A portal progression fantasy with litrpg elements.

Cayden Johannson is reborn in a fantasy world with magic after living on Earth. Gifted with a system, Cayden stretches the bounds of this new world and discovers what he can do.

I'm new to the litrpg/progression fantasy genre but I'm liking what I've seen so far. This was well written and engaging with lots of focus on stats and levelling. Maybe not for everyone but I really enjoyed it. It was slow to start with as the world was established but I loved Cayden's thoughts as he tried to understand where he ended up and his confusion about the system.

Elise and Tiana were fantastic too. The friendship between Cayden and Elise was perfect. They both looked out for each other and helped one another to reach their goals. I loved their thirst for knowledge - Elise's desire to map the abilities was fun. And her soul notebook! I so want one of those. Tiana was a typical younger sister - but I loved how she evolved over the course of the book. She might have got herself into trouble but she certainly works hard to get herself out of it. The rest of the characters didn't really appear or stand out until further into the book but when they do they integrate well with the existing dynamics. The plot builds over the second half, lessening a bit of the focus on levelling and more on the politics of the capital, Valtane.

A great book for those keen on litrpg with stats and power levelling and an overpowered main character. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars.… (más)
