Save Point #2
Reload
Now that the litRPG world of the Citadel has chewed Adam up and spat him out, he’s right back at his original Save Point.
Are things better? Maybe. Maybe not. For one thing, he's still got brain cancer. For another, he’s in trouble for breaking the rules last time. As punishment, he’ll have to mentor the Colony - an outnumbered race of misfit mushrooms on the losing side of a battle for their home planet.
Adam’s new allies only stand a chance if he can unite the two sides of his broken Faction, but first they’ll have to show him that some things are worth -not- resetting.

Ughhh
Could not finish it. This is really a grimdark story. The main antagonist are pure evil. The main character is a narcissist. I have enough drama in my life. I don't need to read about jerks being a jerk the whole time.

Keep loving it
The ideas in this book are a fun story every time. I greatly enjoyed book 2, a continuation of both the main plot - as well as a fun introduction to concepts that give plot elements of the first book more meaning.
This story is cumulative- in a good way - and book 3 will be interested based on what has been set up in books 1 & 2.
Give this book a read if you enjoy science fiction elements, GameLit, and a protagonist who does his best to annoy his enemies to death.

I enjoyed this (although not as much as the first) but it was nice to return to a story that I had all but forgotten. Once again, we enter a galaxy-wide battleground with strange races and a good hearted hero that joins many factions into cooperation and forward progress. Humanity's fate is tied to a battle royale and we just just squeaked through in being classified as a sentient worthy species. From there, it's up to a bunch of ill-informed, unorganized, cranky misfits to represent the hood in space.
What sounds like a set-up to the worst book ever somehow...works? I liked it. The alien-building is crazy and somehow endearing. The tower is strange and challenging. Yet, you'd expect in two volumes that the bigger story arc would have reached forward more. It's the lack of progress that reduced me from the first volume's four star rating to this one's three. I want fewer chapters and more progress in the plot.

4 vs 5 stars...maybe 4.5 rounded up.
Trying to decide why I am a bit frustrated with this book. I think it is because the book feels like a tangent in terms do plot line.
However, it should not. While the path to the end games doesn’t seem closer, you can see how the MC continues matures. You can seem the inklings of a true leader. On top of that, the world is fleshed out some more.
You don’t have a much litrpg elements. Skill dev a growth are light, but I still think it is a worthwhile trade off.
Overall, it was really quite fun.

Original and well done
I loved the book, Siege seems to be good at taking original approaches to his writing and it's refreshing. I expected it to be a "reload" of the last book and was completely wrong new characters and aliens with a distinctly alien view that adds to the experience. It didn't feel rushed like some unlimited books, and I look forward to the next in the series.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was kind of an odd twist from what I expected after the end of the first one, but that's what makes it interesting. If you read the first one and liked it, you'll enjoy this one to be sure. If you haven't read the first one, you might manage to enjoy this one as well, though you'll miss some of the more elusive commentary scattered throughout the book. All and all though, it was an excellent second installment, and I for one look forward to more.

Decent Game lit not litrpg.
This is one of the few decent gaminglit series. Most are just game worlds which actually are lit RPG where the world is not real like VR, but with a gamelit the world is real and the logic behind the game like mechanics is somewhat explained easier to accept as the real world

Book two
Mistakes: I found only three.
Plot: Basically a do over. Well done without having to repeat book one.
Characters: I'm enjoying watching the MC grow as a person even as he is slowly dieing.
8/10

Tired of medival settings for LitRPG? Try this!
Very original story line with an obnoxious main character you can't help liking. Looking forward to Book 3. Excellent characterization. Lots of good science.

Typos but great story
There were lots of typos but I loved this book as much as the last. I want the next one soon so don’t care if that one has typos too. I can’t seem to be able to submit my review.

Relentless
The non-stop action and compelling characters, not to mention the exploration of nonhuman culture, makes this a fantastic read. I literally could not stop from start to finish.

The defining character trait of the protagonist is that he's a arsehole. It's like the author brainstormed it and came up with just "arsehole" circled and underlined with the only other bubble being a teeny tiny one with "likes aliens". It just gets tiresome.

Round 2 fight
A great continuation that felt too short. One of those immersive books where you go, huh. It's over? Thinking I'll read them all when the next book comes out.

Really enjoyed it
This continues being a very interesting story and one I’m looking forward to continuing once the author writes more, hopefully soon.

Time Hustle
Fun times. Enjoy this series concept for the most part. The MC can be a little annoying but the story keeps you engaged.

Great series
Really excited that the 2nd book came out so quickly. Despite a lack of sleep, nearly finished it in one sitting.

Better than First
This story of a guy with cancer going to a galactic war game arena is a very entertaining fast paced action story.

2.5 Stars, sadly not as good as the first book and I did not really enjoy the ending...
