LitRpg was added as an error i suppose here and there there are some mentioning about gold or items or something. I have no idea why anyone would find this elderly sex fetish genre appealing. hes a piece of s****, yeah hes weak, no confidence, hes horrible 44yo: i kinda like him aaamm, im akward tooo 90yo: don't be silly, just forget him, hes horrible, but very very sweet, but not a good choice for you." This setup is immensely fucked up. (90yo f conversation with the 44 yo f in question) " 90yo: yes you know our common friend the 70yo dude, you like him? yes?! 44yo: yep, i wanna date him! 90yo:well you should not, he is an idiot, hes awkward as f***, and he hasn't dated ever, you should not even talk to him. and all of these lovely personalities are in vmmorpg world as 21 yo chars. Basically the book is about two 90 yo f& m who are cock-blocking a 70 yo m(three so called " best" friends) who want to get it on with a 44 yo f. Not a trip to the grocery store.For the bananas. Please, for the next book you write, remember that your job is to spin a tale with peaks and valleys, with bitter conflict and satisfying resolution. There were some conflicts with other players within the world, but they felt more like afterthoughts, and failed to deepen the story. Sometimes a reader can suspend their disbelief if the characters are deep enough for their own sentiments towards their in-game missions to carry over, but that certainly wasn't the case here. They are, after all, meaningless even within the context of the story. The primary plot device were the quests themselves, which at no point felt like they carried any weight. It wasn't much more than the author dictating his ideal personal romp through a virtual world. The characters were flat and uninteresting, their interactions were awkward and unrelatable, and nothing really ever happened. Despite this, there was nothing to enjoy. I will admit that I went into this knowing I did not like the narrator's work from other audiobooks, so I tried my best to separate my thoughts on his particular vocal style from the story itself.
The story was boring and uninteresting, the painfully cheesy attempts at humour regularly fell flat (and were throughly unaided by the narrator's exaggerated, forced delivery), and the use of language was exceptional in its repetition. While I am certainly a bitter person, I'm not often publicly mean, and so posting negative reviews are not something I do lightly. I'm wrestling with myself in writing this review, and there is a chance that I will not submit it. Here's a big fat 1-star for the sane readership.įelt like an 18 hour trip to the grocery store Forum Reading: The Novel.) When I see a book like this that presently has a 4.4 star rating, I question the integrity of the star rating system. Before that its some old guy reading a forum. 'Wh-What? You killed a level SEVEN BEAR? How!!!!'Nevermind the completely insane underreaction to a sexual assault within ten minutes of them getting into the game (which they literally don't get into for several hours. 'Oh wow that was worth 2000 experience!' Is that a lot in this game? I doubt it. They do the simplest things and its a WONDER to their eyes. With the potential to showcase an mmo idea completely unfettered by marketing, real life, and financial constraints, we get a group of retirees (which is very strangely emphasized in the book) playing an extremely bland game that has only three classes and three professions and its BORING. This story completely missed the point of this genre. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? What aspect of Jonathan Yen’s performance would you have changed? If the next is like this one, it will be my last. Has Last Horizon: Beta turned you off from other books in this genre? What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Dullards Play Bland Game Badly, Are Praised
