Very different tone then the books I normally read. The werewolf fight was very brutal, and frankly the injuries the MC takes and keeps fighting are brutal enough to be a little silly. On the other hand that means that the author did an excellent job choreographing and describing the fight making it easy to follow and understand.

The MC does seem a little OP with a ridiculous amount of skills and training for an "Accountant" but it feels like that's mostly so the monsters can ramp aggressively in terms of threat. Oh well this is a fun action romp, it's not really that important, and it serves the plot to have a hyper competent MC, as it's easy to power creep monsters to keep the stakes up.

In stark contrast to Heinlein, the characters here are wacky and ooze personality. No forgetting who's who here.

A lot of this is due to the lighter nature and tone of the book. In any case it got me invested, and I was a little annoyed waiting for this discussion topic to be posted as I am eager to read more. This one might not have as much to say as my usual fare, but it certainly accomplished its goal of setting up the world, the protagonist, the antagonist, and hooking me into reading more.
