Victor of Tucson #2
Dungeon Delver
Unlikely hero Victor discovers the realm of Fanwath is even deadlier beneath the surface in the rollicking sequel to action-adventure fantasy Pit Fighter.
Suddenly transported to the land of Fanwath, Victor had a hard time adapting to a reality controlled by an omniscient “System” that rewarded strength, skill, and savagery with increased “Energy,” which was necessary if one wished to continue breathing. Then, after some truly surprising success as a gladiator-slave, the teenager ended up doomed to a life in the brutal mines along with a menagerie of fantastical beings possessing even worse luck than him.
But everything changes when Victor finds a way out—or rather, down. With the aid of a magical portal, he soon finds himself in a fabled subterranean dungeon-labyrinth, where his wits and combat prowess are the only things keeping him alive. OK, so he’s found a companion in the strangely alluring and witty Shadeni warrior-woman Thayla as well as an amulet housing a guiding spirit named Gorz. But even they won’t be able to help him now.
Because there are things lurking in the depths more deadly than Victor can possibly imagine. And if he ever does manage to escape the darkness, some very powerful—and vengeful—nobles will do anything to send him back underground. About six feet underground, to be precise . . .

ruining a perfectly good series
I really liked the first book in the series, but this one was pretty disappointing. The MC has turned into an idiot. He wants to save everybody while he is himself being hunted not by one but two powerful parties.
He defeats a powerful foe who is responsible of enslaving him and tries to kill him while cheating to stack the deck in a duel. Does he kill her? No. He spares her life out of some misguided sentimentality.
Throw in the fact that his best friend is utterly useless and utterly undependable and this book is a bit of a mess. I had to put it down at one point because I was getting really annoyed by the MCs stupidity.
He also refers to every woman in the book as girl even those who are 50+ years older than him.

if you’re looking for a smart Mc
Look elsewhere. Kept skimming the book due to disappointment. Most issues would be preventable but the mc just trusts everything in such a dark world. Not my ideal story.

The MC is the kind of person, who happily lets a stranger with an obvious bitemark into the zombie shelter, and then proceeds to let them keep watch while he goes to sleep.
I DNFd really early.

Disappointing ending
The book seemed to have a good flow until the last two to three chapters, and the last chapter was trash. Not continuing.

A series creating a strong identity but still rough around the edges.
This series has a lot of potential, even to buck some of the tropes of the genre, for good or bad. I feel like the foundations of the story are strong and the potential for this series is high at this point. But I feel the story is weighed down slightly by logical inconsistency and plot contrivances.
Here are some the notes I took while reading, which aren’t that many, and that’s a good thing generally:
-Why did Victor forget to get an enchanted slate for his sapient amulet?
-If scrying only ceased once they got the items from the special shop, wouldn’t it stand to reason they could have been tracked to that point? So then wouldn’t it be risky to then rent a place to stay from the shopkeeper’s daughter? This isn’t considered because the author wrote the plot and knows it’s not a problem, still it’s a sloppy plot hole especially after it’s later revealed he can be tracked with fragments of his core.
-I have to admit feeling a bit disappointed with the mercy shown at the climax of the book. Mainly because this is power fantasy, and a big part of that is bad guys getting what they deserve. As well as the fact the MC is a berserker, implying this is a vengeance/justice based series. But I understand the author wants something more nuanced. I’m not totally against it, but it did leave me feeling cheated.
-I also don’t like where the story ended. Though it’s certainly cool, to use Victor’s word, for the story to end where it did, I think part of the payoffs, that are a pillar of this genre, is in reveling in those moments with the audience. And though kicking this to the next book isn’t terrible, especially when I am catching up, I still think ending books in this manner is a mistake in this genre. Note: This criticism really only applies to the audiobook, as the author has since added the first few chapters of book 3 as an afterwords to book 2, making this complaint invalid for the ebook.
After reading the book, I feel like we still don’t understand Victor’s path. What his motivations are. Where his rage comes from. What does he want? To go home? To make a peaceful life on this new world? To settle down? Obviously, he can’t do any of those things yet, wouldn’t be so many books. So why don’t we understand the reasons why he’s choosing something else? I have no idea past this book, his motivations for anything. He’s free now. His friends are free. His friend is safe with her daughter. I had thought his motivation, for a time at least, would have been for revenge. Revenge against the man who made him fight in the pits. Revenge against those who summoned him. Revenge against the noble who crushed his core. Apparently not. Apparently he does want to go to the plains to live with the nomads, for now at least.
All this is me is a strong lack of logical consistency to the main character of this series. I have a strong feeling he will address these injustices, but instead of willfully focusing on them, instead as the result of them falling into place. Like say being targeted again for assassination, or happening to be in the town he was summoned and the pits are located. I’m personally just not a fan of author who write plots where one thing “organically” stumbles into another. Mainly because it’s not organic at all, it’s contrived. I prefer my MCs to move with intent, purpose, and strategy.
In summary, I feel like this story has a strong foundation of characters, magic system, and world building, as I went into detail in on my book one review. But I feel like the characters of the MC is unintentionally confusing and logically inconsistent. I feel like the plot moving forward is especially vague. And I fell like the payoffs are underwhelming, especially for a berserker based MC. That said, I’m still confident the foundations of this series are fairly strong for the genre at this point, not top shelf mind you, but strong enough to warrant continuing the journey on my part. I have read far worse after all.

