I'm a completely blind reader of LitRPG, progression fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, and some nonfiction. Interact with me @fastfinge@iceshrimp.social as well as here.

Some important warnings:
  1. Some of the content creators I enjoy publish exclusively to Kindle Unlimited or Audible Originals. I choose to support the creators I enjoy, rather than boycott Amazon. If you don't want to see Kindle or Audible Books, you may want to avoid my profile.
  2. I don't agree with the views of some of the authors I read, or support some of the political views contained in the books I consume. I rate books based exclusively on my enjoyment of the story.
  3. Some of the books I read contain adult material, that may include, but is not limited to, sexual activity, violence, harems, reverse harems, FFM, F/M, and F/F. I will do my best to warn about this material using the tools bookwyrm provides, so that those who don't want this content can avoid it.
  4. I believe that audiobooks and ebooks are reading, in every way equal to printed hardcover books. If you do not, your engagement is unwelcome.

Jack L. Chalker: And the Devil Will Drag You Under (Paperback, 1984, Del Rey)

Review of 'And the Devil Will Drag You Under' on 'Goodreads'

I'm a sucker for framed tales, as well as for morrality in my fiction. This book contains plenty of both. It's thoughtful, yet easy to read, with an interesting[return]and fun plot and characters. The message, on power and society, is a powerful one. The point it makes isn't new, and I'm sure it's been made many times[return]before in fiction, but this is still an original take and worth the read.

Moore, John: Heroics for beginners (2004, Berkley Pub. Gr.)

Review of 'Heroics for beginners' on 'Goodreads'

This book tries so, so hard to be funny. Unfortunately, it fails. This is probably because the author is unable to detect the fine difference between funny[return]and silly. The difference is hard to explain. The problem this book has is that all the jokes it tries to make are old and overused. Everyone has seen[return]how silly the things the author pokes fun at are, and has already laughed about them. Now they're just silly; all the fun has been removed by other and[return]better authors.
