in consistency too. Like the fight in the Ogre village. The rules said it was unarmed. Then immediately the ogre has a club. I’m hoping the next two books are better because stuff like this can make a person decide it’s just not worth the investment.
All told, I like the story. It’s lighthearted and fun, albeit kind of ridiculous. No fat guy has that many girls interested in him when he’s got half the charisma of the largely ignored bard.
If you don’t mind or notice editing and word choice errors but enjoy LitRPG, you’ll probably enjoy this book.

Surprisingly interesting
The MC is an overweight guy who's not quite a ner-do-well. He kinda gets taken advantage when he receives an offer thats difficult to refuse, based on his parents recent death and his girlfriend leaving him. Still, he failed to read the eula (big mistake) and found out that he's now a player in an alien gameshow. Still, he's gets an AI hack that wasn't accounted for by the SIMP co which provides him with exceptional advantages. Still he gets on the wrong side of some NPC's, which causes him some grief and a town of non-humans is used to "motivate" him, to their detriment.
The MC definitely goes off half cocked, without learning the attched lessons, yet his AI helps him out, as well as his amorous handler. Still he's doing better than he did on earth. Since he decides to throw a monkey wrench in SIMPco's gears, he needs to up his game more that he actualls has yet he muddles through. He does gain gold, artifacts, a girlfriend, a wife, a patron goddess, a dungeon and an offspring. He also gains some stiff opposition. All told, this is a pretty interesting story with many unexpected twists and turns.

2.5 stars
This book was all over the place. Just pure chaos that makes very little sense. I really wanted to like the MC, but he made it very difficult. I spent most of the book calling him an idiot who was either missing or deliberately ignoring the obvious solutions.
The MC gains an internal companion that he names “Pi,” but should have been called DEM for Deus Ex Machina. “I need a new power.” “Here you go.” “I want to find treasure.” “Here you go.” The magic system makes no sense and everything just works because he wants it to. Except when it doesn’t because the plot needs to add drama.
Then the book turns into a semi-harem. I don’t mind a good harem story, but this wasn’t one of those. The author very nearly put the NTR into the “Non-traditional Relationships” Jealousy and hurt feelings abound.
Finally, the way the book ended was just annoying. I was ready to give the book 2 stars, but there is a small chance that I might read the second one. Very small. After I’ve read everything else in my backlog and have forgotten how annoyed I was by this one.

not bad, but feels all over the place.
This book is…. Alright. The premise is interesting, but execution has flaws. The attempts at humor, with the SIMP games, and other jokes fall flat to me. The constant describing animals as combinations of two earth animals gets old real fast. The MC isn’t supposed to be smart, that being part of the premise, but even a normal person would drink a stat increasing potion when they get it, instead of days (weeks? Time passes oddly in the book) later.
It also is frustrating how repetitive it gets with the MC being the only one able to speak every language, and that being the only thing that keeps 95% of beings he talks to from attacking him.
When I finished the book, it all felt rushed, and scattered. I’m on the fence about picking up book two, because I do like the premise, and there are some ‘mysteries’ I’d like to know what the author had planned.

Audio: Only thing good in this book.
Story:Do we really need so much excrement talk?!?! Who wrote this, a 5 YO? Also "let's use poor people for entertainment" and "let's use females for sexual gratification, really? SUPER medieval mentality. Also the female/male divisions is sexist and prejudiced. There is SO much wrong with this book. An for goodness sake, can someone PLEASE kill the Isa psycho character?!?!?! She is NOT sexy at all, she is a psycho pushy stalker money hungry selfish and a sex fiend. What is up with the characters on this book?!?!?! Sex dialogue....cringe worthy. Overall dialog, juvenile! Maybe the author is an immature teen? Who knows, just not for me. These character are stupid, annoying and immature. Aren't they supposed to be adults? Onto my next adventure, Happy Readings!

This book has a strong start and I was originally enthusiastic but this book is really just a harem fantasy in a litrpg trenchcoat. At first I thought it was just the authors fantasies leaking in, then it kept happening. The book doesn't even have the decency to tell ya what you're in for either and that really ticks me off
I cannot fathom how this book has been rated so highly, the entire time I read this it was just mediocre enough that I kept reading but full of what must be tha authors fetish. I don't mind that in and of itself but the book doesn't even have the decency of having smut it just constantly alludes to it while I just came here to read a lit rpg that sounded like it'd be about a loser being forced to turn his life around.
I'd be honestly offended if I'd spent money on it rather than borrowing the book from Kindle unlimited

Start Menu: New Game is the first book in this series, and while it's a fairly decent story, it really needs some decent proofreading. There's lots of minor errors that cause the story to stumble in various places. The most significant of which is near the end when it's stated that the gremlins are 1/16 size, then almost immediately, we find out that they are 1.5 feet tall. (that doesn't qualify as 1/16 size, unless the gremlins are supposed to be 22.5 feet tall at full scale. Those quibbles aside though, the story was really good, and I'd really like to read more in this series.

Fun, quirky, just the right amount of snark..
The good, The premise of this book was unique and the world was interesting and beautifully described. The characters are all well written, And I found it very easy to like them.
The bad, The book has numerous spelling errors, dozens of missing words or phrases, as if the author was in a hurry to write and was unable to type as fast as they were thinking. It could do with a good read-through from an Editor.
I would have given it five stars except for all of the errors and missing words that kept pulling me out of the flow of the book which I read through in a single sitting.

