Soul Canvas #2
Talent Killer: A LitRPG Adventure
The shadow of betrayal lurks in every corner.
Adam has taken control as the new Lord of Penumbria, defeated two fearsomely strong Ghosts, and stolen multiple abilities using his new Talent. Now that he's established his power base, he wants to do everything he can to improve his city's dismal situation, hoping to give his subjects an easier life.
If he's given the chance. A diplomatic trip to the Puppet Mines goes awry when a specter from his past comes back to haunt him. Adam is summoned to meet with the Painted World's Emperor, who is offering to legitimize the upstart Lord's position.
Yet Adam knows it won't be that simple. Uncertain of who to trust, he'll have to watch his back – lest he find a knife sticking out of it. Despite his best efforts, war might be inevitable.
So be it. They may have started this fight...but Adam will be the one to finish it.
Book 2 in this brand new Isekai LitRPG adventure from KamikazePotato, the bestselling author of An Outcast in Another World, together with Rafael Kalleen.
About the Join Adam in this weak-to-strong progression fantasy where victories are difficult but earned. The plot has consistent forward momentum, and the story's cast of characters is fully fleshed-out, each with their own struggles. Fight scenes are high-octane brawls that involve creative applications of Adam's abilities.

About the author
KamikazePotato
25 books75 followersHello all you lovely people! My name is Brett - a.k.a. KamikazePotato - and I've been a massive fan of fantasy stories since the first time I first picked up a book. Over the years, I've devoured well over 100 fantasy novels, dozens of fantasy video games, plenty of fantasy TV shows and movies...you get the idea.
Naturally, this made me want to create a fantasy world of my own. Around the time I decided to sit down and write a story I would actually share with everyone, I also got into the LitRPG genre, and here we are.
I plan to write plenty more stories in this genre, and to spread my wings out to other genres as well! Writing is a joy, and so is getting to see people enjoy what I've created.

I think the author is trying to write a series with greater emotional depth. I applaud the intention but the execution fails.
(a) The big Eric vs Adam scene falls completely flat. The emotional back story is rushed, unsubtle, and vague. Adam's character is never believable. Eric's character isn't even developed.
(b) The discussions of art are vague to the point of making it seem like the author knows literally nothing about art. Adam and Eric "practice techniques" and then "practice other techniques" and do more art by learning "techniques". A few actual concrete scenes about drawing would have helped immensely. Instead it feel like the author just didn't bother to do any research at all about painting (or any other visual art).
As a side note, the characters have come down with a debilitating case of that litRPG malady know as smirking syndrome - over 60 smirks used, most incorrectly.

Lots of clever character stories
This book really explores its characters conflicting and aligned motivations. Every character is well characterized and has a clear personality.
The plot is obviously character driven, but the book does have a satisfying plot line. The world building is also very interesting.
Overall, I'd highly recommend it.
