He Who Fights with Monsters 9 by Shirtaloon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The flavor of these books continues to be quite a bit different from normal LitRPGs in that it's not primarily focused on progression for progression's sake but in how to remain a good person when everyone around you and your power itself wants to turn you into a monster.

This particular book isn't unique in this observation, of course, but the healing aspects to it are really quite beautiful. Go out with an assumed identity, search for trouble, find it, and then land yourself into a big pile of steaming shit-smeared bird wings. Messengers.

Yes, well, this kind of thing needs to happen. A bigger, badder foe. But now the baby monarch is in town.

The quality of mercy is quite strained. ;)
