There was a lot of this book I enjoyed, it was a fairly standard Litrpg framework, but it worked.  What didn’t work for me was the initial premise of why everything was gamelike.  Maybe the players don’t have the full story yet, but there’s nothing to hint at that.  Without trying to spoil too much, the idea that aliens are going to transport the the whole planet to a new solar system because humans meet some standard of worthiness, yet are going to cull the population by 90% in the first year is enough to make my brain want to explode with cognitive dissonance.  As long as I ignored that part of the story, I was able to enjoy it.  Unfortunately, that bit comes up a lot.

Plus it had some really pointless POV shifts that did very little for the main narrative.  I read his other book Battleborne and I think it was better.
