A path to a happy future for everyone... what will it take to enter it?
After finding out the truth about my coma and my current situation, I was shocked. Devastated. Broken. And learning that my benefactor could be my enemy certainly didn't help. But a certain Goddess tells me that there's hope. That I can give back Alex what's rightfully his. And earn a second chance at becoming my real self. It won't be easy, but nothing is when you're...
Left Out by the System.
***
A journey to the Steel Rank is waiting, a journey to enter the path of Race Evolution. I'll meet new friends, and face new enemies, but first I have to talk to a being that can wipe out Earth on a whim. At least my Communication Skill should improve well enough, right? Right...
I enjoyed the first two books in the series. The issue is that so much time had passed.So I had forgotten the character somewhat. Getting back into it, I remember the characters just fine. The issue is that I had to constantly call out edits for misspellings and content errors. The story is rife with mcguffins. There are entirely too many powerful characters forcing the narrative. I am still interested in seeing where the story goes.But I expect better in the next books.
The story and worldbuilding is fun, and very enjoyable, but dear gods does this thing need an editor.
New words that look like typos ("Whaet"?!?), mixing up character names, even re-writing or completely ignoring previously stated System mechanics, this is a fever dream that needs some order applied.
If you can straighten it out, remembering that you have to fully deplete the Essence Field before you can cause wounds (as per book 1), or that you can't improve one of the attribute pairs more than 3 times it's partner (so a 25 in Body would set a 75 limit on Nerve, not 100), or that the training limit for humans is 75 points, not 50, etc. - basically, if you can make your writing consistent, and not keep changing things on a whim, this could be a great series.
This is the least interesting of the books, stuff happens, but a lot of it lacks urgency. The best part of the book is the pixie fight. The worst part is Lex moralizing about the need to get Alex back in charge of his body. Fine, just decide and take the steps to do that. Additionally the 2 powerful women in the book seem like after thoughts. Generally an ok book: 3 stars+1 for Amazon deciding that 3 stars is a negative review. Tom out
As the title of this review says I really enjoyed the story. It's one of the most unique takes on the LitRPG genre and the characters are refreshingly chill.
Unfortunately the editing is poor, I found a lot of missing words, misspelled words, and even wrong words used leading me to have to reread sections to figure out the author's intent through the errors. Despite those criticisms, this book is still worth picking up.
Could be a five star book if it wasn’t so poorly/lazily edited. Every grammatical, spelling, or incorrect word just really brings me out of the story. It feels like it was written but no one actually spent the time to read it once and make simple corrections.
