The Heroic Bunny Saga #2
Bad Bunny
In one day Tisk the bunny has lost her home, seen all of her fellow bunnies die, and broken one of the unbreakable rules by leaving the dungeon. It seems clear to her that her loss is simply some form of punishment for her transgressions. After all, why can’t the punishment come before the crime?
Now without any rules to guide her away from being a bad bunny, Tisk needs to find her way in the world. Luckily she has recently made the acquaintance of a group of adventurers. If she can’t be a dungeon bunny, perhaps she can at least be an adventurer.
This story is inspired by the Dungeon Core and the litRPG/gameLit genres.

I think I'll call these two books LitRPG lite. It has the setting down but there's no solid rule-based progression except as a hint -- and to me, this is kinda the core of LitRPG.
Of course, I began reading these with exactly one thing in mind: an extremely low-level dungeon mob gaining consciousness and power to eventually lord it over all other players or non-player-characters in a glorious free-for-all. As a bunny. And in my mind, I think of Monty Python. So there's that.
What we have is a pretty standard low-level progression that just manages to get through leaving the home dungeon and defeating a low-level dungeon, solo, and bandits. While all of this is still pretty cool and fully expected, the end is both extremely abrupt and unsatisfying.
And it's not even something like an ignoble death or being brought back into the monster fold or anything like that. It's a cliffhanger that leaves absolutely nothing resolved at all. You know, like 80% resolved, 20% cliffhanger kind of stuff? None of that. It's more 90% unresolved, 10% random adventure resolved. Alas.
Solution? We need a lot more. Or at least subsume this character arc into something bigger. But who knows? Maybe that will be the case.

Things Were Going Well, And Then…
I really like this story. It drags a bit in places when Tisk gets too caught up in philosophy, but then what would you expect from a dungeon bunny who accidentally became sapient?
And then…
MID-SCENE CLIFFHANGER ENDING.
Automatic one star rating from me. Do as you think best.

Good but not great
Book one started out with a great premise. Book two, became a little repetitive for me. It made sense for the main character to do a lot of introspection in the first book. But, to have almost 60 pages of self reflection at the beginning of book two was just way too much for me to rate this higher.

More Bunny adventures!
Tisk, the homeless dungeon bunny is caught in an existential chrisis, Is she a bad bunny? She left her dungon, or rather her dungeon left her. Did she steal Sir Ironpaw, or had he been using her to power the warrior?. These and many questions are sort if asked while she trys to figure what she's going to do for coin! The story tends to bog down a few times, but then a new adventure pops up and she's back whacking bad creatures while looking for her friends. Give it a chance, you'll like it!

why is the protagonist a bunny?
The whole concept of being a dungeon monster bunny is thrown to the wind with this one. The bunny is walking around in magical Armor like those old cartoons of kids in a trench coat trying to get into a R rated movie! It's absurd, more absurd than a sentient bunny! It's almost unreal that an empty armor with a bunny in its head would not be immediately noticed and attacked by anyone with eyes and ears. It's so stupid that I just couldn't believe it. When the bunny bought a room in the inn I quit. Why is the protagonist a bunny when you obviously wanted it to be a human? This is the worst thing I've read in a long time.

Much worse than the first book. The internal monologs are longer, dummer, less funny and often just repeat themselves endlessly. And is highly inconsistent if they take any time. Sometimes 10 pages of insane rambling takes no time in universe and other times people comment on just a few lines of introspection

I still enjoyed this, but it dragged a bit more than the first book. It also ended very abruptly with a cliffhanger that came out of nowhere. In general, I appreciated how Tisk did grow as a character, and progressed to doing new things rather than retreading old ground. But it seemed almost like a filler book, that didn’t have its own cohesive plot line and story arc. I do plan to read more in the series once they are out, though!

Refreshing take on a dungeon adventure
I absolutely loved both of these books. Such a refreshing take on the dungeon world and it's given me many good laughs the last couple of days. I was a bit surprised Tisk didn't convert her exploding bunny spell into combat magic, but also glad for it as it made the story more interesting. Can't wait for book three now!

This is a story about a bunny in a magic iron suit.
I really don't know what to say next. This is a bit silly, a bit ridiculous, and a bit perfect. The ideas and tone match up perfectly with the concept. It is off and sometimes disjointed, but it fits the overall idea.

incredibly creative
I liked how the perspective actually makes sense. I can see myself in the bunnies’ paws so to speak and that is no easy task. Well done. I can not wait for another book. Thank you!

Never thought I’d be so invested
Never thought I’d be so invested in the fate of a bunny. Good story with quite a different main character.

A good second book, made me laugh even more than the first one though the introspection and musings sometimes went a bit too deep and I found myself not paying attention. Still fun though :)

A fun series. Much less fluff than I expected.

Still loving this series, and how she's exploring the world now. I just wonder when book 3 is coming out!

This wasn't quite as good as the first book, but it still was enjoyable. I think Tisk spent a little too much time beating herself up mentally, I just wanted to tell her to get over it. She wasn't as loveable this time, I wish she had more interactions and adventures with townsfolk as herself (not the Knight). I will have to read the next one because this one just kind of hung there and didn't end, and I still love Tisk. P.S. She didn't get any more blue petals in this adventure.

This was a very interesting follow up book to the first in the series. It tackles ideas that are not normally thought of in fantasy type novels. Though it is a LitRPG Book in spirit, it does not seem to follow a lot of the covenants of what I am beginning to see most LitRPG has in common. I guess I would call it LitRPG Adjacent in the same way I would call Alan Dean Faster's Spellsinger saga Isekai Adjacent.

I had to remove a star for the cliff hanger ending. Gah.
