*Note: There are minor formatting issues noted: A persistent grey background, and sometimes heavily shrunken tables. The author has said he’s fixed it, but the corrections may not have pushed to everyone.

This is a pretty good slice of life story about a guy accidentally summoned to a RPG game world to partake in a game of some trapped gods. That last part doesn’t really come into play in book 1 but is setup for the series. This novel is mostly about how the main character (MC) survives on this hostile world, figures out best to use the RPG progression system, and levels. He is dropped in hostile territory, starts out at level 1, but has to figure out a way to beat monsters that are level 7 and higher.

The game mechanics in the story are pretty detailed and there are lots of notifications, character sheets, spell descriptions, item descriptions, and loads of info about the game mechanics. Even more important, the author does a good job of describing the MCs reasoning for choosing one power over another that gives insight into his gaming choices and preferred play-style.

The only real minor complaints about the story: 1) It takes an awfully long time to get to the RPG game world. The main character (MC) doesn’t get there till about the 30% mark. Everything prior to that is either setup of the premise or details about character creation. 2) The author introduces a lot of characters in cut away from the MCs story. But most of those characters aren’t ever seen again, at least in book 1. They may be developed later in the series, but here they just feel a bit abandoned. Neither issue ruins the story or anything though.

Overall, a fairly fun slice of life story about a guy dropped into an RPG world and seeing how he survives.

Score: 7.4 out of 10

Crota The Gods' Game Volume I An epic fantasy LitRPG and GameLit novel eBook Rohan M Vider Reviews

A guy dies and is reincarnated into a gamelit world were the gods use their champions to conquer. None of the gods chose the MC so they make him a one of a kind free agent player. They send him to the most dangerous place and are surprised he makes it to level 🔟. Good entertaining fast pace action packed story.
A great read, one perfect to kill a few hours. Interesting premise of a God’s prison. My weaknesses on this book were how technical it was, and the seemingly slow ascent of the crafting.
I found the story well written, and the premise quite original.
It is not the only book bringing game mechanics into real life, but the way it does it was definitely quite original.

Good world building for such a short book. The gods, in particular, are quite interesting. And I definitely found Kyran, the main character, quite relatable. Instead of whining, he tries to get the best of a bad situation.
The status lists could be reduced a bit, in my opinion. But they didn't detract much from the overall story.

The ending on the other hand.... cruel, just cruel!! When's the next volume coming out?!?
It took me less than 3 hours to finish this book, but I loved it the entire time. Will be getting the next book when it comes out.
I hope it will be longer
I lost the gist story due to all the details. Lost in the minutiae... lost lost lost lost darn word count anyway.
Loved the book. Only reason it did not get 5 stars is the filled. Too many star pages, not as bad as some but still too much. That would have been ok but the last 9% of the book has stats and definitions. Upsetting because I wanted the story to continue.
Some of the comments are put off by the statistics posting. Well, this is LitRPG, a story where statistics are basically central to the story.

**Spoilers**

On the plus side, the author did an excellent job bringing the character up from 0-10. The character wasn't Ultimate with the Awesome Sword of Awesomeness, and what I found truly delightful was the utter lack of grammar issues. Too often gamers that think they can write will set up something and wonder why the world shuns their efforts -- having the pride and decency to invest in proper English is a boon to the reader that cannot be underestimated.

The worldbuilding is pretty good, sort of a combination between The Land series (by Aleron Kong) and the Emerilia series (by Michael Chatfield). Good stat balancing, excellent design of realm, and a fair introduction; if somewhat cliche. However, things become cliche because they work.

Negatives would include brevity in the introduction; it's very short for a beginning piece, and seems added as a well-worked-upon afterthought. The character of Sara is ... key. That much can be told, but barely developed outside of maybe three paragraphs, one of which lacks her inclusion entirely. The Overseer figure reminds me a great deal of the Emerilia series, albeit with a more impersonal approach.

Overall, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5, but since it's the first essay into the art, I'll round up. Welcome to the party Mr. Vider; hope you can be followed soon!
