Publisher's summary

Everything is going according to plan. Ivan Susanin has successfully installed a beacon in the undead territory and returned home.

The situation changes when the next mission to the city of goblins is delayed, while his home planet becomes the battleground. Monsters invade Earth, and Ivan must become one of the leaders and unite the players under his banner, albeit within the borders of his own country. If circumstances demand that he discloses his identity and cooperates with the authorities, so be it! Modern weapons and equipment, instructors, financing, and protection by law....

Stupid to decline all this due to baseless concerns. The most important thing is to remember why he started all this in the first place, and ensure that he can survive what's coming.

Good story

Good story flow and character development. I liked the international flavor and story taking a human vs the universe. Classic underdog for survival and victory.

Continue to the next book !

The story is good , with the inclusion of the player stats like a DND game . On the other hand , sometimes it goes overboard with the stats .

Great addition, Great job 👏 litrpg top 10

This is one of my favorite litRPGs. I like the leveling system the most. It feels like each stat point and level actually means something; all to often in other books, the leveling system starts to feel bloated later in the series. The right Skills are the name of the game in this book. This time the fight takes place on earth and author did a great job capturing the gravity of each situation.
ready for book 4!!!
