Demon John Wick plays Yu-Gi-Oh

Reviewed: 12-16-24

the edgiest of edge lords wages war against the crime lords of New Deck City. solid action and good pacing. my only complaint is that the cards seem like more of an after thought. content warning lots of brutal violence, conversations of SA, drug usage.

fairly good if you can get past the MC

Reviewed: 12-05-24

great humor, good pacing, fun performances but honestly the MC being a whiny loser for 95% of the story is a drag. when he accepts his place in the story and gets to it the book is 100% better. also the self congratulations the writers give themselves for cribbing from Tolkien is a little irritating but not enough to ruin the story. definitely give it a listen.

good book but kind of slow

Reviewed: 11-07-24

very chill but the main character comes off as dopey not sure if that was intentional. if you are looking for a more sedate LitRPG it is worth the listen.

the adventures of BattleGod McAwesomeatsex

Reviewed: 09-28-24

not a bad story but the invulnerable ultra cool Mary Sue MC got boring. there was never a problem he couldn't beat and the fun aspects of his character didn't show through till the last adventure in the book. a character needs flaws and "I'm too F***ing awesome" doesn't count.

a fun story with a good protagonist

Reviewed: 09-19-24

the story was good and had a satisfying conclusion but I don't know if the character dieing was necessary. the setting didn't change significantly from his previous life he could have just been a soldier retiring to run a pub. the setting wasn't used to its fullest potential. and I wish writers would trust in the slice of life aspect rather than shoehorning in some mysterious looming end of the world stakes. but overall fun characters and good story telling.

focus on something

Reviewed: 09-07-24

the narrative jumped from character to character so much you never had time to care what happened to any of them. it was a whole book of ok what's going to happen then nothing did.
the idea of second generation isikai was interesting but abandoned almost immediately if it was ever the intent at all. also some kind of grossly outdate conservative ideas buried in the prose.

eww you got generic alien invasion in my post apocalypse story, eww you got a chosen one narrative in my generic alien invasion, eww you got a man of two worlds in my chosen one narrative, eww you got the power of friendship in my man of two worlds.
each change in the narrative was jarring but would get good just for another change to blind side you.
over all I enjoyed it but definitely not what was on the packaging

can you make a story out of checking a status menu?

Reviewed: 07-30-24

I guess it can be done and definitely gets better later in the book. good humor, strong characterization, definitely worth the read.

could have been great but nope just gross.

It took three episodes before the Incel harem crap started. that's three of the 25 minutes long episodes. most of which have midshow ads and up to 15 minutes of dead air. at some point it gives up on action and adventure and becomes strait up porn. porn written by someone who has never talked to a woman. hell it even has a Lolita wolf girl Ninja. might as well call it Weeb bait.

a satisfying ending

Reviewed: 07-24-24

for starters I will say it takes a good writer to make an over powered character and time travel work. Jake's character and humor make this an enjoyable trilogy but there are some flaws addressing criticisms in the narrative doesn't dismiss them it draws attention to them. and making the stand in for fans monstrous spiders is not flattering. Jake learning a lesson then immediately forgetting it got tedious and him just casually winning every time was a little anticlimactic. also the have your cake and eat it to makes the lessons he learned meaningless.that said a great serioes especially for a first time author
