Skeleton in Space #1
Histaff
Lots of broken bones, a dim-witted RPG system, and a dash of magic; Skeleton in Space.
Douglas is a simple summoned skeleton, formed from an old battlefield when some ancient fossil of a necromancer raised him for a nefarious purpose.
His memories are a bit foggy, but who cares about remembering when there is walking to be done! Or stabbing cows! Douglas loves life, the simple joy of doing repetitive tasks - like battering down a large tower door - is all that's needed to keep his clacking bones satisfied.
But just after he completed his most recent task, the wizard he was fighting took out a weird crystal… and now there are stars everywhere. Will the floating, freezing skeleton find out what happened? Or will that wrecked spaceship on a collision path be the last thing going through his empty skull?
Come join Douglas the magical skeleton as he tries to live a fulfilling life in a sci-fi universe!

This is an odd one, but I think I want more
So this one is an outlier for the genre but intriguing...
Non human MC: check
Amoral MC: check
Asexual MC: check
Tolal lack of epic plot: check
Takes place in space: check
MC dumb as a box of bone chips but still strangely compelling: check
It's a bit like a cross of Boxy Morning wood, and the murderbot, with a humor level smack in the middle.
I finished up thinking what the heck did I just finish reading, but still wanting more - so 4 stars.

Notes:
Because I like another series by the author, I was happy to get the audiobook for this story. I should have checked who the narrator was before I hit the 'buy' button.
I like the idea of a skeleton becoming more sentient & gaining strength. Unfortunately, the story is told in a lopsided tell format and not enough show. Things that should have been funny were annoying. The female character was like a brainless, spoiled two year old.
It did not help that I am not a fan of the narrator and that was an immediate turn off.

Skip It
The premise is engaging, but the execution is terrible. The story is written as a slow burn that fizzles into nothing.
The first chapter follows the cover blurb, but it takes half the book to reach the cover image, and nothing keeps happening. Two thirds of the way in I realized that it was going nowhere. And then it went nowhere, ending by killing off almost every character that could have salvaged this waste of time.
The book is too long. Don't read it.

This is a very interesting story. On one hand, it takes a fresh look at the genre with very little overlap to other series. On the other hand, it is an extremely convoluted story, with not a lot happening whilst very busy - kinda like office work on a Friday afternoon.
The Gamelit elements are captivating but the "two MC's" are slightly off-putting for different and separate reasons.
I will be trying the next book in the story to see where it goes as the author did a great job of capturing the imagination with his last 4 chapters or so.

Note: I listened to the audio book but that isn't currently listed on Goodreads.com.
Really 3.5 but Goodreads doesn't allow half points.
So a necromancer raises an undead army to attack another magic user. That magic user flees using teleportation to which Douglas, the skeleton, is too close resulting in Douglas floating through space. One of the best things about this book is how the author actually thought about and portrayed his MC. After all, what does a low level skeleton know about the passage of time. For all Douglas knows he floated through space for thousands of years but eventually Douglas is hit by a passing spaceship. One thing leads to another and Douglas ends up with a spoiled rich (but smart) princess type following him around while he battles biological warfare monsters and levels up.
What is good about this story is that, almost by definition a LitRPG setting is interesting, so adding story lines like abusive real world parents, etc. is generally unnecessary and often poorly done. None of that here. The author does a good job envisioning and communicating his characters and world. However, the resolution leaves a bit to be desired. The author resolves a couple of story lines and starts a couple more at the end of this book. What the author doesn't do is resolve the MC's story. Plus the stories started outweigh the ones ended. I will, if the opportunity presents itself, read the next book in this series. I'm just saddened by the fact that I will be doing that more because I want to figure out just what story the author is attempting to tell rather than because the author told a good story in book 1.
Bottom line, worth the read, particularly for a LitRPG, but not perfect and especially lacking a satisfactory conclusion.

Weird but you just keep reading. ......
A really strange read. A skeleton raised as part of an undead army by a necromancer is transported onto a planet when the necromancer and his counterpart fight. Watch as he starts to assemble himself from the bone fragments flying around. All the while he is gaining points in a weird, almost computer like, game. Learning new skills, new levels of power and upping his status. When he takes a podcast to an infected space station he finds strange beasts, good and a woman in crypto pod. Watch as they both grow, learn and move up in power. Only for her to discover that she is dead - her living brain locked in a glass jar whilst her ascended body snacks on souls.
Not really being into role playing games I must admit that i found this a really strange but hypnotic read.

