![]() The characters in the book range from genuinely amusing to annoying. In books like this I would normally question if it was a translation issue or a problem with the original writing, here though it was clearly a part of the original novel, even if the translator didn't help in fixing it. It honestly feels like the sort of incomplete writing I would have done when I was a teenager and had a great idea for a scene, so I'd cut corners to get to it. Usually though it just feels lazy, like the authors want to get to the next scene as quickly as possible. ![]() Sometimes it's played for comedic effect, for example instead of describing one of the battles we are given a recap of it on a group message where people post what is going on. ![]() No, I would go so far as to say I legit enjoyed much of it… but it is TERRIBLY written. I finished it and despite its faults I don't regret my time like I do on many two star rated books. There's a lot here to enjoy, so I really wish that I would have liked it more. If one grew up playing JRPGs there's a lot of humor in here that cracked me up as it certainly plays off the clichés gamers know and love (or possibly hate depending on your feelings on the genre). Now, give that fantasy RPG world the internet as well as cellphones, have the hero be a shut-in who has been cursed to the extent that he has 1HP and cannot level up and have the Demon Lord be a pretty nice person who constantly sends him messages about visiting. Take your classic Final Fantasy JRPG, including an all powerful Demon Lord who has kidnapped a princess, take a low level hero and have him go on a quest to reach the Demon Lord's castle. So, this is a genuinely amusing little idea.
