Sylver Seeker 2: A LitRPG Adventure
With all the small matters handled, only the big ones remained.
With Ciege back in the land of the living, and with Lola settled into her new position in Arda, Sylver was left to deal with his greatest foe yet.
A [Hero].
And the demons, cultists, and other nonsense that the [Hero] brought along with him.
Join Sylver as he embarks on the adventure of the unlifetime to shoo away the insane god empowered child that threatened to wreck everything Sylver had so painstakingly built up over the year.
With the woman in white’s visit mere months away, Sylver would have to act fast, act hard, and he would need all the strength and corpses he could get.
Book 2 of this Fantasy LitRPG Series about a reincarnated necromancer growing in power and finding his way in a new world where the rules have changed vastly since he last "lived."

This is second in a LitRPG series that you really don't want to read out of order. So read in order. 😄
This is more of the same, but in a good way. I'm really enjoying Sylver's pragmatic approach to problem solving with it tied to the people he cares about. This book also pulls forward how his default is to try negotiation first. Even with openly hostile opponents, he takes the time to talk to them if he can. At least, if he hasn't already decided to wipe them out for one of his pragmatic reasons.
So he's perfectly fine killing folks and doesn't hesitate to dish out the pain, but he's thoughtful about it? Which is interesting as Sylver continues to explore his world and make his place in it.
I don't have much else to say that isn't already in the review of the first book. Still five stars and I'm still loving spending time with him and his friends.
A note about Steamy/Chaste: Yeah, there's still just barely enough that I can't call it chaste, but not enough to justify steamy. There's not a lot of that kind of thing at all, but just enough to not tag any of it...

Mostly on par with book 1, just less good
One of the things that delighted me about book 1 was the essential decency of the MC Sylver. In book 2 he's been made into more of a DGAF Badass. Seeing as how most every other aspect of the series is familiar territory, book 2 suffers from having yet another tiresome "I'll burn the world to get my way" antihero. It's not that Sylver 'turns' evil, it's just that he seems to care a lot less about human suffering than he did in book 1. Also, bragging how unaffected you would be to do terrible tortures is a weird flex. I'm really unimpressed with the alleged badassery of sociopaths.
The writing is just about as good in all other respects, although Kennit Kenway would have really benefited from an editor. This book would have been better if it were about one quarter shorter.

This book has a cat in a bow tie. Excellent choice.

Lost the thread.
Besides really leaning on the underpowered necromancer angle and adding in several OP figures, this has lost the carefree feeling that made book one so much fun. This is tedious and has no build up.

4 I Took The Promise Along With It Stars
Silver Seeker 2 is the second book in the LitRPG Adventure series by Kennit Kenway.
I believe what I find most upsetting about the ending is how much of this book focuses on Sezari preparing and planning for the mysterious woman in white. Yet she has not appeared. Beyond that annoyance is how the ending doesn't feel resounding and final. He lives going from one extreme experience to the next, and while there is enjoyment to be found in the journey. It's difficult to describe as complete.
Flesh and Bones are indeed interesting additions, and in the long run, they will provide answers to some of the more important questions. But they open up even more with the knowledge they've already shared.
This leads me to wishing that this story had a more precise goal... I understand that Sylver hopes to find those from his first existence, or at least confirm with absolutely certainty that they are no more. But that outline alone leaves so much open... He's already building something of a new family, not to replace what he lost, but it's seems he almost can't help but make connections as he goes a long... Makes sense, giving a core aspect of his entire reason for being is the protections of those he loves.
I like the cat spy network ruled by a female king called Kitty. I like mystery of the systems creation, I only wish it didn't try to harm him every time he tried to decipher it further. I live the relationship him and Spring are building, and I am excited for when he creates more sentient shades.

My son seems to like this series quite a bit. I'm not entirely sure why.
There finally seems to be a developing plot, but it's so backgrounded as to be almost invisible. Most of the book just covers activities with no obvious overarching plan.
The protagonist is described as being underpowered, but his actions prove that he is, rather, very overpowered. There have been no real challenges to him in this book or the previous book in the series, and worse, the writing has made it clear that there have been no challenges. This makes it very difficult engage with the story.
The supporting characters are sketched in, with the most-developed character being a raised shade that is functionally just a reflection of the MC.
While there has been a bit of world development (finally), most of the world is an ill-described generic medieval fantasy. The few organizations and political entities mentioned struggle to reach two dimensions, much less three.
That said, this isn't an egregiously terrible book. The sentence/paragraph-level writing is solid enough and there are hints of something greater. But, in execution, it's a book with an interesting premise and characters that could have been really entertaining that ends up being a slog.
Not recommended.

A fun series so far, but the episodic nature and the lack of a clear overarching plot feels lacking.
What I like: the magic system, the characters, the combat. See my first book review for more detail on these points.
What I don’t like: the episodic plot and the MC constantly rehashing moral arguments.
Episodic plots are rare in progression fantasy, but can be done really well at least in other genres. For instance the first Witcher novel is episodic but is done very well. This series, it’s less clear we are going from one episode to another and there’s less payoffs or stakes for each episode. So this style of writing isn’t wrong, it’s just sloppy in this case.
I cannot listen to the MC talk one more time about moral issues. We get it. Let’s move on.
In a way, this is a series that is very self aware as to what this genre really is, a form of power fantasy, and thus indulging in a OP main. But in other ways, the constant moral self discussions for instance, it’s the opposite. This gives the series so far a sloppy vibe. But I still like the character, his abilities and the world building enough to keep reading.