Overall I really enjoyed this book, and it had everything I wanted. I was first afraid it would take place entirely in the dungeon, but there is a lot more of the setting introduced, and for that I’m thankful. The author does a really good job introducing us to characters and new parts of the world that make this feel like a true adventure. That paired with the main character, and the supporting characters (when the hand of the author isn’t being too heavy) make this another fun well paced story.
When it comes to the heavy hand of the author. Book two starts with a very sloppy attempt to get out of a corner they wrote into. A character who has been overly cautious starts acting rashly and way out of character for what at the time is an undiscernible reason, but eventually we find out it is my old friend…idiot plot. It was extremely jarring, and completely broke my immersion in the story. It is fine to give the characters issues to deal with, but when it is done like this, well it is just bad. There was no setup, no reason, just making a character act out of the norm because the author needed something to happen in the plot. It is frustrating, but these types of things are so common in the genre.
It is even more apparent after we get past that part of the story and everything goes back to normal. It is hard to trust an author who is willing to throw away a character like that, but so far it seems to be back on track, and everyone is acting as they have been built up and foreshadowed to. This series has the potential to be like some of my favorites like Azarinth Healer, primal hunter, and HWFWM, with an overpowered main character who loves to plow their own path and deal with any consequences from those decisions. I’m hoping it continues to develop like that, especially since this series didn’t suffer from the dreaded LitRPG book two syndrome.

the swearing has chilled out a bit by this book.
I was super annoyed by Lam at the end of the book. She promised to train Victor herself and then disappears off to the mine to set up a dungeon team? as if that couldn't have waited. And yeah she sent Polo so he could learn more about axes but he wasn't gonna be fighting an axe specialist so maybe it would have been handy if he trained against someone else for variety? And then she sends Thayla off to get her daughter without telling Victor? And don't even tell me it's so he wouldn't be distracted cos it ended up with him wandering for a few days doing nowt cos he was sad and lonely so it did the opposite of helping and then she's like now your gonna hang out in prison at the magistrates house for the last few days before the fight so he couldn't do any training and everyone's like "yup that's fair" and everyone in the city is now talking about Victor thanks to Lam too and the lad has way more enemies than just the mine family so now she's just painted a huge target on his back and he's meant to be pleased and grateful for all of this??

I give it five stars, even I am surprised.
Much better book than the first. Some of the emcees annoying issues have been toned down. there is good character power progression. The Character has become more likable as well as his number one sidekick. There’s plenty of action from beginning to end of this book, with some slice of life elements and some world building. The book is well paste and does not end on a cliffhanger. There are some aspects in the world building that the author has used in his other books but that’s OK. I enjoyed it immensely if you haven’t read it, please do even though I didn’t give the first book a great Rating start from book one. You’ll be glad you did and you won’t be disappointed.

interesting sequel
3.5 stars. It's a fine entry in the series. The first half is marred by several idiotic errors made by the MC because plot, but afterwards we finally get some decent world building. It's not enough, but I'm sure it will be expanded on later in the series. Also, the author learned his lesson and dialed back on the profanity by 90%. In the first book the MCs dialogue consisted of adjective, verb, Spanish noun, and the F word. I didn't think I was one of those people, but I'm one of those people who hate excessive swearing in their literature. Anyways, the Mc has matured greatly and does not seem like an insane murderhobo. He is a murderhobo, but it is not his defining characteristic.

