Awesome book 2 from a popular series!

I was a huge fan of book 1 and I was so excited to see this come out. This series really blew up this year and has been killing it. I wasn't disappointed. It entertained me from start to finish. The narrators were awesome too.

Love it

this is an incredible and enjoyable listen. yes the story remains with most gamelit tropes in the sense of an individual with over the top power who always achieves victory because of some convenient plot device or whatever. Yet that isn't the driving point in this adventure. Nate continues to resist the "hero's call" and aims to advance his own skills and desires. I'm constantly looking forward to how he will avoid revealing his strengths each time. the fact that his chosen goal is almost actively restrained by the system makes his progress, even the slightest, something very interesting and never feels like guarantee. Honestly his struggles to achieve his personal goals is as exciting as most boss fights I've watched. maybe there is even a lesson buried inside this story, something about not letting the world dictate your outcomes... or maybe I'm childish.

Just AMAZING!

Loved this book and this series.
It's a great continuation of the story.
Usually when a character is so over powered, the story has trouble retaining my interest because you pretty much know what's going to happen and how. Not with this guy.
I love the characters, the world and the narrating.
If you love LitRPG you are going to love this book.

Awesome sequel

The audio for book two is now out obviously and I am blazing my way through it. The narration team is still relatively new to me, but I think they have delivered a phenomenal performance. I actually left a review on the eBook version of this volume. I'm just going to go ahead and copy and paste it below so that you've got my unfiltered feelings from when I finished the story the first time around. As of the time of this review book three is available in eBook form and I'm about 60% of the way through. I kind of put that on pause because I wanted to go back and enjoy the audio book. Also what I found out is that the gentleman author has a Patreon and already has several chapters of book four up and available. With that I hope you help make this series a success and enjoy it as much as I do.

Right up front I'm going to say that I recommend this series to anybody reading this review. When it comes to a sequel, I'm looking for everything that made the first book worth reading and then some. I'm glad to say that this the second volume was exactly that. I am not an anime fan. There are some important people in my life who enjoy it and have tried to get me interested in it but with literally only four successes I am happy to announce a fifth one. That would be this one. I really did enjoy the story and it's over the top humorous nature. Our hero is still reluctant to become a hero and despite his best-efforts excitement continues to find him. He is still endeavoring to raise the letter rank of his shop at the beginning of this book and the rank of the town at the end of this book. This is the first series that I have read by this author. Volume one I actually listen to the newly released audiobook and could not wait for the sequel to get the same treatment. After binging the two volumes in 3 days I find myself dying of anticipation for volume three. While I waste away waiting, I will simply say Well done to everybody who's had a hand in bringing this book to us, the Amazon readers and I can't wait for what comes next.

A truly entertaining story!

I bought the first book, not knowing what I’d find, and what I found is a story that I hope spans many more books! This is very fun story laced with lots of humor. I would love to see this story turned into an anime.

really good

all I can say is that it's worth the credit. the story was interesting and well paced and the story is moving forward. Get it you won't regret it.

really solid Isekai series

narrator is doing a great job in this series ,solid Isekai LitRPG read

this is extra required text

Ehhhhhh

This book is just ok. The MC is way overpowered and just handed things for nothing, but at the same time, he keeps fighting the most op people in the world in this small town in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't have any real trouble or even character progression. Everything he gets is just given to him on a silver platter. I honesty done with the series, there is just no real struggle or even good relationships. I am sorry to say this because he probably worked really hard on this, but it's just not good.
