D&D Optimizer
Everyone that has played Dungeons and Dragons has had that one guy. They optimize their character using every possible handbook available. Then they want to go into the details and tell you how and why they did what the did, breaking down the character build piece by piece. With great enthusiasm they drone on for hours.
That is this book. Kong drones on for hours about the numbers and world he has created. Then he literally will use his character as a mouth piece to say " Damn that's awesome" and pat himself on the back. Books 1-6 were entertaining, but book 7 practically did nothing but present stat sheets. The actual story presented is maybe 20% of the actual book. The remaining 80% is the author telling you how cool his world is and the stat sheets to support his claim.
The narrator for the audiobook is excellent.
