Divine Apostasy #9
Tarot's Ninth Harbinger: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure
In the wake of a cosmic upheaval, Ruwen emerges as an angelic being, his newfound Divinity granting him not just wings but a destiny intertwined with the fate of the universe. "The Ninth Harbinger" unfolds as a tale of gods and powers beyond comprehension, set against a backdrop where the fabric of reality itself is at stake.After surviving a vicious onslaught by six deities, Ruwen inadvertently unleashes the System, a force constrained since the dawn of the universe. Now unshackled, the System alters the cosmic order, creating rifts leading to fragments of destroyed universes. These rifts, brimming with strange artifacts and untold powers, present a tantalizing yet perilous opportunity for those brave enough to explore them.Amidst this chaos, the Harbinger quest emerges—a role laden with immense power, destined for only one. This is unwelcome news for Ruwen, who already carries the burden of restoring Spirit to the universe. The rifts provide a path for other deities to rapidly augment their powers, threatening the delicate equilibrium and placing Ruwen’s plans in jeopardy.Torn between universe-threatening tasks and personal desires, Ruwen grapples with the consequences of his choices. One friend lies unconscious, critically injured by Ruwen’s actions, while another mysteriously disappears from the battlefield, clutching the sword that pierced her body.Among these critical priorities, Ruwen must lead. To survive seemingly unending conflict, the country requires sweeping changes, including guilds, multi-classing, and a merit system. Ambitious town-building projects are set to reshape the country’s cities into defendable fortresses.When the inevitable attack arrives, Ruwen's decision to spring an obvious trap in order to save a friend leads to catastrophic consequences, threatening his friends, his allies, and potentially hurtling the universe toward ultimate destruction."The Ninth Harbinger" follows Ruwen, a Divine Apostasy, in his relentless pursuit of balance in a universe teetering on the brink of annihilation.

One of the weakest of the great series
Look, I'm nine books deep into this litrpg series. I'm obviously invested in Ruwen and his Scooby gang, but for some reason this volume just didn't hit for me. Maybe it was because the sheer gravitational mass of what has come before--and the author's need to contextualize every new discovery the characters make like a kid showing off their bedroom decor to their mom's half-interested date--or just that the story has gotten too big, the players too powerful for Story to beat out Exposition. It felt at times like I was reading a Wikipedia summary of the characters' power set instead of a book about their experiences.
Could I do better? Of course not, I'm just a dirt bag who binge reads fantasy novels like it's my true calling in life. But up till now, A.F. Kay HAS done better with this series. And I just wanted to call out this one as a let down. Maybe book 10 will get back to the personal journey and leave some of the need to recap everything that has come before in the rearview.
Even a dirt bag has to hope.

As this series is going on we're naturally introduced to more and more concepts and avenues to power. Up until now I feel like this has been done gradually enough, with each book somewhat focusing on a specific.
With book nine this has gone into overdrive, and in doing so has lost a lot of the charm the series held for me thus far. There are a lot of new abilities and grand sweeping concepts that are touched on and not fully explored, and all of this creates a rather frenetic book that jumps from place to place leaving loose ends everywhere.
Ruwen frequently mentions to himself how overwhelming everything is for him and how he needs to focus on specifics or get completely lost, and unfortunately I think the book left me feeling similarly lost and overwhelmed. It feels like there are multiple stories here all pushed together, and I personally would have preferred the focus to mostly remain in the already established worlds of the series.
There were moments that touched back to parts of the books and characters I've enjoyed so far - the interactions at the Pour Judgement, the Alchemy at the Black Pyramid etc. and others like the Rift that I thought were completely superfluous.
I'll still be reading the next book, however this one was a miss for me.

Unfortunately this wasn’t good. I’m debating the sunk time fallacy because 9 books in and not sure I want to continue.
This lost the charm of the other books, it felt more like a dry instruction manual. I rushed through it so it would be over. Meh.
Also everything is so convenient, the stakes never matter.

