This Trilogy is Broken #3
This Guild is Batty!
Invitation in hand, it’s time for Eve and friends to travel north in search of the legendary Dragonwrought. With a single-minded focus, they’ll trek deep into the mountains, willfully ignoring the onslaught of side quests threatening to derail their journey.
The only things anybody knows about the illusive Dragonwrought, greatest of all the adventuring companies in Leshk, are their deep connections to the dragons that roam the skies beyond their keep, and that they haven’t deemed take a new recruit in decades.
But nobody’s sure exactly how many decades.
Whatever awaits Eve at her new guild, there’s certain to be plenty of foot elementals, lungeons, and other patently ridiculous challenges to overcome and rewards to reap—assuming anyone can figure out what a lungeon even is.

you beautiful monster
The puns…oh, god, the puns.
But then, the most beautiful chapter title on the most appropriate chapter. The answer to the ultimate question with the perfect title.
I read three books in 2 1/2 days because this stuff is so good.
I can’t wait for the fourth book of the trilogy.

I just forgot that I finished this one and moved on to the next book it wasn't bad.

This book was on par with or better than the first in the series. I laughed out loud multiple times. The chapter titles themselves have so much character, they deserve membership in the Adventurer's Guild.

This series by now is keeping up a solid, reliable 4 star rating, though after two books, the epic, overarching plot finally rears its head, while the mood is gradually shifting towards a more somber feel. Don't worry, there is still enough craziness to go around to cheer you up, but it does make me wonder, if the stakes keep being raised, how well the comedy factor will hold up when all hell breaks loose.
There is not much else to say, it was a solid, entertaining read as always and as usual, I'm really looking forward to the next book.

Can’t wait for book four! Of the… trilogy?
Very fun read and continuation of the series. With everything else in it broken, I can’t say I’m surprised the “trilogy” is broken too and will continue, but I AM happy to see it, as it means more of it to read!
Good progression, interesting plot twists, fun and funny adventures (I’m not the only one that wants to take a visit to the luge on now, am I?), and more setup for the main plot! I am looking forward to the next book!

It's going good - but honestly by now there's way too much endless fights and too little plot & character advancements. Believe it or not, even action scenes can become boring if repeated too much.

This review covers all 4 books in this (broken) trilogy:
#1 – This Quest is Bullshit (also released as This Quest is Broken)
#2 – This Class is Bonkers
#3 – This Guild is Batty
#4 – This Plot is Bananas
Hard to not pick up this book after seeing that title and when I was tagged in twitter by that dastardly David (@BookMeanderings), it was instinctual that I picked this up immediately. And boy, glad I did. This was a breath of fresh air fun read that put me in a smiling good mood! I wanted to try out Book 1 but ended up reading all 4 books (yes, it’s a broken trilogy) back to back over a course of 3 days. Time well spent!
The book starts off with our loveable MC, Eve standing in a queue to get her life quests from these mysterious questing stones. With dreams and imagination running rampant, she’s dropped down to earth harshly, when her quest is the fetch a loaf of bread from the next town. She’s disheartened….until she see that the quest difficulty is graded as Legendary, (while her friends quest to slay a dragon is merely Epic in difficulty)… And so starts the adventure! Bakery fires and bakers on holiday thwart her mission all the while she and her friends has to fight off monsters just so they can reach the next town to try their luck for the bread. Not to mention, she gets constantly interrupted by pesky side quests. Making things worse is that then Quest System itself seems to be making up milestones on the way without any plan, you know things are going to turn to chaos. And when they realize they have to save the world to get that damn loaf, you know you are in for a legendary read!
This is a books that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s quirky, nonsensical and totally fun to read. Every single trope of adventuring and quest has been subverted and poked fun at replete with campy bad (good kind of bad) puns. But then it has a charm of it’s own that kept me reading with a smile. The MC and her group are charming, loveable and have a chemistry that just make you root for them. Their adventures are lot of fun to read even when I realized that the actual plot kicked off seriously only in Book 4 but that doesn’t take away anything from the previous books.
It’s just so easy to binge read that I recommend everyone to do it.

