Description
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (Hero Classics)Part of the Hero Classics series "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a

Easy reading, needs an edit pass
Format: Kindle
Bottom Line Up Front: good enough to buy sequels.
The premise of the story is set up well, pacing is overall decent (coincidentally, about real-time with the reader). The characters are simple, boiling down to one property for personality, one for motivation, and one for looks. However, they play believably against each other and there's no feeling of railroading (except one place, more on that later).
The chapter prefaces offer a nice world building method unconstrained by the first person exclusive story itself. On the other hand... Tell me the book was written during Trump-era mask mandates without saying "The book was written during Trump-era mask mandates".
Those references, while amusing now, will be dead in a few years (unlike the reference to SpaceBattles which is eternal).
Speaking of: The book could use a professional editor to fix things like "gravity thingamaBALL" being two pages later called a "gravity thingamaGRENADE" and described as a cylinder, easy to tie to. Clearly the author changed the shape for convenience but forgot to change the earlier mention (also, metal cylinders slip out of nooses. If you write an ACME 10-ton weight, shape it like a weight and be done with it ;). There were other similar niggles that I forgot now, and I saw no major plotholes... But remember: SpaceBattles forum feedback does not an editor equal.
Overall, nice way to spend sick days with 40 C fever.

Just from the beginning, I'm hyped
Format: Kindle
Just from reading the first few chapters, I'm excited. I hate having to deduct stars for non-story related issues, but this formatting is really hard to read. This is much easier to read on Neovel. I started reading it there after Amazon had recommended this book to me. I had no idea we had a web-novel to (light?-)novel pipeline in English! After the first few chapters, I bought the book here to support the author, but trying to read it is a very poor experience. The spacing and sometimes fonts are wrong and make it really hard to read, which is odd because the formatting is great on Neovel. It's almost like it was copied over into ebook using a poorly written tool that didn't properly convert various tags. The primary issue is a lack of indentation on paragraphs. There's also that the AI speaks in italics, but sometimes the italics are missing. Some edits have been made from the web novel, though they seem mostly spelling fixes. The character's point totals are significantly different in Chapter 26 of the web novel vs this book. I haven't re-read the ebook from the beginning though, so I don't know why there's such a difference. I'm not sure which one is better to read, though for some reason the author never put volumes 2 and 3 on Amazon so you'll need to read them over there anyway.
Update: As a huge fan of the series, I raised my star rating even though I still stand by the formatting issues. It's not fair to have that tarnish the content rating though. Also, of course, future volumes have continued to be published since then.

Format: Kindle
It’s got it’s issues but overall it’s fast paced, fun to read and some great lines from a snarky AI with a sense of humor

What a Great Ride
Format: Kindle
This book was a fun ride from start to finish. While not fully LitRPG, but sorta' LitRPG light based on the system that's set up, the world building makes sense and fits the story very well.
The real shining star was the character development. I felt like I knew the characters after a few lines and as the story developed, casual comments helped build a deeper web of interrelationships.
Also loved the blurbs at the start of the chapters - thought they really added to the world building and backstory in a fun way.
Can't wait to read more about Cat!

Wonderful
Format: Kindle
This was everything I was hoping for and more. Great world building, awesome characters and a mythology that just left you wanting more. Little snippets at the start of each chapter that hints at the history of the world at large while also slightly framing the content of that chapter? Spot on. My one issue, and I believe others have pointed it out, is the fact that the text is grey and not white, which can make it harder to read when you’re, say, outside. But that’s a formatting thing and has no bearing on the contents. I’ll be waiting in line to get the sequel as soon as it appears! Oh, since Amazon can be iffy about it, the LGBTQ+ tag is accurate!
