How to Become the Dark Lord (and Die Trying)
How to Become the Dark Lord (and Die Trying) | Django Wexler
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
A hilarious fantasy adventure in which a young woman stuck in a time loop tires of trying to defend the kingdom from the Dark Lord and instead decides to become the Dark Lord herself. Davi isn't your average zoomer. For starters, she's somehow become trapped in a fantasy world - and not one full of rainbows and unicorns, but one packed with all manner of terrifying monsters and deadly magic. Proper Lord of the Rings stuff. And, for reasons unknown, the humans of the Kingdom look to her for protection against the Dark Lord. To make matters worse, Davi's stuck in a time loop. So every time she fails to defeat the Dark Lord (which is every time) she has to start over. But Davi has a plan. What if instead of trying to defeat the Dark Lord . . . she becomes the Dark Lord instead?

How to write a fantasy-ish computer game recap with lots of gore, sexual content/violence, self-harm/suicide from a female POV and fail at it.

Davi is the centre of her universe. Whenever she dies she respawns at the beginning of her adventure and has been doing so for over a thousand years. Yes, that would blunt the edges of any of us, but she was too blunt to be likeable.

DNF @ 22% - there was nothing that enticed me to read on.

3.5/5

After 200+ lives, Davi is tired of failing to defeat the Dark Lord on behalf of the Kingdom. She decides it's time for a new strategy. In this life, she's going to become the Dark Lord, since she'll just reset at the beginning again when she dies.

I thought this was a very fun read with a strong narrative voice, but it still created a interesting world that left me full of questions and anxiously anticipating the next book in the series.

Soubhiville Sounds like a fun premise. 🙂 1mo
