the drinking game is pretty funny.

What is with that nasty banner at the top of the page?

Ops. Big reveal.

almost crying…

This came out a few months after Dungeon Crawler Carl. LitRPG, serial (I think), Isekai (I assume), so far so funny. I‘ve seen great reviews and others that complained about the MCs stance towards religion, society, etc. and complaints about the serial nature of the book. Well, d-oh. Continuing!

Saga vibes! An almost-android with a video screen instead of a head with a face.

My Pride Month read…

I am getting Moebius vibes.

The 1st chapter about NZ did a good job of explaining why all 2D maps of the world are wrong. I knew that, but this was a fun way of explaining the differences. And in the future I will take a much closer look for missing countries when I spot a map somewhere.

Chapter 2, about the US-Canadian border. Now I know why its so straight! This was the point in the book where I opened Google Maps to follow along the border.

Chapter 5 — love the storage unit, the 1966 Volkswagen and the three stooges!

Murderbot, is that you?

I like Michael and Walther.

Such a drama queen. 😂

Was Lestat always this ridiculous and over the top? So much fun.

Wow, I did not expect that! I thought this character would turn out to be one of the great heroes of this series! Bummer.

“He wished me a Happy Autumn Festival.” Anden stared down at the warm pastry in his hand but did not feel like eating it. [] “And he wanted to make it clear that if I become a Fist in No Peak, the Mountain will make a point of killing me.”

Anden was absent from the narrative for a bit. I am glad he is back, I like him.

“The car lurched forward, sending broken windshield glass across the dash; ...‘’

That was a pretty cool fight scene.

Gont Aschentu. The Horn of the Mountain. He is up to something… the plot thickens!

“A man who wears the crown of a king can’t wear the jade of a warrior. Gold and jade, never together. We Green Bones live by aisho. We defend the country from its enemies and the weak from the strong.”

Let‘s see how that goes! I don‘t believe it quite yet. I‘m hoping for Lan to be an honorable man. But perhaps he will do it to save everybody from a worse fate?

The author has lost me. I have no idea what’s going on.

This makes me think of the Foreigner series. Much talking about many things.

I admit to be slightly bored.

I am disappointed that a female author is applying such a heavy male perspective and conservative gender roles. Ayt Mada is an improvement.
