How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps
How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps | Andrew Rowe
8 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.
And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.
She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.
She might not be a Hero—but if she can fake it long enough, she might still be able to save the world.

I don‘t play video games or Dungeons and Dragons. I do read fantasy. The audience for this is clearly people who do all of that. Despite that, I loved this story of Yui Shaw going on a quest to defeat a demon king and leveling up along the way. It was tons of fun. There were some things I wouldn‘t have understood, but my husband listened to this with me, and he does do video games and D & D. I still think it would have been fun without his input.

My walk was very short today, but it was hot out there and I was pushing my husband‘s wheelchair. It was good to get him outside like that. I have no idea why those watermelons are in the bay! I am not at all the audience for this book as I don‘t play role playing games or Dungeons & Dragons, but I‘m still finding it to be a lot of fun. #audiowalk

Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. If you like RPG then this is the book for you! It reads just like a play through for a video game. Complete with acquiring new associates, increasing skill levels and unraveling the story of the Hero and Demon King. Some parts were a bit predictable but the book was still cute.

So.. I would say its not my typical Genre because it is more like a Dungeons and Dragons type of quest. She and her friend go around looking to “level up“ so that she can be considered a Hero so she can slay the Demon King. Anyway, its not like I don't read fantasy -- maybe not a lot... but this was super role-player game like the it just wasn't a typical “me“ book. #TBRCrewBingo

Catherine_Willoughby I think I can do this 😁 4y
ElizaMarie @Catherine_Willoughby yes yes!!! Also, I didn't know if you wanted to be tagged or not.. I tagged the people that I normally tag for TBRCrew... No hard feelings if you want me to remove your tag for this bingo from now on. 4y
Catherine_Willoughby @ElizaMarie what do you put in free space box? I can combide this with #bookspinbingo this month . 4y
ElizaMarie @Catherine_Willoughby you don't have to put anything ... Its to help you get a BINGO like its already marked. Sometimes on these Bingos I put a book that doesn't fit any of the other prompts... but not all the time. 4y

So this is a book about a quest. Kinda like in a game you have to “level up“ and get new skills. She is trying to do all so that she can be a Hero to defeat the Demon King. Although I am not a fantasy type book/player type person I really thought it was super cute. Also they go on a journey to acquire the skills, weapons and find the Demon King. #WeeklyFantasy #SummerFun @4thHouseontheLeft , @StayCurious
