I found the story very interesting and look forward to seeing the next instalment of this series of books.

Good concept, terrible editing and full of errors
I really enjoyed the concept, and thebworld building was solid.
But oh, the sheer nunber of errors and typos. Sentences without verbs, missing punctuation... it was a difficult read. I reported about 40 issues, then gave up.
Then, when I reached the end, it turns out the editors corrections were still included as footnotes. The issues hadnt been resolved, and the copy with the list of issues was published.
Fix that. And then find a significantly better editor.

Interesting story
I enjoy the story I really do hes an antihero more than anything and I love the diametric opposition of a vampiric sun mage. But dude you really need to edit. Too many typos your editor notes visible and too many repetitive erroneous data. You explain something then go on to explain something again

While I liked this one well enough, I don't think it was as good as the first one. There wasn't much story advancement here, and the characters didn't advance very much either. The story was well enough, I just didn't think it carried the characters along with it like a good story should. I'm still up for reading the next one in the series though, since I'd like to see where it goes from here.

Promising but flawed
This book was released far before it was ready. I found the premise intriguing and engaging, but the faults with the writings where very large and hard to swallow. It feels like Mr Brown just got tired of the story and decided to publish it before it was ready. The author even left notes from someone who was attempting to help edit the story. In the afterword, Brown stated that he was trying to release a new novel every month. Perhaps he should take more time and release a novel every two months. Or, even better: only when finished. More time and polishing would have certainly benefited this novel.

Awesome
Technology and it's proclavitities ... Kept me from revisiting book one with a critic ...
Thus ... Both books ... Great story line ... Very little conflict of convenience ...
BOTH ... Nerd better proofing ... ( the ... For they ...there ... Them ... ETC ... ) ... In second ... Same ... Also ... Minor ????? ... Confusion on this often implied ... Peppy officer's do not clean grounds or etc. ...
Loved the storyline ... Enjoing the characters as well as the characterizations ...
NEEDS a bit of work. ... But so good ... I want to read more.

You forgot to remove the editors notes
Aside from the editors notes, it was a really good read! I read it straight through along with the first one. Hurry up and release the second!
For readers: a few spelling and grammatical errors that don't really distract from a great story. A fantastic warrior trying to wrong the rights of his past. The author isn't afraid to point out the MCs flaws even if he is overpowered at times. Love the action scenes and I can't wait for the romance or fights to come.

Terrible, ignore all the 5 star reviews and save your time.
Due to the bad plot devices and poor choice in phrases, words, concepts I had skimmed through and skipped most of book 1 and 2. After skimming through to chapter 15 in book 2, I have had more that enough.
This helter skelter ‘style’ that the author uses is terrible. I thought perhaps he is just not used to writing and will get better with book 2. No, this is his style.
I do NOT recommend this author. If negative 1 were possible the both books would be -1.

Good book
This is a good book. The are dome odd parts and odd choices. He went to the coliseum to level up but he gained 5 levels in 1 year. Seems like an odd choice. Next he wants to go to war. He and his men killed 100,000 and he gained 1 level. Seems very odd. It's also had that he keeps trying to make a name for himself instead of leveling in obscurity but safety. I will definitely read the next book

Author left his proofreader links in. Still more errors.
You'll see links at the end of a few paragraphs. Clicking them will take you to the back of the book where the proofreader's notes are. Even so, there are still so many errors. Every other page has multiple errors it slowed down my reading for all the good reporting it does.. Get a good editor, then this novel will be worth something.

Decent concept, needs work
This appears to be a first draft, it even has the editor notes scattered throughout the book and collectively at the end. It also appears that the author may need to find a better editor. The concept and direction here are pretty good, but it needs some significant polishing.

Ruthless and visceral
Not your story book hero, nor your classic anti-hero. A man on a mission, ruthless and determined. Excellent series. I hope we see more growth in power of the MC next book. Interesting leaving, what I assume, is editor’s notes in the book. Nice peak behind the scenes.

Good, continuation of the series
Good, continuation of the series. But as with first book there are so many typos, sentences or words that don't make any sense. Time frames and distances that are useless and don't make any sense.
Author, please hire a professional proofreader. I love the series, but the above will make most readers sick and not even touch the books.

Really good series do far.
I love the Vikingesque feel of the main character bradley. His indomitable will is his best skill by far. The pacing is great although feels a lil rushed but still really good. So many plot ways this story can go and i look forward to future installments.

Same spelling and word-choice problems as the first book, also, editing comments were included in this draft
Remember, “cavalry” are soldiers on horses, “Calvary” is a place.
This might not be the final intended draft, not all of the editing comments were addressed and at least one of them resulted in a change that had a new, different misspelled word used.

Even better
This book was even better than the first. You can definitely see a difference and an improvement in comparison to the beginning of the first book. The plot only thickens and gets even better. The pacing was a bit faster as well. But not so fast that it took away from any of the development. Definitely enjoyed the book and looking forward to reading the next one.

Blood and steel
Apocalyptic wars and Litrpg tropes are common so is going back in time to right past wrongs. However the amount of sheer carnage, realism and dark real human emotions with plenty of action makes this a very different novel. MC is also not too OP and all knowing which makes for a good read.

Why so short
Don’t get me wrong. I’m loving this series but I finish them in a day. I feel if you were to combine all 4 or the first and second 2 then you’d have almost full books or one lengthy one. Like seriously I work for a living and don’t go out of my way to finish it how?!?!?! Great though. They have kept me well immersed until I have to rate it and get the next.

Awful
This book was terrible, it’s almost 80% filler talking about random nonsense like how dirty his dishes and floor is in way to much detail. A bunch of lines just copy pasted 10-15 times. Liked the first novel but going to be giving this author the hard pass from now on.

Great litrpg
Easily understood stats. Reasonable leveling. Clear distinction between classes. Full of action. Strategies that are realistic. Characters that are in depth and relatable

Great sequel
I like the pace and that there is action and strategy and some more development. I read this and the first of the series in about 3 days so now I’m stuck waiting for the third one some let’s get that out so I can read it and be left wanting more.

A good sequel
A good addition to the series. I would consider deleting the notes of whoever proofread your book. Most of them don't make sense anymore as you've already made the changes. I assume this is a simple oversight and is easily corrected

enjoyable
I liked the book and will read the next one. There are some typos but the only really annoying thing is that there are editor links in the book still, the author needs to take those out whether they are fixed or not.

Wrong version uploaded
Entertaining story but the version on kindle right now has someone’s editing comments still attached as foot notes. And they missed a decent amount of transposed words.

Good story, not so good everything else.
Good story bad grammar etc, especially after the 25% mark. Feels like the author may not have English as a first language sometimes. The story is good enough to get you through that however.

Zero understanding of the military
First book was pretty good but this one was a huge disappointment. The author obviously has no understanding of the military. The very idea of a private planning a strategy with generals boggles my mind...and I love science fiction

Continuing the isekai returner
Neat story and I like where it’s headed. Only reason I took a star off was for some grammatical errors. Cavalry is a force on horse back. Calvary is a hill in the Christian bible where Jesus died *spoiler warning*

Pretty Good
This was a pretty good read. I am very excited for the next book in this series. It is a bit short for my taste but definitely worth it.
