The ending was so dumb it makes me question the other reviews... this was one of the best series and I used to look forward to their adventures but this time just seemed like a cash grab. The "interdiction" was like a reverse superman ending, and from a "secretive group" unheard of until now ... I mean ... okay.

I really hope it gets back on track.

wow what a breath of fresh air! The TL:DR is a simple buy it, like right now - what are you waiting for?

The narrator was amazing and brought the unique character's eccentricities to life which was make or break for the Crazy the the MC.

The story and various premises were very unique and totally engrossing. There is a very good balance between the familiar and the new and it's blended perfectly with humor and action.

Overall, this is definitely worth a credit or a buy and I don't say that often. I just feel that this title should be in any litrpg library. Great job to all involved and I can't wait for the next one!

It's worth the credit, but the cringe is real. Looking forward to the next.

Took a bit to get moving but it's well set up for a promising book 2. The performance was great. Overall, it's worth the credit.

Story was good but not as good as the others in this series and the ending felt rushed ... the narrations was top notch!

This one was incredibly brutal to get through, with out Jeff Hays I wouldn't have finished.

The hardest part of this book was that the author dumps a truck load of new characters both bad guys and good guys into the story. This normally isn't bad but it was so rushed that all the backstory is given during the main battle and I was constantly like was that the cow lady or the crocodile lady or girl who set herself on fire or maybe that's the wavy sword lady only to come to the realization that it was the pink haired one ... and those are just the bad guys don't even get me started on the good guys.

Second thing I'd mention was, yes there is a new Trans character and she seems cool but when you have to have an hour or more of lecture on why it's OK to have one and how life in this new world is going to suck for her it takes away from her value as a character. The more I was lectured the more I felt she was only put there to push an idea or as a virtue signal making it harder to bond with her as a character. I mean she should be a great memorable character first and then she can be the beacon of transgenderism that was ment for her. I feel that this could have been developed over a longer period or as a "side quest" book as some other authors use to truly flesh out a good character.

The final straw for me was the incredibly overt superman ending, or in this case super high priestess ending.

I am probably done with this series even though it's hard to turn away from the dulcet tones of Jeff Hays(this dude is seriously the goat!) but I think it has to happen. On a side note I think I'm done with all of ludus, literally get so irritated with the whole thing from multiple different books and there is not nearly enough humor or fun to get me through, they are all a slog.
