Status Updates From Der Spieler

Chapter 7 done: a lot less actual gambling than I expected going into this so far and a lot more family drama and a kinda mystery thing going on. And it’s been a good thing because this man writes the main character in such a way where he just says anything and gets away with it. This man uses words as his power, talks his way out of any situation, or into any situation he thinks would amuse him

Chapter 5 and 6 done: man FD does just ramble on and on sometimes, he’s very self aware of it here though, and I’ve heard it’s much worse in his other books. At this point about a third through I am really enjoying it. The main character and the main relationship dynamic leads to very strong conversations and topics discussed.