The ending has reinvigorated my interest in the series.
The author loves the magic system in these books but I'd prefer a tighter plot. There are probably a hundred pages in this book alone devoted to stats or upgrade options, the majority of which are not chosen. That's a lot of filler. The "waffle" is offset by an ensemble cast of relatable and likeable characters. A cast that appears to be getting larger... or is there a spin-off series in the works?

DNF at 12%.
I've blitzed through the previous eight books in this series, in around a week or two. Loved where the series was going, and what the author was setting up with the main character. But as I finished book eight and started book nine, I started to realise how many issues I have with this series and where it's going. As a result, I'm stopping. Here's why:
1.) Previous books would introduce 1-2 big upgrades, and you'd easily understand what had changed, and how that going to impact the protagonist and the world around him. Now, so many things are being added, and none of it feels well explained.
2. Some of the central themes are wrung out. First one? Ruwen having too much to do. It's to the point where I'm tired of everything he must do. He's constantly jumping from one thing to next, and nothing feels like it really has its moment. The moment one story/progression wraps up, it's on to the next thing. The second theme I'm tired of after eight and a quarter books? Ruwen's apparent stupidity. His intelligence and wisdom are now earth-shatteringly high, along with all of his other stats. He's also learned strategy, tactics, and god knows what else after years of training and mentorship by powerful people around him. So why, why, why is he still making dumb mistakes? Dude, you've been through and seen so much; and yet, everyone around him constantly acts like he's not done incredible things. Sift's commentary might be joking, but everyone else treats Ruwen with some kind of kid gloves. It's boring and reductive to his character, given how much he's been through and how high his stats are. He shouldn't still be making these mistakes.
3. I assumed incorrectly this would be a ten-part series. Apparently I'm wrong, and this is not the case. Starting book nine, I'm starting to see it. The author is now introducing , and it feels unnecessary to me. I don't want this to continually escalate. I enjoyed the stakes being overcoming It feels like the story is about to go way beyond that, and not in a good way IMO.
4. It looks like is going to play a bigger and bigger part of the story, and I'm never a fan of new big characters this late into a story. Whether this character becomes a deus-ex machina to solve future problems, I don't know. Admittedly, this might never happen-but it might- and that puts me off.
Wow, what a ramble. To sum up:
Giving it 3 stars as I didn't read too much, and if you're someone who's in for the long haul this story offers, you'll probably still enjoy it.

Well.
The author writes a good prose, and I liked all the previous books in the series.
The books are funny (Sift and Ruwen interactions), interesting and mysterious, with a good plot and twists - both expected and unexpected.
Liked it.
This entry into the series felt… off.
There are so many pressing items to handle, most of them life threatening- as in the entire world or universe threatening.
And Ruwen messes around with the Layout of his cities…?
Or with completing early level quests…?
Seems incredibly incongruous with … everything going on…
Seems like the author has a backlist of items he wants to put to rest, before adding a whole lot of new items, giving an iota of explanation and leaving it open for future books - which is kinda annoying.
Authors lose readers that way!
Not one mystery was explored to the end and gained significant advancement and plan for the future;
The System - how it works or what are its plans, besides destroying everything (itself included? Didn’t it have a self-preservation directive?)
The Prime - who and what? Just throwing some tidbits of info did not work well here
The Dark Priest - if he was so bent on enslavement and destruction, why did Ruwen treats this as secondary or less in his journey?
The Infernal Lord - come on… Ruwen, with his 1,000+ intelligence, multiple entities living inside him, a supportive and capable crew, some goddesses on his side, not figured it is BAD to leave Nameless (the destructive,Nihilistic entity) free ?
There are more annoying things like that, but nonetheless, I gave a 3 star, because I expect the next to be better!

