Discovering a Tutorial to help against the Monsters should be a good thing. But the Humans that came before Brodie had and have other plans.
Brodie must hope for the best for his burgeoning company as he is transported to a whole new world, with a strange new socioeconomic structure. If he and his family were middle class on Earth, he knows now that he’s just a newb at the bottom of the Tutorial ladder.
There is a small glimmer of hope as he realizes just how much he can personally gain from the Tutorial. Especially with Smegma’s help and knowledge of the System…
Can Brodie learn enough to return a true Hunter, or will he be stuck inside for decades…
Alchemy, with brief notes on various gathering skills. Plus a focus on spear wielding.
Still in the Tutorial. Not leaving terribly soon. The side plot of his business being wrecked and the trial going poorly since he is gone is nice for flavor.
A good continuation of the series. It was a little different this time since Brody was by himself in tutorial town. There were chapters dealing with his friends back on earth and Smegma but it was mainly him. From the day by day point of view, I really enjoyed this book. A lot more crafting, a lot more gathering. Learning how to use his Chi and other aspects. Brody always wanted to be a hunter and he was finally able to get some training on using a spear. This was more of a means to an end. He wasn't trying to become an insane warrior, just someone who could stay alive long enough to gather what he needed.
From a big picture point of view, there is something missing. The author pretty much goes out of his way to NOT tell the reader what is happening. He does this by NOT telling Brody what is happening. The place is called tutorial town and nobody seems to know what is going on, at least not anybody that is telling Brody. At the very least in a tutorial, someone should explain the rules and the goals. That didn't happen. It makes me think there is something behind that
I did really like it though and blew through this book. Now I am stuck waiting for the next one to come out.
Brodie has now found himself inside a new realm and things are even more complicated as new opportunities and new people raise the bar. I particularly like how the wider world is used to change exactly how we see the first few books and of course exactly what portends for the future. Can't wait till we see just how all the development s come to fruition.
Book 3 of this awesome series sees the story going in a new direction. It's almost like reading a different story, but the author keeps it connected with occasional updates on the original location. Ryan Debruyn proves once again that he deserves his position as one of the best LitRPG authors.
Nothing meaningful happens in this book. It is literally one over-long training montage. The protagonist stays in the same place, trains, and learns a few new skills. That's the entirety of it. The overall plot hasn't advanced in any meaningful way. If you edited it down to a third of the length you'd have a decent first act for a better book.
Brodie is now lucking into a lot of success. How long before he gets caught? Or has he finally gotten the answer to getting out that no one seems to be willing to discuss? And why would that be?
Not in a bad way but the third book changes the story completely. Instead of the MC figuring out the ins and outs of the system in a world like our own he is transported to a fantasy type tutorial world. It’s still good but very different than the first books.
Another fun book by Ryan that leaves you eagerly awaiting the next installment. Can't wait to continue this journey with Brodie and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This story of a college student getting attacked and accidentally skill stealing a super skill. The System has updated and barely works. At the end of this book, our guy figures out how to leave the tutorial.
Things finally heat up near the end of the book, and wham! It’s over. So many questions, no answers … or were there in the final pages. If you enjoy progression, this is a fun one.
