The New Dawn: A Humorous Isekai LitRPG

Terminate the Other World!, Book 5

De: Icalos

Narrado por: Savy Des-Etages

A one-woman war machine wreaks havoc while exploring her all-too-human heart in the final installment of this fight-filled LitRPG adventure series.

Accidentally banished to an alternate reality by her own hand, weapon-heavy cyborg NSLICE-00P has had to adapt to her new environment in order to survive. But she's also evolved to thrive as less of a "kill everything" high-tech nightmare and more of a "try to be nice before killing everything" young lady capable of actual emotion, becoming the magic-wielding force for good known as Her Majesty Seero, queen of the Dobhar and true friend of the Empire. And the Empire needs a friend like her more than ever . . .

Because every corner of the land is in chaos. The higher echelons of power have been corrupted, and the Eastern Court is under attack by the Empire of the Sun, aided by the twisted Heralds of the New Dawn cultists. Not to mention, they've just unleashed a host of nightmarish creatures using every dungeon not under Seero's control and protection. Civilization itself teeters on the edge of doom.

Now, along with her loyal cadre of friends and fighters, she'll have to wage a war unlike any ever imagined. The enemy threatens to overwhelm the Empire with raw, unrelenting darkness, but for the now-legendary Seero, darkness is just an opportunity to do what she does best: light 'em up.

The fifth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Ending was kinda missing Key Characters

First off. I love this series. I love most of the characters, and the Overpowered nonsense that occurred.

*Semi-Spoilers*
The only issue I have is the ending. After the big fight we get a wrap up of the "key" side characters. But not the main crew. We don't know what Zero or her monsters are doing after the big fight. We don't know what her 2 main friends are doing. Was slightly hoping those 2 were confirmed to end up together or something.
But the aftermath was mainly focusing on the side characters. So I'm curious on why the Author did that.

Fun story, with full closure!!

This series has been a bit tongue in cheek and humorous. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit, and I’m very happy that this series didn’t leave the audience hanging with an unfinished story!!

wonderful fantastical book series

this book the ending of this series. was fantastic in both quality and execution. character developments were amazing the world so vivid and fascinating. oh man the ending wonderful beautiful and most of all enjoyable. Zero development with the most interesting and impactful in my opinion. from logic driven emotionalist machine to emotional caring and tear jerking true cyborg. all while beating simultaneously a badass. the other characters character development were just as impactful. and enjoyable. to a good work and a good story. the ending well done if this ever get a sequel. considering the execution of this one I'll be confident it will be good. if not the ending is satisfying to where I'll just reread the series if I want to re-experience it all again. final conclusion this was a beautiful journey and the ending was sufficiently satisfied. go to work author I wish you good luck if you choose to write again.

what a great story

I loved the character development off nslice00p after the first book I was hooked so now that I have made it to the end I'm happy and fulfilled. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great story with the voice actors emotional impact. I almost cried with sadness and joy at some moments.

A great entree! A lot of the same great stuff with only one gripe I have…

More of the same great stuff filled with interesting characters, funny moments, action and more! One problem (possibly born from bias of the books I’ve been reading lately) is that the overwhelming constant victories because simply nothing short of the devil himself (if that) can stand against the heroes. It can get old sometimes if you value a character encountering strife, losing and making something out of it even if that something doesn’t necessarily feel like a win. I love the wins they did have but the shift in mentality from “can/will they overcome this” to “I just wonder how funny the win will be” is a large one!

loved it

the expressions zero used before her statements were fun. also the supposed villainess of the empire especially her last words words with the perfect villain laugh was great

An excellent wrap up to the story!

This was one of the few lit rpgs that wraps up the story in a way that doesn’t feel lacking.

A Satisfying Conclusion to a Very Fun Series

For starters, I marathoned this series in about a week. I bought the other volumes before I'd even finished the first, and I don't regret it.

If you've come this far, you probably already know some of what to expect: good narration, interesting worldbuilding, and frequent terminations. This last volume is a fair bit different from the earlier ones. It gives a lot more focus to supporting characters, and there are several times the protagonist doesn't show up for multiple chapters. It feels like a necessary change given the challenges they're facing, but it does change the feel of this book compared to the others.

While the book is generally a good time, full of interesting encounters and logical explanations, there was a twist near the end that felt lacking in execution. It raised a bunch of big questions, but only answered a third of them before moving on. That might seem like a nitpick, but it's a pretty key moment, and it stands out because those kinds of questions usually get explained in other parts of the book.

Also, we never find out anything about that one knife from the first book, so that's a little disappointing.

That said, those are basically the harshest criticisms I can offer for this book... and the series as a whole. One twist felt like it could have been supported better, and one weapon doesn't get a chance to shine. Considering the series is 60+ hours long, that's downright astonishing.

It's not perfect, but it's thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. And that's more than enough for me.

I'm Going to Miss This Series

This was a good ending to the series but I'm really going to miss it. Thanks again to the author for giving us a slice of fun and enjoyment, or should I say NSLICE.

for the love of God keep going

10/10 a good end but zero hasn't even left the empire keep going! cross the sea of unknown waters . explore the empire.of the sun
