About this listen
The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.
In his pursuit of power, Joe fights alongside his team, completes quests, and delves into the mysteries of his class, which he quickly discovers can be practiced only in secret. Ultimately, his goal is to complete every mission, master every ability, and learn all of the world's secrets. All he has to do is survive long enough to make that happen.

There are lots of stat sheets and percentage modifiers which would be easily and quickly digestible as a table or grid on the page but when being read to you they quickly becomes gibberishy.
The other problem is that this is set in an open world sandbox game environment where the player has lots of opportunities to expand and explore and it is quite frustrating to follow a linear path. This would make a better game than a story.
Other than that it is ok. You won't be bowled over by the plot but it has a beginning, middle and end and is engaging. If you like MMORPGs then this might be a good book for you.
Edit: Coming back to this book for a re-read after a bit more experience with the LitRPG genre I will say this book is as good as it gets. The stats sheets are comparatively quick compared to others in the genre and the plot is solid. Would definitely recommend.
Good but not groundbreaking.
