Solid story.

first the bad:
the narrators voice, very often sounds like he has a lot of saliva in his mouth, and should have swallowed. a couple of sentences ago.
I know this sounds rude, it is not intended as such, but my brain won't stop focusing on it.

the writing, also has contains aspects I normally dislike.
sentences that over explain certain aspects of a story.
it rehashes already know information like you would forget it, from the previous sentence, not precious book.
Dave was angry, in his anger he struck out at the monster, his anger didn't cool, and he kept striking in anger, as his anger flowed through him.....

I get it, he is angry, stop stalling the story, with information you already given.
this is so annoying.

then the good:
The characters are rich. well written. (likable or not) story is decent. the pace can feel slow because you have so many points of view. the first book is not so bad, but this gets worse as the story progresses, so you have to maintain interest between view points, which can be tricky when you are caught up in what
happens with other characters.

this is however good, because it means the story has dragged you in to care.

story and narrator each take a point off, but the sum is greater than that of its parts.

Enjoyable listen

This litrpc set of books is much different than others that deal with one main character. Granted you have the main character in Dave but it still involves his wife and children. Different but a really good story!

Takes gaming ideas to a nice twist

Easy to get lost. Although at times the details for leveling etc can go on I still found it interesting to complete each characters idea's

Good but very very slow.

Good but the whole thing is very very slow. Listening to it gives you the feeling of swimming through tar.

Lazy writing

To be perfectly honest, it is not a bad story. But it is pretty much average. The central issue is the system and culture/lore. There is practically nothing that stands out and borrows much too heabily on tropes that are completely unaltered.

The moon elves are basically japan, the only difference is no stayed preference for sushi. At least so far. The system acts only as a crutch; you cannot gain skills other than levelling and you get free points to buy nearly any skill you want and you can only increase skill levels through that, not experience or training or use.

My breaking point was when the healer is suddenly faced with the possibility of battle and just puts 10 points into a weapon skill in response. Effectively you can go from "never held a sword before" to master in 0 seconds flat...

The story is ok but hasn't managed to hold me at all nearly two books in and there are also a few mistakes in narration that have not been edited out. Not a huge issue, but it just adds to a feeling that this not a polished piece.
