In the age-old spirit of reading some of the easiest and most enjoyable popcorn fiction ever designed for old RPG gamers like myself, I've fallen off the wagon of anything normally regarded as "proper" fiction and now I'm wallowing like a pig in the mud.

I'm in heaven.

Okay, I've been reading LitRPG novels for some time now and I've loved them ever since I first turned on the TV back in the 80's. Do you remember that old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon? Yeah. That one. Let's get transported away into In the age-old spirit of reading some of the easiest and most enjoyable popcorn fiction ever designed for old RPG gamers like myself, I've fallen off the wagon of anything normally regarded as "proper" fiction and now I'm wallowing like a pig in the mud.

I'm in heaven.

Okay, I've been reading LitRPG novels for some time now and I've loved them ever since I first turned on the TV back in the 80's. Do you remember that old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon? Yeah. That one. Let's get transported away into a wide world of adventure, dragging us out of our everyday slog. But most of all...

LET'S LEVEL UP!

I think that's the main draw for people like me. The stories in the games and in this book, in particular, are all boilerplate standard quest stuff, but who cares. The joy is in the challenge, the discovery, and the enhancement of our skills. If we get to destroy a tribe of goblins or get embroiled in deeper and darker intrigues, it's all bonus. :)

From Matthew Stover and Cline's Ready Player One I'm thrilled to see that this is now a thing. The fact that I've already read a few more along the pure popcorn lines of a whole new established genre just means that it's not a one-off.

I'm beginning to think that I can expect to enjoy this kind of thing forever! WOOO! And to think I once thought it would be trash. :) The quality of everything I've read, all the way up to this novel, has been quite good. I now can ignore dystopias, sparkly vampires, and all those other flavors of the day. I've got myself a new flavor. :)

*giddy dance*

And there's so much to choose from, too! They're all pretty much the same, of course, but that's okay. I'm not sick of it. 30 years of these games in RL has pretty much made me become an insta-fan. :)

And yes, I brought up a few authors and such in this review for a particular reason: I've come to the easy realization that Aleron Kong, the "Father" LitRPG is entirely sardonic and the unmitigated level of ego has got to be level 20. I can appreciate that. A woman as a father is pretty telling, after all. :) Go Aleron! :) ...more

Warning: this is a review of the whole series published so far (books 1–6), not just the first book.

I guess the story was supposed to be about an inexperienced and careless character who gradually grows into a wise ruler, but damn. The protagonist not only has a rather annoying personality and impulsive behaviour, he also makes one stupid mistake after another and very often doesn’t learn anything from his mistakes, repeating the same ones over and over again. Worse than that, the universe often ...more

I was lucky enough to happen upon this through a free promotion (I don't remember which one as I signed up for many) but I was pleasantly 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?

Protagonist is immortal and limitless (not spoilers since you find that out in the first couple chapters), so author makes it clear that his protagonist will be Mary-Sue, there's no tension that something bad will happen to him ...more

LitRPG is by far my favorite genre, so I tried hard to like this book . . . very hard. In the end, the best praise I can give it is that the premise is moderately interesting and the grammar is reasonably good.

My biggest turnoff was that the main character simply wasn't likeable (or hate-able for that matter). He was juvenile and flat, a noob-hating, immature 11-year-old, passed off as a 20-something gamer with no real back story, connections, motivations, or drive.

The humor was constant and LitRPG is by far my favorite genre, so I tried hard to like this book . . . very hard. In the end, the best praise I can give it is that the premise is moderately interesting and the grammar is reasonably good.

The humor was constant and cheap, not once even bringing me a smile. It consisted mostly of fart jokes, outdated meme references, and pretentious, snide comments that fell short because it was unclear if the main character was attempting humor or really that full of himself.

The juvenile humor alone, however, couldn't have accounted for my dislike. I love some humor thrown into a LitRPG (see Ready Player One) and even quite enjoyed Robert Bevan's Caverns and Creatures, which is pretty much all immature potty humor. Bevan's humor though, at least made me chuckle, and it at least fit his characters, who had enough of a personality to pull it off. It also fit the emotions of their reactions to their experiences, another thing that Kong's character lacked.

How do you have no emotional reaction to being plucked--life and soul--from your world and permanently put into an RPG? Some people might be terrified, others might grieve the loss of the family and friends they'll never see again. Some people might be excited, caught up in the wonder of the fantasy. Some might even hold evil ambitions of making that world their "bitch." He could have at least been momentarily angry at his predicament, suspicious of the reasons he was placed the game, skeptical with regards to whether it was all a dream. Instead his only reaction is “Oh, I’m here forever, with no idea why? Cool, let’s go farm some XP and looks for opportunities to allude to my preference for Apple over Microsoft.”

