Great story

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021

Full disclosure, I read this when it was free on a writing website before it was published. But it is a great story. The writing can be unpolished, but the writing is as good as in the first 2 books. If you liked them, then you'll enjoy continuing to read about Jason's adventures!

Bewarned, Lacks the polish of the First Two

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021

While the first two were great, this has yet to be polished to the same standard. Just a few pages in and the amount of errors is...very off-putting. If you don't mind the repeated words, odd syntax and bad grammar go for it. I'm already regretting purchasing this on faith based off the other two books and not borrowing it with Kindle Unlimited. They really rushed this book through editing.

It was good but the ending is terrible, and I hate cliffhangers

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Gotta be honest I loved the first two books as adventure combined with slice of life with a touch of intrigue. This book takes that and elevates it to a new level one that spans realities. Personally, I could do without it. I also didn't enjoy that the last 10% of the book was a bunch of inter-dimensional politics. Having large forces as mystery would have been far better. The ending for me was a huge disappointment in direction.

20 pages in

I loved the first two books, but I can't go further than the first 20 pages due to the worst editing I've ever seen. I want these to be written quickly, but not at like this, it's unreadable.

Great story but needs someone to proofread

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love this series, but the author/publisher really needs to find someone to to proofread the books for verb tense, misspelled/wrong words, random grammar mistakes, and leftover notes (there were notes left in for the audible narrators in one spot) before publishing. Fortunately, these problems mostly showed up in clusters as is if someone added the content last minute and forgot to go back and check it. Therefore, they do not detract excessively from the overall book, and I am still giving it 5 stars. However, I implore the author to find a proofreader so that readers do not have to try to interpret what the author was trying to write versus what is written there!

Another phenomenal installment

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021

I have no clue how some people are calling it "unreadable". While there are grammatical errors, in no way does it significantly detract from the overall experience of the book.

Ability text can get a bit annoying, but it's a LITRPG. . .comes with the territory.

I would rate 9/10, and since I can't, 5/5. Extra point added for the same old Asano flair.

So many typos.

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

I don't know if they thought that they would publish this without an editor and have the Kindle readers edit it, but this is awful. There are SO MANY TYPOS. I am 10% in and have already reported at least 15. And these aren't like a missing comma, but words are in there wrong, there's extra words, and my daughter who is further along than me said there is one section that says, "delete for Kindle book" in the actual text. Also the point of view of this book is not consistent with the other two. Instead of being third person limited, it is third person omniscient and he drops almost all the LitRPG wording. The whole thing reads like a rough draft. I'm so disappointed. I was really looking forward to this book, but not this way. I think I will put it back on the shelf and hope it gets fixed at some point.

Still good

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story is still good, the earlier installments were better, the fight scenes were almost un readable, pages full of ability descriptions with a few lines mixed in describing the description of the abilities used, a paragraph describing a punch then a few lines saying this character used this ability to punch someone, then another ability description, then the same thing again, they were seriously bad to the point of almost just skipping the actual fight sequences to continue on with the story. Minus that it is still really good, and definitely leaves you wanting to read what will happen next. Good characters witty dialogue and an engaging storyline, looking forward to the next one.

Not bad but my least favorite so far.

I have the unfortunate tendency to rate a book based on how it ended and unfortunately I didn’t really like the ending of this book. I really find an author who likes to in the books with cliffhangers to be somewhat distasteful especially if you have to wait a year or more before the next book. Most of this book was very well written and I really enjoyed it but I’m beginning to suspect that the main characters becoming less important to the story. We will just have to see what direction this goes in but if the main character becomes more of a side character then I don’t think I’m going to continue to read this series.

Spoiler: ending the book with having the main character killed and then spending a dozen chapters explaining how the main character was going to come back in the next book is just distasteful. I normally would’ve just rated this book with one star because of this but most of the story leading up to this ending was excellent and well written.

Honestly should be 3.5 stars

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2021

So to start this series is still very good and if you are looking ahead to see if you want to start it definitely go ahead and read the others. Even wit a 3.5 star rating this is a fun read.

For the most part the writing is very good (if some editing errors here and there but not often) and I think world building wise as well as characters everything is very well done with one exception.

********Before we go further minor spoilers alert**********

Without going into too much details, I will explain some of my concerns with this book that brought the rating down. First off was the grammar issues. No book gets 5 stars without almost 0 typos. This had enough that I noticed.

Second, I think that one of the characters was pretty much left out from significant character development and was relegated to a second tier character in this that was pretty surprising, especially since everyone else on Jason's team got a lot of work. Felt a little bit of a let down.

Third, one of the great aspects of this series in my opinion is Jason interacting with lots of different people and allowing his personality to have a bunch of different people to bounce of off. A lot of this book ignored that for what essentially amounted to 30% of the book being training montage.

(dropping the counting thing) another issue was that because this was heavily a power up novel, there was SO MUCH text detailing abilities..... Over and over and over again. Powers got upgraded which is needed but the sheer amount if text wall that came out of that was very jarring. In some instances I read the same exact abilities multiple time. I think there were a lot of ways to handle this that would have improved the read a lot.

Last, 10% of the book is epilogue??? I've never seen something like this before and honestly I don't get it. It's like all of the plot advancement was stripped out of the book and thrown in at the end in a way that would only be acceptable to me if the next book wss literally already out. Huge cliffhangers and also some really poor plot points in my opinion.

So those are the bad points, which are easier to write about but if you've made it this far I still recommend the series knowing this book doesn't have quite the punch the other two had. This seemed like a power leveling and transition book into the next phase so it lagged a bit behind but Jason is still one of my favorite characters and the next book can definitely make or break the series

In the end I gave this four stars because the series is really good, but it probably deserved a 3 star as a standalone.
