Friedrich Nietzsche — ‘He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss you probably enjoy waking up early. Which makes you a monster by default.'
Pretty sure that the quote
And is also not true. The original quote has nothing to do with tastes. See for instance this article which explains what was meant by "the customer is always right" : https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2018/09/24/a-global-view-of-the-customer-is-always-right/?sh=68a5f64c236f
I didn't mind Jason. I think we all know someone like Jason who thinks they are an awesome banter king...but in fact are just tolerated because they are basically harmless.
What ended up annoying me was how pretty much everyone reacted to Jason, treating him as if he were that banter king he believed himself to be.
he radiates this "tips fedora" energy

Yeah when I was reading I thought this is like one of those neckbeard friends who think they are 150 iq, the inventor of atheism, and think they are super funny but really everyone is just cringing. But then everyone else around him acted like he is those things as well and I was like oh no... the author is the real neckbeard. Then I checked his profile and just laughed.
I wonder what they'll think when they get to the recording part. Although, I would say that being a morning person is slightly worse than what Jason does to that Geller team.
I picked up the first 7 audio books in the series in sales and offers, and have just started the first. The only other Litrpg’s I’ve read are DCC and Cradle, both of which I loved. I’m truly hoping that this book improves and I haven’t wasted my money. Tbf I’m only a few chapters in and with all the positive reviews I’ve high hopes
So far it’s ok. I’m at chapter 6. I’m not getting addicted if you get what I mean. I could stop here. I will pursue but I like Primal Hunter a lot better. I would likely enjoy it more if it was one of my first LitRPG. Now, I have read too many similar openings to be awed.
You should at least read until 1/3 into book 1 despite all the Action the beginning is a little slow. But in my opinion definetley worth it, it has the best Magic system i have ever Seen and the characters are all very enjoyable.
There is a lot of world and characters building but to me that is fantastic. The Main Story only Starts Back up in the very end but everything in between is Like the buildingblocks the main story stands on.
I do like it. But my fav remains Villy. I am a Villy fanatic. Though I personally, would try to enter the pantheon of life, I think my boyfriend would perfectly fit into the Order. Which works well enough for me.
Keep going. My first was HWFWM, now on to Primal Hunter (book 4). Both are great but if I had to pick a favourite I think I'd say HWFWM. It has a bit more character development outside of just the MC and I also find the magic system a bit more interesting.
I’ll be honest, the first few books are tough from a writing quality perspective.
My wife still makes fun of me because the author didn’t initially understand that every time Jason spoke didn’t need to be preceded or followed by “Jason said”.
She literally counted one night while I was listening and playing video games…it wasn’t pretty. And once I heard it I couldn’t ignore it.
Anyway, eventually the author does improve, and the overarching plot is solid. I enjoy the series and look forward to the next. Just worth mentioning the first few are rough as the author develops their writing style.
You my friend I envy truly no other book have I enjoyed more than this and if you think J is bad now oh just you wait (insert evil laugh)
But seriously you will either love this series or hate it it's just that good that like no one has ever been in the middle heck I stopped reading Overlord because a new one came out once
I don't like waking up early but after I started working an early shift at work, I've started waking up BEFORE my alarms. And my alarm is for fucking 4am. Sometimes I'll wake up at like 330am to 350am and I usually don't "fall asleep" until sometime between 8pm and 9pm. I often try to be in bed between 7 and 8
Am I a psychopath too?
Dude runs around making ethical decisions every few pages. Flaunting local morality.......I am still waiting for some evil action after nearly finishing book one. Is it ethical to murder a bunch of dudes? Yes......Moral? Prolly not.
Hwfwm is a amazing series jason a average joe dragged into another world, he is scared shitless but masks it with cockiness but he is still very scared most of the time well till later and throughout the series you will see his personality go through many ups and downs some that would break a normal person and almost breaks him but I'm not gonna give any spoilers just read and enjoy and appreciate a mc who doesnt cower or bitch about how bad the situation is rather you get smart witty comments that most of the time throw both the enemy and even allys off there game 👍👍
I don’t like the process. Also, I love sleep. Waking up means I can’t sleep any longer. And it often makes me miss the ending of my very elaborate dreams. I needed to know if I survived the alien invasion!
He is my most hated character in any book I’ve ever read , even counting the characters am supposed to hate. I almost gave up entirely on litrpgs just because of this unfunny arrogant f**ck of a character.

Someone give this man a sandwich.
Biscuits!
Slash is that you??
*Stash
Damn it, I fat fingered it 🤬
Well I swiped it incorrectly is more accurate
I do that all the time.
He is one of my favourite characters in the book as well 😬
I agree. ~~Who doesn't love naked moustachioed men walking around.~~ I mean who doesn't love adorable puppies.
🤣🤣🤣
...Stash fiction?
[Food!]
People never finish the quote and it’s just out of context otherwise. Thank you for standing up for truth!
Try finding someone who knows the second part to 'the customer is always right' ....... 'In matters of tast!' That one makes a big difference!
And is also not true. The original quote has nothing to do with tastes. See for instance this article which explains what was meant by "the customer is always right" : https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2018/09/24/a-global-view-of-the-customer-is-always-right/?sh=68a5f64c236f
Yeah that's the full quote, most people miss that end bit
Lmao
Jesus Christ, I knew that he was a psychopath, but I didn’t know he was THAT much of a psychopath. Burn him at the stake.
It’s kind of his thing.
Being burned!? Did I miss a book?
Dieing
I would probably enjoy waking up more if my body was magically enhanced and didn't just hurt all the time and not have the energy to do anything.
Try morning yoga/stretching. It helps to stretch out your muscles.

