This was a waist of a book….

This series started out so good. It had interesting characters and story elements. The level ups were interesting and made sense. I’m not sure when but at some point in the last 3-4 books the MC just stopped leveling really. The story arc flatlined and due to way the class and levels are structured the fighting is just redundant. It’s like when some one talked way to long on the first 4 slides of a presentation and has to just push through the rest. It’s really just boring.

The system quest started out okay but it really is boring. Also the mc is just whining and complaining all the time. I mean the dude is over leveled and has all these cheats to grow stronger but the last 3 books have just been repeated fights with the same 3 over powered finishing moves. Now if he can’t over power them he just uses his coding abilities and changes it. I mean it doesn’t really make for a good fight. Also I get that they need to some how finish the fight and the series but there are better ways. He has drug out this system quest story way to long. This should have been finished 2 books ago at least. The last book was a complete waist of time. He could cut out sooo much of the endless explanations of the same thing over and over. Yea we know he likes chocolates yea we know he has anger issues yea we know he’s a idiot and makes bad decisions. Every book spends soo much time over the same thing. Also even though they had new characters it just feels forced. I really wish there was a better ending but I wouldn’t have bought another book in this series regardless.

11 great books not so good ending

man this book end the same way game of throne TV show did 😑 very rush and predictable. one of the best litrpg sires I ever read but this book leaves me disappointed.

Hate to say predictable

The fights were good, but damn I just wish it had ended a little better. I just didn’t get the same energy and feelings like I did with the previous books.

It is what it is.

So if you are here you are 11 books in and will finish regardless. For better and worse it is more of the same. Less litRPG more rollercoaster ride. I had really hoped the author would find a satisfying end, but fates are predictable. I don’t want to go into spoilers, but I can say I’m left less than satisfied and a little emptier for the experience.

Sad to see it end!

I hate to have a book series end . I can honestly say I enjoyed this book! I have listened to this series so many times waiting for the end, and now I'm just realing and angry at the system. Wishing that John blew up all those planets, Wishing he could have saved earth. Hopeing for a better future for them all. But what is, is !

I wish there was more

I absolutely loved this book, I hope this author keeps up the great work 👍

Such an incredible series, sorry to see it end!

I really enjoyed the rich characters and raw, unmitigated not give a shit attitude to the MC who is bound and determined to make it to the end of the story, even if the price for doing so is the ultimate one. Well done, sad to see it end.

Meh…

Was hoping for a heck of a lot more than that! Meh.. is actually better than it deserves.

Felt like the author got bored.

This felt like fluff with very little actual story. The fights were too long and too frequent. I felt that they ran out of stuff to write and ended it too late.

Loved the series, glad for a good finale

One of the few LitRPG series that is finished and that I’ve been able to read through to the finish.

Engaging and thought provoking

Humurous and disturbing in different turns it does make you wonder what humanity would be like if there was an apocalypse and we all got skills... The daydream of many a nerd! Easy to relate to the characters and a good storyline. Very enjoyable from start to finish for the whole series.

Mediocre combat padded filler

Overall plot is fine, but there's so much tedious combat padding it gets to the point of skipping to the next plot point.

The End... or is it?

The hardest part of writing a book I imagine is the end which I'm sure also is true for a series. The best part of this series was the beginning for me. The first few books were good and I enjoyed all the books but it is often the case that stories find it hard to stary as engaging all the way through.
This last book is a conclusion which was a bit like the conclusion of Game of Thrones, although not quite as poor as that it sort of peters out slightly. But I did give it 5 stars in tribute to the fact I stuck with it and it manged to keep me engaged enough to carry on following it. I think it has left room if the author wanted to, to do more but I personally don't think they should.

Amazing

Cool ending to a long series. A chapter closed. A must “read” for litrpg system fans.
