Litrpg progression fantasy with stats, levels and math.

Ruwen and his friends are going on vacation...sort of. The gang is going to rescue Lylan's brother, Dalyn, from his execution. The only way to do that though is to have a solid cover - as such Sift and Ruwen are going to be entering the Step Championships.

Okay Fractal is my absolute favourite, Rami is a close second, Sift third and I adore the Savage Seven. Honestly the first match was hilarious, the second totally epic. I was in stitches. I wish Ruwen spent more time in Shattered Sun or Black Pyramid. Either would be good. He always seems to be rushing off for something else.

I liked that this book got back to more of the individual quest rather than New Eiru. The city politics is okay in small doses but kind of tiring in large ones. On other hand the quest to save Dalyn, the subsequent Steps Championships and Rami's uncontrollable urges for mystery books was fantastic. Overlord appearing was hilarious. It was so ridiculous it was awesome. Xavier is kind of iffy. I love his disdain for Ruwen but I don't know that I really like him all that much. But he seems to make Rami happy.

The friendship between Ruwen and Sift was also great. I love the banter between them and the teasing. They help each other to better heights but they also are complete and utter troublemakers when together. Plus there's a bonus scene available on the author's website that tells exactly what happened during the book heist with Sift and the priestesses and it's hilarious. Poor Sift.

A fast paced adventure novel with heart warming friendships, lots of stats and levels and fantastic characters. 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)

The two months since Ruwen ascended have been busy. There's been adventure and betrayal, revealed secrets and surprising finds, new friends, old friends and different Realms but Ruwen is still standing and chipping away at progressing enough to compete as Uru's Champion.

I loved this book. Old friends appear. Bliz, Tremine. New friends are made. Parents are revived. There's action and adventure and more skills and abilities to be gained and to level up. It was great. I didn't love the city building and politics as much but it was what it was.

Blapy has taken Fractal under her wing and the two of them together is totally badass. Fractal is full of great ideas and unique advancements and Blapy is good at keeping him on track to actually get things done. I loved their relationship and I just wanted to see more of it. I wish Ruwen had more time to focus on Fractal but I did love that he made a point to store everything he could find to give to Fractal and help him be unique. And I adore the name Shattered Sun. Totally awesome. Actually and the tattoos.

Sift and Ruwen are hilarious. Their banter is amusing and I enjoy the two of them mocking each other. I love them almost as much as I love Rami. She's cool as. And I adore Ruwen's position as Black Pyramid Librarian. It's awesome. I wish he wasn't so busy so he could spend more time there.

An action packed read that's full of adventure, stats, levelling and humour. 4.5 stars, rounded to 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)

Ruwen's week just keeps getting worse. First he had to give up his dream of becoming a mage. Then he died for the first time before being killed again by a friend. And now he's been betrayed and trapped in the Spirit Realm with no way home. To say things are not going his way might be an understatement. But it could be worse - he could be alone. Instead he's surrounding by friends; who are also trapped.

The worldbuilding expands further in this one. There's more stats and math and a whole new system of levelling up. Yeah it was introduced in the last two books but Ruwen gets the time to focus on it in this one. It was fantastic. Ruwen is still a work in progress but I adored his stubbornness and drive to improve himself and be strong enough to fight back against the threats coming for him. Hamma kind of annoys me though. Her blaming Ruwen for her dad was a bit ridiculous. Put the blame where it belongs - with Uru. I liked getting to know Lylan and seeing her and Sift grow closer. And Sift is always awesome. I love the rest of the gang too - Fractal, Rami, Io, Blapy are hilarious.

Another great, entertaining and riveting fantasy read. 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)

Ruwen is having a terrible week. First he had to give up his dream of becoming a mage. Then he died for the first time before being killed again by a friend. Nothing seems to be going according to his plans.

But it's not all bad. He's made two friends; Hamma - a priestess of the goddess Uru and Sift - a cultivator associated with the Black Pyramid dungeon. He'd be more pleased if he wasn't also Uru's newest champion and marked for death by the other gods but he's trying to make the best of a terrible situation.

I loved this as much as the first book. This sucked me in and kept me hooked as Ruwen does his best to level up and get as strong as he can. He failed a lot and often only just manages to scrape a win but it was totally entertaining. I loved the Black Pyramid (Blapy is the best) and Sift and while Hamma wasn't my favourite she definitely brings some much needed common sense to the group. I adored Fractal and I can't wait to see how he develops his dungeon. And Rami! Rami was awesome.

A funny and entertaining read with litrpg elements, a classic fantasy quest and an endearing cast of characters. 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)
