A lot of the reasons for this the author explains by him having social anxiety, which is something many suffer from. However, I don't buy him continuing to do so. Stats change you, or should, as does experience. This is someone that spends every day facing death, someone that has changed his mental toughness in stats and skills learned, so I don't believe him carrying on with this mental fragility to talking with other people. A flawed character can make them interesting, it should not make the reader detest them. If you gain a class, then a person can only get a limited number of skills, which are not considered class skills or Soul Skills. Skill Sets count as one skill. After gaining a class, a person can gain skills from their Soul Skill ( Bone Exoskeleton, Child of the Rain). The belt is an element of the class that surrounds the Soul Space and limits it. The belt keeps the Soul Space from growing too much and only allows the classer to gain a limited number of new non-class skills. In this way, the class belt maintains the stability of the Soul Space and gives it shape. In chapter 393 Lucretia suggested that the belt could ease or completely remove the resonance of the Aether if a person tries to transfer too much of his Aether to the outside world.

The MC isn't the usual do-gooder type. He really wants to do good, but they way he chooses is to let people learn by hard trials, which comes across as a bit uncaring and callous, but serves as a more realistic take on the situation. The fact that MC might be on a spectrum suffering from social awkwardness adds a lot of reality to the character. It's a harsh world out there and the harsh outlook fits right in and sets this apart from most other books. I loved the world, the mysteries and even the progression of the Ghosthound. Sadly what this book proved was that the Ghosthound is not a good main character. He's great sure when there is something to push him. A quest, A mentor, A tournament, A goal..Don't miss the start of this hit LitRPG Fantasy series with over 50 Million views on Royal Road. For the first time, The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound is now available with loads of new content on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible narrated by Macleod Andrews. A big flaw I have with this sub-genre of fantasy is that it often gets so caught up with world-building, action and gamer mechanics that it forgets to focus on the plot and, more importantly to this reader, the characters. Characters are the driving force of any story, and with good enough characters to get the reader invested, a reader can overlook almost any flaw (just ask JK Rowling who writes average to underwhelming stories at best, but absolutely nails her characters to the point where you have to keep reading just to spend more time with them and find out their fate). So with all that said, the thing that really makes this story stand out to me in this sub-genre is the character work. It is a combat class that specializes in speed and enemy detection. Thaddeus wore Manatech armor hybrid and fought with a standard looking plasma rifle. In chapter 486 this classer is classified as one of the four strongest warriors in Zone 1. In chapter 563 Thaddeus had 49th level. He used the skill Enhanced Awareness to improve his hearing. In chapter 598 Thaddeus almost reached the 50th level. Randidly Ghosthound felt lost and alone even before the System transformed the Earth. Before every person had to deal with the sudden presence of levels, skills, monsters, and the very real possibility of death.... This is the third class on Jerry's list, based on his current gifts and disposition. This class was obtained to test the theory whether skill levels mean anything when choosing a class or not.

And they'll experiment on the bodies of the poor and forgettable to find out how they can wield the power of monsters for themselves. This is a fire mage class that was obtained in Donnyton. This is a rare class with high stat growth that no one else from Donnyton could get by chapter 372. Available skills: Flame Thrower, Fire Grenade, Flame Slash, Fireball. Tina could also summon a fiery tiger that stood in one place and shot fireballs, and a fiery phoenix that breathed fire. Tina was also able to create a bomb in the form of her clone. The game world and mechanics are among my favorites. On the crunchy vs soft spectrum, this one is probably a 7.5 in crunchiness, which meant it had lots of mechanics and a decent number of stats, but not so many that it got lost up its own ass while the character sat and thought about skills all day. I liked how the Path system was incorporated into the standard mix of classes, levels, and skills. By the time this arc ends the difference between Randidly's perspective on the amount of time that has passed since he left earth compared to earth's perspective is Randidlys 2 years and ~4~months to Earth's ~4~ months. This arc is from chapter 121-287 [1] Everyone that the MC lies too about being someone else always gets so butt hurt that he might want to just be a normal person for a while. And that every interaction they had was genuine. Because no one in these books trust each other.Meet Markus Heitz, a life-sized Rangor and Michaelangelo’s stuntman at these amazing new fantasy conventions in May. I did find myself skimming often during the last 25% of the book as the plot followed a new arc that just failed to deliver for me. The MC traveled to a place for a reason, but then never actually followed through and it just left me with a bunch of peripheral characters that I didn’t care about while the MC mostly sat and spun his wheels. Things happened, but nothing important for anyone that mattered, so it was unfortunate that this is where book one ended. It set up a few things for the next book, but failed to deliver on the original promise from the beginning of the arc. This class allows classer to get their victim's skill with the the highest level, but the classer needs to make one kill per week because otherwise, he begins to lose his stats by one unit per day. Still, I enjoyed it. The exposition is solid, the character development (outside of the stats) is only so-so, and dialogue is not a focus. I enjoyed it anyway. By the time word reaches Randidly that his friends Ace and Sydney yet live, a harsh truth is revealed: in the end, there can only be one Champion of Zone 32.

His hair was long and dark as night, his figure lean and muscled to the point of looking like a professional athlete. You didn’t get to that level of fitness without an unreal level of determination, Stats or no. But what was most noticeable was his eyes, large and emerald, piercing even in the twilight.

Firstly, fix the blurb. You give away the plot to the first eight hours of the book including a fairly big spoiler. Not needed. As for that first eight hours, that was the part of the book I most enjoyed. From there the things that frustrated me and had me actually yelling in annoyance at times started. The second, far more minor annoyance is that it turns out that Randy has a pretty powerful social anxiety. And that makes him do things that appear irrational. Like giving control of a village he's founding to a random knob. That's just a recipe for all kinds of stupid to happen. And it doesn't help that the author puts his thumb on that scale so things turn out mostly alright with the dimwad who becomes village chief turning out to have hidden depth and stepping up to the challenge. It might even make it worse.
