You know the deal. Guy gets pulled into a game world in a character who, at first glance, seems woefully unfit to accomplish anything.It has promise. The character interactions and action in the early chapters are really well done and establish an interesting world.There are issues with the more recent chapters.The POV is often irrelevant. It'll have the reader, not the character, hear the thoughts of one character even though we are supposedly following the POV of another. Scene transitions sometimes happen suddenly and without notice. Which is disorienting and has you try to figure out if the character we're following is the one from the last scene or someone else. A task made harder when you can go a paragraph or two before an identifying character trait or interaction makes it clear.I like this book but the current translation is too inconsistent in quality.Even worse, the split chapters (crimes against literature) ruin whatever flow there is in the story.
