I was surprised
When I heard "father of LitRPG" and some of the other things I've heard about the author I was a bit skeptical. I read the free sample. Still skeptical. When I saw a promo in the back of another fantastic (but too short) series, Divine Dungeon, and that this book happened to be free that day (July 1st, 2017), I figured "what the hell? What have I got to lose?"
I need to stop being such a cynic sometimes...
This book was AMAZING. Great flow, great humor, lots of fun references (loved that Firefly callback), exciting but not at a breakneck speed so that we actually got some story, and the fact that we didn't always win the first time through. I really enjoy seeing challenges overcome in a semi-realistic manner.
Also helps I was really in the mood for an ARPG with some town building mechanics and this book scratched that itch (except that I want to play this book now).
Diving into book 2 now...

I'm a little late to the party but I actually just bought the audio book so my wife can listen to it while driving. I will not argue, Nick is amazing at what he does, but I don't personally need it.
Would definitely recommend the audio for people that like audiobooks.
