another great one!

really enjoyed the pacing and the way this book brought the cast together in a new way. excited for the next one already!

Wow… that was a lot

Honestly one of my favorite books in this series. I found the slice of life and leveling balance to be very enjoyable. But now… I just honestly cannot wait to read the next one. Great job!

Loved it

This has always been one of my favorite series but the massive twist at the end has me frothing to see where this new direction leads.

Too short!

Nooooooooooo! It’s over way too soon and just when everything is so exciting. Great story and such an awesome new twist. Can’t wait for more. Thank you

Amazing performance carrying a confusing story

I've really enjoyed the series, but don't really recognize it anymore. Most of the story's origins feels abandoned and unfinished. I get that the author is taking us into a new arc, but it feels premature and forced. Exploring the new universe is appealing but I wish things in the existing universe were wrapped up before diving into another journey. It would also be amazing if the MC wasn't constantly hobbled every time he gains new powers. His progress is starting to feel pointless, because it's assumed his new powers will either be nullified by the environment or someone will injure his new ability and take it off the table. Why bother giving him new powers just to take it away a moment later ?

Hopefully the next book brings things to a conclusion. I've enjoyed the journey but it feels played out
