I Parry Everything

It's an okay read. The crux of the comedy is that our MC is super dense (well beyond the point of incredulity, bordering on flat-out stupidity), and the novel is a stream of “he's so awesome and humble” -> “there's no way he can survive that” -> “wow he survived that, he's super awesome and humble and heroic.” If either of those bother you, you won't like it. The plot itself seems interesting enough-conspiracies, a Holy Empire that's probably exactly what you imagine-but the characters are pretty flat so far. It's sorta whatever, if you've got nothing better to read.
