Hands down the best book i've ever read it's sucked me right in and i've spent 2 days just reading this. I'ts well written even the heavy number usage can help with the story and explains the path to power. Thank you for this masterpiece and please accept this heartfelt review.

I really enjoy this story, it’s well written has interesting characters and a great setting. I’m always looking forward to it’s release time

This Story is delightful to read. It is captivating, fun, clever und all in all a great read. Wirth a multitude of chapters in varying perspectives

I just finished reading book one, blitzed through 285 chapters, this is great; I can say it was difficult at first because some terms were unfamiliar to me but your glossary and searching (for images of fantasy creatures) helped. Around chapter 48 I got hooked and haven't put it down much since. Looking forward to the rest!

This is actually two books in one - one in a standard fantasy world and one in a grimdark future fantasy sci-fi. Lets add the warning now: At the beginning of each book and here and there in the chapters are a lot of numbers, calculations and statistics pretty meaningless to anyone not into d&d. Those who are can probably find some inspiration for minmaxing but also for interesting epic level character quirky abilities ("everything is a nail" cracked me up) The writing is nearly faultless, no complaints there, except for the aforementioned number crunching The story continues at a decent pace and brings enough changes to be entertaining. Don't expect the MC to struggle too much, she's one of the most OP of OP characters and smart enough not to get in over her head, to build connections etc. There are bigger powers in the world, but due to her nature she's sort of invisible to many of them. The worlds are quite detailed - as should be expected of high quality d&d campaigns - but sometimes it's hard to process all the information that is given. The characters are likable, though maybe not always relatable. There are barely any trope abuses, such as the stupid bandits, hur hur hur. Well done is how a lot of the early story goes on in the second half of the first book. Currently updates at one chapter a day

If you can make it past the info dump in the beginning, this story is absolutely 5 stars. You don't have to understand all the mechanics to enjoy it. If you love details and LitRPG mechanics then you will be in heaven. Massive world building, immersive characters, game mechanics that are consistent and make sense. I have not read or noticed Deus ex machina or plot armor inconsistencies. Amazingly enough, the second book 'Far Future' is even more fantastic. Pretty much non stop kick ass and loot everything, high energy fun. Thanks for writing and sharing this brilliant story!

Greatest book on this site if it was a e-book I buy it . It story is well thought out made to make the reader thinking about the action and strategies in the book. Just love this book.

Love the world building and the characters too. I just wanted to give stars, so this is me padding the minimum character limit. Or- --i mean Gobbos iz da bestest

A fun read, especially the latter half of book 1 onwards. Sama is a smart, hardworking protagonist who got to her overpowered status the hard way, as we get to witness.

If you are looking for a action packed story this is the one with heavy number crunching at start. It's a bit rough in the benginning, but if can read a fell of starting chapters you will be in for a great story.

I love this story, I found it on Royal Road and had to catch up. I literally couldn't put it down. One of the best books I have ever read. I've been recommending it to every one I know who really enjoys reading.

really good read. I've read more books in my life then I can count as it my only real hobby and this book stands out as one of the better ones. I'm honestly surprised that it doesn't have way more readers then I'd does I'd recommend this even if you aren't sick of the many other books here. Don't just read this if you getting bored of CN novels it deserves a read all it own.

I have mix feelings about this novel. It can be a great fun to read certain parts, but incredibly boring in others. Anyways; The writing quality is excellent for the most part. Only when the author tries to put some dice DND nonsense that I admittedly ignore does it get in the way. You'd be in the middle of an action sequence when suddenly all this talk about dice and whatnot came up out of nowhere. It can be disrupting. Conversations can also occasionally be hard to follow at times due to some weird use of dialogue. This isn't really an issue though, it's very rare. There are numerous main characters in this story. Some may like it, others not. I'm part of the latter. I came here to read about the legend of Sama Rantha. I mean it's in the title. But having read 180 chapters so far, half of it isn't even about her or from her perspective. At the start it has alternating chapter between the dream sequence and the reality in the future (present?). Oh how I hate this part. But it's a good novel so I persevere and read through it. Until it finally reached a point in where I can just read it from the present. Then not too many chapters later another MC joined. I thought fine, I'm still getting my fix of Sama Rantha. Lo and behold, not too long after that it goes to another MC, this time 12 years in the past. Then another MC also 12 years in the past. Now the chapters are switching between 4 different storylines from different point of views. What about Sama Rantha? She's thrown in the background barely even there. Not sure if this style of story telling will be continued in the future, but at this point I feel like the author should just remove Sama Rantha from the title. Info dumps. This novel has a lot of it. There are chapters that basically consists of only info dumps. That in itself is not so bad, but I can't even make sense of these info dumps. It's all DND based that can get confusing. Not saying it's impossible to understand, but most readers will just skim through these chapters to get on with the story. So do I recommend reading this novel? Yes. I can understand why this novel has such a small following, the author goes in great depth about how his system works, and frankly it's a bore to read for a lot of readers. The multiple characters thing being a big part of this novel can also be a turn off. But despite all this I'm still reading it because it is still a decent novel. You'll just have to persevere through the parts that aren't to your liking, as the rest is brilliant.

