About this listen

Nate wants more to life than moving from town to town, hustling chess with his con-man grandfather or wagering pick-up games online. A new immersive game opens up the chance to bring in a steady paycheck. Maybe enough to convince his grandfather to stay straight. Little does he know how his actions will change his life.

A GameLit coming of age story.

a story low on action, low on stats but great at worldbuilding and npc interactions/dilemmas.

A nice gem

I enjoyed this. Different take on the genre and not filled with boring stat sheets. The plot was solid and the narration was excellent.

This was a strange but good little story.

Great story I really enjoyed it. Not you typical litrpg story either with good focus on crafting and little to no fighting. 10/10 would recommend

Great litrpg

The book is more slice of life than epic adventure with the MC being a very motivated kid. It would be a great book to relax with on holiday.

A great easy read
