i found myself strung along frequently by an interesting hook or concept (the main character maybe being an abuser, the main character being coded like jorgumandr the devouring world serpent, the god of death possibly being a trickster god) but invariably, these interesting ideas and hooks were either dropped to the wayside, handled so poorly they lose their interest, or turned out to be nothing at all. The writing is rather formulaic (main character finds an equal level monster and wins immediately, or a stronger monster and has a fight and wins), and the main character doesn’t seem like he has a strong characterization.
Overall, the book is typical of the subgenre and doesn’t add much in comparison to others of the type. If you’re looking for something new then look elsewhere.
