Description

A game that puts all others to shame. Magic that has been banned from the world. A man willing to learn no matter the cost. The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves. In his pursuit of power, Joe fights alongside his team, completes quests, and delves into the mysteries of his class, which he quickly discovers can only be practiced in secret. Ultimately, his goal is to complete every mission, master every ability, and learn all of the world's secrets. All he has to do is survive long enough to make that happen.

My Review

This is a good escapist lit RPG book. This book sets up a lot of the rules and structure for the complexity that builds as the series continues. It provides a loose structure around how the protagonist ended up in this fantasy world and why he is special compared to the other characters. I found this book to be as enjoyable to read as the Murderhobo series I previously read by this author. This isn't high literature but not everything needs to be.
