Glad

Just found Cinnamon Bun while perusing audible for new LitRPG. Wasn't sure about it but purchased the first one a few days ago to test it knowing I could get a refund if I didn't like it. Turns out I love it. Just finished volume 1 and have the other 2 ready to go. Hear the 4th is coming to audible in Dec. It's quite different to other LitRPGs like He Who Fights With Monsters, Defiance of the Fall, etc. Maybe closer to The Wandering Inn. Hmm. So it's like finding a whole other side to LitRPGs. Thank you for writing this. Makes my life a little bit better, having Cinnamon Bun in it :P

A playful tale narrated beautifully.

I have a soft spot for characters who are impossibly nice sweethearts who want only the best for everyone, and another soft spot for characters who are very brave by virtue of being just a little too dumb to realise how much danger they're in. This is a story about a girl who is both of these people, and it's deeply entertaining to hear about her and her path of benevolent destruction through an unsuspecting fantasy world.

The plot itself is somewhat meandering- There's not even really a particular goal in mind throughout the story, with the protagonist just kinda moving where the wind takes her and taking it one day at a time- but it's a meandering plot in a fairly interesting world, so I was never bored. The story is generally pretty light and bubbly, but things do get a little dark and dangerous at times.

Reba Buhr did a wonderful job with narration- her character voices turn even unimportant characters into people I'd love to stay and chat with. I highly recommend this one.

Breath of Fresh Air

If you want a mix up from your usual murder hobo spell sword garbage,
you'll be plesently surpised.
Honestly the best female voice actor I've heard in this genre,
Wouldn't recommend if you dislike ironically bad French accents lol.

A refreshing entry in the litrpg genre

This was a joy to listen to, the characters are endearing and the world is interesting to learn about. It's a slow burn but that's part of the charm this book offers, it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual hyperactive high stakes stories that many litrpgs fall into.

ok

I enjoyed the world building and the feeling of lighthearted adventure. the narrations is great.
However the MC as the story progresses came across as more judgmental and intrusive than actually nice. She tends to push her own ideals onto those around her. It is subtle though. like her reprimanding of people who do not follow her idea of not being 'rude'.
It just did not come across as being genuinely nice. it is a very shallow, one size fits all type of niceness rather than an understanding of different types of people, and then appreciating them as friends.
But than again, she is young and immature - i will still read the next book and see if there is any depth to character or growth.
