A lot of LitRPGs take themselves way too seriously. This is not one of those books. Set in a type 2 LitRPG world (the system has just always been there and it’s how things are) our main character is a Messenger Girl called Evelia Greene who has been given the life quest to ‘Head to the next town over and pick up a loaf of bread.” Only this quest is given a Legendary Difficulty. Thus do our adventures begin.

This book is a lot of fun to read. The plot bounces along at a jolly pace, not stopping for too long at any one point. The characters in this world seem to gain levels and abilities pretty quickly so there’s always something new to see, something different being added into the mix. It’s not the most mechanically focused LitRPG I’ve ever read with people taking ages pouring over their lists of abilities and there’s no stats that have to be assigned, which is to its benefit.

The world is nice and quirky, with interesting things to see yet no complicated systems of governance to get bogged down in. Politics is not a big thing in this book, just adventurers getting their job done. All in all I had a lot of fun reading this. The sequel to this book is This Class is Bonkers.
