Blurb: Ever wished a portal would open up and swallow you? Don’t. Trust me.
Slinging hotdogs may not be the most glorious side gig, but hey, if it paid for college, that’s all Emma could ask for. And let’s be real, of all the crowds in the world, what were the odds that Comic-Con would get Portalled next?
Emma really should’ve known better. Once again, the universe conspires against her, and now she’s stuck in a world where the laws of physics don’t seem to apply, and even the grass is trying to kill her. She better pay close heed to the Artificial Intelligence guiding her and make some new friends fast, because out here, it’s thrive or die.
And no amount of videogames prepared her for a world where you can actually gain Skills and level up. Or to face a series of trials that seem designed to kill her rather than teach her how to survive... What could possibly be the real goal of the mysterious ‘predecessors’ that built them?

My Rating: 2/5 (Didn't finish)
I wanted to give this one a fair shot. The cover was cool, and I was in the mood for another LitRPG after taking a break from them for a while.
I’ll be honest, this probably wasn’t made for me, and that’s fine. But I just struggled to get into the book, and the issues were there from the start. I’d like to point out that I have no problem with characters who are pretty or handsome or in general good-looking, but when the first or second thing I learn about the main character is how big her breasts are…well, it’s not my cup of tea, for sure. If that’s one of the most important things I need to know about the character, then I’m probably not going to enjoy this book very much.
But I pushed on. The story stayed pretty standard, the System didn’t do anything wonderful for me, and it just felt like I was reading the same isekai litrpg that I’ve read twenty times before. I dropped it about ⅓ of the way in. Not for me. It clearly has its fans, though.
