cliffhanger ending, insane reality show, etc makes it not worth it

The concept sounded interesting until you get to the reality show. It makes zero sense as a show, but that is about par for the world building. It is essentially Maze Runner with werewolves. Major disappointment made worse by the fact the book just ends in a cliffhanger. Just say no to cliffhangers.

Mixed bag

The first half of the book started off well, but around the halfway point the story changed. There were weird skips from the end of a chapter to the start of the next. The story just seemed to lose its way so much so it felt like two different books.

Entertaining and charming read

I stumbled across this and figured I would give it a shot. Overall it was well done and worth the read. I wish the ending had been pushed out just a few more pages since it made sense but felt a bit abrupt in the moment. I look forward to checking out the author's other work.

enjoyable but lonely

While book covers many of the common academy tropes, it was enjoyable. The MC is a completely solo MC though so the school feels a bit empty since there is almost no interaction between the MC and the other students other than for three or four and one quickly disappears after a single encounter.

overall enjoyable

The book was entertaining, but definitely needs another editing pass or two. The story is presented in the first person present tense, but starting with the first chapter doesn't seem to stick to it. The narrative constantly shifts from present to past tense even in the same sentence though this settles somewhat as the book goes on, and later in the book even shifts from first to third person in the same sentence. This at times leads to some confusion about who or what is actually being mentioned.

I will definitely give a sequel a try.

good read

Longer than book 1 but still on the shorter side. I look forward to book 3 and hopefully the wait won't be as long.

fun read

This was a fun read and hope the series continues in the future. We need more adventures of Jacob and Rachel.

just as entertaining as the first two

This really is a fun series and nice to know there are plenty more on the way. I look forward to reading book 4.

good read

This was entertaining. It is longer than most books in the genre, but I look forward to book 2. I am happy to see it will be a series. I was worried it would be a one shot.

fun first start

Read this on a whim and wasn't disappointed. In the future hopefully the author can include more often who is speaking. At times it is easy to lose track if you get interrupted or pick the book up mid conversation. I look forward to the next book hopefully sooner rather than later.

Not bad but has some issues and needs another pass

The story wasn't bad, but some of the English is rough. I don't know if this is translated or if English just is the author's second language. There is some odd phrasing and slightly incorrect word choices or tense. For example own is used a lot when it should be owe and resume when it should be summary or something else. I am also not sure who the cover is supposed to be.

A good start to a new series

I quite enjoyed this. It feels more slice of life and fun with no need for the MC to save the world yet again. I look forward to book 2.

interesting debut

I stumbled across this book and took a chance. I am glad I did. The MC is a bit on the extreme side, but still entertaining to read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

enjoyable read

This was another fun read in the series. Hopefully there are many more on the way sooner rather than later.

hopefully more to come

I enjoyed this almost as much as trader Jim. Hopefully more books will come and it won't be a one shot.

great start to a new series

I absolutely loved this book and can't wait for the next one. A great mix of cultivation and litrpg more focused on implementation over meditation.

just as good as the first

Fun story with more adventure than beasts this time. Hope we see more beast empathy use in the future. I look forward to book 3.

great start with only one complaint

In some ways it is a great ending and makes perfect sense, but in another I think it takes away from what was a great book. It sets up well for the next book. Book 2 is already up for preorder, but I haven't checked the actual release date to know how long the wait will be.

great start to a new series

I really enjoyed this start and look forward to the sequels. I never knew how much I wanted to read a good beast tamer story that isn't just another monster catcher knock off.

great series. sad to see it end

Here is to hoping we see more adventures in this universe with crossovers from the likes of Marc and the rest.

Great start

The pov shifts early on were a bit jarring but this settled down by the middle of the book. I overall enjoyed the first book and hope to read more.

The Vampire story you never knew you wanted

Entertaining start to a new series. I look forward to reading more in the future hopefully sooner rather than later.

Excellent start

Great first book in a new cultivation series. I wasn't the biggest fan of the POV shift in the middle of the book, but only because I wanted more of the MC. The later POV shifts I enjoyed.

sad to see it end

Great and enjoyable series. I just wish it had kept going. Hopefully we will see a return in the future.

An emotional ride

This was a solid follow up to the first book and a satisfactory ending. I do hope there is more in the future though since it feels in some ways the story could continue.
