Series Review: The Exlian Syndrome Series – Seth Ring

Having gotten me excited with the LitRPG genre again with his Iron Tyrant Series, Seth Ring's Exlian Syndrome Series brings us a more sci-fi oriented story compared to the above. In a dystopian world where aliens known as Exlians terrorize the local population, its down to a group of awakened individuals who work as the …

Series Review: Iron Tyrant Series – Seth Ring

The Iron Tyrant series by Seth Ring has done something I didn't expect to happen so soon. It has gotten me excited with the LitRPG genre once again. Having consumed quite a bit from this genre in the past, I had reached a level of saturation where every story felt the same. Compared to most …

Series Review: The Dark Profit Saga – Zachary J. Pike

I believe I can thank booktube for this recommendation. The absurdity of the title and my current obsession with most things considered cosy fantasy and litrpg, made this one for the TBR list. Also being a Terry Pratchett fan, any form of comic-fantasy is something I find myself naturally gravitating to. Book 1 - Orconomics …

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. I started this writing this review well over a year ago, and in the interim my feelings towards this series hasn't changed much. Solo Leveling …

Series Review: Demon Slayer – Koyoharu Gotouge

The last anime I watched was Spy x Family and I only picked that up because I already loved the manga so I was aware what it was about. I went into Demon Slayer with no prior knowledge other than it was quite popular; and apparently for good reason. Demon Slayer occurs in a world …

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 …

The Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn is widely considered the series that launched the entire Star Wars expanded universe of novels, and with good reason.

Series Review: The Inheritance Games – Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a trilogy that at first glance gave me a who-dunnit vibe. I couldn't be more wrong. These books are teen romance with a dash of mystery to them. Would have preferred it the other way around but oh well. Below I've reviewed each book after reading them …

Book Review: Thor – The Saga of Gorr the God Butcher – Jason Aaron

The new Thor movie “Thor: Love and Thunder” introduced the character of Gorr to the MCU. While this portrayal by Christian Bale was different from the Gorr in the comics, this didn’t come as much of a surprise since the MCU is a different timeline as compared to the comic variant. That being said when …

Series Review: Fred, the Vampire Accountant – Drew Hayes

I stumbled upon Drew Hayes when I was looking for a superhero fix and had heard about his series superpowereds. While checking on goodreads I stumbled upon this other series called ‘Fred the vampire accountant’ series. I have to say that did make me chuckle a bit and the first book’s title, ‘The Utterly Uninteresting …

Series Review: He who fights with Monsters – Shirtaloon

This has been on my TBR for a while now. I got thrown into the LitRPG scene I think about a year ago with Will Wight's Cradle Series. I remember devouring those 9 books (at the time) over a period of 3 weeks. I'll upload a review of that sometime in the future. I followed …

Series Review: Absolute All-Star Superman

All-Star Superman is a 12 issue series from the famous Grant Morrison and Frant Quitely. Having been a fan of Grant Morrison's Batman run I was excited to pick this up. This is probably the first standalone Superman comic I’ve read but in spite of that it seems unlikely that any other could surpass this …
