Welcome to the worst LitRPG experience I've ever had!

The introductory blurb I kinda skimmed through and I thought it sounded generic but serviceable. You know me, I like dragons and I especially like dragon POVs so I was in, regardless. Then I reread the first sentence, saw the words "ice cream" and my eyes bulged out of my skull. That's basically this book in a nutshell.

I want you to go click on the Amazon link and read the description. I want you to experience what I experienced. Now let us continue.

Reading this made me feel like I was slowly going insane. The premise, a dragon made out of ice cream, is incredibly goofy, but is neither the focal point of it all nor entirely ignored. It's kinda just... There. Instead 90% of the book is dedicated towards killing and eating various animals. That's literally all it is. That's mostly all that happens. What isn't literally just that is some plot developments taken from humans' perspective with generally unclear narrative purpose, half of which intersect with the actual plot none at all. You think the book should end when it hits you with some absolutely insane shifts in power level, but then it continues for two more chapters of eating thin gs and making RPG skill choices. Then it just kinda... Ends.

The physical writing isn't great either. The book has some incredibly strange turns of phrase, horrible and wild shifts of narrative perspective, many typos, and is just absolutely baffling once you look at it as a whole. Baffling is such a good word for it. I'm baffled.

Overall, I don't know if it's "so bad it's good", but I now know I absolutely without a doubt need to get friends of mine to read this, just so I have someone to join me in my newly obtained madness. This is without a doubt the worst book I've ever seen through to the end. I am without a doubt purchasing the sequel.