I was surprised by just how much this made me laugh, and it was certainly an original spin on litRPG. Good stuff within the genre :)

The book is, "okay". If you're bored and like light litrpg, this book might keep you entertained while you wait for a different one. Otherwise, it's not really that great.
The basic idea is nice, the execution not as much. There's a bunch of problems with the story which frankly just get kind of frustrating over time. Seeing the skeleton piece itself together over several pages might be okay once but having it as a running theme throughout the book quickly burnt me out.
While the grammar is decent, the syntax at times leaves a lot to be wanting. Couple this with the author seemingly having hit Thesaurus with a sledgehammer and reading this occasionally becomes a bit of a chore.
Further, the stats don't really make sense. For example, the Skeleton MC gets a pretty damn high IQ score. Yet acts and behaves like a complete moron. You could argue he "simply lacks knowledge" but he behaves stupid way beyond that. Add to this that he's thinking incredibly slowly and making stupid choices even when he should very much know better.
The story also loves to "yank the reader's chain". At one point the MC gets a huge boost of XP, just to instantly lose it again shortly after without ever having bothered to spend it in any kind of way, before going outright into the negative.

This was probably the strangest LitRPG book I've ever read. It was interesting to be sure, and it definitely had some unique pieces in it, but folks who are expecting a normal LitRPG story are going to be confused and disappointed by this one. The story is certainly a good one, it's just a bit off the wall, and that may throw some readers for a loop. I liked it, but I'm sure some folks won't. Plus, it seemed that the further along it went, the stranger it got, it wasn't always consistent with itself either, which could account for some of the confusion. I've really liked everything I've read from this publisher, so I was a little puzzled by this entry in their catalog. It isn't their standard fare, which might lead to some odd looks when folks read this one. Regardless of that, the story is certainly worth the read, just be advised that the story is not your typical LitRPG story, and you should be just fine.

A weird, curious book.
Starting with the premise that our hero is a necromancer-reanimated skeleton, caught in a startrek-style teleporter mishap and left to fend up with a broken RPG system full of bugs... will lead you to a unique and quirky book. One thing is sure, this will not be a book that pleases many genre enthusiasts, as it requires you to adapt to the humor, a character that is highly broken (in multiple senses of the term), and a cast of totally insane and absurd secondary characters that take the story by storm.
It's one of those books that you can't rate or even review properly. Because it is impossible to explain what makes the book tick, even to yourself.
I need to read the next one to figure it out.

This is good but in such a weird, WTF, It shouldn't work but it does for me at least way.
I'm guessing you have to be at gamer or at least be interested in books that feel like an RPG for this to work. Especially as the earlier chapters are really just the main character, the skeleton of the subtitle, puttering around and figuring out some of the basics of how things work for him.
That shouldn't be interesting but somehow the author made it just compelling enough for me to keep reading.
The premise is ridiculously simple. As simple as snakes on a plane. It is a D&D style skeleton servant who gets accidentally teleported to a sci-fi setting. So Skeleton in Space! and that is literally where he ends up floating around, in space. The rest of the book just builds on up from there.
There is a sequel but I haven't decided yet if I'm going to buy it.

Interesting and enjoyable
This book in my opinion combined a lot of different elements that ended up working very well together and created a story that sucked me in from beginning to end. There was the occasional grammatical error but nothing that took away from the story as a whole. I found the ending to be a little confusing given the buildup but I’m very interested in the next book! Great start to a new series that I’ll be keeping an eye on. Fans of LitRPG should definitely give this a try. Anyone looking to compare it to something when deciding whether to read, my best guess is it’s very similar to Everybody Loves Large Chests. Similar concepts but very different story.

I only gave this series a try because I liked he author's other series.
After finishing it, I can say it was "okay". The author tried to do his version of "Everybody Loves Large Chests" (.i.e. a stupid character fumbling his way to sentience and power). Though this character already had some intelligence, unlike Boxxy.
The book wasn't too bad, although I think the author tried a little too hard to make it a scifi novel. Either way I'm willing to give the sequel a try.
3/5 Stars

Interesting start, interesting finish, bland middle
So much tedium, while the overall world and ideas set up are interesting, the book itself is an incredible slog with way too much time spent detailing minor things and actions. The MC is a single minded skeleton, but the exposition fairy and storyline doesn’t need to be as well.
On the other hand, the sudden introduction of magic into a sci-fi verse could be interesting to explore. Just, again, it took the entire book to get there and none of the actual exploring happened in this book. Instead, a lot of reading and manuals and 3D printing was discussed. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

4 stars for the originality!
If you're looking for a non-stop action packed novel with furious combats between masters of magic or magnificent warriors “à la” Marvel, this book IS NOT for you! If you like dumb and numbing scenarios which Hollywood seems to release every week, you're clearly not the intended public...
This is a weird slow burner, original, that doesn't remind me of anything I ever read, with a few characters, a main protagonist that isn't your typical hero (he kind of reminds me of “L'étranger” by Albert Camus) and a scenario that developed itself slowly, like a “Crock-Pot” dish that you can smell invading your house as the day goes by...

