It works / I like this so far.
LitRPG / NPC awakening / Non-Human MC / Light comedy
This update is for the audiobook narrated by Johnathan McClain.
(Not John McLain who is also a narrator who does a lot of westerns)
-I like this. I can see how others could find this annoying, but I like NPC to hero stories. Also the humor is mild without too many puns. The world is neither too dark nor too cutesy-poo.

Don't know what happened, but I've lost interest in this book. It doesn't seem any different, but the joy of reading it fell off.
