Skill Eater 2

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Magnus Grey

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

Edge will conquer the Savage Garden or die trying.

While Edge was returning from his latest adventure, Puppet Town received a quest from the System that would either help the settlement survive or seal its fate.

If they can clear a deadly dungeon packed to the brim with powerful monsters and defeat the boss lurking in the final chamber, the settlement can start producing cores for its residents, boosting their odds of overcoming the ordeals to come.

It won’t be easy. A bloodthirsty gang known as the Crimson Claws received the quest, too. Edge and his friends will find themselves locked in a race against time—forced to battle elite predators of both the monstrous and human variety as they look for a way to take down the stage-three boss looming in the distance.

Book 2 of an action packed LitRPG adventure set in a world where artifacts known as Cores let their bearers wield the planet’s magic, and where Skills grant superhuman abilities and kaiju roam the wilds. It's perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

good story and progression

the chapters can be wordy , the author says something, says it again slightly different, and again before getting to the point that was obvious 10 flowery and puffed up sentences earlier.
the story is good enough to put up with but it should be 90 chapters instead of 107 if the fluff was tamed a bit

Good story by slow start

Great sequel and looking forward to the next one. Some sections felt like page fillers as author restated the same thing as if to remind the reader in full detail of all relevant facts regarding the next upcoming plot point. Slowed down the story and made me tune out a couple times.

This one drags a little bit

The pacing is off ...too much minutia in this dungeon
This became background noise more often than i'd like. By that I mean I tuned out at times cuz the story wasn't holding my interest.
I like a lot of things about the MC, the n his lil cheat-code situation, but the storytelling gets bogged down with some unnecessary details at times n that takes away from the experience
