Dungeon Master (Dungeon Master #1)

I didn\’t get through the story. The MC starts off saying how he\’s a dark god and total evil and then acts the complete opposite. He comes across as totally OP and can do some cool things, but then in execution it feels like one excuse after another why he can\’t do something – which was very off putting. The other thing that really prevented me from listening further is the voice actor. I know they were trying to do the voice of the MC but it just became so grating that I couldn\’t listen further.

Listen to the sample… That is the voice you are going to hear for 13 hours. 1 hour into the book and you will be begging the narrator to drop the character\’s cadence and just read the damn book. If this had been written in 3rd person, or the narrator hadn\’t picked a cranky old grandpa voice. This may have been a better story. I have found that listening at x1.25 makes the book way more bearable. That said, it\’s a terrible story. All said, it might be better to read this one, not listen.

I’m not going to write five paragraphs just to tell you all of the problems I had with this book so I’m just going to write a list. 1. The main character is supposed to be this evil dungeon Lord that is seeking to destroy the heavens. He recruits 4 women to help him because of “reasons” and set out to conquer other dungeons. The problem I have with this is that the main character is not evil at all. Your minds me of my grandfather with evil voice. He is extremely nice to the women that he’s traveling with even though they are disrespectful to him. He is extremely naïve especially for someone that has lived for more than 1000 years. And he is extremely boring. 2. The way the book describes the story implies a harem but it’s more like a journey with a man and his grandchildren. 3. No world building at all. The first time they visit a town they sell their stuff and leave. They talk about staying a night but it never happens. 4. This book is extremely slow on the boring parts and really fast on the good parts.

I want to first say that I have enjoyed a lot of Eric Valls books. But this book was hard to get through. The basic premise is that a fallen God upon veiwing a few women decides to leave his dungeon from boredom and a want to help the women become better. But the entire book the fallen God does absolutely nothing. He basically just stands silent watching the women figure out everything. He doesn\’t help the women progress or teach them anything. It was frustrating reading this book, spending the whole time thinking how worthless the main character is. Again I enjoy Eric Valls work and look forward to more books from him. This book was rough though.

This book is reminds me of an anime I saw a few months ago it was called how not to summon a demon This book reminds me off it’s a lot but otherwise a very good book well done can’t wait to get the second part and listen to it see how things go
