  Gods of hell is a fast-paced, fun-filled ride and I'm here for it.
  So far, I'm enjoying the 'evil-government/overload' thing going on. That can be hard to implement well while making it seem authentic, however ORAR has started on a good note that'll hopefully last.
  The quirky humor layered into the dialogue has been so well done, that I found myself chuckling as I read. It also fits into the narrative, character's persona, and story so well it feels natural.
  It's only been 5 chapters, yet I can't wait to continue down this story.

  Gods of Hell is an interesting and fast paced work that will keep you hooked on the edge of your seat
  Story: 5/5
  The story here is definitely a highlight and strength here.The pacing is well written, the opening is masterfully executed, and it constantly hooks the reader as the elements of the death game unfold. Very quickly we're introduced to our characters, the stakes, the rules, and the author does a great job of balancing each of these and giving exposition where neccessary without affecting the pacing.
  Style: 5/5
  This brings my to my next point, style. The author has a funny, crass and blunt style of writing that really does fit the narrative and I really did see myself laughing out loud at points. The style fits the theme, and it's handled very well.
  Grammar: 5/5
  Another strong point here. The Author has a strong command of English and Grammar and at no point did I notice any flaws in the way it was written, or how sentences were constructed.
  Characters 4/5
  The Characters are diverse, quirky, and interesting. Each one has their unique traits, and no two characters feel too similar which is definitely a huge plus in my eyes. Good job at making each of them unique and identifiable.
  My only criticism here is that while they are interesting, there is very little to make me care about them or what they are going through. Though the novel is certainly in the early stages, so there is definitely room for character development still.
  Giving us as the audience more reasons to care about these characters, and how being in this death game is affecting and changing them, is important. The protagonist is smart, and she's physically weak. Great!
  What is the significance of that? I am not yet sure.
  Overall 5/5
  Despite my criticism, if you are looking for something entertaining, with diverse characters, crass humour, and a death game setting like BLAME or Terror Infinity, I really do recommend this novel as I think the author has done an excellent job with it.

  What to say about Gods of Hell by Of Rantings and Ramblings? It’s a fun ride, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the story as it all unfolds! The main thing that impressed me was the quirky humor which is layered into dialogue and happenings. There’s something so light about the way that it’s written into the story (it never appears overbearing or overtakes the story but is VERY present at the same time). I found myself chuckling at several points, and it definitely made it that much more enjoyable to read.
  Not that there’s any reason for it not to be enjoyable. We have an action premise, a band of characters who we start to get to know as the story builds up and an intriguing world. The action is really well paced, and I enjoyed the ebb and flow as the characters make choices and nearly show us their personality as they do. Well done!
  There were no grammatical errors or issues that stood out to me or stopped my enjoyment of the work in any way. The writing flows well and kept me reading along. This one is really fun! I’d recommend—especially for the really interesting humor. Great job, author!

  The Gods of Hell follows the story of Ade, along with various other people, who all die and are cast into what seems like Hell, but seems to be controlled and governed by some sinister power.
  Story [5/5]
  I found the premise and general story very interesting. It starts off with tense action and mystery which is built upon by the strange landscape, unfamiliar faces, and an even more unfamiliar system. There are many unanswered questions that our characters have to figure out the answers to, while trying survive this Hell.
  Character [5/5]
  The characters, especially the main character, were very sensible, realistic, believable, and built very well. I personally really loved the MC's sarcastic figure of speech, outdone only by her smart, quick and critical thinking. All characters seem to have their own strengths and weaknesses and are well balanced overall.
  Grammar [4.5/5]
  There are some occasional mistakes here and there, but nothing that will significantly affect your reading experience, so don't let this stop you!
  Style [4/5]
  Personally not a fan of excessive descriptions of the same thing, using a lot of metaphors and personification, and what not. I find description beyond a certain point unnecessary and makes the readers want to skim read or skip past those sections. Especially so when used in the middle of a fight scene/action, it can unnecessarily slow down the pace, and distract the reader from visualising and following the main action, by making them over-visualise something trivial. This was the only issue that I had with the story, but it doesn't happen all that often, and it's still worth checking out regardless.
  Overall [4.5/5]
  Definitely a book worth checking out. It has a lot of things going for it, with its general story, premise, world and character building, and more!
