Chad is now Chod the troll and his job is to bring the trolls back from the brink of extinction. It won't be easy to do though when everyone, even some of his own kind, is against him. The future of the trolls is in Chod's hands.
I really enjoyed this book. The story was serious enough to keep me entertained and funny enough for me to not lose interest. It was really cool how the author incorporated video-game elements and blended them with his own skills. I loved how it explained and showed the divide between player and NPC as well. It was an all-around great story and you couldn't help but feel empathy towards this hated race. I recommend this to anyone who loves a great story about an underdog, who loves video-games, or who just loves fantasy. I feel LitRPG is so great because it gives a concrete explanation of someone's power so even if you don't like video games you can still appreciate and love this author's writing style, his story, and his book.
