Tim's plan didn't include going toe to toe with one of the most powerful men in Promethia, but he had, and he won.

Wasn't winning supposed to make things easier?

Instead of getting to live on easy street, Tim's victory only increased his reputation as a man who could solve problems.

This time those problems had teeth.

Thankfully Tim hit level 10, and once he settled on his upgraded class their newest adventure could began in earnest.

Life in The Etheric Coast wasn't exactly what he expected, it was better. With new adventures and epic loot on the horizon, Tim was never more excited to see where his next quest would take him.

It was time for Tim to start his next adventure, and there was only one way to attack the unknown. "LeeeeeRoyyyyyyy!"

The only thing I can find at fault is the constant mental asides in the MCs head which sometimes makes it hard to follow the story. However, it’s still overall enjoyable.

Lots of mental side quests but good enough

the only real problem I have about this is the fights get over very quick.

pretty solid

Good continuation of the story, but there is a section of the story where it skips from A to C and leaves you wondering if you weren't paying attention or fell asleep. It happens around chapter 18.

Missing something?

with all of the great pop culture references one stood out as so wrong I almost stopped listening to the book. I'm guessing it's been a while. Otherwise it's a good read

someone needs to reread a great classic book

What Doug wronged you... we really get shit on enough by Hollywood already, lol. Anyway, I loved it, poor Doug... besides that, some repetitive statements which gets a bit annoying. We get it already, he cares that his family is doing well on the outside and he misses them! However, he's happy to be with his girl and new found family as well. That out of the way, I like the way this is going. However, again, the only reason I let the real world references slide is because this is a LITRPG, but this one was better, much more refined, still annoyed by some of the cliche references though. But the story its self is great!

It's really alright.
