The most fictional part of this book was the male lead, dude would have dipped out real quick on this girl. I had to stop 5 hrs into the story because for the last 3.5 hours I’d had to listen to the protagonist flip back and forth on “should I this, should I that, will I won’t I, I’m a bad ass but I’m not going to help…” it got really old and I saw I had 10 more hours of book.
I always enjoy the “trapped in another world” stories, and I always enjoy a strong female lead. and in these LITRPG books, you’re going to gets certain amount of mary-sue. but this story was not for me. the protagonist spent the whole time complaining and not doing anything.
also, I was shocked that anyone thought this girl was some how special. she is able to kill a guy in chapter 1 and thats supposed to set the tone that she’s capable. and that’s the last capable thing she does…
also, I can see that this author needs to learn how to better portray her NPCs, the aforementioned dude she kills gets stabbed in the back with an axe by someone else trying to kill him, and there was absolutely no reaction from said dude… like a wooden doll…
there were also a number of opportunities for the protagonist to step up and make me think she was even half the hero the entire cast kept painting her as, but every time she just sat there and let someone else take care of it.
with her family, the male lead, her friends problem, the gods…. Everytime she faced a challenge that could have made her shine, she did nothing and someone else fixed the problem.
