Fun, addictive, and kept fresh with new 'mechanics', this is a great follow-up to the first novel. The LitRPG mechanics are fun and not overbearing, but can wear a bit thin. I liked the direction the story moved in, but unlike the first book it did feel like it lost a bit of momentum in the middle third, but it picked up by the end.

The relationships between characters are given a little more time to shine here, and there's a bit of depth, but this is very much a popcorn series and you're either going to love it or hate it. If the humor doesn't grab you, this might be a tough read for you. It's more hit than miss for me and I'm interested to see how far the concept can go - with a bunch more books already published.
