Lost Souls and a Demoness 2

A LitRPG Adventure

De: N. C. Lux

Narrado por: Rebecca Woods, Daryl Mayfield

The clock is ticking for Earth, and in more ways than one. Dangerous monsters are pouring out of the Labyrinth, dimensional events scour resources from the land, and beneath it all, demonic plots begin to bear fruit. Facing all this as a succubus wasn’t Jade’s first choice, it didn’t even make the list, but that ship has sailed. If she wants to save the world, she’ll have to leverage every advantage: Shape changing, seductive charm, and all the bonuses that come from wearing embarrassingly revealing armor.

Fortunately, Jade isn’t alone in this fight. New companions continue to join her as subtle signs point to a sinister force manipulating events behind the scenes. In their quest for answers, Jade and her friends may find more than they bargained for…

ignore the other guy

first, the narrator seemingly doesn't know how to pronounce some words, and it's grating every time I hear it, especially from a supposed professional. The best example of this is "anathema", which she pronounces as anna-thee-muh, instead of uh-na-thi-muh (I'm not the best at writing phonetics, but you get the idea). There are a lot more similar instances of words she seemingly doesn't know, and it baffles me that nobody caught any of them.

now, for the header

spoilers, but after listening to the scene that other person was talking about, I have to wonder if they were even paying attention. Yeah, she charmed the BBEG who was fighting her, but she only questioned them, because THE MC WAS LITERALLY STILL TIED UP WITH MAGICAL ROPE. She quite literally couldn't do anything to a much more powerful entity, because they were going to break through the charm too quickly anyways, and the MC was completely immobilized, which, might I remind you, was the entire reason her spell was powerful enough to even work at all, with her dommy mommy talent. Hence why I generally don't trust reviews all that much.

In any case, the book so far is good imo. No worries about adult content really, as everything is either fade to black, or just insinuations, but like, obviously she's still a succubus, so there's a lot of insinuations. The story gets more interesting, as there's a lot more travel and interaction with other characters. My only real complaint is that the author gives too much information to the reader from the perspective of other people on different levels of the labyrinth, but that's more of a personal complaint.

I like it, and if you enjoyed the first book, you'll most likely enjoy this one. I think it's better, at least by a little bit. It may not necessarily be an amazing book, but I enjoyed it.

amazing

I really enjoying this series the world building is very good it keeps getting better look forward to the next book I hope that the next book dose not take to long to fome out

Exercising procrastination

So this book was meh to me. I like how Jade uses more of her powers that was fun. But what was infuriating and this is more just a pet peeve as her always pushing off her stats or update I just hate that so much. And then there was like two or three times. Where she comes across a piece of information and then just doesn’t say anything for a good two or three minutes to build up suspense where it’s like. once is fine, but if you do it multiple times in a row, it’s just annoying.

DNF weird decisions

Non-specific spoilers ahead. The Mc is rational and decisive yet has some impulsivity issues in combat. Enter the Op BBEGs underling who confronts the Mc and weakens their willpower. The underling manages to accomplish this step of their obviously ultra evil plan. The Mc with weakened willpower manages to incapacitate the underling. Now the Mc has the perfect chance to suck the underling dry of power thereby gaining power and thwarting the evil plan while also saving the MCs life. Instead the Mc with weakened willpower makes the calm and patient choice to question the underling. This despite believing that the underling will soon be free and will then kill the Mc rendering whatever the Mc learns completely useless. How does that make any sense? It doesn't. It is deus ex, out of character, bs to unneccesarily further the chosen plot. Book could have been great for being in the Litrpg genre but it isn't.
