So I read this because I heard about it on Discord, with positive comments.  I realized going in it wasn’t going to be my what I would normally read, and fully expected to put it down quickly.  The fact that I finished it is somewhat surprising to me.

 

AI Love is very upfront with her kinks and writes to cater to them.  You can read about them in the warning on the Amazon page if you wish.   She says upfront she’s writing Litrpg-porn and she absolutely is.  This had landed her book in the erotica dungeon on Amazon, which is why you won’t see it on a recommendation list.

 

Now, why did I read the whole book when almost none of the activities cater to my preferences?  There are a few reasons.

1. The story is actually pretty solid, if somewhat standard Litrpg, we’re living in a game now fare.
2. The author has a gift for humorous turns of phrase.  There were several times I actually chuckled at the way she described something.
3. The characters are good.
4. The author takes some real risks by making the MC devoutly religious and overtly pro-life.
5. She knows her firearms.

 

So now to my rating asterisks.

 

For me the rating is 3/5.  I probably won’t read the sequel, but I might, just because it was entertaining.  Depends on my mood.

If you share any of her kinks, of which there are many, you will enjoy this book.  So 5/5 for that group.

If you don’t like explicit books, or porn,  0/5, don’t even pick it up.
