The most notable thing about the third<\/a> Psychokinetic<\/a> novel is the technical errors. There are quite a few editing-related issues such as garbled\/missing words, duplicated sentences (in one case an entire duplicated scene), and even a couple completely indecipherable engrish sentences. Relatively speaking there aren’t that many, but they do unfortunately stand out quite a bit when they appear.<\/p>\n

That issue aside I’m not sold on the story’s progression aspects. The strength of various antagonists just comes across as completely arbitrary with each combat encounter feeling more like stage dressing to justify granting the protagonist higher levels. The implementation of which seems fundamentally flawed in general, individual strength being completely discordant from stated level. So, yeah, I don’t think I’ll be following it any further.<\/p>\n

I’d initially dismissed Amazon’s recommendation of Haylock Jobson<\/a>‘s Heretical Fishing<\/a> as too goofy. But after seeing Dungeon of Knowledge<\/a>‘s author recommend it as well I decided to give it a chance… and I’m sure glad I did.<\/p>\n

While it is absolutely just as goofy a comedy as the description would have you believe, there’s also some bite to the underlying events and background setting. Ultimately what it will come down to is whether or not the comedy style works for you, as it’s what everything else revolves upon. Well, that and being able to relate to a ‘master of the universe’ who threw it all away to go fishing and magically ends up even more well off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
