DEATH FROM THE SHADOWS

Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don't fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy--the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?

So Stupid

You're an assassin with a near perfect skill for hiding your presence. You find out someone in power is putting a curse on the hero using some sort of crazy stone. What do you do? Silently sneak into their bedroom and kill them? No. Don't be silly. You sneak into their room, reveal yourself to them and show your face to them, tell them you know all about their schemes, cut the stone with your super awesome katana, and them leave them alive and go sleep in a nearby tree. What could possibly go wrong? Seriously, I think the author might be mentally handicapped.

Unfortunately, most of the plot is just as asanine. The entertainment value in this book is the same that one gets from watching a car accident or train wreck. It's actually kind of fun to sit back and be amazed that someone released this into the world. It's so flawed, it's almost endearing.
