The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound 5

Abandoned about 30%.

I was already not feeling it in books 3 and 4, but I stuck it out. No more, I'm out.

First, the name is absolutely stupid. Just reading “Randidly” thousands of times over the course of the series is traumatizing me.

Second, we're getting more and more “staring at my navel” chapters like Defiance of the Fall and others where the MC works on his “core” or whatever bullshit. I hate those with a passion, and I was hopeful this series would avoid all of that. Nope.

Literally nothing important happened in the previous book, but with the Raid dungeon I was hopeful about this installment. Again, nope. Just stupid pointless quests and “big bad behind the scenes” bullshit, with a TON of horrible combat descriptions. Seriously, you suck at it, just stop.

And if I had a nickel for every time a character in one of these litrpg books faced down a powerful enemy (or group of enemies) and snorted or smirked, I'd be a billionaire. No joke, search the text of this entire series for smirk and snort and tell me that's not an excessive amount. Who even snorts in real life anyway, except on accident and with immediate embarrassment?

Oh, and Sydney? Spoiler alert, she's just a massive C word, and Randidly (ugh) is just a pathetic simp for her abuse. And Ace might actually be learning impaired. I guess it makes sense that Randidly (ugh) is re tarded as well with those two as his best friends.

I could go more into specifics, but it isn't worth my time. I gave it 4.3 books, probably 2 more than it deserved. Time to cut my losses like so many of these books should have done, but I guess that RR money is hard to pass up.