5 It Really Took Three Entire Books For The Plot To Finally Start Stars
This Guild Is Batty! is the third book in the This Trilogy Is Broken series by J. P. Valentine.
Oh, the answers abound in this book. Yes, Wes' class turns out to be just as horrifically comprising as it seems from that fateful day of their journey where he received the quest to hear the whispers of the devouring flame. How anyone could be surprised of this outcome is beyond me. Yes, we learn a portion of the causes that destroyed the Burendia people: their own fatal folly. Yes, we finally delve into a portion of the mystery surrounding the Man in the Mists, and the aforementioned game afoot. There is, of course still much left unknown.
I was glad to have Alex reappear in this book. Her behavior is not overtly surprising, and her return was heartwarming. That characters personality leaves little room to enjoy her rejoining given her more quiet and practical nature is truly the only downside.
Preston is precious. He is honestly too good for us poor mortals. Adopting all the scared monster children, out of the goodness of his caring heart. That he is the only person to having the blessing of more than one God since the creation of the Questing Stones is not in the least bit surprising. What he will face in loving our dear foolish pyromaniac will most likely decide his fate. I can only hope he makes it out the other side of this collective craziness.
Dragonwrought ending being completely different than I was expecting, but honestly way more entertaining. I cannot spoil this comedic genius. My only concerns is in regards to how Wes' life quest ties in.....

Similar to the first two books, this one was gripping and I finished it very quickly. The things I like about the first two largely remained the same - decent humor, good satire, enjoyable character relationships, absurd plots, and the numbers/stats continuing to go up. I also appreciated the light touches of Eve's worries about whether she's really human/alive or not anymore what with her mana body that she can disassociate at will and that is held together by willpower.
I still can't really give it a five because it feels more like a popcorn flick (not in a bad way!), with a fairly shallow plot/themes, occasional typos/flat prose, etc., but I'm so entertained I can largely handwave those away.
However, the ending seemed to shift to a more serious tone, so I'm curious how the last book the series will compare, what with Wes' becoming a vessel of the devouring flame (with the genuinely creepy flame burning away all his other class upgrade options and then spamming the vessel class so he had no choice but to take it), and Alex being on the other side in some vague war between powerful entities that seems like it will kick into high gear. There are quite a few sideplots that seem like they will need to be resolved (the burundi crown, trellac dad, will they go back to the capital/will the Emily thing be resolved?, the burning flames, Wes' dragon-killing quest, the stones being afraid of their own destruction + the war/potential fight with Alex, the phantasm remnant light things being added to their group), so I'm curious how everything will wrap up.

Quick synopsis
: Eve and her friends continue their D&D-ish adventures and continue to level up and get more powerful.
Brief opinion : It's not you, book, it's me. This four book series is "comedy LitRPG" so it's 100% on me that I was ready for something more serious but read this book anyway. Of course it didn't work for me. (And if I ever hear another scone joke...)
Plot : Basically what it says in the quick synopsis section. Dungeon crawling, leveling up, and many many many puns.
Writing/editing : While not perfect, for a self-published series the editing in these books is much better than average.
What I Liked/What I Didn’t Like : I really should have stopped reading after the second book, so my issues with this book are on me. I usually read serious, darker stuff, and after two "comedy" books, a third was just too much for me.
Puns rarely amuse me at the best of times, and this book was full of them.
The characters all became super special, unique, and powerful, which I don't like but that's pretty normal for LitRPG books.
Again, all these issues are on me. The book never tried to hide what it is; it lives up to everything the cover says.
Rating: 1-Hated / 2-Disliked / 3-Okay / 4-Liked / 5-Loved : ⭐️⭐️ - Disliked. Maybe one day when I need a break from heavier stuff I'll come back and read the final book of this series, but that won't be for a while.

This Guild is Batty! by J. P. Valentine: Adult. Comedic LitRPG Fantasy Adventure. Friendships. Third-Person Shifting POV. Allies. Skills and abilities. Monster Fights. Levelling up. High Stakes. Satisfying-Injury-Tropes.
This Guild is Batty! is the third novel in This Trilogy is Broken! and its amazing, well-written, captivating, and as with the last two instalments it put a smile on my face numerous times. Our young Adventurers are levelling up quickly, some more than others, but the higher they raise, the higher the stakes also go, and soon something might catch up with them.
This Guild is Batty! is an epic adventure packed full of monster-fights, humour, ridiculous situations, unexpected twists and turns, and heartfelt friendships and allies. There are new places to explore, new people to meet, old enemies and friends to reunite, satisfying and poignant realisations, and more witty banter and humourous side-quests. There are many moments and chapters I love throughout this book, though my favourites would have to be Chapter Fourteen and the entire Avendreth Manor sequence.

