I say frustratingly good because of how much Bob has to bumble in the dark trying to figure out what to do even though it seems from our perspective that he has all the tools he needs. It's Litrpg done right. No more 'brrrr numbers go up'. The 2 main characters are extremely well written. At no point does the dog not act exactly how a dog would, no matter how much the world seems to have changedI truly envy the creativity of Bob's mind sometimes (and therefore the author's). The self deprecating internal monologues, wry humour, sassy inner voices and the colourful personalities he imagines all make this story an excellent read. Nothing is too over the top or seems as if it's trying too hard.It's not all humour however. Scenes with tension are masterfully written, there's a meaty plot you can sink your teeth into, lots of points where you go 'Ohhh, so that's what that was earlier', and no overt expositioning. The writing really flows too. Minor errors, if any, are easily forgivable (and are almost all corrected quickly anyway)All in all, I would recommend this 100% to anyone I know who takes LitRPG too seriously. Great stuff.

The premise is handled in a very entertaining way and I quite enjoy the system messages and how they're formatted.The writing is excellent and humorous, and I absolutely love the part where Bob completely covers himself in mud just to get a "trivial bonus" to his stats, lol.This is an novel that's totally being slept on. Read it and have a laugh. It's genuinely so much fun.Also:George is the goodest good boy.

I usually never read non-popular Royal Road stories - the risk to reward ratio is too high and chances that I'll find something good are so low I don't bother.However, I saw an ad about this book, praising one chapter and it got me intrigued. The start was alright, the prose a little too quirky and the protagonist infuriatingly incompetent. The story was not amazing but it still kept my interest.Then, everything changed after Chapter 19. I was hooked. It was honestly incredible, some of the best build up and writing I've read, I still cherish it a few months later. I don't want to hype it up but give this story a try, at least until Chapter 19 and then you'll know.

Our whimsical protagonist, aptly namedBob, finds himself ensnared in a delightful blend of humor and adventure within a fantastical world. After an unexpectedly rough start, Bob stumbles into a series of absurd predicaments, navigating a narrative brimming with witty inner monologues and playful tones. It’s akin to watching a charming, if somewhat disheveled, hero flounder through a comedy of errors. I loved the satirical tone.Bob’s earnest attempts to overcome these trials add a layer of charm, making his struggles both endearing and amusing. His resilience shines through, even as he tackles increasingly ridiculous challenges with a blend of determination and humor. While the pacing may feel a little draggy at times, it’s more than compensated for by the unique storytelling style employed by the author, who demonstrates a masterful command of the English language. The writing style may also be a little abstract for some readers, but its not overly complicated as well. The various random yet amusing analogies and references add a flavorful touch to the story. Grammar too has no issues.Overall, this story offers a fun and imaginative journey, with its blend of humor, heart and a rootable protagonist ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a unique, comedic twist on a classic adventure tale, this story is the one for you.

Genuinely incredibly book, it's hard to find quality writing on this app, love the way they magic system works so far, and George not being incompetent (somehow understanding bob) is wonderful, Bob also just feels like a real person and engenders more than a little sympathy for his unfortunate circumstances

I find this story quite frustrating. MC portrays the lack of wisdom vibe really well.definitely a good read , Though i suspect I would struggle to continue on a chapter per day basis.Is there such a thing as annoyingly well written?my personal least favourite part ( common in lit RPG) is ..... FFS loot the bodys!

Overall - The quiet humor in this story is just phenomenal! Every chapter has something that sneaks up on you. It is sometimes difficult to tell where something is going from just a few chapters, but the author certainly makes you want to find out.Style - This is not fast-paced like a lot of Isekai stories, with action scenes pummeling you off the bat, but that is something that works to the author’s advantage. The upcoming progression of it is made clear at the start and there are no “immediately powerful” elements to break the realistic themes. The author sprinkles humor throughout the story to keep the reader engaged.Story - Story starts off strong with a protagost that is pretty done with the perils of the life he had built (all but George, of course!) It is ridiculous at times in the most pleasant ways, and it is clear that the author has a whole adventure in mind that might even mirrors the MC’s favorite book? Maybe? That is my hope, as Bob pulls quite a bit of wisdom from it on his journey.Grammar - I wish I could give an extra star here for the way the author structures their sentences. I saw no issues, but I am also not too big of an authority on this.Characters - Our main character, George… I mean Bob, is believe relatable and believable. Right off, his strategy with the first enemy he facs is true to someone having lived a normal like such as his. He feels, he learns, and he spends a questionable amount of time naked and covered in mud.

Okay, this is a review for George. Knows Best which is a lit RPG in the style of the contemporary style. I think that this is a very strong grammar base, which is why I'm willing to give it a 5 out of five for grammar. There were no issues there with grammar and I think that the author knows what they're doing and is just toying with us by pretending that he doesn't. We know what you're doing, George. We know.Stylistically this is in the normal Canon and I had no problems with it. I would say that having red texts might be a drawback if you had readers that were red green blinds. But otherwise I think that it's fine. I would suggest to the author to change it to Blue text boxes cuz that's my preference and that's the predominant thing on Royal Road but that is a personal preference I'm not going to knock it down for that. As well, this has a strong voice and a strong third person limited POV. I'm a proponent of a strong third-person limited POV. It lets you describe things really well without being inside the person's head, so there's some back and forth there.Character again. This is a five out of five. I found myself drawn to this character, especially in the before time because I could relate to him personally. Now that is really good because sometimes I can relate to a character who's very far off from what I am. And sometimes I can relate to a character who's very close to what I am, in terms of identity.This character Bridges the Gap there and I like how he approaches a problem.And finally story which is a good 5 out of 5. It made sense, which is kind of all I'm looking for. More importantly, it didn't start with a wake up sequence where the person decided they didn't want to eat the breakfast cuz they were late and in the rush. Overall 5 out of five.

Loving it. Writing style is done quite well, reminiscent of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide. Character is reasonable, interesting. Story progresses well and is satisfying while not pandering. Main secondary human character took some time to really become a deeper character, but the story got there in the end. Excited to read a new book in the future!all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george, all hail george,

Good old creative use of a seemingly bizzare or weird power. I have coincidentally grew tired of the old MC is OP troupe, so this is nice, Bob is powerful and all, but his pathway there is certainly different.Honestly would have given it 5 stars, but sometimes the repetitive humour of bob being stupid or overly expanding is sometimes hilarious to me, sometimes tiresome to me. soooo, yeah
