How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying
by Django Wexler
Doesn’t live up to the premise. So much wasted potential
I always love when WebNovel and Isekai concepts are executed by traditional fantasy writers but this is definitely not it. The title and premise says there’s going to be a lot of dying and ground hog day shenanigans but that’s a huge lie. Without that this becomes another Fast paced YA story. The so called advantage and magic system is barely shown and used. Not just that but it has little effect on her and the story. She supposedly did these stuff a lot before changing tactics and has amazingly gotten absolutely no extraordinary skills in anything for her position. What wasted potential The characters are not interesting, opponents are not interesting and developments are also basically executed. It’s an entertaining story though the Mc is very funny and her decisions and internal thinking is Hilarious , I don’t get bored reading it. The kindle version makes good use of footnotes to enrich the story which was nice. Modern references are there a ton I didn’t have much issue with it. Like this is soft fantasy and there’s not much to fantasize about.
