I feel like this book was written in a day after having had it as a dream. it was apparently narrated in a day as well.

Lots and lots of lead up. in fact it's all lead up. nothing happens until the last quarter of the last chapter.
Don't get me wrong. It still has elements of entertainment. But it's all lead-up. It's all set up.

Grood story but stole another authurs trope

So far the story remains good with an excellent balance of character development & interaction with plot, world building and action. But then the author uses a plot item lifted without adulteration from Shirtaloon's He Who Fights With Monsters series. Right down to the entrance prerequisites. Not sure how a good author justifies this.

I know many people enjoy the visceral feel of someone in embarrassing situation after situation. I don't.

this story was bad. I don't know whether to hate the author more or the people who reviewed this book and thought it was a great idea. I do enjoy antiheroes. but this anti-hero completely takes the Cake for making us wait half the book just to find out what his power is. and then whining about is power for the remainder of the book minus the last seven pages where he's suddenly awesome. the whiny self-doubt and self-loathing goes on and on and on and on!
admittedly the narrator was absolutely fantastic with the material he had to work with.

Well the world building probably has good bone. I mean, there are off side references to them.
the main character remains an enigma to the end. The hard-boiled detective who's secretly empathetic. but it's not done well enough for us to find him a sympathetic MC. The female token sidekick is stupid enough to drag down the story all by herself. But fortunately she has the MC's help.
I suppose if you are trapped in a hospital ICU with nothing else I might make this the 30th or so book recommendation.

Juvenile writing of illogical simple gods & happening

I wrote a story like this when I was 13. It also wasn't a good story, just like this one. It was simplistic, naive, and had illogical choices and expectations. the gods know things and do things but they don't know how because the author can't figure out how to make it fit into the story. The bad God is a basic simplistic evil.
the audiobook is red slowly and lightly as if to second graders in their Sunday school.
It appears self-published Kindle books are rated on a different scale than professionally edited books. NDF and seriously regret the moments I spent on this book.

I really tried but DNF.
Dull and formulaic description of how the MC does all the things. No emotion except the sterile description of surprise of others in the story as the MC does their thing. All challenges are blandly detailed and effortlessly handled.

Everything in the story that could have been interesting or emotional or challenging was walked through in such a matter of fact manner that everything in this story was boring as dusty cardboard.

the hero is incredibly unobservant and naive. it makes it very hard to believe that they have such intelligence and smart as their history implies.
the epilogue implies so many different characters that the hero will eventually be entangled with but the incredible shortness and simplicity of this story makes me think it's a setup for a series of 30 books.
