Welcome to Litsy!

How's everyone's 2025 bracket coming along? Ever have multiple books in the same series end up competing against each other?

So far, the two LitRPGs I‘ve tried were a bust. Hopefully this latest listen can redeem the genre for me. You would think a gamer who loves playing RPGs and reading fantasy would take to it immediately, but so far it hasn‘t worked for me.

While this was still a fun adventure, much of the character magic was gone as the author pivoted to a new region. There is a nod to some favorite characters but they never take center stage. This isn‘t as funny or as satisfying. For a 500 page book, it ended abruptly.

When the current state of the world gets you down, you hit your local bookstore and get different worlds to escape into. #bookhaul

Skippy, the alien beer can, as usual, steals the show.

I have finished this final book in the Legends of the First Empire series! It was overall a very satisfying conclusion, though very sad near the end. Also there are a few loose threads not wrapped up. This is a very traditional epic fantasy, but unlike many, the books aren‘t obscenely long. 4⭐️

Secret Project #5 🥳 Now I just need to find space on my shelves for it 😬

Not my first LITRPG but a series definitely worth picking up. I am using audible for my hour work commute but the story has had me wanting to listen to it almost any chance I can.

A solid installment, though it definitely feels like a middle book and a little long/repetitive at times. It is still great to be back with these characters, though I am very concerned about their well being at the end of this book. 4⭐️
