The Builder's Sword by J.A. Cipriano
3.0
This review is for the audiobook version of The Builder's Sword read by Gary Furlong.
This was my second foray into LitRPG and I was more entertained this time around. The storyline flows pretty well and used the mechanics and tropes of the Fantasy RPG PC-Game effectively. I thought the story was decent enough.
What stopped me from rating this higher was its portrayal of women (even demonic women). They are little more than objects (literally) to be acted upon and directed for (the protagonist) Arthur's pleasure and convenience. There was some unnecessarily sophomoric humor that I could have done without as well.
Gary Furlong does an adequate job with the narration. He seemed like he could be Arthur Curry (the titular Builder, not Aquaman).
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

(phallic donuts, really?)Gary Furlong does an adequate job with the narration. He seemed like he could be Arthur Curry (the titular Builder, not Aquaman).
