“He who fights with monsters”.
I was shocked at how well developed the world/universe is and by how much I’m enjoying it.
When I first heard of it, and of “LitRPG”, I thought it sounded stupid.
Have you seen the meme where the angry parakeet hates the cracker until he bites it and then he’s really happy? That’s me, with this series.
I’m still ignorant of whether the rest of the genre is good or not, but this series definitely is.
I’m ready to book a flight to Australia to help nursemaid the author back to health from whatever thing recently almost took him from us.
The last book series I enjoyed this much was The Dresden Files before the 5 year book gap followed by it going completely off the rails.
I read the first several books in the series (which is currently 12 books long) until I realized how much fun listening to them would be. I was right. So now for my second “read” I’m listening to them, and just having the best time doing so.
I’ve expressed myself poorly here, but tl;dr: That series great. Me like very much. Me super happy to have tried it after all.