4.25/5.
It feels like this series is consistently good but falls just short of greatness - unlike the author's newest series, Stargazer's War, which I would consider great. The plot is interesting, the jokes mostly hit, all of the main characters - Eve, Wes, Preston, Art, and Reginald - become more fleshed out and their character dynamics and interactions are fantastic to read, the balance between humor and seriousness is decently well done, and the combat is pretty solid. It's just something about these books, as enjoyable as they are, makes them fall short of the five. It could be that sometimes there are just too many jokes, the pacing isn't always perfect, and the development of the overarching background plot feels weak while the main party is bouncing around place to place.
Still, I really enjoyed this book and am quickly moving to the next and final one. I need as much of this gang's adventures as I can get.

The adventures continue with this disparate band of punny degenerates (see what I did there?)
The Outposy and The Lungeon were great but the Guild? I'm surprised there's such a lack of enthusiasm for a new member after so many decades. And not a comment about Carl messing up the initiation too. Seems like the Guild is goos for loot & storage but not for much else. I was hoping for wisdom from aged adventurers. A place for our scooby gang to ask for guidance. Alas, no.
But then, we have the Haunted Manor. A fun little dungeon. I'm hoping we see some of these 'character' show up again. I was half-expecting Greothrax to join the team after he got his sock back. I can see the Manor becoming a grinding theme park for the Adventurer's Guild though.
This latest series of adventures was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot.
I enjoyed it - 3 stars

3.5 stars rounded up.
The silliness continues. While not quite at the same caliber as the first two books, this installment is still plenty fun. Eve and co adventure their way to the famous (infamous?) Dragonwrought guild/castle on the edge of dragon territory, with much of the book's focus on them team clearing dunegons (and not always conventionally) to win first the Dragonwrought's stamp of approval before concentraing on gathering contribution points to exchange for new equipment in the Dragonwrought's vault.
While we see some interesting development's in Eve's class, the most fun (imo) came from seeing Wes and Preston both hit level 50 and all the shenganians that those milestones entailed.
Pacey, fun and full of puns, listening/reading this series is fast becoming my favourite way to unwind after a stressful workday.

Overall this book is a great and funny read.
The things to like:
- The many many puns
- High quality banter between the characters
- Side character pay offs that I didn't even know I needed
- Penetrating descriptions of abstract environments
- The chapter titles
- All the little throw away jokes and references (i.e. a witch's den with a walk-in oven)
The things to dislike:
- The many many puns
- I waited too long after the second book to read this and there was no recap of anything. It took me about 15% of the book to remember what was going on and who all the characters were. I would have preferred some light reintroductions to the important features of the series. It is important for authors to remember that readers will not remember everything between books.

“Why do I need a thing? Can’t I just be an adventurer without embarrassing myself every once i
I really liked the third book in this series. It brought us into a guild, which was far from what our adventurers imagined it would be. It brought new dungeons to clear and monsters to destroy. I like the pacing of this book and that the banter has returned. I know some of the jokes and puns are juvenile, but it's what I expect from 18-20 year olds, and I still find them humorous. While old friends surprise us, I was absolutely captivated by the last 1/4 and where the author took it. I genuinely can't wait to see what the final book entails.
“Why do I need a thing? Can’t I just be a badass adventurer without embarrassing myself every once in a while?”

Another great book in the series as the overarching plot comes to a head. The character study of classes vs personalities and which one creates the other / comes first is interesting. As always this book is memey as all hell; especially the character titled “it only took 3 books for the plot to reveal itself”….also so many dick jokes lol. Love the explicit ally-ship of Wes and Preston’s super cute relationship and Eve’s potential crush on the queen?!?! (Super cute I ship them). We love non misogynistic/ sexist / homophobic litrpg’s (bc we all know how often you have to ignore that disgusting bs in the genre)

Very fun reading
This is a fun crazy series of books. It’s imaginative and there is really no plot until this book but that’s ok because everything they do is fun. The supporting characters really keep the fun going too. The only issue I really have is that the author suffers from the inability to call the characters by their names. So you randomly get “the Defiant One took a drink of ale” and “the Priestess took a bite of his sandwich” instead of just saying Eve and Preston ate lunch. It’s a trope of fantasy web novels that I find annoying. It’s not a deal breaker though and I still look forward to what’s to come, and I plan on reading the authors other work.

