I enjoyed reading it, however I would *not* hold this up as a paragon of the genre. It can be pedantic, and there isn’t a whole lot of in depth foreshadowing.
An entertaining OP MC apocalypse system LITRPG book. The MC is massively over powered but the way the author writes the character makes it an entertaining read rather than just power creep over the top action. The MCs morals and actions make him an interesting protagonist. There was a small amount of over-repetition, where the MC does something, then it gets described to another person who then relates it again to a third party. It felt a trifle redundant and over-explainy in a few places.
One thing that did annoy me slightly though, when Ivor and Zed talk internally the text is in italics which is fine but the descriptive text is also in italics which annoyed me. (For example: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘡𝘦𝘥?” 𝘐𝘷𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥. “𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘷𝘰𝘳,” 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘈𝘐 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥.")
It just felt out of place having the descriptive text in italics as well. This is only a minor grumble in an otherwise outstandingly entertaining read.
I like the pacing and character development. I hate when the MC has random wild deviations in behavior, especially when older, and this MC is consistent. The world building is top notch as is the story. Definitely a series you can read multiple times. And to top it off the cover art not only relates to the story but is fantastic as well. Kudos to both the author and artist on excellent work. Highly recommended.
LitRPG with a likeable hero who while continuing to increase levels does so with grace and charm.
As this is the third book in the series, Ivor (the main protagonist) continues to build his home world while this episode focuses more on his adventures with his trading partners.
New worlds, skills and monsters with ongoing political matters to deal with make this a five rather than four star book.
Well that was pretty well written in my opinion. Couple of mistakes that I will post on Goodreads. Some action and some political action. While I'm not looking forward to the school legacy that will undoubtedly start off book four, I did enjoy the exploration of the lost planet and look forward to more of that and more dungeon experiences.
The series so far has kept me interested and wanting more. You get to read about the new worlds and interactions with new people. The MC is OP but is still growing in ability. Also the MC is getting more of the life he wanted and couldn’t have before integration. Hope to see more of these worlds and MC for a long time to come.
Ivor continues building his empire and increasing his already ridiculous stats , at least the explanation for Ivors growth has been logical and consistent from book one , he is an interesting character thrown into interesting situations, looking forward to book four.
Exploration book 1-3 is awesome! Most books have someone that is learning to fight as they level, but our hero Ivor worked for 40 years contracting with the CIA before the system came, so the system put him through a special tutorial and grow he did in amazing ways! Great action and great story! You’ll love it!
This series has been phenomenal! This author weaves the reader through an incredible story as the main character touches on many lives with a quiet honor and dignity! The action and world building are captivating as you immerse yourself into your minds eye!
Finished and already needing my next fix. I have enjoyed this series. Every book has been a good read leaving me wanting the next. Almost hate that I came in on the beginning of the series and can't binge read them.
The next books cannot come quick enough. The main character it’s so OP and it works. I love the growth of the character, and I am looking forward to the next chapter.
