The Lighter Side of Darkness #2

Shards of Oblivion: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure

Rate this book
Bureaucracy is hard enough without a looming apocalypse.



As the newly elected Ruler of Nam’Dal, Momo thought dealing with paperwork – and overcoming her fear of public speaking – would be her biggest issues. But when whispers emerge around the resurfacing of an ancient artifact powerful enough to unravel the universe, every power-hungry person in Alois wants their hands on it.



Naturally, the gods don’t plan to wait around and see which of their disciples will win this rat race. Momo will face Kyros’s opposition at every turn.



But as she unravels the history behind the conflict that startled it all, Momo’s ideas of who is on the right side of this war, and who is on the wrong……might not remain so black and white.



Dive into Book 2 of this lighthearted and humorous (but epic!) isekai LitRPG, with a vivid world full of characters for Momo to meet, battle, bemuse, and most importantly—bring back from the dead.

fun

Momo is back! She’s now the ruler of a city with all its headaches. She has the super righteous coming to stop her while the universe tries to fall apart. She goes on a quest to find a stone that will let her change the rules and save the universe. She takes down governments, frees prisoners, and raises demigods. Just a normal day for Momo.

Fun story. Great pacing. Wonderful narrator. please enjoy

It’s Momo, what’s not to love

I’ve been a longtime supporter of this story on patreon and always enjoyed it. C.R. Dryad does vibrant and human-feeling characters with plenty of depth, even if they’re side characters with just a few lines. These books are fun and engaging. Give them a try if you haven’t yet.

I don't know why Momo was obsessed with the knight lady for so long, especially since she didn't get any sort of redeemable feature until right at the end.

A queen is born

Momo is changing and growing from the first book. It was interesting what her transformation was, she could really ram someone.

This was charming and funny! I really like Momo and enjoyed Radu a ton.

I wish an editor would fix the constant pour/pore mixup the writer seems to have.
