Celebrating a paradoxical 11/10 rating of my story The Last Philosopher by Spookyspackles on RoyalRoad 🥳
But who knows what could have been if I had only given 120% instead of the standard 110% 😂

Anyway, the story is free to read, links can be found on my profile, thanks and sorry 😁

Big D - 11/10 review by Spookyspackles on The Last Philosopher. The story has got some very strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes. If you don't know that series, but like some well written, cosmic ludicrousy, this book definitely has the potential to fit the bill. The MC's 'nickname' is definitely used for some subtle tongue-in-cheek humour, and there's some clever plays throughout the rest of the chapter that make it a treat to read. And while the narrator is weaving in the comedy, they are also weaving in a ton of worldbuilding. There are some tense shifts within the first chapter (potentially intentional), but otherwise, the flow, spelling, and grammar are peachy. Overall, the author humanizes the furthest from a human thing you can probably think of, and does it well. Excited to see Richard's quest come through!

    I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever worked in IT. Especially, executives and managers.
    Also, to anyone who has parents that are incompetent mosters (Incompemonsters TM) and need YOU to fix THEIR problems 😂

    Nice to see Ronald McGillvray's "Tales From The Parkland" hanging in there on Amazon's "Hot New Releases" chart a week after launch. I'd say that's a well-deserved success and would highly encourage any speculative-fiction fans out there to give it a read.
