Another Cultivation Adventure

Although the quality of the writing jumps a little as some of the stories set the scene in a lot of detail ,and so the action is missed ,the overall story works well ,and the world building is integral to the story. This does leave you wanting more all the time but then again this might not suit a lot of people.
The overall qualith of narration never changes once you make it past book 1 however and Pavi always does a audio well so no complaints there.
My biggest complaint is also the same complement as the series is getting quite large now and the timing between releases always feels too short.

Zach is getting harder to empathise with

Sure, I get it. The multiverse isn't the same place as Earth. It's a dog-eat-dog (or barghest eat barghest) world out there and the strong survive. However, there is a tipping point in this book where Zach goes full fascist dictator and just starts killing humans that don't agree with his take-over of the whole planet. He is a guy who was absent for decades and just ignores anyone not in his little circle of confidants. It surely attracts the Trumpian element in some readers but it is not even a political view to choose to talk to people instead of having them killed outright because they object to your world domination Yes there is a war brewing. Yes the heavens are ruthless.. There are billions of people that are now his "subjects"and positioning yourself as a ruthless dictator and snorting away their objections, without a substantial political and military apparatus in place to suppress the masses and a network of cronies to do your bidding his plans for a meritocratic utopia will end in tears, There's always a bigger fish and no matter how powerful his ax swing is or how many Dao branches he cultivated, Zach will end up as a mass murderering tyrant or he will be deposed by more powerful factions that may or may not be benevolent to the rest of mankind. In any case, as a main character, I can't really root for Zach and his attempts to attain ascension anymore. Glorifying fascism simply doesn't appeal to me.

A great continuation of the series.

It was nice seeing a former face return into the spotlight again in this book. I missed the chemistry between the 2 characters. Now looking forward to the next book, wish it'd be here sooner.

Like always the narrator did a fantastic job telling the story so massive thumbs up to Pavi.

Excellent

This was yet another great listen. Good progression.

Somehow these never get stale. I can easily see another 10 books in this series, and for once that doesn't bother me.

Pavi gives his usual quality as well, which just elevates the whole thing.

Completely Unfocused

Here's the issue: This series has suffered from a lack of focus since the third book. Now it's just spinning out of control. Hundreds of two-dimensional characters now fill the pages. Each has a weird name and pops up at a random time. Readers might not have seen the character in question since the third book in the series, and those same characters might have only been seen seen in passing; yet, readers are expected to know them and their place in the plot. Best of all, readers aren't given any background to remind readers why said random character is suddenly central to the scene and storyline. It leaves readers with the sense they're watching a daytime soap opera rather than a well designed plot. J.F Brinks is drifting further and further from the core of the story. Was there even a plot in this book? There certainly wasn't a climax or resolution. This "focus drift" is becoming par for the course in litrpg. The last few books by big names like Zogarth and Shirtaloon. It's as if the authors prioritize page count over plot integrity. Also, where has the growth gone? If it takes 10 books for Zac to get through the "E" ranks, how long will it take him to get through the "D" ranks? Each rank is supposed to take longer than that of the one before, right. So what are we talking, 30 books for the "D" rank? There is no chance this series can hold readers attention for that long, especially as J.F. Brinks diverges further and further from the main character and main storyline. And what about ranks "C," "B," and "A?" If Brinks want to tell the story of Zac's rise to supremecy, we might be looking at hundreds of books at this rate. It's a bummer. The core story is interesting enough to create a solid series; but if this "focus drift" continues, it'll lead to a diminished readership, and, eventually, an unfinished story.

Back to what I love.

This book was much better than the last. I really felt like the story was starting to go off course but this book reeled it back in for me. It also felt like we got a whole lot more story this time. I'm happy that We will finally get some actual progress. Overall this was an excellent installment similar to the earliest books in the series. Keep up the good work.

Great book, but disappointing

(Spoiler) Book 11 in the series and Zack is STILL not a D grade cultivator, but he’s “right at the peak” of E and ready to go… So frustrating. It’s like intercourse without the climax.

But, this is still a great addition to the series. A lot of great things happening and a lot of familiar characters converging together again. Looking forward to the next book already.

Hegemony

I loved this book, it was great like they all have been… BUT I kinda hate that it cuts off right before the Perennial Vastness rather than after.
8/10 from that
