FRICKING AWESOME

I've been waiting for something like this for ages. It will probably draw comparisons to the Underverse series by Jez Cajiao due to storyline and Narrator. I absolutely loved this book it was brilliant and I can't wait for book 2.

Can't wait straight to the book

Author! Hearken! Why craft this audible just to forcing me to read? Woe to thee! Woe a thousandfold! Cursed be this Kindle, for bedridden and weakened I am.

the explanation of the combat

Abit drawn out at times, usually when describing various things, like a situation, things happening or different thoughts in Abit too much detail

Spectacular

Brutal combat set in a fast paced almost non stop apocalypse action story. A phenomenal blend of fun and interesting characters with villains you can truly hate. Honestly it's one of my top 3 first in a series books I've read this year.

bad pacing, overexplainig, deus ex machina, sexism, and beutiful prose.

This book is 90% pure garbage, 5% average slopp, and 5% magnificent writing.

The pacing is off. If there's a fight there is 10 minutes of inner dialogue before every strike. Training? 10 min inner monologue. Spaghetti? 40 min inner dialogue. For every 5 minutes of great writing you have to slog through 2 hours of irrelevant garbage.

Due to the insistent milking of the story and the endless inner dialogue, everything is explained in excruciating detail. The main character is consistently (9 different times) whining about how everything is rigged for the 1%, whilst he himself is in the 0.1%. The story is filled with endless pushing of the authors political views, starting with a somewhat Liberal view (though this is poorly framed) evolving into a constant vilification of "21st century sensibilities". At least it is character development.

more infuriating is that everything is explained except things that are necessary for the plot to progress.

This leads to Eric, the dense MC, constantly doing stupid things and going on suicide missions that he miraculously survives because he had information that we are not in any way privy to. It is extremely obvious when the author doesn't have a relevant explanation as to why Eric survives, and it is equally obvious when the information is withheld, even at the cost of the flow of the story before the eventual suicide missions.

The characters are eclectic, oxymoronic, and inconsistent. They don't have a personality that is predictable. Except the MC being dense and the bad guys being bad. the bad guys are so cartonishly evil, it makes me sad.

if you trudge through the 39 hours of displeasure, you will also realise that all of the women in the story fall into 2 1/2 categories: Conniving or "voluptuous breasts" / damsel. there is nothing more to them. Even the one woman who is integral to the story gets that treatment. It's like a r/menwritingwomen circle jerk.

Finally, the Narrators. The male narrator, who reads most of the story, seems to love what ge is doing. Though this is nice, he presents everything as if it were a commercial for used cars. The narrator who narrates the women only ever sounds sultry, but this is because of how rlthe story and characters are written.

I would not recommend unless you enjoy brainrot.
