《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Oxymorons' by TheEnigmaticPhoenix
Advertisement
I should tell you that I was really confused about the word 'Oxymoron'. English isn't my first language, I thought it meant 'Moron who wastes oxygen'. But it didn't fit the context.
Then I tried to find a definition that sounded correct to me for ten minutes. Not finding anything that fit. Just started reading.
FOUND DEFINITION OF OXYMORON ON THE FIRST PAGE.
Ahem. Anyways.
By the way, I lied to you. The book is a collab between @TheEnigmaticPhoenix and @alicejpctter
About the book: apparently, an oxymoron is two contradicting words (ex. Genius Moron). Juniper Holmes is an oxymoron. Noah Lee, CEO of Ubisoft, is not. Or is he?
The characters and plot are... oxymorons. They're original clichés. You get me?
What I mean is, the heartless CEO kind of stuff has been used many times, but I hadn't read one like this before. Even when it contains clichés, the book is still fun to read.
GPS, perfectly fine. Don't change anything, friends.
One little thing: the characters regularly have discussions with their brains. I know it's done for the lolz, but it kinda makes the characters look like they all have multiple personality disorder (you know what the Dutch word for that is? 'Meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis'. Can you pronounce that?)
On the other hand, we have the same shitty sense of humour, and I can appreciate that. Kudos for that!
Rating: 7!

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
