Good stuff! The world is interesting and subverts a few tropes, so it's a little less predictable than usual. The abilities, monsters, items, decisions are all meaningfully varied. There are not many decisions with obvious answers. The style of LitRPG is more D&D than MMO, which I also welcomed.
The characters and their relationships are decidedly less painful to read than is usually the case, I'm invested in their growth and they make relatively reasonable decisions without agonizing over them.
The audiobook has some tedious stat enumeration but that's common. Hopefully it improves going forward.
