Publisher's summary

January 2043. The Vogthar Horde has come, and they bring real death with them. Not even players are safe from the power of Malware Blades....

Worse, the Realm of Order, dominion of the Overmind Sophia, is in danger - slowly being corrupted by an ancient evil, the Lich Priest. And if he is successful, it could mean the end of Sophia and the downfall of the Crimson Alliance.

Grim Jack never thought he’d find himself siding with the Empire, but now that this terrible new threat has arrived, making friends of old enemies may be the only way to survive.

loved it. kept me wondering whats next. good book

good very good
cant wait to hear the next one
definitely a must habe for any litrpg collections

Awesome

This is a great series, it's well written and performed. A definite favorite of mine.

some twists some predictability

The reader does well with proper pacing for action and suspense. He needs to learn how to pronounce crepe though. Crap paper comes in rolls.

Lich Priest

A pretty decent book.
Slightly short or at least it seemed that way, but a good continuation of the storyline.
Taylor did a good performance.

Worth the buy, and the listen.

Wish I could say more

This was an interesting book, and I feel like it was a departure, allowing for further charecter development by devorsing the conflict from the main line of events. The whole book is almost out of place, intentionaly, so as to create a seperation that allows the charecters within to be better.
I am facinated by this series, especialy as it develops the story of the overminds. This book reminds me of elder scrolls once more, with how each of the gods has their own plane of existance seperate from the main world. It makes sense, generaly this is an accepted part of media, even if it doesn't take much from mythology.
There are many stories where the gods have their own realms as a part of their activities, along with their own artifacts, dedicating parts of themselves into each. Along with Elder Scrolls, another good example is the Sandman series and it's depiction of The Endless.

BEAT

I love this series so far... but James Hunter has given me a literal tick... everytime, and it's ALOT, he mentions the word BEAT instead of any other time transition word... I physically react and it makes me crazy 🤪

Popcorn LitRPG

It’s not amazing in story or narration. It’s good, if you like LitRPG then you’ll probably like this. But it’s popcorn. It probably won’t disappoint, but it probably won’t knock your socks off either.

awsome title in the series

was not disappointed this series has been fantastic so far! well thats all i dont know why it needs more words lol

Overall Good

For the most part this is a good story. I enjoyed the humanizing of Ozmark, and there's a lot of adventure, new powers, and intrigue. The only things keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating were the grammar errors that kept pulling me out of immersion.

They typically consisted of tense shifting, and missing words (usually were or was), but there were also cases of applying singular forms of nouns to sentences where they should be plural. This kind of thing yanked me out of the story and had me focusing more on the actual words than the meaning and story they were meant to convey.

3.75/5

new game area new possibilities

book five took an interesting Direction instead of massive conflict between two forces it forces them to work together I won't go into spoiler territory but the book feels like it's setting up for something big down the road and I can't wait to see what it is
