Synopsis

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? Disclaimer: There shall be no harems in this series. Overpowered, perfect protagonists will not be tolerated, and excessive cursing will result in donations to the swear jar.

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.
