"I would also put The King of Comedy. Certainly in my top three movies ever. I mean, it’s not underrated any more, because I think it’s certainly thought of as a classic movie, but at the time, it bombed like so many great movies did. I mean, it didn’t even get good reviews, which is insane. Like, I don’t know what its percentage it would have been on Rotten Tomatoes in 1983 when it came out. It’s such a great movie. And I think it’s sort of an endlessly fascinating subject, this sort of quest for celebrity, and the feeling that some have when they have it, which is just discontentment, and showing both sides of that fence really, really harshly. Jerry Lewis is just astounding in that movie."

Excellent, pacey LitRPG side-story
Eliza was introduced in the third full AO instalment, the water mage helping Jason and his crew in their quest to uncover the game's secret history. An unassuming young lady with unusual abilities but not particularly strong in battle, her introduction was not ground-breaking.
Here she is given a back-story, telling the reader about her private life, how and why she got into the game, and her rise to power.
A non-stop action and advancement story, she carries out a number of quests and explores her skills and new applications of them to make up for her less physical attributes.
Excellent character development and quite simply pure essence of LitRPG - there is no padding here, just pure story and action.
