I suppose MC is "Unbound" so some of the rules wouldn't apply to him, but this is absurd. Second and final gripe (since this is getting long) i have to mention is the way he uses the "system", There's a LOT of deus ex machina stuff happening. If this novel ever saw a half competent editor he would have tossed half the novel out the window on the 1st pass. Especially since most of the volumes are around 20h long or more. I am still in awe of myself for being able to sit through it. You are exposed to 2 VOLUMES of MC grinding his levels in the wilderness, with very little dialogues, few meaningful character interactions and insane amounts of exposition and power system explanations. While the story is fun at stages, and it does work, it's also incredibly tedious and has a high bar for entry. As for the author, the story, i'll try to keep it brief, but substantial. If there's more than a couple of female characters the voices blur together to the point of sounding same-y. The only gripe i've ever had with his voice acting was the small library of his female vices. I've heard a LOT of his work and he keeps getting better. Let me just get the Performance out of the way. the writer is competent, and yeah, 2 stars is a bit harsh, but the author's sins while not many are great. Only entertaining if you switch your brain off All in all, mid purchase, not bad enough for a refund but I don't think I'll buy the other books unless gifted or have absolutely nothing else to read. Probably hadn't finished without the solid performance of Travis Baldree. It didn't make sense why it had to be that way so it felt like the author just needed a heartstring plucking moment (which, like mentioned felt forced for "plot") The narrator's performance carried the story as I had already abandoned the book early on because of how fast he was gaining skills without effort. There was also a situation which felt super forced towards the end. The story felt short, even though it was 22h+ if memory serves. No going off and getting fixated on something just because Felix wanted it, everything had a purpose and had to help towards survival. Meaning that there was no need for Felix to go off and research or figure something out as the skills and tools felt almost thrown at him with the slightest try and was soon pretty much proficient.
The story felt slightly railroaded with little to no diversions or sidetracking because of the mc's interests or intrigue. Slightly forced narrative but still a decent.