Not sure how to rate this
It’s very odd. Vanishingly few moments of speech, most of the book takes place in the ‘mind’ of a skeleton. It’s mostly a portal/system thing, but the MC is not sufficiently aware to really grasp the concept. Makes for a weird narrative.
Grammar was quite good. Absolutely no sex, because skeleton, but quite a bit of cursing after a certain point.
I *did* read the whole thing. I just don’t feel I can recommend this, as it does *not* follow standard tropes. Or writing conventions.

Interesting premise, boring execution.
It's got a very slow pace and the entirety feels like an overdrawn introduction. Nothing interesting about the gamified experience/progression system. Only one of the three characters feel fleshed out. Near halfway, the plot justs grinds and the remaining third of the story was dull.
Kept hoping that the story world would be furthered explored. Nope. Just an abrupt climax and end.
Did enjoy the humor though.

Good concept that never goes anywhere..
Imagine a book about a guy in a box. He doesn’t know it’s a box. Watch him learn about the box. Now imagine that’s the whole book, watching the fellow learn about the box and working out how to escape it. No character development. Just progression to leave the box and lots of unimportant detail... the LitRPG elements are essentially anecdotal.

Weird book, vaguely enjoyable
This book follows a skeleton, the low tier fantasy mob, as it navigates a high tech environment. The strength of the book is how well, how strange and alien but oddly logical it makes the undead's actions and motivations.
The weakness is.... there's no conflict. It's basically a Man vs Nature story, but without any of the sense of awe, understanding or enlightenment that should come from such a story. It's very flat. Not bad, but weird.

Interesting...
I dunno if this is LitRPG, definitlely GameLit. Loveable risen skeleton gets teleported to SciFi world. Spends 3/4 of the book regenerating lost limbs after collision with space debris. Then a lot of interesting things happen and finally a very odd and confusing ending. I wasn't sure about it when I read the description and reviews but I can honestly say I'm glad I read it. And you should too, good LitRPG is so hard to find even if this is really GameLit..

Book one
Mistakes: I didn’t find any.
Plot: A necromancer raises a skeleton that grabs a teleport stone right as it is activated and is sent to a plain with no magic. His very presence starts a change to happen. We spend most of our time reading about a brainless skeleton trying to get his act together.
Characters: The Mc is a moron and the female lead is unlikable in the extreme.
7/10 Hope the Mc improves in latter books.

You Could call this the birth of a LitRPG universe as everything changes when a typical undead skeleton is teleported across genres from Fantasy (doing what is Necromancer tells him to and being quite happy to do so) To a science fiction universe one that seems to be a more or less stagnated civilization
And our Skeleton Named Douglas finds him self on a space station in a very Dead space kind of situation
lets just hope that news report won't continue for another 10 hours

A good start, worth a read.
Entertaining and funny I enjoyed this book immensely.
The characters were well written and had solid growth.
I found the plot to be haphazard, in that it can be summed up as "any improbable event has far reaching consequences, amusingly"
However this lack of a solid plot sets up he plot for the rest of the series.
Looking forward to the next book.

Weird but worth it
A weird meeting point of magic and sci fi. I have never thought of such a combination and it is truly a refreshing take on the old cliches. Be warned that it gets confusing, but not enough to decrease enjoyment of the book. Worth it and looking forward to the rest of the series

This is a really weird book.
Like on the face of it it's a somewhat predictable story, but there's like, little bits that get you curious, like the magic system, or some detail about physics or ships (as compared to boats).
Idk. 3 or 4 stars? 1 star? 5 stars? Definitely not 2 stars. Idk. Towards the end I got quite into it. Lets go for 4.

Weird and compelling
When a necromantically raised skeleton accidentally gets teleported into an alternate dimension and ends up in a derelict spaceship all sorts of hijinks ensue...
I recommend this book for any fans of SciFi and gamelit!

Unique perspective
I enjoyed this book. The unique perspective of Douglas the skeleton was well done. I found his wandering interests amusing and am looking forward to the next book.

Strange and oddly entertaining
A story about Douglas, sentient D&D-like skeleton, who finds his way to an abandoned space station and grows in power by just barely surviving. This story had me chuckling and scratching my head throughout. Quick read. Have fun!

Absolutely loved it
A grate book got to love that skeleton! I would recommend this book to every one! If your reading this and wondering if you should read, do it! You won’t regret it!

An absolutely unique book. I liked the deliberate pace whereby Douglas discovers new talents and hurdles, unlike other LitRPG books where characters enter or become overpowered almost immediately. Lots of interesting ideas to play with in what I hope becomes a long, successful series.