The series so far has been great, plenty of conflict and at least the appearance of some challenge. This book focuses almost entirely on Ruwen and how amazing he has become, going into excruciating detail about the magic system, stats, mechanics, complex theorizing and how godly Ruwen is in his humble deityness. We jump from crisis to crisis where Ruwen is “in mortal danger”, but not really, oh and here are some more amazing powers obtained in 2 hours or lvl 16 to lvl 1000 grandmaster in a day, even though it takes every other god like being 100+ years. Over and over.
Boring filler content that didn’t seem to move the story forward while wildly buffing the mc. It is clear the author has lost himself in his creation - the plot is lost.
I hope the series gets wrapped up in a couple more books, the last thing we need is another 25 book litrpg series where nothing happens after the first 10 books. I don’t regret quitting the land, path of ascension, defiance of the fall or even traditional series like grrm or Patrick R when they lost the plot. I won’t regret leaving this one either.
I hope the series starts involving the supporting characters again and gets more concise, fast.

Too much explaining
This series has gotten way out of hand. Too many threads, too much exposition, too many data dumps, too many unfinished quests, too many items on the to-do list. Pick 2 and stick with them and you'll have a decent story. The book even hints at other books in a parallel story arc that I have no interest in searching out. The main character spends his day running from one meeting to the next. I want to read to escape my life, not read about someone having else having the equivalent of 5 zoom meetings a day. Oh good, he doesn't need to sleep, so he can fit in even more meetings overnight. It's exhausting without actually accomplishing anything.
The power creep is real, also. We have a demigod with demigod powers, so how do we make interactions a challenge?
I will continue to read the series over time (sunk cost fallacy, maybe), but i am in no hurry to rush out and pick up book 10.
This series was at its best when Ruwen and Sift were running the Black Pyramid together. Straight forward goals and clear character development instead of this current attempt to write a DND manual that incorporates every single nuance of every detail of every world. It's too much.

I love this series, but this book dragged for me, mainly because Sift, Hamma, and Lylan were absent for most of it on what I'm assuming is a forthcoming side novel. It highlights how good supporting characters can help offset a propensity for introspection and over-explanation. I have to admit I skimmed much of the city building section because I was just bored by that point, which is shocking given all the earth-shattering revelations we had along the way.
The one other niggle I have is that for a series that spends so much time over-explaining its game mechanics, a lot of conflict gets resolved with cheats. Need to be a grandmaster alchemist for the next book to make sense? I have a cheat for that - clones, baby, so many clones. Does the only conceivable peril to your MC require the literal world around him to explode and he only has seconds to live? I have a cheat for that - let's stop time and spend 20 pages really pondering the problem, then do something super improbable.
The book did finish strong with the return of Sift, Hamma and Lylan and the epilogue was intriguing. I am cautiously optimistic for the next one to return to form.

Edit: After wondering about the review score, I did go through the Goodreads comments and reviews..looks like the Amazon review farms have found new pastures.
Alright. I might have been a bit critical about the series so far. some were bad but it was mostly good..Good enough for me to commit 8 books of ~600 pages each.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. AFK attempted to go Steven Erickson mode and dump 500 new jargon terms out of the blue without any context or sense. And oh, the litrpg that started as fantasy and then somehow evolved into a wuxia/murim style(which I actually liked), only to abruptly be forced into a sci-fi? For the author who likes to repeat like a hamster on the wheel, this was .. I don't know man. and I don't give a damn anymore.
did not finish. no the book, and I don't care about the rest of the series either.

I love it, but I just can't stand the fact Lanquinriel is still alive, too much plot armor. This god was the one I singled out long ago, since he was'nt part of the pact, I guessed he was the first 1 to die among all the gods known to me that time. And, the title of the book didn't accomplish anything, since Lal (8th harbinger) is still alive. I would be very disapppointed if in the future, Izac gets to die first before Lalquinriel, Izac's existence in the story has always been obscure and if he will only die not having done anything major, him being the brother of Uru will be nothing but a waste.

I wasn’t expecting that…
I loved the stuff with Ruben, and Grave, but this seems a bit late in the course of a series to have such a massive pivot in the direction for the plot to take. Not that this may not have been in the works the whole time, since everything that happened here, was preceded by some key event related to Ruwen in a prior book; but this is definitely starting to develop in ways that wouldn’t have been imaginable through most of the previous books.
I’m curious to see where this will take Ruwen, his friends, and his allies.

