Reincarnation of the Strongest Sword God: Book 3 - Hidden Expert Kindle Edition

I have been reading this book for a couple of years and it's the only one that I have followed for this long. Yes, welcome to the modern age where you get content while the author is writing e.g. webnovels, or where you are reading a novel that is still being translated, or even a combination of both... a big change from the old model of getting a book when its finished... but I would argue that while frustrating when waiting on more content, it gives us more options and longer stories which is better for all of us. The author even took a year long hiatus and has recently started back writing.1 - ContentThis is a novel about a male main character who is reincarnated after playing the game for 10 years to be able to start over (this theme has been done in many other books but it a great premise). I will not give spoilers, but this actually has more out-of-the-game content than most (many books in this genre have a few initial chapters of how the MC gets in the game, then little to no real-life story once there), in this book its like 2 stories are going on at the same time. Very enjoyable, well written, compliments each other and relates instead of distracts!The author uses actual item/character stats from the game which is nice (I like LITRPG and many books ignore the numbers or use them in extreme, its refreshing to see them in this book). He is overpowered but at least you know how he got there due to his previous-life knowledge. There is no harem in this series, heck I would have even enjoyed him getting into a relationship with some of the female characters to make him more human. Most of the LITRPG deal with relationships in the extremes sadly, either they are monks or its endless harams with degrees of detail that very as well. He values friendship and has good ethics, so this story can easily be read by almost any age group.The author does seem to repeat things which could annoy some, but its not all the time so I just skim when he tells me about something I already know/read about. The content is fresh and you get many different venues of fights/locations/quests so even though this is long, it is not grinding.2 - This actual eBook on AmazonThis is one of the better translations I have read (if you read these types of books online you know what I mean) and the spelling, paragraphs, verbiage are truly well done. This also leads me to probably my biggest negative on this series here on Amazon, they have volumes 1-10 available and it stops... At the time of this review, the translated version is up to chapter 2850, and yes I am able to get it at one of the MANY different websites (some free, some paid) but I like to read it on my Kindle and not via a webpage. Yes, there are some sites that have apps to read on, but I like OWNING the books, I want to financially support the author/translator so we can have more and I cannot do this on the Amazon/Kindle platform. Please start back offering the remainder of the books and I will buy them gladly!

I have a massive backlog of books that I am always adding to - If I find a book on sale by an author I like my kneejerk reaction is to buy it - This results in me always being behind in my reading - Often I will read a book from one series , then go to something else immediately thereafter - That is not the case with this series - I bought a few of them DESPITE them not being on sale - Started reading the series and never stopped (well except for buying the next book in the series) - Before I knew it I had completed the entire 10 book series - Am waiting impatiently for the next book in the series HINT HINT :)

Cons:- Minor plot holes exist ex. The author states when you die, in game, you cannot communicate with those in game for a total of 40 minutes and then shows the main character capitalize on this to set an ambush on those hunting him. What is left out is the possibility of using third parties to carry critical info from outside the game or the possibility of check in times between separated parties.- I also find the descriptions of items and other critical information from the past storyline to be lacking. I would recommend expanding on the glossary to show this missing info if incorporating it into the story is not efficient.- Unfortunately, a lot of the leveling strategies are starting to be reused, albeit in a new way but none the less reused.Pros:- As noted above they have a glossary with convenient hot links to get the info needed that is not necessarily elaborate enough within the plot.- Lastly, as expected, the author yet again kept things fresh and fast paced making this book fly by in a blink. This is my kind of page turner.

Well, after it was made available to purchase in the US, I immediately bought it and read it over the weekend. I do really like the story and look forward to reading more.The big issue I have with this story is all the repetitive explanations of different aspects of the VRMMO that the characters are playing in. I understand feeling the need to explain some things for new readers who did not read the first two books (btw, if you haven't read the first two books you're going to be confused about a lot of things in this book. Go read them first, you won't regret it ;-P ) but in some sections of the book the author explained the same thing multiple times in the same in the same paragraphs/pages. It got to the point in a couple spots I started wondering if this was being done simply to increase page size of the book.That and the need for some third party proof-reading to catch minor spelling and grammatical errors. Other than that it's a really good story.

You ever see that movie where the hero arrives in time to save the day? Well this guy arrives just in time to stand around to look at pretty girls as two thirds of his allies die. Who does that?Next is this guy talks all about working with his team yet spends 98% of his time ignoring everyone for some reason. Meh. Not impressed.The good news is he is finally getting some great stuff and moving forward with his plan.Good but not great book.

Great story of VR style gaming with reincarnation thrown into the mix. Lots of gaming action, political shenanigans and vengeful attacks follow a clever (of course!) M/c and his clan. Minor translation/grammar issues 8/10

It's one of those books I can't put down. I will definately be awaiting the next one!
