World of Ga'em #1
The Eternal: Awakening
Do you fear the darkness?
Do you fear the pain and terror within?
It wasn’t my fault. I didn’t mean to look for things I wasn’t supposed to. I didn’t mean for death to come after me. I really didn’t.
But it still happened.
I’m Zoran and my name is the only thing I remember about myself; not why I woke up in a forest, not why I taste blood in my mouth, and certainly not why I see weird screens in front of me. Ever since I first woke, all I wanted to do was find out who I really was. But what I didn’t expect, was for my search to spark something that was never meant to happen.
It has started now. I can see it. Cities will burn and towers will fall. Chaos will descend the heavens and ravage the earth. The darkness is coming, and the world will tremble in its wake.

Meh...
The writing was rough, and there was a lot of telling and not enough showing. I also felt that the main character was being dragged along a very plotted out path, it didn't feel natural at all.
I will admit first person narrative isn't my favorite, so that could have been some of it.
Maybe I will try the second installment to see if it gets better.

Couldn't really get into it, but still an interesting story. One thing that really stood out was at one point the screen calls him "player," but there is nothing else to suggest it is an actual game, so that seemed weird then and in retrospect.

Lazy writing
Minor spoilers ahead!
I gave up reading this around 25% of the way in due to sheer annoyance with the author. He babies and pampers the MC by constantly feeding him a constant stream of convenient acidents and encounters.
MC has no memory, but remembers descriptions, item names, rare item stats and lore, city names, etc. all when he needs them, but regularly remarks that he can't remember anything. How very... Convenient.
MC gets attacked, find a convenient healing spring.
MC dies, can conveniently respawn which is not a normal skill in this world setting.
MC respawns next to a forest, encounters nymphs who are being attacked, saves them by killing an ogre that massively outlevels him using a super powerful skill that was given to him by a mysterious inner voice, asks specifically for some super-powerful weapons he happens to know of, and gains ally status with the nymps. Seriously?
Goes to a city, immediately encounters somebody who knows what he is and gives him a badge identifying him as an ally after having spoken no more than a couple lines.
The conveniences heaped on the MC are extraordinarily ridiculous and overdone. I cannot recommend this book to anybody and could not even force myself to finish the book.

I tried
I gave it a shot. I typically don't like sword and sorcery fantasy. On the other hand, I do love LIitRPG. Regular "great" S&S fantasy usually have long sections of internal monologues/descriptions. I prefer LitRPG because they break up those long stretches of thinking, explaining, and describing with stat allocation and game mechanics. If you can remove ALL the RPG elements, and the story does NOT change, you probably should. XP answer Stats happen immediately after the battles. Then the 'thinking and describing things to yourself' time happens. I dislike books that go through three to four chapters with two lines of dialogue. In the beginning third, that's not a problem. In the meat of the book, that is a problem. I will attempt the next book because....why not.
Hooray for Kindle Unlimited!

I enjoyed reading this book very much and look forward to reading the rest. I chose the book because it was highly recommended. And I gave it 5 stars because it was actively entertaining.
I recommend this book to all who love reading LitRPG Sagas. I give the highest praise to the author and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Another The Land: Founding clone. Easy to spot when they always start the same way, wake up in an unknown place, magical spring of some sort, killed by wolves (ALWAYS WOLVES) helps fay (or some other small non-human) creatures, get a magical staff... e_e do you really have to follow every story beat?!?!?
*Sigh*
The story really falls down on all fronts, The mechanics are bad (if characters are regularly killing enemies several levels above them then levels are meaningless), the plot is predictable (, and the characters are flat.
Sorry, but I barely got through this and had to take 2 book break between starting and finishing.

I did not like the ending.
It was a clean book with very little swearing, and this is what kept the book from having a lower score. It starts out good. Later near the end the book turned into an anti hero story. The hero ended up doing bad things for the supposed greater good.

I'm not too sure about this book. It definitely has plenty of LitRPG moments without going overboard, but there was confusion and a MC that was very likeable until his mass murder of 100 people for the greater good. Way weird. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth at the end.

ruins, not runes. and for the love of god, learn the FUCKING difference between GROUND and FLOOR. If you found a halfway decent editor, you'd have a jewel of a series.

Good Read.
A LitRPG story. I enjoyed the first part of the story with the mystery and leveling up of the low powered lead. The big reveal did not do it for me. The changes were too much too soon. They were explained, but it did not do it for me.

I wasn't a big fan of it. Mostly what bothered me most was the way that the man character was so quick to make friends with people that he didn't know while making enemies with other people that he didn't know.
The MC is also immortal and its the whole amnesia thing.

A disappointing story
Straight forward story with no depth except for hinting at one. The main character is very special from the getgo, rarely struggles, easily dispatches high level characters on his own with "hidden knowledge " and yes, acquires a mysterious beautiful sidekick with a broken past.
Disappointing as this story could have been entertaining if even just a little more depth to it, or more struggle or development of the character besides leveling up his skills and DING!
Not on par with the russian LitRPGs. Too bad.
