Too often in other stories the main characters rely on their magic powers for unexplained reasons when they would be better off using a gun

Sure some monsters are resistant or immune to lead bullets but there are usually plenty that arent as well although you might need big guns for big monsters or special materials for others

I think larry correia is a decent human being i believe he has been slandered by the writing industry and authors at large for his views on 2a politics and religion

I do have some criticisms of his writing style but i figured id better make it clear where i stand before you read any further

There are multiple firefights that take place and its obvious correia is drawing from his experience as a firearms instructor

Not being very familiar with firearms myself i did at times find my eyes glazing over at a few lengthy explanations of how certain guns work

There were also a couple of fight sequences that seemed to drag at points as well however this had more to do with the conflicts being too serious in my opinion
