The Revolution Will Be Isekai'd: An Isekai Adventure

Only Villains Do That, Book 2

By: D. D. Webb

Narrated by: Todd Haberkorn

From the author of the Gods Are Bastards series: The wickedly funny action-adventure portal fantasy continues—and things can only get worse . . .

Not long ago, Seiji was an ill-tempered, misanthropic man at war with the world. But then he was transported to a strange, savage realm for the purpose of literally making war on the world. In this reality, he's an extremely reluctant evil overlord with a temperamental goddess patron to please.

So in spite of his own natural unpleasantness, Seiji has tried to be the best bad guy he can be: providing for the downtrodden, offering healthcare to hookers, that sort of thing. Which has won him some staunch (but still diabolical) allies and a hell of a lot of enemies. Especially his main competitor in chaos and crime, Lady Gray, who really didn't appreciate being displaced by him.

But Seiji's coming to realize that despite his brash, bold exterior, his very human psyche is taking a serious beating from the extreme brutality he's committed and witnessed. In fact, he's starting to wonder if being such a big bad dude is all it's cracked up to be—or if there's any way out of all this . . .

The second volume of the hit fantasy adventure series—with more than five million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

It takes a Villain to Do The Right Things.

Second installment of the series in which a modern person is yanked from their life and Isekai'd into another world to be a pawn of Higher Powers - except rather than being the beloved Hero, our MC is involuntarily drafted to become the Villain of the story. Having absolutely zero interest in being a chew toy for the Goddesses game session, and throughly disgusted with the current social order in this new world, our MC decides to build an army from the dregs of society - the neglected, the down trodden, the abandoned - and tear down the corrupt Government, to build something that doesn't actually suck. Oh, and he intends on ruining the Goddesses Gaming session by flipping the board on them, All revolutions have to start somewhere, and this book follows our MC's building of his Dark Crusade.

Excellent story, characters, and narration - talented voice actors and just overall enjoyable tale.

I couldn't stop listening, can't wait for next book

Firstly the book itself is so fun! The characters really grow on you. And Todd does such a marvelous job of narrating. He groans and grimaces when injured, and has incredible range of voices. How he remembers them all is beyond me. I can't imagine anyone else as the voice of the MC.

Somehow, It's Even Better

The first book was amazing. Great characters, great worldbuilding, great humor, and great magic. The problems were nice and unique, the solutions fresh and interesting, and everyone felt like real, human characters. Consequences were real and brutal, and situations complex enough to bring the world to life. Plus, the narration was some of the best I've ever heard.

And yet I come to you on this fine day to say that somehow, the second book is better. Maybe because we have more connection to the characters. Maybe because they lean more in to the humor. Maybe because they turn the sheer charisma Seiji is projecting up to eleven. But somehow, Webb managed to make a sequel that surpasses the original.

It's a thoroughly enjoyable continuation of the story, and I quite like how everything progressed. I'd also like to thank the author for putting so much effort into finalizing this book, as I've heard it's been hard on their mental health. As much as I can't wait for book three, please do take some time for yourself.

In which the Dark Lord is tired of these weebs

The author and actor continue their excellent work from the first book. If you liked the first, you'll probably like this one as well.

I know it's not much of a review, but I've got to write something to give this 5 stars.

Long emotional diatribes mixed in with comedy

Ever wanted to hear an American voice actor do a Japanese accent, a Scottish accent, and a Scottish-through-Japanese accent at once?

The series is fun and ridiculous, but also emotionally deep, dealing with anger and rage and justifiable genocide. The soliloquies are awesome.

It's an excellent example of the chekhov's gun writing tool, where world building is organically used as part of the story itself
