Started chapter 4.
Party currently on a plane of fire in the drift heading to the corpse fleet base.

Chapter 3 was amazing. so much fun

Finished Chapter 2 and began chapter 3 (of 4) Thursday June 18th. Chapter 2 was ok, but continues a problem of introducing areas and possible lore roles and not providing the DM with any interesting information to give to the players. Either the writers expect the DM to know ALL the lore already by heart, or its just poor TTRP adventure writing... or both...

Chapter 1 was a fun, goofy little "dungeon" in a derelict space station. fun times.

Read the adventure once, will have my first session April 30th. Players have read the player's guide, and are starting to think about and build their characters in FoundryVTT.

Time to read the final book in the series. I forgot how much this series has really bad things happen to good people.

Starting chapter 3. Looks like a long fun dungeon with a few interesting encounters.

Chapter 2 was great. I loved the party and all the hourly events. my one issue with the chapter was the dance. not sure how a 17th level character is expected to beat that "encounter". and the numbers/rolls/dcs are so high the party was terrified to even attempt a fight.

what was with that weird chapter for mayor candidates that was nothing but callouts and cameos of other LITRPG protags. this is supposedly the last book in this series why are we wasting time on this. that entire chapter could be cut and the book would only be better for it.

my memories of this series were much more bright and happy. I was not expecting to be so sad and depressed re-reading these books.

Man, I really forgot this entire 2nd novel. I remembered the basic setup of the first book, but absolutely nothing from this one.
It is also a wild experience to read this again after the prequels and how well he wrote those to fit into the world building he wrote for this original series.

I forgot a lot about this series over the years. and it was fun reading about Esrahaddon again, although matching up his personality from his prequel to this book doesn't really match up that well for me.

man, my eyes were starting to glaze over. She is back and forth all over the place so far this book. pick a damn thread and move it forward. I hate it when these longer litrpg books start turning into bullet points instead of stories.

Still not sure what I think about the narrator. his voice really doesn't fit Dusk's character so far. And I'm wondering when the prologue will come back into relevance.

really struggling with this book. the slice of life is feeling more and more pointless. gathering more spirit beasts, and nothing is happening, no forward momentum. I'm fine with slow, but the first half of this book is just spinning its wheels.

ok, I was not liking this book till the "futuristic" stuff snuck in and then it got my attention.