Overall, I was unimpressed and won't be reading more from "The Father of American LitRPG." ...more

This book is written enthusiastically, I'll give it that, though the writing is also full of typos and punctuation errors. But the plot, such as it is, is pretty poor stuff. A gaming enthusiast is transported to a world that's a near-exact replica of his favourite game. He's greeted by an imp who tells him, very forcibly, that he is no longer playing a game...but from there on, it stops making sense, because the remainder of the book shows very clearly that he is definitely still playing a game. ...more

I wanted to like this book - this entire series, in fact - but it's just impossible, and it's completely because of the author. Aleron is the reason I joined Goodreads and am writing a review right now. Reading this insufferable writing is really that unpleasant.

Obviously, if you don't have a history with gaming, this book probably won't really resonate with you. The gaming part is the appeal, and it's what I'm here for. I love the LitRPG genre. The stats and optimizing are nice, the progression and quantifiable improvement are what keep me around. For that reason, I've made it through the first three books and am going to make a heroic effort to finish this thing. But with every page, I'll hate Aleron, because he sucks. The following are my issues with the author and how those issues affect the book, in no particular order.

-He's trying to copyright the term 'LitRPG', for some reason.

-He's clearly inserted himself into a fantasy written for his own consumption. The characters flaws are his flaws (aw darn, he didn't think about what he was doing and there were negative consequences. But he's fantastic, so he stupendously dealt with the fallout and emerged all the better for it. Woo go infallible main character.)

-The moral issues are a joke. Ranging from the treatment of non-humans (yet another setting where non-humans are second class citizens. It's not new, but there's nothing wrong with it in principle. But it's so goddamn binary in this. All humans are bad except like four freedom fighters who think this is bad, all non-humans are victims, and it was just so direct. No subtlety. Just a weird look from a guard, then an in-depth explanation.) to the consideration of the lives of sentient beings to the treatment of his villagers, it all feels fake and forced and in no way authentic. He wonders if it's okay to kill kobolds, since they're a fully sentient race with an established language and apparently a particular talent for mapmaking, but then just kinda stops caring pretty quickly.

-Spelling/grammar - really just awful. Inexcusably bad. Like in high school when you'd turn in a paper without proof-reading it. Get an editor. How do you not have an editor?

-Descriptions - he's overly in-depth about everything. He'll ramble forever about absolutely nothing. Half of these books are filler.

-The fight scenes are about what you'd expect overall, but there's an annoying tendency to look at things from the soon-to-be-dead opponent's POV, as if to add intensity. And it comes off as cheesy and distracting every time.

-Aleron is also calling himself the "Father of American LitRPG". What? Literally no one thinks this. He's written crummy series. He's neither the first nor best to do it. There's absolutely no basis for this statement, just sheer ego. He's just aggressively monetizing this whole thing. It's transparent and shameless and shitty.

-Probably the biggest issue in this book is how hard Aleron tries to inject his personality into this book. And his personality sucks. An odd amalgamation of childish sex jokes, random profanity, sidebar commentary of absolutely no significance or wit, and pop culture references all take you out of the moment, waste space on the page, and broadly just suck. Absolutely none of it is funny. It's awkward and forced and cringey - you can tell this guy's writing this book exclusively for himself.

-General logicky things with backstory. The character pretty much never wonders if this is a dream or tries to get home or anything, he just takes the whole thing in stride. So, sure, you assume he was a loser back home and this is a blissful escape and all he's ever dreamed of, that's fine. After all, he's introduced as one of the highest leveled players in the game in the prologue. But NOPE. He's in med school. Has Aleron ever met someone in med school? Where does he find the time? It's like his back story just generated this entire arbitrary lifetime of pursuit of medical knowledge to justify Richter performing a minor healing on someone one time. Then later, the character specifically states that all he used to worry about was video games and getting laid - med school has completely left the list of concerns. At no point does he express an interest in being a paladin or cleric or any such thing. He's got healing spells, but they're far from his focus. I cannot fathom why med school was introduced. Plus his home life was great! All these references to his loving mother in Atlanta pepper the book as well, none of it for any reason. And my did Richter have a lot of girlfriends in his few short years of life. None of it was given any thought by the author.

