    B071GYZWZS.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg The history of our world tends to move along a shallow spiral—when completing a turn, you end up mighty close to where you started.

    The history of Second World, in contrast, seems to have simplified its path to a ring from which there is no apparent way out. An unforeseen invasion lays waste to whole provinces, prompting the game’s most powerful clans to ally with the emperor’s guard to stop the monstrous hordes in their tracks.

    A war erupts that nobody saw coming, shattering the tedium of peaceful life. All the while the world’s most elusive character—once a lowly miner, now a powerful mage—finds himself in an impossible situation, and sorely in need of allies of his own as he searches for a way out.

    Yeah, I really enjoyed The Weirdest Noob. I hope the sequel can deliver, because it looks like we will be taken on a much different adventure. Despite some of the reviews on Amazon claiming lack of orginality, this author delivers the kind of story I personally crave in LitRPG.

    I was perusing the reviews, and a reply to one said the third book in the TRILOGY will be up for pre-order Nov 1st and released Dec 1st. So, guess it's just three bewks for us. Ho-hum!

    My fears were unfounded about the change in direction of the book. Excellent read 5

    There is a lack of originality in the books. But then again, nothing is new under the sun.

    I liked this one a lot more than the first book. It got grating, seeing "noob this" and "noob that" every other sentence in the first book. But even with those gripes, I still really enjoyed both of the books and will pick up the third as soon as it hits KU.
