Okay, okay. If I’m being generous, it’s not THAT inaccurate. But it would be like summarizing Star Wars as if it were a book about racing.

My 2 stars for the book are because it’s a unique concept, a litrpg from the vantage point of a being normally reserved for killing. My praise stops here as I question the non-consentual, repeated vore thats written away as a problem because the target “suddenly likes it.”


Caution reading the rest of my review as minor spoilers are present below this point.

That aside. This book has an interesting concept. A monster gains a bit of sentience, and learns to grow. Because we’re dealing with a monster that doesn’t understand human morality I can forgive some things; like how the monster keeps eating it’s familiar.

However! Why exactly does the familiar go from hating it’s job as a snack, to suddenly REALLY enjoying itself as a snacc? I don’t know, but I could’ve dealt without the noncon, incel-esque vibes.

While I will readily admit that the rest of the series could turn out much better, and could look past the monster playing hungry hungry hippo with it’s familiar, I find it very very difficult to look past the familiar that is repeatedly eaten, hates being eaten, but it’s “okay because she secretly likes it.”
