Book Review: Bullet Train – Kōtarō Isaka

TL;DR - Fast, funny, and action packed. A one-time read that is quite entertaining. Another from my ever-growing list of books picked up because a movie trailer brought it to my attention, Bullet Train has been languishing on my shelf for quite a while. In fact I had only recently just started Kōtarō Isaka's 3 …

Series Review: Solo Leveling – Chugong

Left: Solo Leveling Light Novel, Right: Solo Leveling manhwa Vol.1 TL;DR - Clichéd story with mediocre writing further hamstrung by an over-powered MC. You'd be better off watching the anime.

Series Review: Towers of Heaven – Cameron Milan

This is a litRPG trilogy written by Cameron Milan. I will review the series as a whole as compared to individual books, not for any other reason other than most litRPG books follow a similar formula and there isn't too much to say that would be different without spoiling the series. TL;DR review: Decent premise …
