  Lets start with the overview:
  I love it.  Perfect mix of lighthearted fun, grown up character with minimal complications, and progression.  The world building is AWESOME.   Some reviews pick at the MC's choices, but I think if anything this dude is written very well, reacting like a grown up guy would.  Sure, he isnt a super genius, but he takes the time to google, lol.
  Style: The general feeling of the piece as created by the author's word choice, literary devices, and unique way of writing.
  5/5 < Just fun bublegum.  No "mental breakdowns" that take 5 chapters to resolve, just a man working his way through a crazy situation with a positive attitude and some excitement.
  Story: Plot development and pacing (i.e., how well a story is put together).
  5/5 World building is so cool.  Its a great idea I havent seen before, and lends itself to some great stories.  Given the way summoning works, you would think the low stakes (at this time) would lead to it being somewhat boring to see what happens each time, but instead, the progression aspect adds just enough pressure to make each adventure exciting!
  Grammar: The technical aspects of the writing, including spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  4.5/5 < Easily readable, good word choice, a typo here or there that is completely acceptable.
  Character: The characters in the story, how well they are depicted, how realistic and three-dimensional they are. This applies to both main and side characters.
  4.5/5 < The side characters are currently very flat, but entertaining in their own way.  I actually think this is GOOD for the early stages of a story.  There is a wide cast that could be developed, but we are still getting to know the MC and the world.  So many fictions nowadays feel like they have to make every character have this insanely complex backstory that we must dive into as soon as we meet them... or some dark hidden secret.  Some people are just, you know, dojo gym owners who want to make some money teaching people how to f

  I really like the pacing of the story. Most of the summonings are quick, bite sized adventures. It keeps the story fresh without feeling rushed. At the same time, you get glimpses of a larger plot unfolding in the background. I can't wait to keep reading. In fact, I think I'll go do that now.

  I found this series on Amazon and have listened to five books on audible. It's an amazing series very cool concept very good characters very good world building. Absolutely amazing stuff highly recommend and the use of multiple magic systems and the summoning system just wow. I'm looking forward to continuing and audible but I had to come here and read because the end of book 5 was too much of a cliffhanger and I couldn't wait until April to find out what happened LOL even though I already pre-ordered the book

  The author is very experienced (his other books are some of my favorites! Hi Dean!) and this work is very well done. It's engaging and a neat little world he's made. I like its unique elements and it's pointing towards a greater plot. We'll see where that goes.
  Very few errors, lots of great fight scenes, and things make sense. Very much worth reading!

  I read a lot of LITRPG! I really only read litrpg with an occasional urban fantasy tossed in. This is one of the best story lines I have read in a long time. Sure there will be parts that I say come on already, but you'll have that in almost any book. You need to plow through the tedious stuff to get to the good in any book. Some of that tedious stuff normally is a set up to the good. Any way this book has a lot of room to grow and I am excited to see where it goes.

  I really do like this story a lot conceptually. There are some moments that are truly moving and poignant, too. However, I won't lie, I do find that some parts, like the current arc as I write this review, can drag on infinitely. Or at least it feels like it. However, the story overall is good enough to warrant a great score.

  I've been binge reading and now I'm waiting for more chapters.
  The store is well written and very engaging. The troph is innovative and imaginative. There is a lot of room for growth without getting stale or repetitive.
  I think its has a lot of room for growth because it has an imaginative overarching story covering the MC real life on Earth with believable problems with which he's dealing with in believable ways. With the plotline this author is writing, it lives room for almost infinite subplot lines about anything from single chapter fetch quests or magic education class to multiple chapter battles. All while maintaining a believable continuity.
  Gotta say, its pretty impressive.
  As someone that has trouble keeping track of multiple characters, I appreciate the author keeping the number of characters limited. So saying, the characters are well written likeable and easy to get invested in. The gnome names are taking a little effort to keep track of but I think its a deliberate plot device and intentionally humorous.
  I have no complaints about grammer. I have not noticed any typos, misspelled words or confusing sentences or paragraphs.
  Overall, I've really enjoyed this work and I highly recommend it for a fun light read. I know I'm going to be following and waiting patiently for every new chapter.

  The story is pretty fun and entertaining so far! I'm excited to see where it goes! The characters are unique in use and so is the story. The world building is just vague enough to put ourselves into the shoes of the character without beating us over the head with exposition. Thanks for "summoning" it up for us! Pun totally intended.

  story is interesting  but rat race times two. not only being at the whim of the system but the dismisive status of a construct imitating "real" beings. needless to say there is growth potential but is autonomy and agency  really an expression of free will? - I have to get thies to 50 words so I am typing more

  Good stuff, the premise is simple but enjoyable. I didnt give 5 stars just cause the novel is still new and I don't know how it will go from here so I didn't see fair given full points.
  Also, chapters feel short but I think that is my fault for enjoying it and reading like it was a competition.
