After one too many failed inventions, Julian has hit rock bottom.
Summoned to another world where gods and monsters roam, Julian continues his streak of bad luck. Rather than touching the Godcore directly, he let his smartphone absorb it. Now, he's got to figure out how to make the Godcore and his phone work together to help the people who summoned him survive their upcoming annihilation by the mad God of Chains. Behind that raging deity sit more gods looking to tear Julian down, and behind them wait an army of ravenous insects looking to consume everything and everyone in their path.
He's going to have to innovate his way out of his bad luck. Good thing Julian has a plan - he's going to build a factory in a medieval world.
A completed LitRPG series, Factory of the Gods features action, crafting, industrial equipment, base building, and light Dungeon Core elements.
Omnibuses are always fun. No waiting for the sequels! Good basebulding/rpg. Pretty heavy on the crafting at times, but it’s an engaging story and kept me hooked.
As the title says this is a review for Kindle Unlimited and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.
I reviewed, at least, the first three novels individually. I'm glad that the remaining novels stood up to my expectations of excellence. There are some minor errors, which will likely be soon corrected, as they mostly seem to be editing errors which are easily fixed once they are brought to the author's attention.
Tis series is an excellent example of the Isekai genre and may appeal to fans of the broader Fantasy genre and to those who enjoy playing RPGs.
Never expected "Factorio" to make a good novelization but...
But weaving it in with LitRPG tropes and mechanics like this was absolutely *inspired.* The combination is far more than the sum of its parts, and Raizman's characters are well written and make believable and inventive use of all those parts.
Came from his Dinosaur Dungeon series, was like “oh crap i have 9 or so more books to read to catch up” and read this in about 1-2 weeks. Engaging story that, while marred with the occasional typo, is very fun to read and ties in with points that I read about in the Dinosaur Dungeon series. 10/10 very good read.
I enjoyed reading this book very much and I recommend this book to anyone who likes LitRPG and progression type of books with lots of action and dungeon themes.
