Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Emrys Ambrosius has been a fan of reading since he was five. Escaping to fantasy worlds with dragons, like in Eragon or the works of Tolkien, that passion for reading only grew to encompass all things “nerd.” His passions include D&D and video games like Oblivion, Skyrim, and The Witcher, especially The Witcher 3.

He began writing when he was thirteen years old…and never finished anything he started. A peek at his Google Docs would find dozens and dozens of half-finished projects. It wasn’t until he was 29, married, and with two kids that he was finally driven enough to finish a book. By this time, he had discovered a way to turn his love of D&D and video games into stories on the page.

When reading his books, you can expect well-written action and, hopefully, a few solid punches to the feels.

    Lots of good setup and start. The main character is badass from before the system so it was very fast-paced and had a unique feel to it versus typical litrpgs. Could have used another editing pass, saw some minor errors. It was a solid revenge story with some extra plot built in that I'm interested in seeing play out.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Rise of the infernal paladin: A Fast Track to power, A slow death to storytelling
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Rise of the Infernal Paladin is, quite frankly, a borrowed plot that leans on the quirks of your typical LitRPG system-integration story—another entry in the well-worn “the system came and changed the world” genre.

    The so-called paladin is basically a killer—not the master assassin he imagines himself to be. In reality, a lot of what he describes from his past sounds more like generic thug NPC work—loan sharking, intimidation, that sort of thing. It’s a little like John Wick in that neither protagonist has the military or espionage background to justify their near-superhuman skill. And, of course, there’s the classic “trained by a father figure” trope—except in this case, it’s his actual father. I don’t know. I really wanted to root for the MC the way we do for John, but he never truly comes across as a changed man—which, ironically, is exactly what gets his wife killed.

    When confronted by his old boss, he shouldn’t have gone out of his way to antagonize the man. Unlike John Wick—where the antagonist makes a move on John—here, it’s the MC’s own recklessness that gets his wife murdered. Now, to be clear, John Wick isn’t the story this book is borrowing from, in case you were wondering. There are just some thematic similarities.

    It’s decently written, but most of the characters are one- or two-dimensional. Few feel like fully fleshed-out people capable of change, thought, or surprising the reader. The one exception is the protagonist, Ambrose.

    Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. The guy’s name is Ambrose—and the author’s last name is something like Ambrosius. I’m not a rocket scientist, but when the book’s intro dedicates it to the author’s loving wife and then we’re introduced to one of the most unsettling cases of self-insertion I’ve ever seen, it’s hard to ignore. The lovey-dovey quips, the Dungeons & Dragons references—they read well because they feel real. But instead of adding grit or authenticity, it breaks immersion. And when you glance at the author’s bio and see, “loves playing D&D with the wife,” well… you get the idea.

    So, once Ambrose—or should I say the author’s self-insert—loses his beloved, he meets a devil (not the Devil, oddly enough) and sets a deal in motion. From there, he’s fast-tracked to power at blistering speed, barely encountering obstacles that last more than a few pages. His enemies are either woefully ignorant or hopelessly unprepared for the devastation he brings. Conflict should create tension, but here, it’s just a formality.

    I didn’t get the Arthurian vibes some reviewers mentioned. In fact, I’m not even sure where I saw those comments—so if I’m mistaken, feel free to ignore that point. What I do know is that this book was a slog to finish. I wish I could critique world logic or political soapboxing, but honestly, the author doesn’t commit either of those sins. And technically, it’s written competently.

    No, this one fails because the story itself just isn’t good. The author mentions having tons of unfinished projects—maybe this one should have stayed on the shelf while he developed something stronger. It’s too much wish fulfillment with plot beat after plot beat that never organically leads into the next.

    Writing a book is hard. I respect the effort. But if I had to choose between broken world logic and self-insertion that borders on fanfiction, I’d take the former any day.

    Final Verdict: 2/5. The effort is there, but the train stops here for me.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025
    I bailed on the story after ten chapters. The MC had already leveled too far. The old man didn’t get any XP/levels. And, it was just less.

    The bottom line is that this needed a development edit to work out some of these details.

    2.0 out of 5 stars There's a John Wick in King Arthur's Court! (Because why not?)
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024

    I find myself having a really hard time reviewing this book as I must clearly not be the target audience here. I came for lit RPG and an interesting concept and left with a bizarre fanfic and a bad aftertaste.

    I was initially very interested in the prospect of an infernal paladin, but the narrative quickly shifted into a strange retelling of a certain film franchise in a system apocalypse/Arthurian lit-rpg setting. The power creep is off the charts, and it feels like the lit-RPG was merely a vehicle to facilitate a bunch of over the top super Saiyan moves into what is essentially a tale of an emotionally unstable assassin thug wishing revenge against a comic book villain. Almost all of the relationships were two-dimensional, and the only one who experienced any character development was the main character, but only in the weirdest and most abrupt of ways.

    I am a huge fan of slow-burn weak to strong protagonists and the lit RPG genre, but that is not what this comes across as to me. I whole-heartedly applaud the author's efforts, as writing a book is certainly no easy task, but I simply cannot recommend this book as it is.

    This story kicks off better than any I've read. It then follows up with some of the best action and story I've ever read.
    This is a story of revenge, of destroying enemies, of facing evil with your chest forward. It's got great dialogue, dialed in action scenes, solid magic, and pulls you forward every step of the way.
    Yeah, this is great, and you should read it if you like action, litrpg, and anything fun.
