I also couldnt finish the book cause the 30% I read was 100% misogyny.
Carls exgirlfriend is everything icels see in confident gurls (ok she cheated thats not so nice ). We met the woman who lives next to carl for like a page and she is a portrait of the old mean woman. The next woman is dead and naked, a goblin woman has like 4 lines and one is she wants to fuck carl. The first boss fight is between a overweight latina woman who is a hoarder and Carl. The way the author describes her is just horrible and i dont understand how so many people get past that chapter.
Each of these characters could appear in a dungeon scenario, and there are also women who want to have sex directly and are looted until they’re naked, which makes sense in the book. There are women who cheat on their partners and nagging neighbors, as well as overweight women. But I find it disturbingly obvious that all the women who appear so far are dead and naked, disgusting, and unbearable. The way Carl views the boss fight, without any critical thinking or empathy, is also terrible. The book’s concept is good, but unfortunately, it’s full of misogyny. Good idea, poorly executed, and the writing style is anything but good.