I'm here for the karma :D, but overall the story is one of the few original pieces on the site that deserves a 5 stat rating, a very cool storyline that's supported by the right amount of world lore and leveling mechanics.

I just want to add stars. I just want to add stars. I just want to add stars. I just want to add stars. I just want to add stars. I just want to add stars.

I stumbled across this story by accident. It was quite possibly the happiest accident in my life to date. Why do the reviews require a minimum character count?

Writing is actually 4.5 only because the then/than mistakes in the early chapters were hard on my eyes. But other than that one of the absolute best storistories I've ever read period. Why this isn't published and sold on Amazon is a freaking mystery to me!

Definitely an impressive world which draws readers in and makes us feel connected to the characters in such a manner that I can’t wait to read the next chapter!

The beginning gets min/max nerdy wordy. No doubt. But, if you can suffer through that and the author's mostly-but-not-really-comprehensive-pages-of-wiki scattered throughout the chapters plus some good ole intuition to fill in based on context, you'll find yourself in the middle of an epic with multiple main characters, a brewing apocalypse with all the divine onlookers plotting behind the scenes, and ultimately, a tale of someone who should be tremendously disadvantaged spitting on the notion and turning it in her favor. Writing: 4 stars. Would've been 5 but the author's shorthand during "oh, you don't understand this system I've invented by cobbling together n+1 other systems?" data dumps wears quickly. Stability of Updates: 5 stars Story Development: 4 stars. Some arcs are that movie you're sitting in going "shouldn't it have ended already?". Mixed with some well-meaning conflict fatigue, -1 star. Character Design: 3 stars. As epic heroes, the characters are fleshed just fine, and there's even a plot device to explain some of the shallows, but overall, the characters really don't show much depth beyond being very good at murderhoboing. Like I said, the first major arc has its reasons. If the latest arc doesn't address that some, then this will stay at 3 stars. World Background: 4 Stars. The world itself is glossed over, but the system it runs on is mainly explained, even if we don't all grasp the explanations. -2 for how shallow the understanding of the world is, +1 for the fact that the system is a hodgepodge so there SHOULD be far more explanation of it rather than the world. If you hit chapters 250+ you'll understand more as to why this was a difficult category to accurately judge. Regardless of my attempts to be objective, there's always subjectivity because even my views on objectivity are subjective to my own understanding of it. Overall, remember that 3 represents AVERAGE, not fire fuel. Give it a read, convince yourself to hit over 30 chapters and while you might not stomach an all-in-one-go, you'll certainly find something worth coming back to.

Great story. I would buy it if it was a book on Amazon So please publish it. The only thing I dont like is the slow reading release😄 so please to all give all votes .

A fantastically in-depth DnD/RPG fiction about OP game mechanics and how to abuse the crap out of them as much as possible. So long as you know your DnD stuff, you'll fit right in. However, even for the layman reader, who understands about as much as "I R Stronk Player!" DnD jargon, you'll still be able to understand most of the story. The only complaints about the novel that I have are two things. Please kind in mind, that these are my personal issues and will probably have no effect on other readers. So don't be discouraged to read this novel. Cause again, it's a fantastic novel! MINOR SPOILERS BELOW: 1. In the initial stages of the story, the author jumps between future and past events each chapter. I found this to be a little jarring and felt it kills the immersion. 2. There are a lot of important characters. And while this is normally nice, I sometimes feel that due to this the MC of this story feels watered down, and it becomes a story less about Sama, but more about everyone around her. Which is a shame, because shes awesome.

A Real Fantasy World story, full immersion, well detailed and thoroughly explained making everything meaningful and relevant. The DnD terms and jargon are necessary and will make sense later on, take it as math on how that magical world works no hand holding about it and I applaud the author for finding a system that works and anchors nearly everything the characters abilities are derived, the how, why. The story starts off slow, deep with a limited perspective and hard and goes on like this for a while but their is a valid reason and its brilliant so strap in and hold on will be worth it. After all that it blooms beautifully then kicks int high gear as more characters appear, events unfold even outside the main characters perspective which makes it more richer and exciting.

Really enjoyable, one of my favourite stories I'm reading right now. Well written with lots of humour. It keeps the story moving while showing how things really take time. Its fun and interestting with a good set of characters. It leaves just enough unwritten to let your imagination make the story your own.

Quite frankly I'm not sure why this is only in the 200's it has everything: gamelit, reincarnation, dragons, incursions of mad gods from beyond the pale, and just all out epicness.

Didn't really understand a lot of the stats. But I got the general gist of it (No worries, the author did explain what all of it was, I was just lazy and didn't want to read the glossary). Story was really entertaining. READ IT
