Unexpected Healer (Earthen Contenders #1) By Jonathan Brooks
Unexpected healerite crystal
This was a really good readAmazing start to a series First I have to admit that I m not a fan of RPGames I ve tried playing two different games but I found them boring probably because it was too hard to understand what to do and I still get lost in some technical stuff BUT since the first book I read that was about people living in a world with a game like system I absolutely fell in love Though I still don t like playing the games I love books that have elements of them And my favorites are the ones that have dungeonsNow this book s poor MC had an extremely rough start everything that could go wrong did go wrong Luckily he at least had one break that honestly was the only reason he survived But most importantly I enjoyed seeing how he pulled himself together and started solving problems one at a time of course sometimes he didn t have enough time to actually think and just reacted but I really found myself respecting the MCThe plot is really interesting and I can t wait to see what else the MC uncovers in his journey now that cliffhanger was amazing I m not one to like cliffhangers that much though I don t hate them either but this was incredibly done By that time enough questions have been answered that I felt the plot moving of course it also presented a lot of new questions and when the end came about I was left speechless the MC was in trouble again I can t wait to read the next book. PDF Unexpected healer's Spice none there s no romantic interest CW violence gore blood decomposing corpses death mentions of depression secondary characters Jonathan Brooks An okay one time KU read The title of this story describes the setup perfectly If you like quick and easy Litrpg reads heavy on the rpg and game mechanics then this might be your cup of tea It is YA appropriate with some foul language and of course violent action I started and erased several reveiw attempts as they were on the negative side and from a writers perspective Target audience is key and when an author finds their niche style it will be desired by some while putting off others This story does have the quickly published feel it uses the familiar set up as described in its title and a very specific limitation to the main protagonist that even after the authors explanation at the end of the book annoys me haha That is I have never played a rpg of any kind were the healer support class has zero offensive abilities or even use of a weapon of any kind. Surprised by the healer Between worldbuilding character and plot the world building was the strongest portion of the story It was a decent set up that did build some interest in me The characters were hindered by the rpg element taking priority over depth motivation and even logic The plot had the feel of what should have been the beginning lasting for over half the story before what should have been the meaty interesting part being glossed over and then the story just ends It gets a three instead of the two because it has an interest concept with a rough draft of a story with no ridiouslous random element meant to shock the reader Jonathan Brooks At it cores it is a fairly standard litRPG isekai with death game elements Young man together with a sizable group of people from Earth is summoned into a new world with game elements Something goes wrong for him and he ends up in the world without getting the tutorial He ends up with a healer class not exactly the best when solo gaming but a bug does give him a bit of an edge The world comes with its mystery though if only because the official story does not seem to match the MC s experience raising the question on what is going on The story itself is not bad but two things keep me from fully enjoying it For one thing the MC is a lone wolf even if not by choice and I prefer social interaction in my story and it seems to go towards PvP a game element I am not that much of a fan off Secondly there is a bit too much game stats a large part of which is rather meaningless and confusing and that is coming from an actual gamer The fact that the MC seems to be inconsistent in what he remembers from the few games he played does not help All in all a decent read just not for me Jonathan Brooks I m really liking these non dungeon books from Jonathan Really enjoying the Fusion series but I like this one a lot too. Book Unexpected healer tier Interesting premise well developed mechanics and looking forward to where the story goes there s a lot of potential especially for an author that finishes stories Jonathan Brooks This is another book in this sub genre where I am really frustrated to have to give it such a low score because I really like the premise However as is always the case with these books that I have to rate lower than I d like it makes the following mistakes 1 Messes up the balance between Game and LiteratureThere is a massive difference between using gaming elements to enrich a story and writing what feels like a journal of someone s experience playing a game Gamelit novels rely on a delicate balance and if you re struggling to make the balance work then you have to lean on the literature side of the equation because at the end of the day this is a book and it is important that it works as a story than it does as a game 2 Keeping the protagonist isolatedIt is easily the most common flaw with novels in this sub genre but the authors feel the need to isolate the protagonist at the start of every book and it s always to the detriment of these stories Unless you are a master storyteller specialising in character studies the chances are you are not going to create a protagonist compelling enough to carry a story on their own I think