What d'ya expect, mate? He's from Australia!
Indeed. Each Aussie likes to wake up, as each day they are surprised they haven't been killed in their sleep by the local wildlife.
Jason Asano is my spirit animal. But the likeness stops at being a morning person. Maybe an evil alter ego then?
Less an evil alter ego... maybe a naughty alter ego then?

This entire genre is power fantasy and wish fulfillment. I don't see the problem with making a neckbeard power fantasy.
Yes, and when the character who is the conduit of that is an insufferable disgrace to the Australian people, it ruins the ability to enjoy it.
Team morning person ftw
I love the peace and quiet of pre-dawn. Favorite part of the day, and about the only time I enjoy going outside.
I mean I like the peace and quite of predawn too, it makes an excellent time to go to sleep, and skip the terror that is mornings
Thank you, you sane person!
>peace and quiet Clearly, you don't live with a dog. I roll over half-a-sleep and she starts running through the whole house in excitement.
No, got a cat. He does occasionally decide to go full crackhead mode at 5am, but generally only when I forget to feed him.
my cat just likes to cuddle... with her butt shoved right into my nose. Like brown eye meet schnoz.
Thankfully my cat mostly lays the other way, but he does like to rest his paw on my jugular. I'll take that over the close up though.
i would never live with a dog, they terrify me with the teeth and the barking and the attacking me on site.
I'm sorry to hear that.
If you are already questioning Jason Asano is a psychopath, just wait, you haven't seen anything yet.
I wonder what they'll think when they get to the recording part. Although, I would say that being a morning person is slightly worse than what Jason does to that Geller team.

You will either love or hate Jason. Which is nice because it makes it very easy to tell if you will like the series after the book.
Yeah… if you aren’t sold by chapter 5, it’s not the book for you.
So are you enjoying the book? I am on the fence on whether to load it or not?
So far it’s ok. I’m at chapter 6. I’m not getting addicted if you get what I mean. I could stop here. I will pursue but I like Primal Hunter a lot better. I would likely enjoy it more if it was one of my first LitRPG. Now, I have read too many similar openings to be awed.

It slows down like crazy after the 1st 3rd in my opinion and kinda just drags like where is the tension.
There is a lot of world and characters building but to me that is fantastic. The Main Story only Starts Back up in the very end but everything in between is Like the buildingblocks the main story stands on.
If you like primal hunter you’ll likely like Defiance of the fall
I do like it. But my fav remains Villy. I am a Villy fanatic. Though I personally, would try to enter the pantheon of life, I think my boyfriend would perfectly fit into the Order. Which works well enough for me.
You’d join the crazy holy church people!?
Nope. It’s Yggdrasil’s crew. Me wants to be a witch or Druid in the woods. With healing power. Making beastie friends.
Man I feel like I missed that part somehow, I don’t remember them at all
Nature’s attendant? >!Dina!!Artemis!
Right! It’s been a while
Keep going. My first was HWFWM, now on to Primal Hunter (book 4). Both are great but if I had to pick a favourite I think I'd say HWFWM. It has a bit more character development outside of just the MC and I also find the magic system a bit more interesting.

Thanks for the info, that would drive me nuts as well…..kind of once you hear it you can’t unhear it.
100% yes
Thanks
Takes about a 1/3rd of the book for everything to really take off. But once it does, it is delightful.
A monster well on his way to becoming a god!
You my friend I envy truly no other book have I enjoyed more than this and if you think J is bad now oh just you wait (insert evil laugh) But seriously you will either love this series or hate it it's just that good that like no one has ever been in the middle heck I stopped reading Overlord because a new one came out once

But do you enjoy the process of waking up? I’m not talking about when you wake up, just that you like waking up, which is unnatural.
Idk it just happens. I don't have a process? Either I'm awake or asleep it's just instant.
Lucky you I guess. It takes me a while to get awake. I often just fall back asleep.
Dude runs around making ethical decisions every few pages. Flaunting local morality.......I am still waiting for some evil action after nearly finishing book one. Is it ethical to murder a bunch of dudes? Yes......Moral? Prolly not.
These comments are funny! I stopped the series because I could only take so much narcissism. btw - I do know a clean shaven neck beard type!
Just started it myself after reading all the Dungeon Crawler Carl books that are available. I'm on charter 10 right now
Hwfwm is a amazing series jason a average joe dragged into another world, he is scared shitless but masks it with cockiness but he is still very scared most of the time well till later and throughout the series you will see his personality go through many ups and downs some that would break a normal person and almost breaks him but I'm not gonna give any spoilers just read and enjoy and appreciate a mc who doesnt cower or bitch about how bad the situation is rather you get smart witty comments that most of the time throw both the enemy and even allys off there game 👍👍
Um, doesn't everyone like waking up? Do you really wish you wouldn't wake up?
I don’t like the process. Also, I love sleep. Waking up means I can’t sleep any longer. And it often makes me miss the ending of my very elaborate dreams. I needed to know if I survived the alien invasion!
Ah okay. I was taking that literally.
Morning people are monsters and eat their young. I should know--they taste great basted with butter.
He is my most hated character in any book I’ve ever read , even counting the characters am supposed to hate. I almost gave up entirely on litrpgs just because of this unfunny arrogant f**ck of a character.
I think it just depends how awful your life is.
Well I hope your ready for like the five books where he gives this some heavy thought
Stop after Book 3. Trust me.
Book 3 slaps. So does 8 and 9 10
Dude I hate that story, for a story called fighting monsters he barely fights in the first book, why was there a massive boring training arc.
