About this listen

After his parents' separation uproots him from everyone and everything he's ever known, Spencer tries to bury himself in video games. That's easier said than done when his game systems are miles away, and the only game shop in town doubles as a smoke den.

Ready to give up, Spencer is introduced to Monster Gear—an augmented reality, geocaching, monster-taming RPG for his phone. Thinking it's just another mobile game, Spencer is ready to try it and toss it aside.

There's only one problem: the monsters are real.

With Zero, his new monster friend, and a guild of like-minded players, Spencer is ready to tackle any challenge the game has to offer!

I don't expect anything too complex from these type of stories, but this one was very disappointing. It does a good job hooking interest into the MC's monster Zero... but they make the MC too annoying and weak to side with. But the worst offender in this title is the poor writing where you get repeated observations over and over again, mostly in combat. Early combat has the MC dealing with two buttons, yet he loses track of it so frequently it seems like the writer forgot to remove the alternative lines from the draft or got paid by the word. The reasoning for too many actions early on just don't follow any logic of pattern of believable behaviour for the MC (more so that most books of this type) just was too much for me. Such a shame as the idea of this world plus Zero's arc had great potential

Good idea failed by horrible writing
