This is not a particularly excelent book, but it's not a bad one, either. The plot gets off to an extremely slow start, sounding at first more like a history[return]text than anything else. Then it goes through several side characters before getting on to introducing the main plot of the book. The AI revolt plot that[return]was so carefully developed is then completely cast aside in favour of an alien artifact plot. It felt somewhat abrupt to me. However, the writing is good,[return]the characters are okay, and the story is interesting. While it's not all that good of a book, it's not bad, either.

I'm a completely blind reader of LitRPG, progression fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, and some nonfiction. Interact with me @fastfinge@iceshrimp.social as well as here.
Some important warnings:- Some of the content creators I enjoy publish exclusively to Kindle Unlimited or Audible Originals. I choose to support the creators I enjoy, rather than boycott Amazon. If you don't want to see Kindle or Audible Books, you may want to avoid my profile.
- I don't agree with the views of some of the authors I read, or support some of the political views contained in the books I consume. I rate books based exclusively on my enjoyment of the story.
- Some of the books I read contain adult material, that may include, but is not limited to, sexual activity, violence, harems, reverse harems, FFM, F/M, and F/F. I will do my best to warn about this material using the tools bookwyrm provides, so that those who don't want this content can avoid it.
- I believe that audiobooks and ebooks are reading, in every way equal to printed hardcover books. If you do not, your engagement is unwelcome.
