How did so many people rate this 5 star? Wtf was I missing?
Repetitive and predictable. Boring, flat humor. Anticlimactic battles. Lame angst. I felt as though this book was written for a middle schooler with the B rated boring conversations. Also, what happened to the leveling system? That is my favorite part in any LitRPG and was basically forgotten here. Potions seemed to have taken over instead. The first 20+ chapters (legit 10 hrs of content) of the book was unnecessary filler. I can't take it any longer.
This used to be my favorite series for this genre, however it should've been finished at book 3. I'm finishing this series for good, it's just going downhill.
Honestly the only thing I liked was the cover.

"So......what was the point of the first 9 hours of this book? How is everyone rating this 5 out of 5? The first quarter of the book is straight up filler nonsense."

You stopped before it got good. I hope you’ll pick it back up eventually!

I'm sad about it too, Jeff! I hope I'll pick it back up someday.
In response to your first line, often (the overwhelming majority I would say) of sequels in series will have an inflated ratings because (speculation on my part) those books are being read by people who became invested enough to finish the first book and continue on to the rest. Something helpful to remember and watch out for if you want to keep your frustration down, it is what is
Hmmm I did not have the same experience. I actually loved the ideas. The worms. The grand scales of fights. Yes. Some of the mechanics are used to create tipping points, but hey, James Bond is doing that for years. Anyway. I loved the fact that Finn and Jason got to have their moment, the coming together of all the avatars� MCU end game-ish? And yes� certainly invested in the characters.. but I’ve also dropped books. Just loved the whole story 😇🙏
