I gave this book a try after hearing it would scratch my Mass Effect itch. The world of the story certainly does and I appreciated learning the backstory of various species as humans joined the galaxy, but the writing is overwrought and clunky at times and often the characters have very bland, rote responses to things. Overall, I am interested in continuing the series but I hope the writing gets better.

I’m conflicted on this book. It is very imaginative and I can understand why it captures people. It is very short and a breeze to get through, but it also doesn’t say particularly much. It is a thought exercise more than a fully formed journey. But definitely an existential crisis in book form!

A mostly funny and lighthearted adventure story. I thought the LitRPG aspect (whatever that is) would annoy me but it didn’t. I don’t need to keep track of the characters’ stats and can just enjoy the story. It is at times a bit too sophomoric for my taste, but the author knows what he’s doing as the MC’s distaste over the injustices he faces is made more and more apparent as time goes on. A solid adventure story even though it isn’t really a standalone novel.
