the positives first.
I liked the twist with Zack. I love the characters, I think the world is great. I love the concept. digging the progression…
my number one complaint with the prior audiobooks book was the 25 minutes worth of stats in the middle of chapters. the story and world is good but in the earlier books just sitting at a campfire let’s waste the next 20 minutes because I haven’t checked my stats in a chapter… was painful. Everytime they get 1 upgraded skill … let’s review every achievement a character ever got just feels like such a bullshit way to get a higher word count. I don’t need to hear that someone got first world kill every time when their skill upgraded and got new flavor text…
so thank you, thank you, thank you for giving those their own chapters so I can skip them!
my only real lasting complaint is the ridiculously long skill names… “the author used his skill, Written Words, My Art: the perfect waste of a readers time, the evolution of flow breaking sentences; to destroy the readers mind”
I’ll keep going with the series but it just kind of kills the momentum of a fight…. couldn’t we downgrade the long names to just “temporal cut” it’s not like we remember what every person’s 20 skills are or do since they evolve every freaking book…
it feels like a bad DBZ episode…
