I was surprised
When I heard "father of LitRPG" and some of the other things I've heard about the author I was a bit skeptical. I read the free sample. Still skeptical. When I saw a promo in the back of another fantastic (but too short) series, Divine Dungeon, and that this book happened to be free that day (July 1st, 2017), I figured "what the hell? What have I got to lose?"
I need to stop being such a cynic sometimes...
This book was AMAZING. Great flow, great humor, lots of fun references (loved that Firefly callback), exciting but not at a breakneck speed so that we actually got some story, and the fact that we didn't always win the first time through. I really enjoy seeing challenges overcome in a semi-realistic manner.
Also helps I was really in the mood for an ARPG with some town building mechanics and this book scratched that itch (except that I want to play this book now).
Diving into book 2 now...

I'm a little late to the party but I actually just bought the audio book so my wife can listen to it while driving. I will not argue, Nick is amazing at what he does, but I don't personally need it.
Would definitely recommend the audio for people that like audiobooks.
You should try the audio version of these books! The narrator brings these already awesome characters to life!
