Summary
Miles Boone is running out of time. He had one year to solve every beginner’s quest the Game offers or he faces a lifetime of slavery. Now, time is flying by and he can’t even find a safe place to play the Game. His apartment has burned down while he was in it. His secretive father won’t let him enter the Game from his home. Miles’s only choice is to enter the underbelly of society and try to win his bet from anonymous VR pods controlled by an old associate - or is that enemy? - of his father’s.
Meanwhile, the Party’s hunt for him in-Game continues. Surrounded by enemies from without and within, Miles has to keep upping his Game. His lack of a Luck stat makes it impossible for him to play like anyone else. With no luck, Miles will have to gather the strength to survive.
Gathering Strength is the second volume in the Character Development series.

Really good but no sequel yet (5-Sep-21)
This was a really fun sequel. The main character makes some stupid decisions compared to the last book but not so stupid you'll rage quit. The plot makes decent sense and is good.
There's still a lot of development and solo training which drags quite a lot compared to books with a more action based style. Although it has a fair bit of action too.
The world remains rich for a LitRPG and the narration was brilliant.
I will say that it is frustrating that the author has seemingly abandoned the series.

Too dumb to continue.
Sorry, but I stopped listening to this right after he makes a deal with the porn queen. While I really liked the first book the one thing I cannot abide is characters doing something that is insanely stupid, and doubly so when they know it is. Heck, he even makes comment he knows everyone does something foolish sometimes, and even points out to the readers that some may think he was being stupid. NO! everyone thinks you are stupid.
She is effectively offering an implant that will take some majority of his XP, make changes to his limbic system and based on his own knowledge might kill him like he knows it has done to two people, or send him homicidal like one other. It's like agreeing to play Russian roulette and not knowing how many bullets got loaded too. He knows nothing about this woman other than she had a falling out with his father, and seems to have some anger for him. He would NEVER trust so blindly, given he has major trust issue throughout the book.
Sorry, that was the last straw to me reading more. No matter what reason or how it turns out. Heck even eating the sweets was insanely stupid, and he even points out the taking candy from strangers saying. Urggggggh so disappointed he did this in what is actually one of the better LitRPG's in general.
