Title: Sting & Song
Author: Benjamin Medrano
Rating: 5/10

So. I've finished this sudden two-hour-long intrusion to my life called Sting & Song. I believe this is the most average fantasy book I've read in my life. Like, it hits the perfect 5/10 score in every regard. Characters are there, but they are tropey and undeveloped. The main character gets the most attention, but she's also tropey as hell, even if a highlight of the story. The plot is simple as hell, barely there. The writing is average, especially dialogues were kinda...unnatural? Each character spoke as if playing their part on a scene, more actors on a scene than book characters. Weird, but many amteur writers write like that. There are some emotional moments too, and...a twist(?), but all predictible and average.

Oh, and it's also a Litrpg, but perfectly average in this regard as well, a 1:1 game-to-real-life translation. Those basically never jump over 6/10.
There isn't much to say, this is a slightly fun, just the right kind of short adventure of a bubbly and guiless bee-girl in a fantasy world.

For some reason the book was listed on 'Lesbian Harem' recommendation page, yet despite all party characters being female and a few small innuendos there wasn't anything like that. Maybe in the later books, but unlikely. I think the book would be more popular as a Female Reverse Harem. But that's my inner coomer talking.

The author has many books under his name, all of cute adventurous young women, mostly in context of lesbian romances. The man knows what he wants to write, respect for that. He also wrote some explicit female harems, which I am likely to visit at a later date. After NNN, that is.
