Review Detail of Absoloot in The Power of Ten: Sama Rantha

The author is an old hat at D&D and goes hard on the RPG elements. If you've never played table tops, or old school RPGs with ******** elements, then the beginning will be very rough. Lots of numbers, talk about modifiers, saves, Skills, and Talents. This isn't your standard LitRPG with big meaningless numbers that are just there to show progression. If you can get past all that, aren't afraid of numbers or using your googlefu to decrypt some stuff, then this story really blossoms. Combat is fun, characters are interesting, the world is well built, and MC is a true blue badass. The author loves the D&D building blocks and it shows; lots of talk of alignment (good - evil, lawful-chaotic) and it's actually meaningful (as opposed to good being a synonym with incompetent and evil being purposeless and random). A lot of the characters have particular alignments, skills or talents, that affect who they are and how they act, and they come across as appropriately eccentric at times, which is good. A character bring truly devoid of any fear, manifests in some oddities if you really think about it. Verdict: read if you can deal with heavy use of D&D acronyms and lots of numbers. It's very good.
