Shtulls' Curse Part 1

By: John Domus Cruo

Narrated by: Christy Lynn

A new dark comedy series by the creator of DeathCreator!

Shtulls had fought a bloody war for the human kingdom despite not being one himself. He watched his men die and struggled on until he beat the demonic emperor and returned home a hero.

But on the eve of his medal ceremony, he encountered a being that changed his life for better or worse.

Now he is cursed, poor, homeless, and without mana.

His curse forces him to say or do whatever he thinks is the worst thing possible and has robbed him of his honor and dignity.

But, in this standard videogame like world there must still be hope for the fallen hero.

Warning: This audiobook contains extreme violence, graphic and frequent sexual content, and a main character that is literally forced to do things that will make you cringe.

This audiobook has elements of LitRPG, Isekai, harem, fantasy tropes, and horror.

it was very good

it made me laugh so hard I cried it is a dark harem comedy it can be very lovey-dovey at times I would highly suggest giving the first one to try

Interesting

very fun when the curse happens to main character. the story is werid and wish it had a set the stage part. the ending is just wrong and shouldn't end that way. need have more spicy parts. make more hard-core sexual.

Hilarious Story!

I enjoyed this book so much! The only real downfall was that the voice acting wasn't on par in my opinion, specifically the female parts. other than that though, A+++.

Entertaining

A pleasing mix of drama, comedy and erotica to while away time in a day.

super funny

as I said it's funny really had me busting a gut but like many books like this it has a lot of sentences just repeat and repeat if you can get over that it's a five-star book

Great until it wasn't

Sooooo.....everything was great. At least up until around chapter 18. At that point everything became a confusing mess where I lost track of time, place, and actions.
I guess that's where the main plot was suppose to pick up, but all the scenes were so disjointed, I became completely lost. From there to chapter 20 everything made little to no sense.

Chapters 1-17 were all hilarious. I literally laughed out loud and had to stop the things I was doing to recollect myself. It was mostly bottem shelf humor and over the top gags, but I liked it.

Chapters 21+ were mostly slightly confusing and alittle funny.

My real problem with this novel, is that everything was transitioning really well from event to event. Scenes made sense, and story progression was steady. Then I was bricked over the head with "plot" and ultimately jarred from the listening trance I was in. It was un-organic and seemed forced, not really matching the pacing from before.

It felt like the first half of the book was written in a single inspired sitting while the second half of it was the author coming in a week later after having lost his train of thought and grudgingly trying to finish what he started. It picks back up similar to how someone limps away from a car wreck and can't strut the way they did before.

At this point I'm rambling, so I gunna briefly run through the rest of my review.

-Voice acting was good enough, if not alittle over dramatic.
-Overall the editing was ok, with some minor moments where lines were delivered twice. (most likely someone forgot to cut one of the two different takes)
-Will I recommend this? yes. It was funny enough in the beginning that I felt I got my moneys worth
-Will I pick up the sequal? Probably not. I'll edit this review if I do.

Final score 2.5/5
It could probably be a solid 4.5 if there was some major rewrites and editing, but I don't see that happening.

Edit:
Soooo after finishing the story, I emded up liking it. Though Nothing really compares to the first half of this novel, it pulled itself back together and was enjoyable, if not still kinda humorous.

New final score 4/5

Worth it

it is gold but skip ch 18 The writer wasn't skilled enough to pull off what they were attempting so it can be a bit confusing to some but it really isn't needed for the story but I still really love the book and part two

Enjoyable

This was well written and narrated. The curse is darkly hilarious. The story has increasing depth as it progresses. I look forward to additional works.

a fun listen and great performances

A very fun listen. the voice actors were very good. The story is hilarious and might warrant another listen. some parts were confusing, but it was not hard to follow most times.

love story. hilarious. sexy.

I know why you're reading the reviews yes there is sex but OMG the comedy is so good! I laughed so hard I woke my wife up 5 times it kept me up all night long i couldn't put it down. the comedy is definitely dirty but humor if you're a dude you'll love it. if you are a girl 50/50 and the love story is really good. it is definitely a dirty book lol.
