Regicide (The Completionist Chronicles, #2)

Level-up? Eh. A slightly less satisfying follow-up.
Krout's "Regicide" is the second in his LitRPG "Completionist Chronicles" where a paraplegic US Army medic gets digitized into a game world and decides he wants to experience EVERYTHING the game has to offer. While the first novel had a decent enough introduction to the game, its quests and mechanics -- this second novel kind of meanders a bit.
Joe finds a new party, develops his skills, but the overall plot (preparing for a war against the Wolfmen?) feels tacked on and the events on the ground rarely act in service of the plot.
That being said, I'm not reading these for deep characterization -- these are fun because Joe just discovered a +4 Wizard's Staff that grants him .25 modifier on all spells cast against non-humans -- tell me more.
Isn't that what literature is all about?
