Merchant System: Growing Stronger While Getting Rich-Book 1
Money is Power! -Even in a world where gods walk amongst men, where demons roam free, and where dragons soar high- Money is a genuine power. Equipped with the power to become the best merchant, our hero ventures forth in an adventure unlike any other.
Jacob Rolfe's life took a turn for the worse after being abandoned at a very young age. Persecuted by his home village and cursed by misfortune, the only fortunate turn in his melancholic existence appeared when he became a slave to a noble house. Good things didn't last for Jacob, though. One fateful day– his short, sad life ended at the tender age of 14. But even death wasn't the end of it for him. Awakening, Jacob feels just the same as ever, except for one minor change...

The author has potential; however, sadly, they have no idea of tense. An editor is desperately needed. I had to stop just a couple chapters in as the flopping around of the tense was more than I could handle.
Hopefully, this author edits and updates. I will happily try again if that occurs.

A very good book
I was hesitant to read this after some of the other reviews but I think its a really good book and cannot wait for the next one. Strangely it was a little to fast paced and could use some more details and practice with his powers but the charictor and gamelit portions were just about perfect.

Good
The main character is op which I like the book was overall pretty good. There were a few errors but I highly recommend it if you want a short read and a book that is fast passed. I just hope the author makes another of these books.

Better
Better than most of genre in proofreading and main character's ethics. However, unusually short. Felt like story was cut short.

Interesting read. The author writes about a world where your life is a video game. I think the author did of good job of doing this; but the ending needs work.

To be perfectly honest, this book stinks.
It was a fairly decent premise, but the book was chalk so full of grammar errors, (missing prepositions, wrong pronouns, switching between first and third person narration (often in the same sentence)), that it became difficult to work my way through this book. I had to fight to stay awake, falling asleep several times due to the shear amount of tediously repetitive word choice.
I'm firmly of the opinion that the author is either not a native English speaker, or a teenager with piss poor grades in grammar school. (this is a good time to mention beta and proof readers, all authors should use them).
If you want a nice clean story with lots of great things happening, and lots of leveling up, then this book won't fit the bill unless you ignore all the grammar errors, and the bad word choice. If you can get past those two major issues, you just might be able to enjoy this book, but I sure couldn't do it.
If the author gets the story professionally edited, and proofread, it just might make for an excellent story that could be thoroughly enjoyed by most (if not all) LitRPG fans.
