Second Chance Swordsman is a decent LitRPG with a storyline somewhat similar to The Beginning After the End. It has all the trademarks of Jakob Tanner's other books, with their accompanying pros and cons. The characters development is good, and the plot is reasonably filled with twists and turns. But I think the book would be better served if the pacing were reduced a little bit and we get to spend some quality time with each character, instead of rushing from scene to scene. It is a bit like the last two Thor movies from Taika Waititi where things just keep happening, without giving the characters or the audience enough time to digest what has happened.
I still recommend this for readers, especially those new to LitRPG. It is a reasonably engrossing read, especially if you are on a short flight/train ride.
