A reader of LitRPG, progression fantasy, xianxia, wuxia and other modern pulp fantasy. Sometimes ventures out into “real” literature and reads things like “Seeing Like a State” by James C. Scott or “Dancing in the Glory of Monsters” by Jason Stearns. Mainly reads stuff on www.royalroad.com/ , but if authors “publish” their book outside, I will try to remember to update my list here.

After the first few chapters, it turns into a slog where the MC does not have any real goals and just reacts to what is happening around him with no consistency.

After reading this series non-stop for two weeks, I don't seem to enjoy it as much, as before. Maybe I will pick up it later when the eight book is released.

Things somewhat slowed down in this book. There is this cultivation/divinity friction that lefts the MCs and reader somewhat confused and fills like a mistake rather than the main thing that separates them from every other person in Multiverse Z. -1 star for getting rid of old skills, man you could just evolve and consolidate them. I am very salty about that. Numbers must go only up! (less)

Chunkier than the last books. Now the focus is beginning to shift towards gaining strength and defending the world from outside threads, rather than feeding it. Still, the MC can not use his full strength, so other characters have their place in the story.

I have two gripes with this book. My first one is that it feels like the author escalated the scale of conflict faster than, the main character grows in power and skill. This resulted in some weird tournament like solution to a world ending war, to make the main character relevant to the story. Which to me is astounding, as my second gripe with the story is that the main character grows in power way too quickly (we have characters that have grown their skill in martial arts and cultivation level for centuries, yet the main character caught up in like 3 years) but it is a common issue, or even a feature of power fantasy type stories. Just that, in combination with even faster escalating threat level, it does not make the main character feel powerful.
With the looming threat of death now hanging over his head, Roy makes the difficult decision to leave the Crater. …
