it's comfort series timeeee

I'm rereading the series for the 4th time. I'm choosing now because I need to focus more at work right now.

5/5, since it's an easy reread for me. I do skip some parts, but I can do that and still give a 5. it's not my favorite in the series, but obviously the story has to start somewhere. this was my first long series litrpg and it changed what genres I read.
