I am a growing fan of these litRPG books! Each one I have read has had an interesting way that they enter into these "realms" of characters that may or may not be real (possibly computer creations) and a newbie that must learn to survive and get stronger by leveling up. Nick is quite the likable character who's soul/mind is sucked into a newly found artifact that was found on a dead world. I like that the real world stuff is a space station and how there is much excitement/danger occurring out there as well as in the land of Yensere (which has a scary black sun and on the edge of doomsday). This is a great flowing narrative which was hard to put down. It is not too stat heavy though it does show updates usually after a battle. The Cataloger is great, I love the misunderstandings and it adds a lightness when needed, also the sword. :) Nick also has his quips but takes his role seriously once he knows what the stakes are and with Frost to help and the addition of Violette, I can see that this is going to be a great series and I need the next book right now after that ending!
