Couch Potato Chronicles #2
Couch Potato Crisis
Princess Kiwistafel has been kidnapped.
Again. (But this time it’s personal!)
The Player of Legend—Tasha Singleton—sets out with her ragtag group of friends to rescue the princess. But Kiwistafel’s kidnapping is only the beginning of Tasha’s headaches. The menu clocks tick ever backward toward the world’s end, as Entropy, the serpent god of destruction, looms in the sky.
Will Tasha save the princess from Queen Murderjoy? Can she collect the remaining elemental orbs on time? Will Pan accomplish her quest to make Ari—her summoned figment of a father—a permanent being? Can Kiwi forgive Tasha for accidentally betraying her to Murderjoy?
Most importantly, who will win the Wombat Island kart racing championship?
Find the answers to these questions and more in Couch Potato Crisis—the penultimate volume of Couch Potato Chronicles.

*This is a LitRPG/RPG Gamelit novel with stat progression, video game mechanics, and narrative spreadsheets. It features heavy satire and the kind of silly over-the-top situations you might expect in a 16-bit video game.
**No velociraptors have been harmed in the production of this novel.

I really love this series so far. I didn’t love this one as much as the first but it was still really good. The first one follows Tasha and gets a lot more of her character development and relationships. This one delves more into the world and fixes or explains various game mechanics and world features more clearly. It felt like there was a wider range of characters that we jumped between and I missed the focus on Tasha but it led to a deeper plot and moved the story along to greater depths. I’m so excited to see how this story ends!

It’s a good read if you like a story based story where the protagonist gets teleported to another world where the laws of physics follow the rules of an RPG video game. The story of Tasha and her friends continues in Etheria. I won’t mention spoilers. Now, I will tell you that the story builds on the characters we met previously in the first book. It has a brief prologue to bring you up to speed with current events, something I found very necessary since I didn’t read the first one, although this book came into my hands. I’m sure you don’t need to read the first one to understand this one, but if you want to, it’s a bonus. There were things I didn’t like, but I can’t talk about them without writing spoilers. It contains illustrations of the generic RPG-monsters found in this story. I think it’s a 4/5 for Couch Potato Crisis from me and a recommended fantasy book for lovers of good world building.

I think I am much more forgiving of this book than I am of the first.
That is not to say this one is any less derivative or less of a collection of popular tropes interwoven with pointless pop culture references. I personally feel, like the first book, the majority of these do not properly stick their landing.
However, this book does have some concepts in it that made me sit back and thing, "Hey, that is a good idea." Or, even, "Wow, that is seriously messed up. How is it I never thought of that all my years of GM'ing?"
I think this book--slog that it was--was worth reading. Not sure I can say I am looking forward to the final book in the trilogy, but I can say I will be reading it for sure.

This was a blast! A great continuation of the series and even better than the first. My biggest issue was the time spent in game vs out of game and it was explained in a satisfying manner. 👍🏾👍🏾
