Viv

Revisado: 03-20-25

The story is amazing. The lore and world building are immaculate. But by god Viv is the most annoying character I can’t get over. Last book, every time something major happens to someone she cares about her immediate response is to lash out at her friends, surrounding, and overall make the whole situation about her. Everyone had to find her and worry about her instead of the actual person she was angry for.

She did it in the last book, and she’s doing it in this one.

I can’t get over that.

Amazing…

Revisado: 02-20-25

This is by far the best series I have ever read. The way the author incorporates troupes, references, and pop culture into the story of a man born in a fantasy world is masterful. The narrator, by far the best I have heard, that plot revelation near the end of the book gave me goosebumps. The Traveler was simply her.

The narration.

Revisado: 02-14-25

I just want to say the performer is one if the best I have ever heard, and I’ve been binging audible for the past 4-6 months. The voice, variety, accents, his overall capabilities as a narrator is something that should be standard. I love everyone of the voices and inflections he assigned to each character.

Nice and Gritty

Revisado: 01-20-25

Loved every second of it. Its only the ending where it got a little lazy. What does “bottom out” mean if the MC empties his mana with one woman, then steals the brain of a monster a moment later? Thats some high mana regen.

From LitRPG to Korean Rom-Com

Revisado: 12-23-24

The first two books in the Heavenly Summoned Demoness series started off strong, but this third installment, The City of Spires, feels like an entirely different story—and not in a good way. As a fan of LitRPGs, I appreciate narratives that maintain a steady grind, consistent pacing, and effective use of LitRPG mechanics. The first book excelled in this regard, showcasing Elania’s constant struggle for survival. Her progression, skill acquisition, and strategic use of those skills were not only engaging but also essential to the story.

The second book introduced romance, specifically with Yolani, but handled it in a way that enhanced the narrative rather than detracting from it. It added depth to Elania’s journey by presenting new challenges, such as hitting a plateau and needing to upgrade or evolve her abilities to move forward. The romance was present but not overwhelming, serving as a complement to the action and adventure.

Unfortunately, the third book veers wildly off course. What started as an exciting action-adventure now feels more like a melodramatic Korean romance novel or comic. The story is bogged down by unnecessary love triangles, love squares, and an overabundance of romantic drama involving handsy divine beings. By chapter 33, the focus on unwanted sexual advances and excessive romantic scenes has become excessive, overshadowing the LitRPG mechanics and core narrative.

This shift in tone and focus undermines what made the first two books compelling. The story’s balance between action, progression, and character development is lost, leaving readers frustrated with a series that started with so much potential. 30+ chapters in and Elania has made no moves to improve herself in an environment where she can actually protect the people she cares for and tackle the other Divine Beings on equal footing. She made no moves to evolve her skills, no moves to find a way to improve herself divine abilities, or regular skills. She’s just… going with the flow…?

Like the last book, too many side characters

Revisado: 11-12-24

This book and the last are among the worst in the series. It’s as if you are using this influx of pointless side characters to add frivolous filler to your books. A cheap tactic to increase the length of the books while doing little to progress the story. If I am able to skip the pointless side characters while still being capable of following the story of the main characters, then there’s a big problem. The overall story is good, the way you blend RPG and Wuxia together while using the great powers to add various stereotypical themes that comes with these genres is brilliant (SCI-Fi, medieval, swords, guns, magic, realms, etc). But by god dude, limit the side stories and keep your book centered.
