Members Reviews:
The only bad Mahanenko book
Unlike the author's other works, this book is exceedingly gritty, graphic, and dull. The narrator isn't nearly as good as his past works, and the mechanics of this LitRPG universe are fairly wonky and technical.
Warning for younger/impressionable readers:
The book contains some extremely graphic incidents of violence right from the beginning. Expect bloody description of people being blown to bits and tearing out someone's throat to drink their blood. Expect explicit sexual references, which are far stronger than the author's other books.
Most, but not all of the curse words have been edited out in translation.
If that wasn't bad enough, the plot really struggles at some moments and the book feels about 5 hours too long.
Not for kids
Finally a book that's not all about feelings. The characters do what they have to.
Some good parts, but mostly depressing unenjoyable
the first few hours of story plot is just painful and disinteresting. As a reader you are struggling to understand the motives or working of this world. Compared to the "Way of the Shaman" books, this serie is not nearly as well written to thought out... this version of the Beginning: Dark Paladin is a rough draft... I can not recommend this series as it is now
plot holes... plot holes every where...
the world lacks in gaming-logic. too many plot f#ck ups calling it the game don't make it one...
As flat as the narrators voice
The worst litrpg to date, and I've listened to quite a few. Uninteresting plot, stale characters, and poor translation from Russian to English. I've liked other books from this author in the past but this one is just plain boring and bad. The narrator doesn't help by narrating with all the emotional depth of Mr. Data.
Save your money on this one folks.
