SOMETIMES TRYING SOMETHING NEW IS NOT A GOOD IDEA
� Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019�
✨✨A LitRPG book✨✨
As a part of this year's Popsugar Challenge I had to read a LitRPG book and this was the one I chose. However, I think I just have just foregone that challenge, because this did not speak to me at all and I almost feel bad for reviewing it...
👎 WHAT I DISLIKED 👎
Genre: Sorry guys, but this genre just doesn't do it for me. It wasn't quite fantasy, it wasn't a game. It was somewhere in between and that diminished the experience for me.
Writing: You know how, when you're writing something specific, and you think it has to sound a particular way? That how I felt about the writing in this book. As if the author was trying to live up to some ideal that didn't quite suit him or the story.
Women: I will keep this short, because this one alone could start a major rant for me. Why is it, that the only women in this story are minor characters, that are inactive, non-participating and passive stick figures?
Direction: The story was, like RPG's are, told through a series of quests. This could have worked, I think, if only the quests were tied into something bigger. I felt that the story lacked a sense of direction and I thought it was super annoying that I didn't get any more information about why Richter came to The Land.

I've been debating on reading this for so long, I always skip over it because I'm afraid litrpg won't have a significant story to keep me interested.

Give Awaken Online a try, rather than this overhyped series.
