Regicide (The Completionist Chronicles, #2)

This is second in a LitRPG series that builds . . . everything over the course of the series. Read in order.
Yes, you know what you're getting. This has a lot more guild stuff with the Wanderers becoming a "Noble Guild" and branching out into their own space/city. The guild things were incredibly realistic to me, having been involved with MMORPG guilds before. The management and harboring of unity for a group of people with varying degrees of commitment and different reasons for playing/joining. I like that Krout only hints at those things under the surface, though, because Joe is largely outside those concerns.
I particularly liked Joe's interactions with the guild leader, Aten. This books goes through some ups and downs there, and I thought that was extremely well-done.
And I liked even better the big conflict with the wolfmen and how that played out, along with the eventual fallout with world-changing effect. And when the great conflict is over and (view spoiler).
Anyway, this was a good five stars, but I'll say that you have to have a high tolerance for the LitRPG side of things since Krout includes a lot of the mathiness that optimizers of MMORPGs exploit to do their thing. Joe is very much that kind of player.
A note about Chaste: We're on the periphery of a couple that forms in Joe's adventuring party in this one. And it's implied, strongly, that that involves sex. But there's none of that on the page, so I consider this very chaste.
