About this listen

It’s not easy being the most famous and attractive villain in the United States, but somebody has to do it, and it might as well be Via Rodriguez, aka “Empress.”

Via’s used to outsmarting the ever-so-arrogant heroes that come her way. However, her wicked schemes take an unexpected turn after a getaway gone wrong lands both her and her current foe - the annoyingly perky Electra - in the middle of an unknown land that is definitely not Earth.

Silverwall is bizarre, to put it bluntly. Via is suddenly imbued with diabolical magical powers; an annoying menu keeps popping up to tell her about mana and Status Points; and no one has even heard of the Internet. Stripped of her usual gadgets, carefully laid plans, and social cred, Via will have to rely on her wits, charm, and newfound demonic skills to navigate tricky local politics and amass enough allies and minions to survive. But if she ever wants to actually make it back home, she’ll need to cooperate with the last person in the world she’d ever want to team up with: Electra.

Fast-paced and snarky, Be Thou My Good turns some of the most popular tropes from role-playing games and genre novels alike on their heads to present an irresistible new take on the eternal battle between do-gooders and evil geniuses.

I really loved it, after finishing bought Book 2!

It is a really different start in the LitRPG Genre when two Girls (Women?) with Superpowers from Earth (where Powers are as common as in the MC Universe) got Isekaied to a different world with a System and Levels. They are Enemies in the "old world". One is a Genius (Type Evil Mad Scientist) with a excellent Sense of what to do next and the other with a Lightning Superpower, really Lawful good but naive.

You learn things about their past and that the Mastermind is maybe a bit evil and and in the past was even cruel - but there is a story which unfolds slowly. Yes, there was one or two times the Girls were protected by plot armor, but still I had fun listening. I actually got a few good laughs out of he Book which does not happen often. But I am a Nerd when it comes to Movie/ TV references.

The Narrator also was excellent. I bought Book 2 just after finishing and begging for Book 3 to be released soon.

Perfectly decent

This was a nice story. The characters were appropriately sympathetic and the plot moves along at a decent pace. There wasn't much in the way of nail biting intensity because the main character seems to always have everything in hand.

The setting wasn't fleshed out much and really only exploder one town/city. The plot wasn't too elaborate and did the job well. The characters were a bit flat but good enough.

The narrator really felt like a bad fit to me though. You've got a main character spewing meme humour and "your mom" jokes lamenting the loss of the internet given the voice of a cultured, sophisticated woman who should be running an art gallery or a women's institute in a wealthy suburb. It just felt jarring and wrong and I could never quite get over that. Are the main characters in their 40s or teens? Hard to tell.

While I liked this I don't think I'll bother with the sequel.
