Miller ruins this story for me. His ridiculous OTT zealotry gets grating really fast. It really doesn’t help that his voice is modelled after Schwarzenegger, making it all the more irritating.
Lee is a terrible protagonist and doesn’t help matters either. Him continuing to let Miller run his mouth is almost as infuriating. I found myself yelling at my phone like a mad man countless times: ‘Shut him up!’ ‘Say something and stop internal monologuing!’ etc
Finally, the RPG elements are super minor and inconsequential. This is a regular fantasy story that very lightly sprinkles on LitRPG elements – not at all what I’m looking for.
