This is a story that starts with potential and then dies. Written from the perspective of an NPC, the Prophecy Chosen Companion has to follow an annoying exploitationist who wants to break the game. Since the companion was supposed to die at the end of the tutorial, the rest of the game world doesn’t recognize her existence. the rest of the story is the same batch if jokes, “I tried to talk to the store owner, but was ignored. I tried to fight a wolf, but was ignored. The hero made me steal from the store, and since the clerk didn’t yell at me, they obviously want me to steal from them.”
Aside from that, the characters who obviously have names before the game starts never use their names after the hero shows up. the party members names: the prophecy chosen companion, chosen one, sewer bard, sexy screamy spider lady, and definitely bad guy. listening to a combat sequence with these names is a headache and takes away from the fun I want to experience as a listener.
this book is an interesting experience, but not one I wish to repeat.
