Loved the character and world progression. Narration was good too.
can happily recommend a trip within the Limitless Lands.

LitRPG & military fantasy fusion

nice combo od litrpg and military fantasy. focus on tactics is refreshing and bring vibes of David Webber, Eric Flint etc.

Fully fleshed out slice of a game world

Obvious thought put into the whole story to end in a satisfying way. couple of loose ends left hanging, I'm guessing to potentially be fleshed out elsewhere.

Jack's narration is just as good as it was in Mother of Learning, though a friend did say it took a little while to start to enjoy the narration, I did not have that experience. Great work!

ok its a good story

mc is far too weak, to an extreme in pvp, but overall a good series and s good story, it feels like the story was written by a brit but set in the states, the terminology comes short and its annoying, if its the case it should have just been set in uk. would make more sence especially all accents are brit, irish and scottish with a few terrible southern states thrown in.

Enjoyable but Flawed

I did enjoy this book, but be aware there were a lot of things the author does that annoy me.

First of all the positives, the book did a very good approximation of mixing game mechanics and actual war, that made this interesting to listen to. In addition the players seemed to have strong personalities and their motivations were clear, when they had screen time. Their chemistry was good and their charecter arcs worked.

Onto the bad, the author seemed to want to spoon feed me his military jargon, such as using ‘NCO’ pointlessly when sergeant would do, and I don’t think he needed to explain why the army and the marines didn’t like each other so much. The story basically has two parts, the in game, and out of game, honestly I found myself skipping most of the out of game chapters (I listened to the first three books before realising this), and I honestly wish I’d skipped more. There was also no charecter development of Raytak, he was the same at the beginning as the end, which was a missed opportunity in my opinion. Finally the end felt rushed. There was no goodbye to the limitless lands and a lot of in game threads were unresolved. The end was extremely powerful and I liked it, but I didn’t like that I’d spent 50 hours+ learning to love the undying lands and then seeing it dismissed as an irrelevance after [redacted due to spoilers].

Honestly it was a good read but not a great one imo.
