Overpowered Magic Goo

By: V.A. Lewis

Narrated by: Tara Sands

Where am I? Why is everything so dark? Am I… dead?

Wait, never mind, I'm just trapped in a dark, dank cave filled with dangerous creatures in a magical world with Skills and Levels. I'll have to fight through friendly monsters that want to eat me, insane Dark Elves, and a stereotypically evil empire led by a stereotypically evil God King just to get the heck to the surface—all that as a blob made out of purple goo.

Well, anyway, I'm starving. Is there anything to eat around here? Seriously, I could scarf down a whole village!

Interesting if slow in story progression.

The story itself is good. The concept is not original of course, but it is well done.

The character interactions are believable, but I cannot say I find much depth in the Dark Elves as yet.

My only real criticism would be it was too short. That may be a personal failing of mine though as I prefer longer stories.

Confusing

The book is written in a whimsical, childish way that makes everything seem like a joke. This isn't exactly a negative as such a story could be enjoyable. The issue is the harsh tone breaks of frequent swearing and mentions of mature themes such as rape. If it was just a silly wholesome story about a slime and her friend I could see people finding a reason to like this story but as is I can't help but wonder: who was this written for?

Too much Light Novel Cringe

It's not bad, and I get where the author is trying to go with the 4th wall humor stuff, but it leaves the story really flat and a lot of the back and forth is repetitive and annoying.