-Enemy strength consistency/levels. One of the greatest failures of RPGs is that you can never make things quite as realistic as you'd like. It's tough to capture fighting a giant ogre, to give it quantifiable health and strength and such, but then let a standard human go toe to toe with it and take a hit despite reality. But what else can you do, if this human will indeed progress to become a god? Basically just give it a high level and call it a day, typically. Fair enough. But not here! Levels don't actually seem to mean much. Level 15 Richter vs a level 33 assassin? Richter pulls it out with some minor trickery. Level 20 Richter vs a level 13 rock giant? Richter gets OBLITERATED. He's getting knocked out in single hits, he runs for his life for like three nights and eventually has to hide from the thing. Why is it level 13? What do levels mean, if not a representation of an enemy's relative strength? This is just lazy. On this note, seemingly every townsperson is in single digit levels. Levels seem helpful, provided you don't distribute stat points as arbitrarily as the least personable protagonist in the world. You're telling me that a 40-year old man in this game is level six because he runs a shop and he never did much fighting? Fine, I guess. Except you get major experience for leveling skills, and you've gotta assume our boy has pretty fantastic cooking/trading/hunting/horseriding/knife wielding/sewing/what the hell ever else skills, since he's been doing them his whole life. After all, Richter soars through the levels in just a few months. Single fights send him up multiple levels, but people that have existed in this world for decades are level-averse. It's annoying. Put some thought into your opus, father of litRPG. Just explain it away reasonably, that's all you have to do. But he does not.

There's so much more. The way he talks to his pet, the way he flirts, the way the world conspires for things to go right for the main character. He finds legendary items of incalculable value on a daily basis guarded by the most minimal and beatable of opponents. The way the author refers to him as "the Master of the Mist Village" and "The Chaos Seed" as if he's writing the damned Iliad. Everything about this book screams talentless amateur, and the only reason it's had any success is because it's a field so desperate for content and this guy markets himself so shamelessly. Despite all of this I'm going to read through all of these books, because at this point I'm owed a payoff, but I'd prefer not having started. For my money, go read Worth the Candle. It's not done yet, but it reads like a book written by an author who cares about creating a quality product. This has been a rant. I hoped that he was a brand new author and he'd start improving as I progressed through the books, but he has not. So frustrating. ...more

Couple those two facts and mix with a grade five writing level and a matching level of humour then stir in a healthy dose unchecked self-promotion and you’ve pretty much got the gist of why this series appeared on any top-10 list (other than the top-10 ways to waste your book budget perhaps).

It’s rather difficult to understand who the intended audience is due to the pre-teen writing style versus the seemingly endless stupid sexual references and near constant, unnecessary profanity. The ideas and lack of complexity such as anything resembling a basic plot twist lend to a younger reader category but the so called “shit talking” in this series is often machismo, homophobic nonsense and is unfunny to the adult intelligence. The inter-personal relationships between the main character and his minions seems to mainly consist of either this inane crude banter or them saving each other’s lives and not much in between which doesn’t lend to verisimilitude. Tiresome, god-like, predictable characters in tiresome, predictable combat scenarios that rarely leave the reader wondering if the hero will prevail.

The main character’s utter arrogance, lack of humility, and overall cockiness destroys the author’s attempts to add any fathomable depth to him. I won't get started on the message threaded throughout the series that communist dictatorships can flourish... but here's the spoilers: we see the protagonist threatening the lives of other characters if they don't give away the secrets of their trades to other citizens. The only one that seems to be allowed to accumulate wealth is the hero who spends it as he sees fit.

If this book were a video game, then this hero has the game on its easiest setting and the player buys currency, power-ups, and legendary items: pay to win. Every reward that the protagonist receives is too spectacular, too rare, too inconceivably amazing. Borrrrring.

The most entertaining thing I found about this series wasn’t a part of the story at all: the publisher’s notes for this book actually compares it to Game of Thrones and Ready Player One. Laughable arrogance! Anyone who would dare compare Dr. Kong’s writing with the likes of Ernest Cline’s probably just went and watched the movie and has never laid eyes on the book. George R.R. Martin's stories routinely puts characters in all sorts of awful, unpredictable situations which many don't survive. Score one more advantage of being your own publisher: no pesky editors to point out your flaws and another platform to shamelessly self-promote yourself as the ‘father’ of a splinter genre. Win, win!

Demand more from your book budget: this is the kind of nonsensical degradation of the fantasy genre that is ruining it. ...more

I do however have some reservations. One of the drawbacks to Unabridged can be that some text is meant to be scanned/skimmed in a book, but must be read its entirety for the audio version. ...more
