Steven Allen is starting In Fury Born (1) (Fury Series)
Alright enough of the amateur hour Space Opera, time to read from one of the masters.

Steven Allen is 71% done with Dead Man's Debt (Poor Man's Fight, #3)
This is a significantly thicker book than the first book. Since I have purchased the later edition with the name change, it took me a moment to realize it was the same character just with a different first name. For a minute I thought it might have been a sister or something. Great action with not too much romance, although all good Space Opera has some romance in it.

Steven Allen is 31% done with Rich Man's War (Poor Man's Fight, #2)
This has been a surprisingly good series of books with an unusual, likeable MC who did everything correctly and still ended up getting hosed. Decent Space Opera with a decent back story and interesting cast of characters. MC is not too good at everything and screws up like everyone else.

I know this is mindless, ridiculous escapist harem Space Opera featuring Tony the Weretiger and his harem (as of where I am at now) of eight wives. Still fun, ridiculous reading with some humor - just check your brain at the door and make sure to tape down the "I Believe" button.

OK, so Adam looks like a buff Tony the Tiger; don't let the cover dissuade you from reading this series. Check your brain at the door, and just enjoy the ride. Pure escapist literature for fun, not life-changing. high-minded or socially-conscious reading material.

Oh thank God for some complicated, political, and violent Space Opera. I am about romanced-out. I love this series of books and this will be the second time through for me.

Dauntless (The Lost Fleet, #1)

Steven Allen
Steven Allen is 80% done with Bryce (The Player, #1)
Ok so a tennis-themed romance. I appear to have gone from one romance subgenre to another - sports. This one is not so bad, at least the woman is near on par with the man on the tennis court. No damsel in distress. His family is a bunch of dicks, treating her as is she is a gold-digging ho.

This romance I got for free for a review is not too bad. Some good humor at the beginning and avoids a lot of the tropes these books usually follow.

Steven Allen is 78% done with Poor Man's Fight (Poor Man's Fight, #1)
This book started very slow - almost to the point that I was sure I was not buying the sequel. Now that we are into the action, and out of the world building, politics and other dressing it's getting interesting.

Surprised this is a halfway decent fiction story ruined by too much romance for my tastes.

Steven Allen is 32% done with The Hyperspace Trap
Had enough of Romance and other trash, time to return to my true love - Space Opera. This author writes some very good SciFi, but sometime his political views can get a little preachy.

Steven Allen is 34% done with Planet Kill (Planet Kill #1)
So this was a surprise impulse purchase. Not as much LitRPG as I expected. Starts a little slow, but gets better after the first 30 or so pages. Nice change from the ridiculous romances I keep getting for free for reviews.

I am so burnt out on romances that some ridiculous harem Space Opera with a weretiger that looks like a buff Tony the Tiger is just what I need.

This is a good partial rewrite and clean up of the previous posted book. Dialogue is better and less stilted and some glaring plot holes filled. I am still I am romanced out so time for some silly, harem Space Opera.
