!Never Do This!

Hello All.

I enjoyed the world building and action throughout the first three books, but to be honest this book takes a dive. It begins with normal pacing and intriguing situations presented. The story is initially very thought catching but it becomes difficult to follow. The somewhat pedantic restating of stats and skills that are never referenced again, or used at all was initially only done rarely; yet seems to be everywhere in this book. These errors are common among self produced prose, especially those who do not have a robust editing and or proofreading team. This is to be expected, and for me is par for the course for most, if not all Lit-Rpg.

This is not the nature of my poor rating.

***The author, after establishing the scene not once, but twice (separate worlds/realities), COMPLETELY DISCARDS 3 BOOKS OF PROGRESSION AND CHARACTER BUILDING seemingly because he couldn't figure out how to write his character into going to wizard's school. No mention of his previous character threads, nor achievements nor storylines.

It all goes "poof".

To be honest I have sat through and managed to eventually like long twisting epics with dozens of characters, to single character focused series and beyond. This is an extra step beyond that is just poorly done.

***The author, after never using it before begins to sloppily include the word "guys". Did I suddenly jump into a live twitch feed? Am I piping into a college freshmen's private chat with his raiding team before they go on their nightly jaunt? Last time I checked I was listening to an audiobook. STOP USING THE WORD GUYS.

As a reader, you not only lost me, you made me feel humiliated for investing the time to read your books in the first place.

You can do better.
