About this listen

It’s not easy being the most famous and attractive villain in the United States, but somebody has to do it, and it might as well be Via Rodriguez, aka “Empress.”

Via’s used to outsmarting the ever-so-arrogant heroes that come her way. However, her wicked schemes take an unexpected turn after a getaway gone wrong lands both her and her current foe - the annoyingly perky Electra - in the middle of an unknown land that is definitely not Earth.

Silverwall is bizarre, to put it bluntly. Via is suddenly imbued with diabolical magical powers; an annoying menu keeps popping up to tell her about mana and Status Points; and no one has even heard of the Internet. Stripped of her usual gadgets, carefully laid plans, and social cred, Via will have to rely on her wits, charm, and newfound demonic skills to navigate tricky local politics and amass enough allies and minions to survive. But if she ever wants to actually make it back home, she’ll need to cooperate with the last person in the world she’d ever want to team up with: Electra.

Fast-paced and snarky, Be Thou My Good turns some of the most popular tropes from role-playing games and genre novels alike on their heads to present an irresistible new take on the eternal battle between do-gooders and evil geniuses.

I liked it but….

It was a good story, I think it has some merit and some critical flaws. For as smart as the main character is, she should of been pushing her class hard but did not. The whole powerful magic was not there for me. I will listen to the next but it may be awhile.
Narration was good.

very enjoyable

honestly wasnt expecting a lot, but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the idea of two genres clashing and the humor was right up my alley.

I have to say I really enjoyed this book.

there's only one problem I had with this story is that part 2 isn't ready to go yet. I'm looking forward to the second part of the story.

Entertaining

There's enough interesting material in here to keep me glued to the story considering I consume this genre voraciously. I'm looking forward to getting the second book.

A book that builds up and up and up

I tend to like books that immediately catch my attention and run with it.

Sometimes I like books that build up over time.

This is both?

Nice funny casual story.

There needs to be more books like this. A lot lighter than Super Sales on Super Heros or The Dire Saga, but has is own unique charm.

Please write a sequel soon!

People should be raving about this book

This was an amazing story to listen to. It grabs you with the premise from the start, and then the characters hook their claws in you and from there on the story takes off so quickly there’s no stopping it. I love the characters, especially the dynamic between Empress and Rel, and the story is fantastic. I can’t wait for the next book.

It's fine.

It's an interesting story concept of merging Isekai and Superheros but it's kinda of just meh. Performance is good and I kinda just zoned out for the last hour of this story.
