The Land of the Undying Lord by J.T. Wright

Without going into spoiler the character has unlimited potential. But at the end of the day the main character is the slave. In video games a summons is a useful tool, even a necessary one. If you read the synopsis of the story the main character is a summons in a human body. It seems like the author tried to follow too many ideas at the same time. At first it seems like the purpose in this book is for the MC to get stronger, but then we barely follow the MC. finally, there is no real purpose in this book. What makes it worse, is you spend most of the time listening to these side character battle scene and vert little time with the MC. Then repeat this with 8 other characters. you get no further character development. This normally is a good way to introduce a character IF you build on it. He (the author) just kind-of dumps you into the pov of a newly introduced character and makes you listen through a 30 minute battle. And I say characters because the author at some point decided to follow 8-10 different characters without ever developing them. The biggest problem with this book is how 1 to 2 dimensional most of the characters are. However the characters, world building, and overall sense of purpose is really lacking.

This is one series that I'll definitely be following. It moves a little slow in parts, tending to not progress anywhere fast (the second part of the book is basically just one huge dungeon crawl), but that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as you're aware of it. Well written, the book is perfect for audio - great narrator, not too many stats (but enough) and a fun story.

After the first few chapters though it forges its own path. The start reminded me very strongly of the very excellent book 'Threadbare' - the MC is a summons who is new to the world, naïve to it's dangers, and must learn it's ropes. Despite not having litrpg or gamelit anywhere in the title, this book very firmly falls within the genre.
