Sword Art Online, Book 1
4.5 stars. Classic fantasy anime. I was looking for something new to read, and took a chance on this. I don’t regret it at all. This book uses many of the classic tropes of progression fantasy: This book includes a…
Rune Seeker, Book 1
4 stars. An interesting premise, a couple of interesting twists. Instead of reading one of the books on my To Read list, I decided to pick up something new called Rune Seeker. The premise of the book is rather interesting.…
Unorthodox Farming, Books 1-2

Natural Laws Apocalypse Series, Books 1-5
4.0 stars. An interesting premise but overly simplistic and not written very well. The Natural Laws books is one of the purest examples of LitRPG. Everyone in the world gets a message in their head about the impending system that…
Warformed: Stormweaver, Books 1-2
4 stars. Lots to love in this story despite its flaws. I couldn’t put Book 1 down. It’s seriously long (Book 1 is 34 hours, Book 2 is 33 hours), but seriously good. Book 1 was incredible. It paints an…
