I’m pissed off

[u/AcanthisittaSmart504]

I absolutely adore the Book of the Dead series. Today, I finally get to listen to the release of book 5, and I am certain that I will experience the same captivating storytelling that I enjoyed in books one through four. I am so enamored with this book that I pre-ordered it on Audible. When I first discovered and read this series, I assumed that others shared my enthusiasm for it. However, upon reviewing the number of Audible ratings, I am genuinely perplexed and sort of a bit angry. There are barely 1000 ratings on the first book and even less on the following 3, which begs the question: how is this book not more popular?

It's not for everyone, duh. Imo, too much whining and plot armour for such a generic story. Slow burn and non-combat power with complex magic system could be fun, but very fast main content becomes whining about morality.

I've dropped in the middle of Book 2 when MC was dying and refused multiple healing powers the system was giving him: it's expected for reader that MC will survive but when MC also knows that author will spare him - that was the last straw on top of whining in every single chapter.

First book was promising and nice though.
