Murder Medic 1

A Demonic Healer LitRPG

By: E.C. Krueger

Narrated by: Jess Young

Zoe died, got better, and woke up in a new world . . . with a stat system. That's neat, but where is her S-Tier cheat power?

As a newly minted healer, Zoe doesn't need a unique ability to take on murderous cultists, an equally murderous paladin, and the weather. She'd certainly like one, though. It's a fast-paced, violent world, filled with undead ghouls, sprawling dungeons, and far too many scheming nobles, all of whom want a piece of her. A healer is a valuable asset—and becoming a demon and blood magic user only ups the ante.

But when life doesn't give you a cheat power, you figure out how to take it. And Zoe's new demon side reveals the first step to do just that:

Level up. Violently.

If the goal was to make a MC downright stupid then it’s great writing….

It’s hard to say what precisely wrong with this book but it’s definitely wrong and I’ll try. This book proves that being educated is not the same as being smart. It’s not really a MC that you would hate exactly but more a character that has all the tools to win in life but still fail. Imagine giving your little brother a basketball, putting them right above the hoop and they still miss except here it’s like that with both her mentality and life. Honestly, if you pick up this book love the world and systems and try your absolute best to ignore the MCs stupidity.
Ngl I wrote this halfway into the book and it got worse. It went from ignoring stupidity to “nah…. this character is SPECIAL in some way”.

From Good to Craptastic

This started out very promising, then went downhill with the annoying voice in the MC's head, then really went downhill about halfway into the story when the author suddenly made the character excessively stupid and had her make the worst decisions possible, only saved from death or worse by plot armor. Complete crap.

Entertaining

It’s an interesting take on progression fantasy. The MC talks in third person but it helps because of the “body snatcher”. The MC isn’t the typical idiot in a new world, it seems like she is active learning from things and people around her. She is also not afraid to do what she needs to do.

The comments from system notifications and witty banter break up the gore with welcomed humor. I recommend it and I am looking forward to the next installment, I just hope I don’t have to wait too long

story

interesting world and characters, plots within plots. good character growth. interesting skill and level mechanics

Superb story

I remember reading the earlier former version. It gained my sentimental attachment, then I read this version and I decided all along that the rewrite was indeed much better. The story is pleasant, fits some relatable tropes, and feels truly original. If I compare many other books and their methods of writing, I suspect there will be a distinct difference that contributed to this book being so well written. Despite a single narrator taking all the rolls (good writing kind of deserves a full cast), they did very well. I anxiously await more books from this series.
