Could have been great

Revisado: 10-14-22

Started out well but then did not progress till the very end. The end felt rushed and disappointing.

Felt like the whole story was just a set up arc.

Revisado: 01-12-21

It feels like the whole thing is just getting ready to set up a Mary Sue male main with his own harem of followers.

Not explaining anything leads to problems

Revisado: 12-27-20

The MC is pretty much just a mary sue type character that only ever seems to have trouble or problems when people don't bother to explain basic game concepts to him. Everything he makes is automatically the best it can be of that material. Set backs never feel like a big deal at all and everyone else is either immediately his loyal follower or is obviously evil and hates his guts.

Not explaining anything leads to problems

Revisado: 12-10-20

I couldn't finish this one. By the time I got maybe a third of the way into it I was sick of all the we won't explain anything just try to follow along BS. Seems like most of the problems could have been avoided if someone would just explain to the supposedly important demon slayer what was going on. Instead, they just expect her to know what not to do and what do you know, she does something wrong.

Painful to listen to

Revisado: 11-18-20

It is incredibly difficult to just sit back and listen to how absolutely horrible Dylan acts toward everyone and J.P. is just as hard to stomach. Even the "supportive" mom was really hurtful to listen to. The only character that was actually a mostly good person was Jamie. Honestly, At the end I was practically begging her to move on and never associate with any of the other characters again. It felt like watching an abusive relationship where one person knows they should run but, keeps going back over and over again.

This book really needs a good editor.

Revisado: 05-07-20

This book feels like someone took the first third of a decent novel and stretched it out to fill a first book in a trilogy. The author spends the vast majority of the book rambling aimlessly and repeating information that has already been given multiple times. I understand repeating important information a couple times to make sure it gets across but, this book repeats almost everything. Some minor things where repeated eight or nine times. It got to the point where I was seriously wondering if I accidentally repeated chapters. It has potential but, feels like it's only the beginning of a story and not complete.

Feels Incomplete.

Revisado: 09-25-19

I wanted to like this book more. It starts out okay, but quickly becomes very slow and plodding. By the end I felt like I had only heard the first few chapters of a new series. I liked the world building but, so little happened that the plot felt almost non-existent. This really feels like a book that simply can not stand alone on it's own. Read for the world building if you wish but, don't expect anything to happen story wise.

A lot of Nothing Happening

Revisado: 09-10-19

I tried with this one but, It was just so dang boring. The entire book just seems to be the main character gaining more and more powers and the plot never seems to go anywhere. It felt more like the first few chapters of a book instead of the first book in a series. I can't recommend this book at all in it's current state. Potential may be there but too much is missing.

A lot of nothing happening.

Revisado: 07-19-19

I'm fine with and sometimes even prefer long book series. The problem with this one is that nothing actually happens in large chunks of the book and it really starts to feel like the author is just padding the book out to make it longer.
I've seen more story progression in well paced novels only a fourth as long. It gets really annoying when it's because the book wants to spend long drawn out scenes where women he barely knows keep awkwardly flirting with the main character, Who is married. Also the two main groups keep getting close to meeting and then poof, random event says nope. This keeps happening again and again in more and more absurd ways. This is one book where less would have very much been more.
Take out all the awkward flirting, the infuriating constant near misses, and the repetitive explaining of the same stuff over and over again and this book would be so much better.

Had Potential but don't bother.

Revisado: 06-27-19

I really like the idea of this plot and the writing style is not bad. However, not much of anything happens and the rest of the series is basically a wish fulfillment borderline harem story.

I really liked the setting and enjoyed a lot of the beginning and middle. I wanted to hear more about the world and the way things are done. I was actually looking forward to seeing the MC grow from a green kid into a professional space trader. I really thought that it would be interesting. Unfortunately most of the process of him learning about the ship and him qualifying to move up is just kind of hand waved due to how super, amazing, uber, . . ect . . ect. . .ect. . . brilliantly smart and amazing he is. Yet he still has the mind of a young boy going through puberty.

I can overlook the juvenile outlook that the MC has on life due to his age. What I can't forgive is that every single time a new female character is introduced the book proceeds to talk on and on about how sexy they look and almost never develops any of them past sex object. The book does make sure to describe them as strong independent women but has them all act like horny teenagers.
