That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon by Kimberly Lemming
adventurous

2.0
I was expecting a fantasy comedy with monsters and honestly it only half excelled at comedy and sucked at the rest. The world building had its moments but overall it was shallow and dismissed as soon as the stakes were too high or the MC needed a way out. As for the comedy I could see where I was supposed to laugh but the chronically online jokes didn't land and I'm afraid will only get worse with time. Skipped the smut scenes, first because they were cringe but they quickly devolved into problematic bioessentialism.
On that matter, for all the author's claims about diversity there were so many questionable choices, especially the slavery plotline. Which you know, if it was just a silly book I wouldn't question much but if you're gonna sell yourself as "diverse fantasy writer" maybe put the work behind the words.
