I probably should have posted this months ago, but I have a question, Memnoch. Was this entire novel simply focused on this (seemingly unkillable) character fighting demons? Or was there an actual story to it? If so, care to give a quick overview of the 'plot'? I'm sure that will also be very funny. I want to read this book, I love bad writing! Books focused mainly on fighting are interesting if the character is extremely low level, and he has to be careful. Where's the fun or the interest if there is no danger of losing or dying?
