Roll Over and Die: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword! · review
I love how dark this series is! Initially wanted to read it for the GL (it’s definitely more of a slow burn but it’s pretty well done) but stayed for the gory and action packed fights. The world and characters are really nicely fleshed out. I also really enjoyed the way the author manages to describe extremely gruesome scenes in a way that paints a perfectly disgusting picture. In terms of the story itself, so far it’s a little tropey (getting kicked out of the hero’s party, with most of the characters in said party just being assholes and the main character having a uniquegimmick/power) but later on the story focuses more on the main character, her relationships and her development. As for the Girls Love aspect, it’s cute, very cliché, but develops at a realistic rate so it’s a little bonus.
Overall I’m really enjoying this series for its violent action. An interesting spin on fantasy tropes, nothing too special for the GL and a tad cliché. 7/10
