A review by donsmilo
The Mayor of Noobtown by Ryan Rimmel
Did not finish book.
Got halfway through.
This book suffers from annoying writing style, unrealistic depictions of actions, and an annoying "loser due to accident" main character. It's standard litRPG
Style: 1/5 disliked
Characters: 1/5 disliked
World: 2/5 fine
Story: 1.5/5 slightly disliked
Keep in mind that I have only read half.
Style:
Lacking. The writing style seems juvenile. There is something about the continuous exclamations and the common, bland assessments of game elements that just turns me off.
Characters:
At first glance, annoying. I didn't finish though. the main character seems to be the usual blundering smart-ass who somehow gets repeatedly lucky. He does dumb stuff like cavorting around with a demon who wants to kill him as well as not selecting the godling class, and then spends tons of time talking about stats and class. He, in his infinite snark, is able to goad demons into trying to commit suicide. It's painful. All my complaints are for most litrpg, but this one in particular failed to make me invested in at least the main character. At least other books make you care a little.
World:
I haven't read enough to evaluate it.
Story:
The story was inherently annoying. The first setback the main character faces is that he had access to the godling class, but was too stupid to click yes and got stuck as a warrior. This ruins the story for me already, because I know now that all the upcoming conflict could have been avoided by the main character being luckier, making the rest of the story seem like meaningless "catching up". The first win the main character has is when he goads an old, hyper-strong demon into essentially falling off a cliff into a planet. This makes no sense. There is no given reason why such an old and powerful being should be so stupid as to be goaded into nearly killing themselves.
