I did not enjoy this book at all, it filled with so much unnecessary garbage like the writer needed to fill the book up with nonsense just to get it up to the same volume as the previous books. The first books start out great but as you progress further in the series, it becomes a real slog to get through the next book.

very wordy

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Until this book. The author is explaining and re explaining concepts and thoughts that happened just within this book. I feel the book could have been 100-200 pages shorter and have progressed the story without any loss. Still enjoyed the characters, but it could do with a lot less fluff.

This is my favorite LitRPG series, in spite of whatever faults it may have. Jason's journey from waking up naked and hairless in a new world to being a super confident annoying yet hilarious silver-rank adventurer has been engaging and fun. Mostly. This particular installment is more technical and explanatory than I was hoping for, yet chock-full of information. I think it is setting us up for the remaining arc of the series, but the actual charm of the story suffered a little bit. Also, there was MUCH repetition. I hope that isn't a new bad habit because one of my pet peeves is reading a story, then having to endure an entire chapter that is just a summary of everything I just read. To a degree, I understand summarizing what has happened in a different character's point of view - in maybe one or two sentences - especially if I didn't completely understand the overall concept. But an entire chapter that re-explains the explaining book is tedious. This has a few of those. Still, this book still has the banter I love between the adventure party (Belinda really stood out to me in this one) and Jason is very Jason and I love that. I do nerd out on the stats sometimes, so liked that too. If I think about it as its own book, I didn't love it. If I think about it as a book in the series, it helped and I am looking forward to the next one. I just hope that the repetition issue goes away, there is less explaining a technical thing by a long boring conversation, and there are more colorful fun adventures with great dynamics between the characters that we know and love. Still giving it four stars because thank you for not making me wait a year for each book.
