A truly awful movie. Like, Armageddon levels.

I finished up the Red Mage books that are out, and it was adequate. I'm definitely down for future installments, and it has enough distinctive elements that Boyce's apocalypse has its own flavor, but it's hard to rate it better than "Okay." I moved on to probably the second most popular litRPG series on KU, Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is much more humor-driven than any of the previous series, and a good portion of the jokes do land. It also has more emotional realism than probably any of the other litRPG series I've read. Princess Donut, Carl's ex's show cat, has a fuller character than most of the people in those other books. Also, no politics! I mean, intergalactic politics, yes, but for the first time in a litRPG, there are zero manifestos or ham-fisted set pieces.
