Last Save Dave #2
Last Save Dave 2: A LitRPG Adventure
The gods built the game. Dave is breaking it.
Dave’s team has become more than a party. They’re becoming a force.
They’re clearing worlds, gaining levels, collecting loot, and stockpiling talismans. But theirs isn’t the only game being played by the gods.
When Dave’s beloved Cynthia becomes the target of a murderous merchant determined to climb the leaderboard in the Marketplace of the One Thousand Worlds, Dave is forced into a fight that follows a whole different set of rules.
On the World Tree, the competition between champions is heating up as well. Powerful new allies join the group, while others try to dismantle it from within, including an old foe with a dangerous secret.
From prehistoric worlds filled with machine-gun-toting raptors to the deck of a jellyfish starship, Dave and Team Deranger must survive stranger worlds, deadlier bosses, evolving harvesters, and each other.
Because Dave can rewind death.
But he can’t rewind betrayal.
Continue the ride in this laugh-filled LitRPG series from bestseller Michael James Ploof, where victory is just one "Last Save" away! The series features a grizzled underdog MC with a wrench, unique time mechanics, steady power progression, crunchy stats, high-stakes party dynamics, and loads of legendary loot.
Perfect for fans of Discount Dan, The Perfect Run, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and An Unexpected Hero!

About the author
Michael James Ploof
73 books225 followers I spent my youth in the land of make believe. School was a bore, and growing up in the "Boonies" without cable television forced me to use my imagination. If I wasn't holed up in my bedroom playing with my vast collection of action figures, I could be found in the forest with a wooden sword or staff in hand, battling the forces of evil. As an 80's kid, I was raised on a healthy diet of movies like Star Wars, The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, Goonies, and endless other classic (but strange) movies.
As a reader, I enjoy books that take off right out of the gate, sweep me off my feet, and whisk me away on an epic adventure. As an author, I try to create books that do the same for my readers. I write fantasy, and I suppose that I still live in a land of make believe, except now I get to share the adventure with others.
I hope that you will join me on my next adventure, and together we can escape reality, if only for a time.
Yours in Magic,
Michael James Ploof

Another Banger
Dave definitely pissed me off a little, but I get it. If I was in his situation, I'd be conflicted with so many emotions. Do I save myself? My team? Cynthia? Can I save them all? Should I be pissed off at that person?
I still have trouble wrapping my head around the whole going back to Last Save and then that death loop...
Looking for to the third book!

The drama leveled up!
Review contains spoilers.
I really liked how the stakes were raised in this one. Loved meeting the other champions. It'll be interesting to see how they'll play a part in the next book.
My only complaint is the romance with Cynthia. Outside of loving Dave, she doesn't have much of a personality.
