Three Episodes In- The Warlock Ruthless

Disclaimer: The Warlock Ruthless by Megajoule is published on the same site as some of my own work.

Quirky is the first word that comes to mind after reading this. Leslie is a loser who just can’t get his life together. Then he encounters a demon offering him that informs him he has made one more mistake, signing up to be his servant when he signed the lease on his new home. Instead of freaking out and looking for some loophole to escape, Leslie jumps into the role of demon herald head first.

The story so far does a good job of balancing the line between humorous and dark. Leslie has pledged himself to the dark demon of gore. The author does not hold his punches here and, without getting into spoilers, Leslie does some dark stuff pretty quickly.

But…but…it’s still quite humorous. Gore comes off as appropriately over the top. He’s almost cartoon evil. But in a good way. This serves to keep the story engaging rather than a drag. Darkness for the sake of darkness gets depressing. This keeps you chuckling.