Disjointed emotions, too much sex.
It had an interesting idea, but the author decided to focus on implausible and numerous sexual encounters instead of the RPG itself. The characters were fluctuating in the depth of their emotions or if they had any emotions. Many times the main character had no emotions when he should, or went through with actions without thought. The writing on many of the fight scenes were blocky. There is very little RPG about this book, and less action. The only thing The author seemed to care about and went into detail about is how many implausible sexual encounters went on with this character. Kind of a boring book.

3 stars - 1 stars for surprise harem. DNF.
Decent story that unfortunately walks across some of my pet peeves. If you like stories where the MCs agency is constantly undermined by overly meddlesome watchers, if you like jealous 8 sided love triangle harems with unhealthy character dynamics, MCs with low self esteem, inconsistent narratives that don't make sense ...
Eventually I broke my immersion one too many times and just had to stop. Well written, though. Just not my thing. I wouldn't have read/reviewed it at all if you put a girl with big boobs on the cover. Way to break the social contract.

A bit unpolished but overall good and promising
While there were some grammar/formatting issues, they weren't too frequent. Overall it had an engaging plot and interesting character dynamics. There is one thing I feel the second book really needs to address though. SPOILERS: He needs to have a serious discussion with Lia about her running into danger without thinking for even a second. Every time something bad happens to her its bc she threw herself into a terrible situation she didn't need to.

Confused on how I feel about this book
On one hand, the characters are quite entertaining, especially Pi. On the other hand, there are so many spelling errors and grammatical mistakes it was painful and always pulled me out of the story to figure this out. The worst is toward the end when the author couldn't keep track of the male and female title for the ogres. Also... Harems... Really?
The storyline itself is a fascinating blend of comedic misunderstanding and evil manipulation. I enjoyed the actual story.

a book on ADD
Creative concept of contract with gamers and ‘fulfilling’ it. For those who can’t handle grammatical errors this is not your book. The book started with some suspense but one town later it was replaced with equal rights for non humans, party politics, quests for gods, and other similar things that quickly lost my interest. It feels like reading ADD where there is no focus. Like ooh drama of an NPC then 15 chapters with tangents before focusing back. MC has no goals or objectives and the book reflects that random aimless wandering.

Started off okay, but then got slappy and beyond stupid. Also, the harem garbage makes me bored and suits a young teenager only. Also, it's hard to invest in characters that are so shallow and stupid that you want to slap the writer. As of writing this, I'm 2/3rds done and on the fence of just DNF'ing the dang book. You really-really hate to waste time on prenatal driveled writing like this. I gave it 2 stars as it started out somewhat okay. IF I finish it, then this might change ... but I suspect the rating will only go down.
November 14, 2025
This is quite the poor book.
My biggest gripe is with the MC even if ALL the characters are one dimensional.
MC is really just a doormat and lets everyone roll over him. On top of that he’s a massive simp and somehow attracts almost every single woman he gets in contact with, despite being fat and not good looking. Just don’t get it.
I’m tempted to read the second because the story is interesting but writing this out just made me realize I don’t want to suffer through more of this MCs idiocy.

Fat, lazy not very bright MC.
For some reason, women like to throw themselves at him.
Why. Why?! WHY?
It's a lot of WTF.
The plot itself seems to be to react to whatever is in front of them. No good ideas, no overarching goals, no interesting system - just a 'I can do whatever spell you can conceive of' which is only really limited because the MC has NO creativity. At all.
The secondary characters (like his healer love interest) are... stupid. Yes, charge into battle healer. First dungeon? Yes. Don't display any survival instincts. Excellent.
Gave up halfway through the book.

Good Story, Needs Editiny
The story is intriguing if a bit frustrating at times, and my only real complaint is that it needs to be professionally edited. There were frequent misspellings, letter skips, sudden name changes, and altogether it definitely jolted me out of the story with how extreme some of it was. I'll definitely read the next book, but I really hope the author invests in professional editing.

This novel has good a good premise driving the plot, good characters, and an interesting and inventive take on magic and atifacts. However, it is riddled with so many instances of missing words, duplicated words, wrong word choices (many from picking the wrong homophone), and misspellings that I deducted stars from the rating I would normally give.
It could stand a good editor to fix its errors.

MC can bang anything that moves, falls in love with town bike.
Never struggles with anything after leaving the first town.
Artifacts are rare? Nah here's 5, quick hand them out to endear town bike to you.
I feel like this book was written by someone in their late teens or very early 20's. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. Just not very good. The author could get better with experience. I have to agree with others though, badly needed the harem tag.

Just lost it with the ending
Lots of 1st books have tragic cliff hanger endings and that's fine but this one made no sense. I loved the first part of this book. The characters were great and the story was fun and exciting even laugh out loud funny at moments, if not a little chaotic. It slowly starts to get darker then finally takes a tragic turn with a heart-rending cliff hanger ending that did not fit the overall theme of the book.

Good book, had enough of the BS
I have had it with these assholes listing 2 books or more in a series only to find they are liars.
Do not say you have 2 books if I can not get 2 books.
Had one a few months ago said there were 3 books, only to be a lie and only one.
Stop telling lies.
Will not bother with this author again.

ahhh
So so not bad, not exceptional in the light RPG genre definitely has a hunger games vibe character building using Covid I at least assume that was the reference I’m assuming at least due to the timeline , though the actual condition that killed his parents were never directly stated .
