Calruz's death (like a lot of adventurers there) was not explicitly shown.
I forget how long until it happens, but Ryoka runs away and doesn't come back for like an entire book. While she becomes less of a cunt after a while, she still has a lot of issues.
The story gets crazy.
There are *Space Marines* in it, eventually.

There is a benevolent Lich-King that shows up later. He's pretty cool and becomes a friend to one of the (sort of) main characters.Calruz's death (like a lot of adventurers there) was not explicitly shown.

There's a scene where 'monstrous leaders' are aware they are being scryed and troll the observers with comments about how they have weapons of mass destruction and are quickly making more. It's totally ridiculous, as the 'monsters' are terrible at lying.

Okay this is good shit. Re: Apocalypse or Reborn: Apocalypse by LM Kerr is also great if you avoided that one.

I have issues with M. Kerr re-releasing his third book in that series due to massive editing problems. Even if he promised a free copy for anyone who had previously purchased it, that's the kind of move that makes me drop an entire author, no matter how good his series are.
Rohan Vider almost got me when he re-released his Crota series in a non-litrpg classic fantasy version.

I noticed that. I thought I read volume 3 but when I didn't find it again on the kindle store I instead thought I was just crazy.
I kind of burn through these books so any editing issues I probably just ignored. By the end of book 3 he was going to the floating island level or something? And some conspiracy in the fantasy warring states land?

I sincerely hope all this cool stuff starts soon. I just got to read half a chapter where the two main Earth characters discussed how evil Trump is and how flabbergasted they are that he won the election.
I get that two real 20'ish females from Earth that just discovered each other in a fantasy world might have a very similar talk, but as an author you get to choose what you put down on the page. She chose for one of them to be obsessed with chess and a little air-headed, and she chose for the other to be a barefoot runner and a massive cunt. She could have just as easily chose that neither of them cared or knew much about the election, and thus never brought it up. Or at least didn't discuss it in detail like she had them do.
I picture this author as blue-haired and "healthy at any size".

Those things I mentioned do not happen for quite some time, but the scope of things widens quite a bit. Very little Earth politics is in this story, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Really there’s very little political shit after that. There’s a character that is some sort of weird trans thing but it’s not until much later and so far it hasn’t had many pages. It just sucks because the character is never introduced to the reader that way until long after the reader already likes the character, kind of a bait and switch. And of course there’s the obligatory gay characters, but honestly the story has inter species relationships thought of as completely normal, if you can accept that then a couple of dudes banging really isn’t much. There’s also the slyphids which I guess technically have a gender but they are essentially parasites that take over bodies.

The story is huge. These things are very minor compared to the scope of everything going on.

Oh yeah he drops it fast enough. Geniuses of combat is some weird Wuxia bullshit they keep using.
Fehotep is great, and Khelt is obviously the place you want to live ;p
Ironic given that Khelt is the most totalitarian dictatorship that could conceivably exist, given that Fehotep is not only in charge of everything, he's literally both the military AND the industry of the entire country.

This is good stuff. Obvious Re:Zero inspiration, but that is kind of a given from the name I guess.
finished book 1 of knight and smith.
17 thousand word last chapter. book 2 starts next monday. he is starting a patreon.
excellent first book. not that many spelling errors, interesting characters, good dialogue, good premise, very good initial world building.
nice twist at the very end of book 1.

Heirs are "pure souls" they take/adapt to the SMITH's elements...also Tessa is a Smith... and Heirs can have more than one smith..... author says not going harem route with the story.