The last book of the trilogy is where the story starts as it seems.
The story continues, our heroes keep their growth, some in a positive way and some in a more sinister one. The real players of the plot are revealed, the secret behind all the weird stuff that was happening is finally known to our heroes! And… the book is done.
Well this trilogy is broken, so I guess it can have more than three books.
But long story short, this one was every bit as good as the first two.
4.5/5 highly recommended as a light comedy read.

Eve Joins A Guild Full Of Old Bats
In this novel Eve and company learn some of the reasons why the Questing Stones gave them their B.S. life quests. Also, they learn more about the "game" they are caught up in — though those who are playing with them remain as mysterious as ever. The puns and jokes continue; as they always do.
This novel, and the quartet of books of which it is a part, may appeal to fans of the wider Fantasy genre as well as to fans of the Dungeon Core genre and to any reader who appreciates puns.

4.5⭐️
This book was awesome. There were so many instances where I laughed aloud. Though the last adventure they went on was a little long the cliffhanger we were left with was worth it.
I was very glad we got to see more of Art and Reginald and got to hear their POV's in this book. And as the name of the last chapter implied, the plot is thickening now that we are on the last book. I am so looking forward to all of the shenanigans the adventurers will get to. Even though we have a very serious mission ahead of us I am sure the gang will be its funny self.

I am so looking forward to all of the shenanigans the adventurers will get to. Even though we have a very serious mission ahead of us I am sure the gang will be its funny self.

I have really enjoyed this humorous LiRPG series and story. That gang of adventurers would never be expected to work well together, but each person’s unique character and abilities gives the group strength and knowledge to overcome the many dangers they face. I especially love how they tease each other. Eve is impressive on how much she can charge and Preston may be my favorite character with his gentle nature and seeking good in most of his situations. I look forward to reading the fourth and last book in the series next, This Plot is Bananas!

I was so glad that I found this series after all of the books had been released, or else I would have been counting the days until the next addition was published. I devoured this third volume and remained encapsulated the entire time.
I love all of the characters, the interesting levelling up mechanics and the world as a whole which has slowly been unravelled for the readers. Most of all though, I love the lungeon and the world’s most adorable pastry chef <3

As solid as the other entries so far, though, for me, a bit more enjoyable than book two. The characters, worldbuilding and systems work better when the cast of characters are on the move and book three has plenty of forward propulsion.
Overall, if you enjoyed or liked the first two books, you'll feel the same way. If you were nonplussed by the series so far, this book won't do anything to change your mind... Though the ending promising *some* kind of change.

Started strong then started floundering
Disappointing to start such a fun series and realize the author ran out of steam before finishing it.
While this began a genuinely funny but meaningful series, the third book falls onto ridiculousness. Assuming because the author got bored.
Milking a foot elemental. For real? That began the descent into breaking from trying to write an actual storyline.

A great plot with even better characters
After Alex’s death in the last book I found all the fights and conflicts that much more exciting to read and each time I was almost expecting someone to be killed off. And as the plot thickened you could say the ‘real’ plot of this series has now begun and everything is extreme.

While the genre shift at the end was a LITTLE off-putting, I still enjoyed this immensely. Self-aware, punny, imaginative; just straight fun. Definitely looking forward to the next book, because this one verged on a cliff-hanger. I have no idea how Valentine is going to wrap up so many storylines!

Nope!
I pretty much knew from page 1 this wasn’t going to end well in the way I was looking for. And than to shamelessly pander for Patreon on top of it.
So upset it makes me want to go back and change my ratings on the other two to 1 star!
Definitely done with this one!

I really liked this serie, it's funny full of action, the characters are likable and the friendship between them is really heart warming. I was ecstatic to find out it doesn't end in the third book, can't wait for the next book.

This book finally answers my complaint about the previous two, namely that they just end...it's part of the joke. Again, comedy is better, the characters continue to grow, and not just in stats. Definitely recommend.
