Review Detail of Scrimivory in The Power of Ten: Sama Rantha

I have mix feelings about this novel. It can be a great fun to read certain parts, but incredibly boring in others. Anyways; The writing quality is excellent for the most part. Only when the author tries to put some dice DND nonsense that I admittedly ignore does it get in the way. You'd be in the middle of an action sequence when suddenly all this talk about dice and whatnot came up out of nowhere. It can be disrupting. Conversations can also occasionally be hard to follow at times due to some weird use of dialogue. This isn't really an issue though, it's very rare. There are numerous main characters in this story. Some may like it, others not. I'm part of the latter. I came here to read about the legend of Sama Rantha. I mean it's in the title. But having read 180 chapters so far, half of it isn't even about her or from her perspective. At the start it has alternating chapter between the dream sequence and the reality in the future (present?). Oh how I hate this part. But it's a good novel so I persevere and read through it. Until it finally reached a point in where I can just read it from the present. Then not too many chapters later another MC joined. I thought fine, I'm still getting my fix of Sama Rantha. Lo and behold, not too long after that it goes to another MC, this time 12 years in the past. Then another MC also 12 years in the past. Now the chapters are switching between 4 different storylines from different point of views. What about Sama Rantha? She's thrown in the background barely even there. Not sure if this style of story telling will be continued in the future, but at this point I feel like the author should just remove Sama Rantha from the title. Info dumps. This novel has a lot of it. There are chapters that basically consists of only info dumps. That in itself is not so bad, but I can't even make sense of these info dumps. It's all DND based that can get confusing. Not saying it's impossible to understand, but most readers will just skim through these chapters to get on with the story. So do I recommend reading this novel? Yes. I can understand why this novel has such a small following, the author goes in great depth about how his system works, and frankly it's a bore to read for a lot of readers. The multiple characters thing being a big part of this novel can also be a turn off. But despite all this I'm still reading it because it is still a decent novel. You'll just have to persevere through the parts that aren't to your liking, as the rest is brilliant.
