Interesting plot device. Low key, no fighting

This is not like all the other dropped in a RPG world by a higher power. No battles, no broken power or unlimited skill access. This is a story of a business tycoon in a world where he can relive his ambition to build another financial empire.
Game logic and plot structure like SIM City or Civilization than a Dungeon Crawler or Fate.

So if you like the business aspect of world building, which I have to be honest... Not so much an unique buildings or heavy village design layout plot. As he asks advisors constantly on where to go next, then uses the "Art of the Deal" negotiation and pyschology from previous life to get what he wants.

Pretty relaxes paced too, never feel any pressure or danger for the MC. But I always feel that the writer is only a plot twist or concept away from a interestingly unique story into an amazingly engrossing story.

Will buy next book in hopes the author improves on this story plot and actually creates the great book so clearly hinted at for a world builder fan.

World builders will love thrill seekers won't

This book is All about world building MC doesn't have any powers worth noting, but if you enjoy seeing a village come together then you will like it.
The MC is basically playing Sims on a village scale.
it fits my niche so I loved it.

Well…..it’s world building

I actually love this book. Yeah maybe the MC has stuff workout more than it should but I like the world building. But it is without all the lame stuff like the bossy female with a horrible attitude just because. Or finding your inner strength right before defeat and then saving the day with new found power. So yeah this book has some issues but I loved it.

Surprisingly Good

Wish they had a publisher pack as the books are so short and I won’t spend credits on a 6 or 7 hour book.

good but could use some more

i enjoyed the story, just wish they would build the world more and move away from game mechanics to a little more fantasy.

Really enjoyed the audiobook, but map needed.

I really enjoyed the narrator and his voice fits perfectly with the character. I liked the pacing, but I did find it confusing with the different mentions of cities. I wish I was able to get a map with the purchase of this audiobook to download elsewhere.

so pretty good

the reader did an alright job and I do love civ games so this was an excellent framing device, but what I loved most was that our hero was not magically awesome he had decades of experience to draw on and was give a new lease with his youthful body are things I would like to be different sure but over all I'm good with it looking forward to more
