Well written, although a bit short and hurried. A twist on a typical LitRPG genre that was fun to read. Looking forward to more in the series.

This story is amazing
The only complaint I have is in hope you have a plan for the mc's stats and fighting style. He is all over the place and doesn't seem to have a plan/build. Kinda underwhelmed compared to his sister etc. I mean he has so many cool skills and items but doesn't seem to use them to their full potential. Mainly the soulskill for one. Why isn't he using it to absorb information from stuff? Like his sword or something? He could learn so much. And that's just one skill that he's ignoring.

I'm liking this book. This is the typical LtiRPG stories where the user ISN'T locked into a game, but locked into an actual planet that has game like features. It's a pretty nice change for the usual pace of being locked online in a game.
The overall plot of the story does seem to be a bit fast, but not too fast. The characters all top notch. They don't feel flat to me. Even the robot is awesome. There are a lot of quirky references from pop culture, so you'll have fun reading those as they pop up. Looking forward to reading the next book!

A few complaints:
-Epic loot found too eArly
-Obvious no one edited the book. At a minimum please have even a friend read book 2 and catch blatant missing words and obvious errors.

What I think of as "young adult writing"
The length to cost ratio is too low for me. The writing is at a level typically aimed at young adults. Despite this it was well written and quite enjoyable. Worth killing some time with if you came across it on ku.

Very quick read, good first book by the author
I enjoyed this book. I think the author is going to grow in his craft. I like how he blended D & D characters like the war forged into his book. I will definitely read the series.

Great
Great book. I would have liked it to be longer, and for the background to have been more gradually revealed, but it was still a great read. I can't wait for the next one.

Great story
New Twist on litrpg. Part science, part Thriller, litrpg. Plenty of twists and turns. Great ending and sets up bok 2.

Good Read.

Interesting execution. I liked it. Hoping to read the next one soon. Some grammar issues, but overall it wasn't too bad.

A lot of grammar errors, and it's doing a lot of telling.

Editing
Editing is important! Unfortunately to many great stories are reduced to good or decent stories from a lack of editing.
This is one of those books.
I recommend this book, but I want you in advance that it has a lot of errors.
