Wrong Divinity

Oh Sh*t! I F*cking Hate Spiders! (Arachnomancer, Book 1)

De: Dustin Tigner

Narrado por: Qarie Marshall, Reba Buhr

Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion, every bone crushed, every organ popped against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck speeding through a red light.

The only part of him intact—whole—entirely unaffected by the grisly affair was his soul. Souls are durable things, you see, like kids: they bounce.

And bounce he did, into the abyss between worlds, drifting until one excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home, a heaven for gamers and nerds and everything in between.

It was all he could have ever wanted in the afterlife, down to choosing his class, killing mobs, and exploring a beautiful fantasy world chock full of mysteries yet to be discovered.

At least…it would have been those things if that first day had gone a little tiny bit differently.

Instead, he now finds himself locked in the middle of an eternal conflict between Light and Shadow—humans and monsters—potentially being the enemy to all.

Wrong Divinity is the start of a new GameLit series that balances comedy with serious themes. It's an isekai—a portal fantasy—to the spirit realm. Join Dhane, our underdog, as he explores his new world, a world full of unique characters, RPG mechanics, and spiders—ugly, terrifying spiders—while he learns what it means to be an Arachnomancer.

Good set up

This is not a story about an op protagonist. Our MC gets rocked nearly every step of the way in his journey. While I think the power scaling/leveling aspects and pacing get left by the wayside most of the time. It balances that out with an interesting world and characters.

The narration was pretty good. Qarie Marshall did a good job for the men but struggled voicing the female characters. I just wish we got more of Reba Buhr. Her solo chapter was really well done. Just makes me with this was a true duet.

I'll definitely be picking up book two. Hopefully, it's not too long a wait.

aggressively mid

i know every work is used to make another, and I'm not sure why but this tale feels stale

Mc getting beat

I’m 100% from now on in any litrpg gonna always skip the first book. It’s wild how many nvm not how many but all have the Mc getting destroyed, imprisoned, and tortured. With him just being a turd. That’s what this book is and I don’t think I’ll checkout the second one.

Narration was fantastic.

I loved the humor and the narration sold the humor exceptionally. His writing style had a great cadence, which made it an easy listen and likely aided the narrator.

Story was okay. Nothing overly engaging but definitely an enjoyable listen. Weren’t many places where I missed parts due to external distractions which to me gives it a positive review from my viewpoint.

Get..ON WITH IT!

The pacing is drearily slow. MC wastes 90 percent of his time fumbling around conversations, making the worst possible decisions, and slapping spiders. Then somehow the book seems to skip OVER the one time it seems he made a good choice then backtracks to let you know it wasn't all that good.. The ending made it seem like the next book will be better, but we'll see. I'm invested now, for good or ill.

toddler girl and a creepy boy

The 4yr little girl spider was really creepy I just can't you didn't have to bring up any type of relationships with her.

Reminds me of "Mayor of Noobtown"

The first half was a bit rough with lame humor and eye-rolling arachnophobia. However, sometime into it, things switched around, especially during those last few hours that made sticking with this book all worth it in my eyes. The MC goes from an utter nerd with unreasonable fears to owning his own powers, becoming a bad*ss. Hint: Don't throw someone away where they can have an all-you-can-eat exp farm. That being said, I'm now hooked and can't wait to start the second book, hopefully it maintains the momentum of the last portions of this book.

UPDATE: I'm almost done with book 2, and it has doubled down on the quirkiness and lame humor that I dislike so much. I appreciate humor, especially dark humor, but this leans more towards slapstick, reminiscent of books like "Mayor of Noobtown." If you enjoy that style, this book will be perfect for you; it's just not my cup of tea. My greatest frustration lies in the concept of an Arachnomancer, a character archetype brimming with fascinating and dark potential, which seems misplaced in a comedic setting.

Good start lacks execution

It started off with a new way for litrpg but start to make it about good and evil. Fight the good fight, fight the system, became very drool with its execution. Sadly took the simple way to write this book.

Mashup

It feels like a Mashup of He Who Fights Monsters and Looney Tunes directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Fun Book!

I really enjoyed this book! Tigner's story always keeps me on my toes and I actually laughed out loud during this book. I highly recommend it if you are into LitRPGs.
