Hello, Author here, giving his book a biased review. I'll say again, the book is slow at the start and takes time to tension build. And the side character outshines the main character in the beginning (trust me, I planned that), though the mc starts showing his colour after the first arc. PS: the RPG elements do not appear until chapter 7 (and it's not a RPG element heavy book either. Give it a try. Thank you.

Enjoyable read, seems like a tower climbing at first but so far doesn't seem like the case. After reading the first 3 arcs, I felt the story so far was a prologue. A large chunk was dedicated to the trial/entry to the tower per se. The overall story felt like it progressed slowly overall but the pace and action within the trial made it seem fast paced. The fighting scenes were well done and didn't feel repetitive. I liked how the MC was not always the strongest nor smartest one within the group. Other members are capable of making their own actions and pulling their own weight helping each other. Not being always dependent on the MC is rare. Though the 3rd arc MC took the reins. The characters are nice and they have their own quirks. They mesh well together. Though you still have some of your stereotypical characters. Some thing I disliked is that it felt repetitive that someone is knocked unconscious or captured and needed someone to save them. Characters got separated a lot in the trial so there was a lot of pov changes not bad at all. Additionally, there are a lot of named characters most might not get enough development. Lastly, a lack of deaths. There was always danger lurking around but nobody ever dies.
Well well ...! It was actually very interesting! I'm not really used to reading Litrpg but the Diablo-like tower ... I'm sold (as a gamer, that spoke to me)! The writing is concise, precise and suits very well to the universe. I truly recommend to people to give it a try! I have to add one thing: author, you have the reverse problem of me. Sometimes, you cut the sentences too much where it should be a comma instead of a point. I think some sentences will be more impactful or meaningful. I'll keep it in my library and will definitively continue reading it! PS: I'm so sorry, I add so many comments while reading as I was reacting just in the hot of the moment :joy:
The whole concept of the story is interesting. Hidden mysteries amd secrets that have the potential to explode into an amzing storyline in the future? Count me in. The 50 floor tower did remind of a part of the comic Player Reborn, though. I like the dialogs and character interactions—they're immersive, real and flow quite well. The world building is coming together nicely, and using names that look like they belong in a fantasy-like civilization helps a lot. I look forward to reading more about Maha and getting answers to the prologue.
