About the author
Alex Keys
4 books16 followersI enjoy reading and writing LitRPG. My debut series is Loop Bound available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
Loop Bound is planned for 10 books total. As a reader of LitRPG I understand the urge to binge. Heck, I am almost tempted to not start a series unless it has 3-5 books in it. With that in mind, I aim for short rapid release windows.

It was good but had issues
I have already done a review with the first book. I may be a little harsh on the star rating but this is a new author and there were issues with the book. Otherwise the book was a good read with all being said. This is why I gave a 3 star rating. Lack of true originality. Kindle is deluged with tons of litrpg that regurgitate the same thing over and over. Although this novel was a fun read, it regurgitated the same old thing. Most authors seem to think that they must religiously follow game mechanics and that is the limiting factor since those game mechanics are their due to technology and time constraints. Armor slot on a human than can.literallly wear anyrhing? Come on! A bunch of little things that drive absurdity. Break the mold. Be truly creative.

Excellent progression fantasy built on great characters and world building
This series really surprised me. It wasn't a time loop series but a unique progression idea. And then I read more. The characters and world building are what carry it. Both are top notch and even the Deus Ex Machinas seem earned. A bit like Defiance of the Fall but with much better pacing and character work, just an excellent series. And the author is doing something really interesting with Mira and leaving you not entirely sure that Logan is special or if Mira is so unique she is powering up Logan and her luck is why he is special. Extremely funny at times as well. This is one I'll be reading at royal road with excitement.

Great continuation as we finish the Tutorial arc. I thought the resolution of the Invasion wasn't amazing and felt a little abbreviated, but overall, I'm curious to see what the wider universe brings to bear.
Also, Mira continues to be the best part of the story, but the author needs to chill with the food fetish. Between that and the weird need to constantly point out her snoring and drooling in her sleep, she's moving uncomfortably close to useless haremlit-girl twit territory. Don't ruin a good thing.

Review
A lot of book series start to bog down in the story or slow to a glacial pace. Those who can keep up the pace usually grow to fast and quickly become boring and predictable.
This book series even in the 4th book the main characters continue to grow but the story is still engaging, moving, and funny in good proportion. I don't remember the last time I have read a series that has been able to keep me just as invested as the first book.
Definitely worth the read.

Another awesome entry
Hot damn this book was on fire. It was real blast and definitely carried the torch of the series well. A real bonfire of an ending!
Seriously though I have been looking forward to this book for a month since I came across the series and it did not disappoint!

Love this series.
Four books in and this series is one of my favourite series. Regardless of genre. The story is so captivating and incredibly well written and edited. But the star of this series are the characters. Deep, nuanced, funny, lovable, and full of personality. Mira might just be my favourite character ever. I’m just sad there’s no fifth book yet.

So good
Can't wait to see what Logan and Mira get up to in the greater universe 😁
This series is so good.
Great world building and growing characters.
I might take off half a star for too much dungeon grinding but it didn't spoil the book, just slowed it down in the middle.
Highly recommended.

great story
I do really appreciate the books and the story great work. And if you do read the reviews. I really wish if you toon down the sadistic interactions between Logan and aly. It’s enough already keeping up with the MC and Mira. Other than that it’s really great story. Thanks

Outstanding
I'm a big fan of progression and litrpg, but a lot of the time the stories suffer from the focus of the stat sheets. This story and this book doesn't suffer from that. It's very very good.

first 4 books are great
After finishing the first 4 books I keep thinking this is what defiance of the fall should have been. Great stories, good characters, plenty of humor, tragedy and action.
Hopefully there will be more books.

Got all the way to the battle at the end and finally quit. I'm tired of wasting time reading about someone who doesn't want to use his own power. The moral quandries are fun in book one, while fighting for your planet's existence they are ridiculous.

one of my favorite series
I love the character growth. Logan never has it easy but he has great friends and the Emmy goes to Mira by far my favorite character she is hilarious and I can’t imagine the book without her.

A New Reflection book four of the Loop Bound series, is an ebook I borrowed through Kindle Unlimited (KU). This book spent more time and attention with building allies and strengthening relationships, but there was no slacking on the action and tension.

This book was more of the same
The book was a bit of a filler to finish the time on earth and not all that great but it is the 4th book so might as well try it...

ok
I liked some parts of it way more than others. Basically, I was too easily distracted for large parts.
I may be done with this series.

Great story
Fantastic story. It's just about everything I could ask for in a litrpg apocalypse and then some story, and doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.

Excellent world crafting and storytelling
Enjoyable read with plenty of action, but still good character development and storytelling. Can't wait to read more of Alex's work.

Great Stuff
This series of the System takeover and our guy getting a trait that resets every few levels was fantastic. I guess he’ll be leaving Earth if this series continues.
