a slog.
Reviewed: 11-07-24
feels like nothing is accomplished. like filler. 70% of this book is a single dungeon and the book ends as soon as it's completed. Still constantly repeating things chapter to chapter. there is a story this series is allegedly working towards but then we get a book like this where the main party is still split, we get no progress at all on that front and a few chapters of catchup so we don't forget they exist.

He doesn't want to destroy the world. Problem is, he's an Apocalypse. Zeke and his friends are enjoying the city when suddenly, the apocalypse begins. Which one? ALL OF THEM. Lucky (or unlucky) enough to be chosen as an apocalypse himself, Zeke sets off to [Devour] his way to the top! It wouldn't be so bad, but his best friend's out to kill him, that rock has a gun, and everything, literally everything, has gone to hell. Zeke just came out here to have a good time, and honestly, he's feeling so attacked right now.

Somewhere in the toxic Bone Pits, where mechanical nightmares roam, an emaciated and wounded young wolf clings to life. Wracked with pain, driven by instinct, it crawls across the subterranean landscape, avoiding the unnatural horrors that dwell there and seeking sustenance while fending off rats, insects, and other vermin stalking it as prey.

I think for certain people this book is a hit, but I am not one of them. The story feels so secondary to the character's physical growth and anatomy and it just drags on and on in excruciating detail. I was so desperate for just a single actual conversation between two characters when I realized I was like 12 hours into the book and the MC had only communicated with something one time. the entirety of the book is just him changing his body, thinking about changing his body, or walking while experimenting with his changed body.
the author has a second character there with him but of course they can't talk to each other, so sure make her blind and crippled and traumatized so that she can't offer any proper insight to balance the MC's inhuman perspective.
it's well written, the world is interesting, the narrator does a great job but the material is just so frustrating. all that world building and interesting details held just out of reach because the dog needs to consider his finger length and the intricacies of tendon to muscle ratios.
the ending is also very unsatisfying after 16 hours of slow buildup.

it's a fine book if you like he who fights with monsters. the similarities are honestly a bit too close for comfort but it's a fun listen and worth the purchase. looking forward to see if the author can find a way to differentiate this series from HWFWM as he continues writing future novels.

very irritating character. waffles back and forth and can't seem to understand anything he is told even seconds after it's said making everything need to be repeated. makes it seem like the author thinks we are stupid. vocal performance is excellent.

For years, Zeke Blackwood fought tooth and nail to defend the powerless and avenge the fallen, becoming one of the strongest people in the world and a match for any monster or magic-wielding sorcerer in the Radiant Isles. One life-or-death battle after another forged him into the ideal solder, meant for a war between good and evil. But when an encounter with the demon realm leaves him transformed, his body shattered, he's forced to follow a far more dangerous path.

Reviewed: 11-09-23
I really want to like this. I enjoyed the first few books but this will definitely be my last in this series. I really hoped the constant, unending introspection and whining would simmer down but we are 4 books in and every single decision the protagonist makes is STILL bookended by endless wishy washy whining. second guessing every choice, every action. it's exhausting. I don't want to skip so much, but by the half way point I couldn't stand hearing the internal monologue every 15 minutes. Narration is great though.

Noah Brown has a gift for fighting. Unfortunately, punching things doesn't pay the bills, at least until he died and an Eldritch god found his soul. The encounter brings him to a new world, summoned by bloody cultists. He's got nothing but the shirt on his back and a strange item in his system menu.

there are a lot of similarities between this and are who fights with monsters, as well as things that seemed taken directly from the game elden ring. it's a good book but it really stood out to me how it was just a little too similar to be simply inspired by.

frustrating.
Reviewed: 10-01-23
this book has pacing issues that are tough to ignore. I don't need to hear the characters every single thought about every single possible action. in the midst of what should be a 5 minute conversation the protagonist will have 15 minutes of introspection and thought.
tons of pronunciation issues in the narration as well but it isn't that bad performance is fine overall.
honestly I have skipped through a ton of this book 30 seconds at a time and missed nothing from the story overall.

If the broken neon signs, shuttered storefronts, and sub-standard housing didn’t tip you off, you’ve just wandered into the city of “Undisclosed”. You don’t want to be caught dead here, because odds are you just might find yourself rising from the grave. That hasn’t stopped tourists from visiting to check out the unusual phenomena that hangs around our town like radioactive fallout. Interdimensional parasites feeding on human hosts, paranormal cults worshipping demonic entities, vengeful teenage sorcerers, we’ve got it all.
