The Wrath of Jerry

A Progression Fantasy Adventure (Good Guy Necromancer Book 1

De: Valerios

Narrado por: Miles Meili

Death is the first step on Jerry's path to ultimate power. Ostracized by his fellow villagers, hunted by bandits, and watched by the Royal Guard's least elite squad, Jerry is called to balance creating a lovely home with practicing his craft and unleashing death and destruction on his enemies.

Unfortunately, taking it slow is not an option. Wizard supremacists tour the Kingdom, Archmages enact devious plans, and the world needs Jerry more than his village does. Adventure calls—death is overrated, anyway.

Thrust in the middle of ancient conspiracies, Jerry is not only determined to survive and thrive…but also to enjoy the process.

Experience this laugh-fueled slice-of-death Progression Fantasy by Valerios, best-selling author of Road to Mastery. Follow Jerry down his path of necromancy as he grows in power, proving his unorthodox methods may hold a lot more merit than it seems.

4.5 stars

I was excited for this one since I first heard the sample chapters from the end of another book.

I enjoyed it a lot, but there were a few things that bothered me. This MC really leans into the idiot protagonist trope. Making him damn near the Forrest Gump of protagonists.

He sorta just wanders through life, expecting everything to work out. And if it doesn’t? Oh well. lol. It can be endearing, but it can also stretch the limits of my suspension of disbelief.

I’ll look forward to the next one.

MC tends to have a child's innocence

this was a fun listen the mc for once isn't a know it all or a genius, he simply wants to have a few friends and treats everyone respectfully while still willing to go out of his way to fight.

Great start to a new series!!

Pretty great start to a new series!! Jerry truly is a good guy which is very hard to be in a crazy world full of magic!

Interesting angle

The good guy Necromancer is a new angle. I’ve read books where a Necromancer is the he protagonist but in this book he actually tries to be good and not edge lord-y. The constant Necromancer discrimination got a little old but it was understandable and a realistic reaction. The MC was fun and used necromancy in interesting ways. The plot was entertaining too. The narration was well done.

Disgusting dismissal of serious matters and idiot MC.

first I want to be completely transparent that I stopped listening to the audible version of this story at chapter 20. I do not know the consequences or outcomes of any of the plot points from this point forward as I promptly removed the novel from my library and will not ever be touching it again.

the story was tolerable up to a point given the MCs essentially brain dead nature. the author was trying to shoot for Forrest Gump with mixed in comedy and instead we got just plain stupidity and situations that are brought about because of that stupidity which are then magically fixed by that stupidity.

it is not a compelling story or anything of note in that regard.

my real problem comes from chapter 20. the MC discovers that one of the characters is being cucked by his wife and in his stupidity tries to figure out how to convey this message. the author makes a big show of this being a silly thing and something to make fun of and laugh at it and be goofy. which was the first blemish.

the next blemish came when they put it in the perspective of the person being cucked and because of the MC's stupidity situation is created where the person misunderstands and so the MC just doesn't say anything.

the entire situation of the cheating and cucking treated like some poor comedy sketch routine and it's written by someone clearly does not understand the weight and true pain comes with something like this.

he simply writes that it just passes with time and you get over it everything becomes better and then it's not that big of a deal.

when you truly love someone that deeply like this character does with his wife the level of harm and true depth of soul crushing pain that is caused by the cheating and the cucking is that something you ever just brush off.

I am absolutely disgusted with this author and disgusted with this story and disgusted at the fact that I spent a credit on this. there's nothing funny about this there's nothing funny about turning into a comedic situation.

it's just disgusting.
