Interesting concept, poor execution.
Took FOREVER for anything remotely interesting to happen. I skipped ahead from the 1/3 mark to the 2/3 and had to skip again to near the end and I could tell I'd missed nothing of consequence. Character interactions were tiresome, the MC was lame, and overall not worth your time.

Super funny!
This was a funny yet morally ambiguous story.
Spoiler alert!
The story takes place in computer game world were NPCs have some level of self awareness and the adventures who are players are sorta mindless drones with little dialogue/ speech and everyone just accepts that this is life.
The main character who is a merchant is struck with a series of bad fortune which leads him to own a duegon... Where he uses it to spawn orphans and mobs.
I think this book was super funny yet morally ambiguous. I felt so bad for the kids in numerous occasions during the book and it was hard to get past some pages but the end results sorta makes up for it...but overall the book was satisfing and I will definitely be looking forward to there next misadventure.

Good fun. Plenty of humour
Hilarious read. If you can withstand the highlighted book you'll enjoy yourself. Dark humor from a callous merchant who lives unknowingly inside a mmorpg world. I'm hoping to see an adventuring group of orphans funded by the merchant in the future. Better then them being dungeon monsters. A DM who competes against his own adventures original and more in line with a merchants profit and supply chain. Orphans gather goods to sell to merchant who then resells. An assembly line of chip labor and death...hilarious!

Not the best
I am really sorry, I hate giving bad reviews but I wish I could buy back the time I spent reading this.

Fun little read
I really enjoyed this take on dungeon-core-esque litrpg. Aside from a couple of quirky formatting choices, the story was very enjoyable