Wow
I love stories, I especially spend a lot of time on progression genre stories. Without the intention of taking away from other authors efforts and achievements in the genre, that means I read a lot of rough and sometimes even shoddy work. This series is a breath of fresh air, the pacing is great, it's got a sympathetic MC that walks you through the character development without drowning the reader in the self flagellation of the MC, and the author even develops the world beyond just the difficult tribulations the MC faces. Easily makes my top 5. I'm very much looking forward to the next book.

What happened?
The final fight scene was boring. His sparring session was more exciting to read about.
Great story leading to the final confrontation, and then it's like the author got bored writing.
A few chapters prior Victor is thinking how his energy regeneration has gotten so fast that by the time an ability ends he's regenerated what he used.
Later he spends hours sparring and using energy and it never runs out.
Then one fight he's suddenly used all his energy?
His opponent low on energy forgets how to fight?
It makes zero sense.
Such a total letdown.

Series up to book 5 very impressed
At the time of this writing the quality of this author, in this series, is getting much respect from me. From the viewpoint of a woman the amount of respect woman are given here is refreshing and heart lifting. I am not a prude in my reading taste but I've never read a young man lead have so many different types of healthy relationships in a book. Thank you and the women in your life Plum Parrot. The third book brought me to tears.

Superb
This is a great follow up to a strong first novel in the series. Often these books start well, then fade into some Incel fantasy as the writer ties himself up in knots to justify the hero's misogyny.
However, I needn't have worried and the strong story and interesting characters kept my attention.

My biggest complaint about book 1 was the excess use of that fine old Angl0-Saxon "F" word. Thankfully the "fucks" are greatly reduced here, to a level that most people may generally use in stressful situations.
Overall a good read, and Victor has developed well as a character. I will happily read #3 when it arrives.

Excellent
The book was amazing, built up to the climax very well and the character development continues apace. This author has very good and smooth transitions where time skips feel organic and unimportant information isn’t consistently thrust at you.
Pick up a copy! Excellent!
Can’t waste too much time here. I’m off to read the next one!

brute force solves most problems.
Continuing from book one Victor and Thayla are traveling and fighting through the dungeon hopefully to freedom , the fighting is a bit tedious , Victor simply goes berserk and beats his opponent to death , Victor is an okay MC, a bit overpowered and I've got rocks in my garden that are smarter than he is , he's pretty naive but that may change.

ok read
The writing is decent and the story is mildly compelling.
Biggest gripe is that the main character basically has no true agency, always reacting to the world around them based on another characters plan.
Now that they have a clean slate I hope they start to establish wants and desires and goals.

it felt dry and I won't continue the series.
while focused on action it feels lacking proper narrative devices to justify the plot while the exposition is usually lackluster and achieved by having the MC talking to an all-knowing spirit tool.
even so, the thing that I am missing the most from this book is the poetry that usually enriches the story in this genre. hence the dry read.

I was Plum Parrot was a good author. The story is so cool, and kept me engaged throughout the entire book. but the writing is just so bad. Victor hardly experiences any character growth, and Thayla just exists to be a damsel on distress. The dialogue is the worst part. It's really unnatural, and the broken spanish is quite odd.

Read this series on royal road and every day I check
for a new chapter. Series only continues to get better and better as we go on. First couple books set the stage as we begin to explore and touch on a much larger universe. Love this series.

Addictive
I liked this second book as much as the first. Once I started reading this, couldn’t put it down and lost sleep at night because I kept reading just one more chapter over and over.

Surprise ending
Was pretty good book too with nice twist at the end. Had some ups and downs didn't love all of it but I'd like enough of it that I'll definitely be looking for book 3

Great follow up to book 1.
Builds well on the complications and characters from book one. The world building and power progression have also maintained, without getting stale or predictable.

two solid books
Now that litrpgs are more common they start to become too similar. Then I was happy to fall across this WELL WRITTEN book. The quality of the writing makes all the difference.

Nice story, but -1 star because there was too much focus on saving that friend of his. I mean, I get it, but it was also frustrating to read when it happened this much, especially if it takes such a huge chunk of the story. The first book had a lot more interesting things going on.