Interestingly fun
The character is great , a man of his word with a good outlook of life and trying to get back his friends , he wakes up from a long hibernation and makes a deal with his host , save his girl for his body , he's not an unfeeling necromancer, he can be , but only if he has to and if you make him , prefers to talk it out and come to an agreement or you catch his shade ... literally lol. Great story learns to live again and tries to find clues about his old life , along with making new friends and enemies , it's good finding out his life as he finds out and how he still lives his life and enjoys the little things and the Bandits he takes care of for his projects , all the while helping out the little folk . Read it , twists and turns and a great and different lot of characters all with great character , great read , just saying, I'm not usually into Necromancers , but this one does it right

Jurassic park the mystery deepings
I only found out book 2 was coming out to day yesterday when I saw a book cover with Sylver on the cover because one of the lists showed books I’d be interested in.
Was being abit to hopefully that forgot how much random fights take up 30% of the book that I skimmed through them only stop if I notice a third chacther talking. Has the story progressed you rarely see what other chacthers beside Sylver or his minions are thinking, other chacthers you just go off facial expressions said story.
I hope that the author does a better job of showing promotional telling upcoming book release in this series has I almost didn’t know this was coming out till almost the last minute

Not as good as the first book, but it's passable. I would recommend it if you read the first one but doesn't really stand out on its own.
Nothing much happened in this book. The first book have a feeling of accomplishing something or at least some progress. But the second one felt like half of a book with the setup for something interesting and then it just ended. It kinda pissed me off to be honest.
Or it could be just that the steaks feels much lower and the characters more ordinary that they should be. The protagonist and some other characters should be the peak of humanity or whatever their race is but they just aren't. I'm just hoping it isn't that the author choose to portray more complex and stronger characters than they are capable of.

Same as the first book
Basically everything you love about first book continues on this one.
In short, we have an overpowered MC due to its knowledge who is trying to get his old power back.
To be honest, I find MC’s personality annoying but story itself makes up for it.
Finally, the LitRPG part of the story is a bit weak. In other words, system could’ve been better. For example, system level ups are not really adding much in my opinion. I mean there is a power increase but kinda feels like it is in name only.
So I would recommend this to anyone who likes an OP protagonist with a good story and doesn’t mind the system much.

This is a disappointing sequel. Sylver is no longer relatable or growing. He's just an asshole who takes what he wants. The book itself is full of fluff and pages upon pages of the MC talking to himself (or shades) about stat allocation. The MC's wisdom from the first book just gets completely nerfed this time because the System gives him headaches when he thinks about it. He's pretty much an OP idiot this time around. Finally, the editing is terrible. There are multiple typos in every single chapter, and good feedback would have cut about half of the prose.

Another interesting read.
In my review of the first book I questioned if it was a good book. Having read this one i I believe i understand my issues with the series better. This is very much a wholesome cozy slice of life series trying to cosplay as a dark and grim litrpg. Nothing
system wise matters, and while there is an over arching goal the mc kinda just goes from one thing to in their daily life. That being said, I'm enjoying it and the characters and story are intriguing. Definitely plan on continuing to read it.

Whatever spell that mesmerized me during book1 wasn't really there for most of book 2 and book2 actually only captured my attention in the last three to four hours, see I knew it had to get better. I spent most of my time not really liking Silver Seeker at all... if it hadn't been for the action-packed fight scenes kept me going I probably wouldn't have finished the book. And of course the ending left me wondering what's gonna happen next... 🙃 so sue me for being fickle.

It was a really good book, solid foundation built from the first book, and things are afoot. The power growth is pretty steady, building slowly, but foundationally. I enjoyed the way Sylver thinks, how he knows so many things from being the top tier lich from his previous life, and now he has very little power. This a great way to show how knowledge can overcome power and with a lot of knowledge and a little power - how much can be accomplished.

sylver seeker 2 excellent book
Likable, character, sensible, good head on his shoulders. The MC shows some character growth during the book. There’s good world building and excellent supporting characters. Some action some slice of life. This is one of my most favorite books. Enjoy the series if you have not read, it do so start from the first book. It is very enjoyable.

Just an Arch-lich looking for family
Still an excellent story, start with the first volume.
Having read this as it was originally released on RR, the editing is excellent and adds to the ease of reading while keeping the story excellent. Looking forward to reading the next volume.

Whereas the first book had pleased me, this second volume ended up confusing me, and my interest vanished just as quickly. It has several strengths and a very decent structure, but ultimately, the main character wasn’t sympathetic enough for me to continue. I had to stop after 3 or 4 hours of reading without conviction.

Not bad
This was a tough one to read. The first 50% was a lot of info dumping that I, personally, did not need to understand the character and his abilities. Then it would get good, followed by a bit more info dumping. Back and forth. I read Book 1 in a day and a half. This took me almost 4 days to get through. Thankfully, it ended engaging me again so on to Book 3.

Next Great Series
This story of a Archmage taking over a blacksmith’s body thousands of years later was fantastic. The System takes over the world while he was away, so he struggles to figure it out while the System punishes him every time he questions it.

This is a fantasy LitRPG series about a very powerful Lich/Necromancer who dies and is mysteriously brought back to life/unlife a very long time later. I like the series overall. See my review for book 1 for additional thoughts on what I've read of this series.

Underwhelming
Sylver gets ever more OP and unrelatable. His shown readiness to torture, burn entire continents indiscriminately and commit mass murder to achieve his goals did not endear him to me. The cheesy fights and endless talks to show his greatness did not help either.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - even though I know he’ll make it out of tough situations bc he’s the main character and in previous life was super powerful, im always so surprised when he does actually manage to pull through

Just like book one, I really enjoyed this.
I will be picking up the sequel.
It's always great reading a competent protagonist.
