Daniel’s guide to early retirement:
- Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss.
- Hide out in a super-exclusive full-immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off.
- Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up.
- Profit.
With all the pesky planning out of the way, Daniel set out to realize his ultimate dream: gaining enough money to buy a tropical island and spend his days playing the violin and RPGs. What could possibly go wrong?

Refreshing take
Solid and refreshing take on the genre!
A quirky bit of fun
I enjoyed the concept of the main character being a bard. It brought a bit of novelty to the story. They incorporated a bit of music into the performance, which was a fun element. I hope they develop this further in the subsequent books. There was nothing especially spectacular about the story or the performance, but somehow I felt that the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. At the very least, I'm going to continue with the next book to see where things are going.
