Book Review: Tears of Alron by Vasily Mahanenko

If book two built the foundation, book three said “screw it” and sprinted up the tower.

This instalment is all about hacking — Tailyn leans hard into the system manipulation, and it’s honestly brilliant. Watching him apply logic and loopholes to level up, solve problems, and outwit the opposition is exactly what I want from a LitRPG. It’s not just power for power’s sake — it’s earned, it’s strategic, and it’s incredibly satisfying to read.

The challenge of reviewing sequels is that you start to repeat yourself — but in this case, that’s part of the point. I didn’t stop after book one. Or two. I kept going without a pause, and that alone is the highest praise I can give. These books are compelling. Addictive. Smartly written and always moving forward.

By this point, we’re moving fast toward the top of the power curve, and honestly? I have no complaints. The world’s expanding, the systems are evolving, and I’m still fully on board with Tailyn’s journey. If the series keeps up this pace, we’re in for something seriously special.
