Summary

What can a game clan accomplish without a castle? The answer is obvious: nothing. Therefore, the main objective of any leader in a game world is to acquire a base of operations. Finding himself in exactly this position, High Shaman Mahan, leader of the Legends of Barliona, accepts an offer from the Emperor and the Dark Lord to vanquish the army of Phantoms that has inhabited Altameda, the phantom castle. However, this seemingly ordinary quest sets in motion such a momentous chain of events that the Shaman can do nothing but resort to his intuition and act on instinct. After all, a player who is being hunted by the three top clans of the continent at once can do little else....

Rage

The rage I'd be feeling if I was Mahan, Phoenix and co would definitely be paying for their treacherous acts.

Increasingly misogynistic

I love this series, but the increasing misogyny irks me. There's a lot of strong female characters in these series, but they're all objectified by the MC. I hope this is a translation error and not the actual views of the MC.
The narrator is amazing!

The Best performed audio book I've heard.

I have over 300 audible titles and I have to say that the narration and performance of this book is one of the best I've heard. It's a compelling universe with a great story and awesome characters. I can't wait for a sequel.
