As disturbing as it is boring, this book fails to establish a strong motivation for any of the main characters. To avoid an assault charge the protagonist agrees to a pact with a dark god that gives him unspecified powers in an alternate world he knows nothing about. Supposedly he is driven to not be a bad boss to his underlings, which promptly he doesn’t think about again for twenty chapters. He meets a couple of minions who are similarly aimless. One appears to just be along for the ride and the other is the token gold-digger who, of course out of greaf, decides to have sex with the person who recently murdered her last boss. Couple this with profoundly disturbing imagery, like waking open heart surgery and brain eating slugs that crawl in your ear when your asleep. Despite not being my cup of tea I can actually respect for the imagery as an homage to the works of HP Lovecraft. I think the narrator actually greatly enhanced how disturbing the monsters are with eerie, creepy voices. However, in some places the narration is too overwhelming with overlaid sounds that make it difficult to hear. With litrpg becoming a more flushed out subgenre I advise you that your credit is likely to bring greater satisfaction if spent elsewhere.
