Loved it

A nice change to the standard levelling up, definitely doesn’t get boring! I also enjoyed the narration.

Top class storytelling

This was a very entertaining book, great characters and a fantastic storyline. The game mechanics and the mc having to change his class several times worked really well. Lots of plot lines that look to be leading to bigger things. Of course Daniel Wisniewski does a fantastic narration, never in doubt.

interesting Idea

I went into this book with interest, a litrpg where the character can't control his class? That's new! He keeps changing? That's new too. He has no personality?....wait that's bad.

it is unfortunately an opinion I picked up quite quickly. The main character has all the personality of a half brick, sure you throw it at something and it will do some damage but you don't really care what happens to the half brick afterwards. I found myself unable to muster any interest in what happens to him next, all his dialog is either "I don't know what's happening" or the kind of talk you get from egotistical 10 year olds who play too many online games.

The story was mildly interesting but kept too vague. I didn't know if this was a computer game, different world, dimension or anything else and again it was kind of hard to care without details.

Still, I finished the book so that should say something. a lot of the membership included books I don't bother finishing.

My final criticism isn't of the story but the narrator, he was good enough with the voices but I had to listen to the story at 110% speed and it still seemed like he was talking in slow motion.

overall, worth a listen but don't expect anything ground breaking.

Well paced with strong characters

Strong lead with good supporting characters. Expected to see closer relationships forming - looking forward to seeing how the story and relationships progress in the next book.

mediocre and not super well put together

Im about half way though and so far the concept is alright, but ultimately its just the mc rolling a bunch of dice and getting the best option possible at the cost of it being very confusing at the start. my main gripe with this book is that characters seem to only ever figure out what the plot needs them to figure out. many things are blatantly obvious for anyone with a brain but the plot needs everyone to be clueless about a thing so they are clueless, especially the mc. for example the mc spends most of the first half of the book not being sure about how any part of his abilities work despite being a super nerd shut in min/max gamer like you'd expect, that being the case he should have realised that Trickster god + game system that seems to revolve around dice roles + and changing appearances seemingly at random must = your goanna randomly switch race and class a bunch. but he acts completely shocked for the first few times this happens like 'what?? you mean that this isn't the last time I'm going to switch forms? no way!' a real nerd min/maxer would probably figure this out and look to use the stupid amount of gold he gets for free to acquire everything he could possibly need to handle all the changes and look up info on all the different classes he could get, but instead he treats every transformation like that's what he will be for a long time and only gets gear for the class he happens to be at the time. its odd.

other than that the book lacks depth, most of the thought seems to have gone into world building but this author's only understanding of how to impart that world building is to have the personality less mc just spam questions at everyone in sight like half this stuff isnt fairly obvious. to that point, the mc is pretty bland, his only real defining trait is that he's a lonely hard core gamer, but as I mentioned earlier he's really to much of an idiot to actually line up with that. the side characters are alright, but they too suffer from knowing what the plot needs them to and nothing else. they often seem to be all knowing and wise but then seem incapable of putting a few pieces of information together like they have been doing all the way until that moment.

tl;dr: glad it was free. the VA is good.

I dont know how this series is free, but thanks the LITRPG gods. This series is up there with HWFM and the rest. I heard the first book in 3 days, Second book is just as good so 2 hours in.
