About this listen

As the Stone Raiders have grown in power, they have started to attract the eyes of established powers. Gudalo has become a viper's nest of schemers as the Gudalo Kingdom’s situation turns dire.

They might have fled the Selhi Capitol, but as Selhi is learning, one doesn’t simply get away with acting out against the Stone Raiders.

Dave and Party Zero continue to grow in power; finally free from the battles helping the Aleph, Demons, and Beast Kin, they are now free to work on their own skills and their new guild hall.

As the stone raiders return, their choices and actions will either lead then to become the most powerful guild Emerilia has seen or be wiped out by those who oppose them.

It's a good story a part from some annoying aspects. Such as "smile/smiled" being used to much. I didn't notice that during the first book, but 2 onwards seems much too prevalent.

The author also likes to repeat themselves or actions such as a character doing something big and awesome and the author showing that quite well. Then it will either have that character explain what he's doing to aomeone(s), or cut to another character who either explains everything in more detail via inner monologue, or explains it to someone else once they've "obviously" figured it out. It's like what they do in animé. It's a terrible trope for any author and makes the reader thing the author doesn't think we're smart enough but not doing the right think in show not tell, but showing and telling.

It's also gotten soooooooo lovey dovey in areas it's sickening. I'm all for a bit of romance in a story, but come on.

Though, as you can likely tell - book 6... so I'm still enjoying it, even if the main characters are starting to get OP. It's starting to feel a little too much like an animé inspired read. Though, there's nothing wrong with that, even Manga writers that write novels know not to add animé/Manga tropes to their books because that doesn't work, and the only reason there is so much explanation in Manga is because of the style of the print making it harder to show everything without having some other character dictate a little, and when that gets translated into animé (they don't do it nearly as much anymore) they kept the long-winded gasped "I get what he/she did now" moments that were needed in the Manga, which tended to fill out series more, which is partially why most animé series are so much shorter these days.

But I kind of got off tangent there. Overall, the book series is rather pleasant. The narration is good; not great, but good. The guys voices are much better for the male characters, but feel and sound wrong on female characters.

I will rate the series so far, 4 out of 5. The first book dragged me in with its unique litRPG story. Blending Sci-Fi and Fantasy with a real world "VR"MMO and aliens and all that good stuff. It's what has kept me from doubling the speed of the read, so I don't miss a thing.
