Skill Eater 2: A LitRPG Adventure

Rate this book
Edge will conquer the Savage Garden or die trying.
While Edge was returning from his latest adventure, Puppet Town received a quest from the System that will either help the settlement survive or seal its fate.

If they can clear a deadly dungeon packed to the brim with powerful monsters and defeat the boss lurking in the final chamber, the settlement can start producing cores for its residents, boosting their odds overcoming the ordeals to come.

It won’t be easy. A bloodthirsty gang known as the Crimson Claws received the quest too. Edge and his friends will find themselves locked in a race against time—forced to battle elite predators of both the monstrous and human variety as they look for a way to take down the stage-three boss looming in the distance.

Book 2 of an action packed LitRPG adventure set in a world where artifacts known as Cores let their bearers wield the planet’s magic, and where Skills grant superhuman abilities and kaiju roam the wilds. It's perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

Best! Evarrr! Friggen! AwesomeSauce...

Ohhhh! Myyy! Best! Book! Evarrr! And if you can't tell I friggen Loved the book!!! Edge Vasher was an awesome MC and as his story continues, he levels. There is nothing I like better than all the action that happens when fighting monsters, whether it's ranged attacks, frenetic melee, or better yet dungeon diving. Edge along with his team are doin just that, and hitting even higher leveled monsters to gain greater rewards! When they heard about the Savage Garden an apt name for the Dungeon that's never been conquered, they decided to help! With a lot of planning, 6 teams marched on to challenge the Savage Garden. Things went pear-shaped very quickly however and Edge finds him alone in a very, very dangerous dungeon. His only chance of survival is to trust in Skill Eater, and the other spells he's acquired!
And get this his skills are seemingly aware/sentient once Edge discovered that he makes them his best buds. Relying on them to help him get stronger and survive! I love this idea! Treat your spells well, and they'll in turn treat you right!

Here's a couple of quotes that tickled me:

“Well, I’ll be... It’s chibi me.”...“You can understand what I’m saying?” The skill avatar nodded, then resumed dancing. After that, it refused to respond to anything other than Chibime."

"...he would have judged the intensity of this moment to be ten out of ten. It grew to eleven."

not a bad book, but I think some of the powers are lame.

Not a bad book, just wish the power progression was a little bit faster. The MC likable, but not very dynamic, more like a cookie cutter personality. I personally don’t think the powers and skills. The character has received so far are very interesting. And don’t let me go into the fact that he’s talking to his skills. The MC is more timid than courageous. Maybe that’s because he’s growing into his abilities, I don’t know for sure. Just wish the MC would wander on his own instead of being static in the same place. Will read the next book.

not bad

I really wanted to give 5 stars. However, the amount of internal dialogue was overwhelming.
The reputation of the same idea over and over. Is too much. He reminded me with the school days. When we needed to write a paragraph of certain count of words and we run out of ideas. We repeat the same idea different words which the author didn’t even do. At different situations. I hope that he read the review and change that matter. I would really appreciate it. And get to enjoy the book with out skipping.

Solid Litrpg

This book is well-constructed with a great plot, a very interesting world, and solid characters to back it all up. The writing has the usual issues you’d find in the genre (opposite of the show-don’t-tell philosophy and overexplaining/lack of faith in readers’ memory for details chief among them) but to a very manageable degree. I found the series gripping and a nice escape.

Great Series!

I am really enjoying this series! Thank you for the recap. It had been more than a minute since I had read book 1 and I was a little confused about what was going on. Once I got my bearings, I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and I am totally looking forward to reading book 3!

Great second book

Another enjoyable read.
Magnus really piles the pressure on our hero and I really struggled to put this down.
Much to my sleepless pain :)
Stop reading my review and grab the book!

Even better than the 1st book

Not perfect but certainly better than the first book. Edge is much more comfortable in his skin and actually knows what he’s doing. The world building is pretty good and the supporting character are good as well.

A strong book 2

When I started this series I expected it to be an overpowered MC fantasy, but instead the main character feels like an underdog clawing their way up. It is delightful. The world of Ord keeps getting more complex and I can't wait to learn more about it

Good internal logic and not overpowered MC

Edge starts out on the lower side of his rank and works his way up the hard way. Monsters criminals and world building

book could be half as long if the it didn't spend 5 mi minutes describing a skill that is used often and with little change. I do enjoy the magic system and the story is fairly basic for the genre.

Progression *chefs kiss*

Love a story of progression with struggles! Not too dark that makes it hard to read but with enough conflict and nail biting moments to keep you engaged.
