So I decided to give pic related a try. Looking at goodreads reviews, they called out the author for being a Nazi piece of shit. That naturally got me interested, since the book is about killing fantasy monsters and monsters from the folktales. Maybe he had his vampires all be jews or something similar?
Turns out that was the regular reaction of liberal parts of fantasy story community for the author saying that conservative stories are being underrated.
In the story, one of the main villains is a Portugese man who conquered the Mayan temple and turned into some evil being due to Old Ones, yes from Lovecraft, he controls powerful vampires, the main one is a Nazi.
Then to add to the colourful cast, our protagonist has an old Jew inside of his head, a black man and hooker are part of his team.
So what about our protagonist, is he a racist? He is a mutt by his own words 'my ancestors got around, the race is hard to pinpoint', paraphrasing but close to his own words. He has no problems with anything really, except he hates Grant.
What is so special about this guy you might ask? He is the current boyfriend of his crush, one great female who is a gun tottin badass who kills monsters and comes from a lineage of monster hunters who own this group of monster hunters. Yep, it's a human vs monster novel, and that dude is simping hard. As in every time he is around our great female lead, everything revolves about him loving her.
As is tradition, she doesn't refuse his advances, yet is adamant she is together with Grant, who is described as perfect Prince Charming, but is seen as our MC as a pompous prick, so you know how it goes. Our MC is ultra special talanted in shooting, a very important thing for a Hunter and from the fight scenes, the only important thing. He and Grant are at odds and in the first mission Grant leaves him to die in a situation where only plot armour can save him, which it does. This surprisingly doesn't instantly fuck over Grant, and changes nothing really, but he isn't present for the good part of the novel. When he does reappear again, he is kissing the female lead, cucking our dear MC still, but then couple of pages later Grant gets kidnapped by a vampire and his fate, while I haven't read it (I read 2/3 of the novel so far), its already set up to be either death with redemption, or turning into a vampire to be killed. Yey MC. Female lead instantly hops on MC's dick, kissing him not even a day after Grant gets missing. Yey for MC.
What is so special about our MC, except being a perfect killing machine? He is set up to be the Chosen One, like the evil guy was when he was alive.. The old jew guy living in his head that I mentioned? He allows him to see memories of the evil guy, and gives him astral vision. Also saves him from drowning early on by interacting with his gas canister..
All in all, I feel like I have read this novel before, which means it's just one of many trash novels out there. Thank you for reading my blogpost.
