I just finished the first book on Amazon and it was great. So now I have to jump here to continue the story. This is very well written and internally consistent story. The main character is relatable and easy to like. I look forward to seeing where this story goes 😃

I am not normally one who likes the longer action scenes. Having them for many of a chapters isn't something I can handle. The initial burst of energy as the players set their places is what gets me though. And... this story does just that. It gives the feeling of energy while not drawing it out to godless amount of words. Mixing that in with a set of moves that seemed to make sense for the character, I could see myself reading more than a bit of this.

This new writer has become my favorite LitRPG author with just two books published. They have a good sense of humor, have done a masterful job of developing the characters, and have created a storyline that that has enough variety and creativity to not feel like I've read the book a thousand times before. I also truly appreciate their attention to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. So many new authors don't take the time to edit their books, making them difficult to read. Not so here! I can't say enough good about how much I've enjoyed the first two books. I can't wait until the third is released.

Perfect from the first page. Tess has been transmigrated as a 26 year old human by a god of luck. The luck aspect is hilarious once it takes effect. Snicker. Anyway, wtf, luck, really!?!
Grammar and style: perfect score from me. Character intelligent and normal, which is good in my opinion. Story line wise so far it is quite standard, besides the luck factor, and the slight irreverence, both of which are fun. Snicker.
Typical sample paragraph (chapter 5):
Great! It looked like I’d just gained a close, life-long friend! I was confident that once we all got out of this meeting, Rock and I would go off into the woods singing kumbaya and painting each other’s toe nails, right in between whatever completely twisted and sadistic ordeals he had in stock for me in the name of “training.”
In summary: It's very well done and enjoyable from the start. Recommended!

Spider guts are not a good thing. Neither are giant spiders. I still visibly shudder when I think about what Tess had to go through—good thing she has a certain skill! However, I find this a sign of great writing, since it made me feel something, no matter how much I hated it.
Style: Descriptions and imagery are very well done, and I find myself falling into the story. You can tell that the system for stats is very well thought out, as is everything. The pacing did seem to get a little dragged down at times, and sometimes I wished the action was not so description-heavy. Other times, it was great and I loved the vivid image it painted. Very rarely, I saw some run-on sentences that I thought would be a little better with a period to break it up. But otherwise, it was great.
Story: Really enjoyed the story. We have clear goals that push it along, and the mc's progression is great to watch. First time I've seen our protagonist actually labeled as a Protagonist! Awesome for being creative with something that is common. Intro to the world via mc transmigrating was very good and left me wanting to know more about these gods who almost seem to be playing a game.
Grammar: Very solid. Saw a tiny bit of mistakes, but it never distracted from the story.
Character: Honestly, this is the first time I've actually read a litrpg with a female protag, and it was great. I sometimes start one, but they never turn out well. This one is great, and I am loving the mc! She's very fleshed out, and I love her views that clearly come through in the story. Other characters are great so far, some a little stereotypical, but I still really liked them. I also found it funny how male names are stuff like "Reach" and "Drag", or even "Rock", while the female side character's name is a nice name like "Hartha". Found that entertaining to read lol.
A great progression litrpg, with just a bit too many spiders. But isn't that part of the appeal?

This is a very stand plot so far but as I really like that plot this is great. Though I am a quick sell on random people litrpgs, especially with a female protagonist. Not just wish fulfilment people.
The writing is good, the characters are solid and I'm interested in the plot.
My only concerns for the future are it's moving at a quicker pace than I would like. Certainly worth reading

Love the characters and the story. Appreciate that the author is willing to go the distance in terms of emotions and character development. Love the book, can't wait for more. This is right up your alley if you are a fan of fantasy and litrpg books.
The review has to be 50 words long.

So far this novel can be described as competently done Isekai LitRPG, nothing truly groundbreaking, but well written, with few to none grammar mistakes, an not excessively introducing system, the Author seems to know where he wants to take the plot and the MC, although seemingly being set up to become powerful, is not absurdly OP to the point of robbing the story of any tension. In all, I recomend this story to fans of the genre.

With a 30 min break at around chap 14 for lunch included... Literally couldn't put it down except to eat and even then. This is a GREAT story. The pacing seems almost perfect but just a teeny bit fast, like 115% speed as opposed to 100% but I like it as it means more happened in these 20 chapters than many other stories do in 30. Keep it up!!

So far, this novel may be classified as a decently executed Isekai LitRPG, nothing genuinely new, but neatly written with few to no grammar errors. A system that isn't overly introducing. Despite appearing to be set up to grow powerful, the MC isn't excessively OP to the point of robbing the story of any tension. Overall, I believe fans of the genre would appreciate this novel.
