This is too much

Reviewed: 10-09-24

Just simply amazing. What a ride, what a ride. A true telling of just how crazy humanity can be. Wish this was a series. I need more adventures of Duke. It is not too much.

Give me the next one

Reviewed: 09-12-24

I really really hope the next book doesn’t take as long to get out as the others again. I’m invested again.

My one dislike though is the lack of action. Bring back the busters.

I need more

Reviewed: 11-22-23

The whole adventurer slice of life aspect has got me addicted. I want more of the series and I want to learn more about the world. The book has real unexpected depth. An over powered hero but one that still has to make hard choices. Keep up the good work.

Tired of the filler

Reviewed: 09-15-23

It’s good filler but still filler. Only the last third of book seems to actually progress the plot. The ending was good and I hope it’s a sign that this filler saga is finally over. I swear if Zach doesn’t push into the D rank in the next book, I’m done.

Combat needs work. It’s supposed to be fast paced yet when an action occurs, zach however spends an hour long monologue on which way to swing his axe. In a fight his thought process should done in an instant, using all of his senses and instincts to know what to do. Not waste the readers time on wether he should go left or right with death hanging over his head. It makes the fight boring and less urgent. If Zach needs to act then make him act not waste time deciding on how to act, it comes across as hesitation and is confusing to the reader.

Ya Zach is fighting D rankers now and wining yet still isn’t D rank. Seriously make him a D rank in the next book. It’s time, enough snail pace, beating around the bush progression. Zach himself is event ranting that he needs power. Give it to the guy already.

Eh a time sink

Reviewed: 04-12-23

Story starts off well enough for a harem adventure. Eventually though it seems the author is just rushing around trying to reach the next checkpoint in his outline. Like the author just wanted to get it over with. There were definitely events that were suppose to be more significant and characters that were meant to be more significant as well in the story that were basically just glossed over for a quicker outcome. This gets particularly bad at the last 2 books. It also at times felt like there was no direction to the story. It’s either rushing one part and being lost the other.

Griff’s wives are pretty forgettable which isn’t good for a harem story. I was ironically more interested in the men as they seemed to contribute more to than just well sex. Their interactions seemed more real. Basically the wives get a nice intro bit, they have sex and after that it’s just sex and more sex, nothing really more than that, then they get forgotten for the new wife for a while and the next wife. Basically a process. New girl, make wife, sex, repeat. They’re all just cookie cutter harem wives. Honestly the author could have got rid of three fourths of them and the story wouldn’t have changed. Would have been more fair to the characters too if the author just did that.

Voice acting was good.

Overall i got this to sink time and it did that.

I love this slow burn slice of life plot. Just wish there was some more risk.

Here lies Reviewer, buried by exposition

Reviewed: 12-14-22

First couple of chapters started great. Hooks you in. It’s interesting there’s questions. Like wow this book is going to be great. Was so stoked.

Then the moment you move away from the MC. Bam. Brick wall, full stop. You’re thrown into what is very much the equivalent of a staff meeting. Instant shut my brain off. I fell asleep five times in this one chapter. Like where’s the wonder? The mystery? The adventure? Now I’m stuck here listening to the command staff of an unknown empire about their 5 year war or whatever and the various performances reports of military units. The only thing I could relate to in this chapter is that I have to attend staff meetings in the real world too. This book is suppose to be about escaping that nonsense not fantasizing about it. It’s such a dump of exposition that you could put a headstone on top of it and call it my grave. It killed me.

Ya couldn’t finish the book and now I don’t even want to continue the series.

Narrator was amazing though.

Some deaths make no sense

Reviewed: 03-25-22

Some of the characters don’t behave how they should. One of the really good side characters is a trained battle hardened marine. Instead of doing everything he can to kill an enemy, he instead chooses to play wrestle the guy and ends up dead because of it. He somehow forgot he had his knife and two attack dogs to take out some average joe. Not to mention the girl he loved was held hostage. A marine would have killed the guy not wrestle him. There’s a number of times when people suddenly forget how to act when they should know how too. The second book is better but the main characters simply survive not due to their own merit but because of money, prep before z and how incompetent their enemies are.

Learn to make things concise

Reviewed: 10-02-21

I love the plot, and the narrator does an amazing job. That’s all the positive I have for this review.

L.M. Kerr, I really hope you take the time to read the reviews, because you have a story here that you’re suffocating with a burial of words. I have fallen asleep over six times, and zoned out more times than I can count from this book. It is utterly impossible to follow any sequence of events. You’re not just describing what did happened but what would have happened, what they tried to make happen, what couldn’t even happen, all at the same time. JUST write what did happen. One bit there’s a part where some guy back flips onto the roof, sixteen lines later he is some how still back flipping onto the roof, even though it was already stated they already performed that action.

One part of the book says fights don’t last a long time. Which is true, fights are fast, violent affairs but the writing extends the fights far longer than they have to be. Extends them to the point where, one I don’t know what’s happening because you won’t simply stick with what happened. It takes what should be the exciting part of the book, the action and makes it into something that’s akin to watching paint dry. Next thing I know, is that I’m dreaming about Homer Simpson betting on Horse Races. It’s way too much, cut it down make it concise. This should have been an eight to ten hour book max. There is legit that much useless writing in this book. You’re doing too much, you’re making the narrator do too much and lastly you’re making the reader/listener do too much.

Being descriptive is a good thing but remember less is more. The reader/listener isn’t dumb. It’s okay to let us imagine a little. Give us enough to get the picture and we’ll develop the exact details of the picture ourselves.
