Renegade Ravager #3
Renegade Ravager: Devastation : A Men's LitRPG Sci-Fi Adventure
Revenge is the path of damnation – and I walk it willingly.
When my legion was falsely cast down, I swore I would see the stars burn and the galaxy bleed. The Star Ravagers would be redeemed and the Republic and the Saints would pay for the betrayal.
My path has carried me across the stars, joined by a beautiful AI, a driven engineer, and an alien hybrid. Together we have freed the survivors of my legion and uncovered the corrupt monsters that rule humanity.
To see the Saints cast down and my revenge complete we will need to go further. Our path will draw us to Earth, abandoned millennia ago. We will witness the mad plans of the alien invaders, the horrible masters that pull humanity’s puppet strings. Can we stop them while there is still a galaxy to burn?
The Star Ravagers will have their vengeance, and we will leave devastation in our wake.

Disappointed!
Not as interesting as the other books! Too much was repeated and not much new was added to make it gel! Don't know if I want to read the next book!

Dragging
Don’t know how a story about the end of the universe can drag, but this one is.
The sex scenes are also pretty meh tier.
As a 3rd book it’s ok, but that’s all it is.

Good continuation of the series. Very much in line with previous installments. Which means:
The Warhammer 40K meets French First Republic setting continues, and continues to be top notch. I legitimately think it works better than the offical version; the Imperium of Man is just a bit too...generic, and it subtly undermines how scary (or convincing) they can be. But zealots worshipping Logic, Reason, and Justice? Now we're cooking.
The villains continue to be eldritch horrors from beyond time and space, and continue to be well executed. It's easy to lean (as Lovecraft typically did) on the "unfathomable sanity draining horror" stuff, but that doesn't always make for a convincing antagonist. What does the shoggoth actually want, anyhow? But that's nicely adverted here, where the antagonists have all-to-understandable motivations and an understandable plan the heroes need to thwart.
The characters continue to be likeable. They're not super well realised, and I wish there was a bit more intercharacter interaction (although there is some, and what exists is excellent, such as ).
Honestly, it's exactly what it says on the tin: A good adventure story in the tradition of pulp genre fiction from days gone by. There's just nothing to dislike.
If you read the first two books, you really should read this one; if you haven't, well, maybe get on that?

Too much.
This part was over-dramatic and unrealistic. The enemy letting the heroes hear all about their evil plans while they‘re gloating. The heroes willingly walking into an oblivious trap only to barely make it out alive by a hairs breadth through a ridiculous amount of luck and unrealistic plotarmor. More than one half of the book was descriptions about the madness and malice of sub-reality and the influence of the outriders. It was simply too much.
Thats not even mentioning that this book left our team in a situation that is basically impossible to overcome without even more plotarmor.
I have to give the author compliments for creating a creepy, post-apocalyptic atmosphere and actually scary monsters.
Im gonna read the last part, but the story really got blown out of proportion in this one.

It’s ok, but instead of a “regular” revenge space opera, we’ve dived back into the cosmic horror pool. I personally liked the Outrider more when i thought it was a mysterious last-of-its-kind obstacle to them escaping sub-reality. Now that they are the driving force behind the plot, the occasional masked “Saint” is as close as we get to humanizing the antagonists. It makes everything less interesting.

More of a confirmation than a reveal.
So this was all the backstory setting up a big confrontation. Normally that would be fine, but enough of this has been leaked in the first two books that there is no big reveal. So the whole thing is just meh.

Good book
It would have been 5 stars but I don't know what's up with balan,last wish,last wasp or whatever her name is suppose to be. Litterly 3 different names in one paragraph

4.5 stars. Good for what it is, well-paced with adequate character development. Things are getting pretty dark, so I'm not sure how our protags pull this out, but I guess we'll see in the next book.
