Books like Another Day, Another Dungeon

There are some books you read simply to give yourself a feeling of hope because, as an aspiring writer, you know you can do better. This little gem is one such book. Although it has NO ISBN number on it, it does have the imprint of TOR Fantasy. This means, to me, the author was paid - unlike the equally abysmal Dungeon Crawl by William F. Mason, ISBN 978-1442133785, which was published as a softcovr on Amazon's CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Truthfully, the story is not worth mentioning. The Cleric/Friar had a promissing start in the first chapter as a member of an order devoted to a Dionysian-like God who is cast out to the street for shameful if drunken conduct. But this is a couple of paragraphs of what was mercifully a 241 page novel. I have played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the early 80s and it is a certainty this work is a derivative of the author's game. But it does not make for interesting reading and the phrase "you had to have been there" repeated itself in my head. Not worth a greep except to gain confidence as an aspiring author.
