    From first glance, I knew I was going to enjoy this novel. A litRPG set in a grimdark western world, sign me right up. The world is still being fleshed out at the time of my writing, but the bones are there, and they're meaty as hell. I can see the bigger picture the author is going for already and am excited to see where it goes.
    The characters are the best parts of the story. The dynamic between Dog and Jane is hilarious at times and somber at others. At first, I thought Profanity was just there to solely drop ”honestly inspired” curses, but her character development and depth is revealed quite quickly.
    The combat is gritty and fast paced. It's a shoot em up old-world style and a blast to read.
    Overall, this story is fantastic, and I'm excited to see where the story goes from here.

    As the title states, Hells Bells! This is a fun romp through the old west with a great balance of characters and story. Not weighed down by countless stats.
    All wrapped up in a demon riddled and profanity laden tale.  The future looks bleak, and I like the background on the Cull.
    Looking forward to seeing where this heads!

    edmcrae has gone and done it. A dystopian world govt. with population problems decides to pop all their extras into a VR game as a way to save on resources and get the best critical thinkers to evolve. It is a Wild Wild West ride from hell. The story is excellent and the characters are full of depth and funny quirks. 9 outta 10 for this here read.
