A surprise

I expected nothing special but boy was I happily surprised. I do genuinely think this book is one of the best I’ve read. I know thats quite the claim but I’m serious, let me explain.

It blends litrpg with a realistic fantasy-medieval world in a truly realistic manner (as in, the characters act realistically, everything seems very logical and fights, power etc well explained and reasonable), and with strong focus on progression and kingdom building this really has all the elements I love.

I usually like OP protagonists, and this is not quite that, atleast not yet, yet it makes every success the MC gets even better.

The characters and world are realistic and intriguing. Protagonist makes realistic mistakes and is not a perfect specimen nor can he best everybody else (not yet anyway).

But the book manages to stay interesting and the progression and action is thrilling.

Highly recommend for all fans of kingdom building (building up an estate) progression and litrpg.

However, there is a small matter with the performance, the narrator is excellent but at times he pauses or swallows audibly, which brings me out of the story. Otherwise excellent.

I also worry a little that our protagonists progression is too realistic, making him fall behind compared to his peers in the future. I generally dislike reading about an average or above average protagonist, since my own life is average enough. I want something special! This is only a future concern, but so far so good!

Awaiting book 2.
