Publisher's summary

Jynn knows how to bring down the monsters that threaten humanity—and save the world while she's at it—but who will believe Earth's weakest Hunter?

Jynn Devhro was the world's lowest-ranked Hunter. But since getting her System, she's been secretly leveling up. Now, with her razor-sharp kindjal at her side, she's ready to defend humanity from its enemies. And none too soon . . . because an interdimensional parasitic planet hangs above the Earth, releasing poison into the atmosphere and creating new monsters with its trailing toxins.

As she prepares for battle, Jynn is given an obscure assignment by the System, sending her deep into the heart of the Josu Rainforest. Soon she finds herself stalked by hit men unafraid of pursuing their mark on either side of the Gate. She believes these men are somehow related to Kesstel, a handsome and powerful Hunter who seems to know more than he's letting on. But every time Jynn gets close to him, the assassins become even more aggressive.

Meanwhile, she hears rumors of a mysterious cult that's supposedly searching for the same thing she is: a world on the other side of the Gate. Before she can determine the credibility of these reports, she receives a surprising invitation to one of the group's secret meetings. But are they friend or foe?

The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

The bridge but beware of the Whiny

This is a good bridge but beware it can get a bit on the whiny side And has a good set up for the next book in the series and we get still more with character development and the inner dependency and codependency problems of people around her as well as the parallels that we face in the real world when dealing with petroleum products and the parallel

Loved it!!

I honestly can’t wait for the next installment! Kept my attention the whole book, the world is more fleshed out and the MC grows emotionally, physically and socially. There are some gaps with follow ups to side characters but I’m hoping these will be addressed in the next book. In particular Bethany has a lot of holes with her interactions with Jynn. Looking forward to where this series goes.

My only gripe

I’ll be brief. Premise is pretty good. Basically solo level but waaay slower. My only gripe is that she is stubbornly naive, she tries to tell people that crystals are bad and people are monsters with no proof and get mad when no one believes her.

It’s really cringe and could have been written better. (Like solo level). That’s it. Everything else is pretty cool. It’s not a deal breaker, so just skip those parts and you’ll be fine.

great progression

Great story, I like the fact that their is steady progress throughout this series. my only problem is her lack of direct attack solution to any of her opponents.

40 hours in i started skipping ahead

When you are 40 hours right in the middle of the ending and you start using the skip button you know something went wrong. I would say the books are around a 3.5 star rating, it's alright in general, things that pull it down are a shallow system, occasional poor understanding of biology, monster functionality and movement, and so on with minor flaws. But in the end i would never recommend a book series with an ending that mad me skip ahead.