the authors get too excited in their world building and trying to set up the gamer mechanics but as with the first point writing a good story is much important Multiple characters relationships and all the other good stuff that comes from people interacting with one another are vital to telling a great story and I genuinely can t think of a single GameLit novel that got interesting until the character leaves isolation and starts interacting with people 3 Info dumping Telling rather than showingIt s another side effect of not spending enough time on putting the story first but this book is full of info dumps that tell us information rather than show us The best example of this is the overuse of stats and gamer info in this book It is common with all of these books that I simply will not remember a single word of description told to us through a system message It is simply not interesting It only becomes interesting when that information is put to use in the form of action that is meaningful to moving the story forward that s the only time that it matters 4 Overly detailed in system informationWe do not need to see every system message every option for every character build decision every single time a stat is levelled up and so on Like with the last point it just bogs down the story and doesn t meaningfully move the plot forward When every chapter is half full of system messages then I no longer feel like I am reading a story and instead feel like I am reading a transcript from someone s game Final VerdictThis is a book with a fascinating enough premise that I kept reading to the end I hoped that this might be like Defiance of the Fall or The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound where if you can just push past the isolation period then the story will eventually get awesome However while there is a glimmer of light here when the other human characters finally show up the story seems to lean towards taking the path of the lone wolf and at that point I was done I ll keep an eye on the reviews for the next book to see if things do change for the better because I am really hoping that the author could rescue this premise He just needs to focus on telling a good story and not writing his ideal gaming experience Jonathan Brooks Librarian Note There is than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Something went wrong Something went very wrong Against his will Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world Unfortunately for him something occurred during his transference into the Training program and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events Thaden managed to survive only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes no weapons and no way to defend himself Worst of all the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge which ended up sticking him with a Support based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities As an Assistant Healer none of his spells did any damage and he couldn t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to But all hope isn t lost as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon Sure all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection but what does it mean when he seemingly won t ever run out of Mana This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non combat Class LitRPG progression mechanics and stats and isekai portal fantasy elements Contains no sexual content or harems Unexpected Healer Earthen Contenders 1 I m used to skipping the meaningless descriptions of skills and spells the MC will never use so the book was much shorter than I expected The problem is we are getting set up for some super loner who saves the world BS He builds no relationships with the towns folk He quickly bails on the only people worth being friends Now the other issue that is going to be a deal breaker is if the author doesn t figure out how to add suspense or risk Right now he is an unkillable bumbling fool Jonathan Brooks Antisocial Coward gets super cheat mode and does everything he can NOT to save peopleSeriously this is the kind of person who gets purged out of every organization that finds him in their ranks Chooses over and over to be disassociated from whatever group he finds himself Ends up being 3 times everyone else s level and rabbits Jonathan Brooks Book oneThis was a really good read. Book Unexpected healer's kit 9 10 Jonathan Brooks This 500 page book contains less than 200 pages of actual story The rest is stats upgrade options reward descriptions and rumination on how each upgrade option or new skill would impact the protagonist s path And those 200 pages of story are not tight prose Wordy verbose rambling digressions are not often fun I feel like I spent time skipping filler than actually reading. Unexpected Healer booklet So why three stars The well concealed short story shyly peeking out from behind these pages is good I wish the author had realized that his research notes stat tracking and perk dictionary didn t need to be published as part of his story Jonathan Brooks MC is not so brightThe MC is like in his late 20 s or 30 s not the teen shown on the book cover He also seems weirdly unknowledgeable for a guy who has played games At about 75% thru the book the MC has been on a game like world for 3 solid months He never once tried inventory or loot MC is in a town where the townies barely tolerate him He gets a cloak that has some powers but is 15 on charm charisma I would lable that a cursed item So of course he decides to wear it all the time when in town versus putting it on right before entering the dungeon MC talks about how he likes to travel yet continues to hang around the town where everyone dislikes him Jonathan Brooks
