Unbound Deathlord: Corruption (Unbound Deathlord Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Edward Castle (Author), Nicolas Lagrand (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 263 ratings
With great corruption comes great power.

Jack is pretty sure that's the way the saying goes. That's a good thing too, for the war in Ter’nodril which he’d hoped would spell the beginning of the end for the DIR, instead left him corrupted, body and soul.

The good news is that the Fallen had used the Blight that now fills his veins as a weapon in their war against the gods themselves. So he’s sure that he can find a way to use it to destroy Valia Online, once and for all.

He even knows exactly who he'll test its power against first: Manhart.

As he must answer a question he’s wanted to ask since they first met: what sound will the lich make when he’s dying?

I always loved games, but as time went on, I started to feel that gaming lacked something. There was too much grinding, weak stories, repetitive mechanics and other annoyances, like the dreaded microtransactions.

I had always loved reading, but eventually the novels I found began to feel stale, they were too cliche to keep me excited to turn the pages.

Then the stars aligned and I found GameLit; it was the perfect blend of my interests, it recaptured the way I had felt when gaming and the fantasy genre. I could follow the story of a character in a world that ran on game rules, whether it be in a parallel universe or full-immersion VR. I could vicariously enjoy all the parts of a game I’d loved, without being subjected to the interminable grind. I was drawn in by the notion of hyperrealistic worlds and NPCs controlled by advanced AIs, where magic required actual understanding to cast and actions had tangible consequences. The genre ticked all the right boxes for me, I’d found a new love.

Yet, the stories were so few, I’d read everything available and still, I wanted to read something nobody had written. So, I started writing myself.

Today, I write full time and am best known as the author of the Unbound Deathlord series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Long story, good twists
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020

    It's been over 2.5 years since book 2 came out and honestly, I'd forgotten most of the story. Thankfully, the author has a nice recap section at the start to get you up to speed. It's good enough that you could jump into book 3 and not feel like you missed much.

    The story is still very slice of life but well written with all the crunchy LitRPG details I like. The main character (MC) continues to plot his revenge, this time using the blight he was infected with and any resource he can get his hands on, including other players. He might only have months before he loses his character but he plans to go out with a bang. That is, if he can survive the NPC armies looking to bind him, the vampires looking for revenge, and the player clans looking to cash in on the bounty on his head.

    The game mechanics shift a little bit. Not the fundamental MMO style, but the patch made the notifications, ability, and item descriptions easier to understand. Otherwise, the MC is still trying to build the most badass character he can, exploiting every mechanic possible to get his revenge. There is an expansion in the mechanics as the MC eventually creates a clan and learns about those aspects and clan battles.

    Overall, the story continues its action focused slice of life storytelling. Despite its massive page count the story flies by as the MC gets into sticky situations and has to think, plot, and fight his way out.

    While the first two books were good, the intrigue was sometimes two dimensional, depending on a string of betrayals with little to no foreshadowing. In this one the author has mastered the art of misleading foreshadowing, where you are constantly intrigued by and attempting to decipher hints, only to have the twist hit you are the end.

    Some serious head bending things await readers. After finishing reading this I need to go back and reread parts to understand the ending. I enjoyed the read but now I've got an Inception/Slaughter House 5 feeling and wonder what just happened.

    So we continue to learn more about the MC personality, life, past and the consequences of his actions from previews books, there is still a lot of action and the relationship with Sam keeps growing as well and I would have given the series another 5 stars but the ending was conflicting to me, is unexpected for sure, but I was kind of expecting something else, give it a try though, this series is still a solid addition to the LitRPG genre

    Unfortunately, this book did not perform on the same level as the previous two. It wasn't a bad read, and it hasn't thrown me from the series, but in my opinion it just doesn't measure up. It felt like the story was actively fighting the reader and trying to keep anyone from understanding what was actually happening. The perspective changes and progression often felt forced and were occasionally jarring. All that being said, I believe a lot of information was provided and while this book doesn't stand as strongly independently it sets up significant potential for a swing in momentum in the next installment. Ultimately I look forward to the next book and can't wait to see what our daring heroes face next!

    An entertaining addition to the series, albeit one that only slightly advances the core plotline.
    The ending was surprisingly nuanced, with a lot of small details throughout the book leading to the big reveal. Although I do wish this was explored a little further to give the story a more grounded, complete feeling as there are, (and I cannot stress this enough) a plethora of loose threads.
    Looking forward to the next book.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Surprise twist ending kills off the series over the course of a few pages.

    I had forgotten most of what happened in the previous two books when I started reading this. It seemed like the plot was going somewhere... and then it just ended.

    As far as I can sell, this is the end of the whole series and it ends with a sudden twist ending that seemingly removes any chance of the expected resolution happening. I didn't necessarily hate that this happened but the book basically gets suddenly aborted over the course of a few pages.

    I kind of feel like I shouldn't have bothered with the series as a whole now.
