The story draws you in with a grand opening. Setting a grandiose atmosphere and preparing you for a mythical ride.
Then, I'm pulled into Bridges' life. An over-worked and incredibly relatable girl as she gets caught up in something she probably didn't need right now.
What's worse than working three jobs? A strict no tattoo policy, apparently.
Hah, comedic timing in the novel is on point.
I highly recommend reading it.
Story Score: 5/5
LitRPG mechanics within seem relatively straight-forward and understandable: I particularly like the descriptions that come with an opponent.
The Author makes you hit next chapter without hesitation, every chapter, and not even through cliff-hangers. I just want to know more!
Which leads nicely into:
Character Score: 5/5
Bridges is great. The voice, is great. The MC's two bosses so far suck, in a way that makes them believable.
I love both the dialogue and internal monologue. Really well done.
Grammar Score: 5/5
If I don't get stuck on an error reading - is it even an error? In all seriousness--the prose is well crafted and without obvious error.
Style Score: 5/5
Yeah. I like the way the Author's presented the novel. The way they write and how they present each chapter is consistent.
Comedy is evenly spaced and contrasts nicely with more serious sections.
In all honesty, reading the story just made me feel good. It's easy reading for good reward.
Thanks and keep writing!
