This was awesome. I love coming across LitRPG books with female main characters. Strong, smart and badass characters. Zera Ballthorne is all sorts of awesome.
BONUS! There may be a FEMALE love interest in Zera's future and I am all for it! YAY!!

This series was very interesting. It felt as if I was playing a character in DnD or Pathfinder but as solo story. The monsters where creative and you definitely get the sense that the world/game may be out to get this young lady. It was a very fast paced book which I like in my adventure books, there are still a lot of questions about the world she came from and what the importance is of this game but I feel those will get answered in the next book. What you really do feel in this book is Zera's journey she knows next to nothing about this world and you are forced to figure it out with her. Also, I am interested in where Cordelia is going as a character and my man Mylar.

I've read several end of the world scenarios where folks were uploaded to continue their existence. I've even read stories where uploading was performed to while away the time during interstellar flights. This story though beats most of those hands down. Absolutely loved this story, and it appears the next one will just continue the events in this book, and I fully intend to read the rest of the series, because this is a (somewhat) unique approach to the genre, and I find it refreshing.
If you're a scifi fan, this probably won't appeal to you on a scifi level, since their predicament is only mentioned to provide background to the story, but this means, LitRPG fans can enjoy the story without being scifi fans, and while that's kind of sad (I mean, who doesn't love a good scifi romp?), it does allow a wider audience to enjoy the story. I'm looking forward to seeing how the main character handles the next piece of the story.

Interesting
This is solid. Quickly into the ‘game’ (thank you!) and getting things done. I enjoyed the MC barely surviving and making a virtue out of a vice.
There is a point where I feel the narrative went awry. First, the sudden sexual moment felt too abrupt and not well handled. The secondary character acted in ways not really supported in the text. That needed more development.
Second, the remainder of the story all felt too rushed. The MC reacted to the sex talk, then bing-bang-boom now they are head of the royal guard, the end.
The MCs reaction was true to character; it was the supporting cast and narrative that felt thin.
Going to buy the next book. There’s your recommendation.

Great first book
This was a great story with a strong female lead that is hard to find. I can't wait until the next book comes out.