Another great book
I really enjoy this series. The characters do still come across as very young despite their experiential age. I worried after a snippet in a previous book that Ruwen had a shelf life, so I'm happy that fear has been nixed. This talks more about others stepping up to take on all the responsibilities Ruwen has felt completely and individually responsible for. This helped him solve more and mark things off on his ever expanding list. I'm curious about the Earth additions. Tarot is also, thankfully, less sinister.

Another good addition to the series and it also answers a lot of questions. Fun seeing the cast of characters once again and the banter they have with each other.
The only issue I see with this one which has to do with length is that Ruwen has so much to catch up on that this book does have some important information and moments but almost feels like a filler book. It throws so much information at you and just Ruwen playing catch up without anything really going on until the end. It does feel like a setup book for the 10th one but it felt like a here’s an info dump, with Ruwen doing chores.

Another Great Entry
Another solid entry in the story, though despite a lot happening barely any time passes in it. It also feels like we’re getting tons of new pathways to power being opened up but none of them are explored in depth yet. Hoping next book we’ll start digging into all the things introduced in this one. Loved the story though and could not put it down. Looking forward to the next!

I do like the book.
For the love of all that is good, stop using "Begs the question" incorrectly.
This one felt a little more like a spreadsheet of actions taken than a story. Still enjoyable.
Not sure I like the turn this is taking with the spoiler location and spoiler character in the epilogue. Having them in that location as a power comparison would have been a fine one-off fan service kind of thing. Actually involving it this far into a book series is...concerning? I guess we'll see.

AFK, WTF, man.
This book is nothing but words to fill up a chapter. Schematics, Recipes and scinece that is BS for reader. No story, no challenges, nothing to excite the reader.
I took 2 chapters for the worm to put a book in her soul space. Dude. it takes 3 chapers to set some laws. I know you are paid my word count, but the last 3 books have lost it.
The wonder is gone, and it is hard to connect with the main characters.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!
I love that there is a lot going on. The story has so many layers. The characters are lovable and unique. Each one has a distinct personality. This series is a great Starter LitRPG. It leans into the System aspect but doesn't do it too much too scare people away. My favorite character is Rami!

Worst book in series so far
So many plot holes just spring up here and there, things just run on and then stop and the plot is simply all over the place. This is book 9 and things should have been presented earlier but we're just thrown in this book. The main character is such an idiotic moron and so gimpy in many ways.

I hope he knows what he’s doing
The author continues to somehow increase the power levels…and the stakes. I hope there is a plan.
Just maybe not a plan devised by Sift. Or named by him.

This one wasn't my favorite of the series, and we only got a little bit of what I consider one of the best aspects of this series, and that's the friendship between the 4. The action was okay, but the grand cosmic stuff always loses me. 👍🏽👍🏽

Lost 2 starts for not remembering what he wrote in chapter 25 and repeating it again in 78.
In 25 Whem he met Echo on Earth he told her how his artificial construct and his father had merged and he hoped they would die. But now in 78 he completely forgot that he already told her about that? Wtf.

The best so far!
Oof! The best one so far! The connections between worlds, systems, and styles is beautiful. I did not expect this level of world building near cosmere style when the series started but it's so well done.

Keeps getting better.
This LitRPG keeps getting better and better. But my God Ruwen is the most dense MC I’ve ever encountered. At least his finally starting to think things through.

great read
Everything keeps getting bigger and better. Worlds and realms unite cross and weave together. The characters are strong and make you want to lean in for more. One of the greats.

Great book
Love the humor, and the way the characters interact and think. The twist are some times a little frustrating, but when they do complete or solve the issue, it makes it well worth it. 😊

A good book in the series
This was a good book in the series. The development of the characters and plot progressed at a good pace. The banter between the main characters is fun to read.

Other than the consistently double standards, the book was entertaining and an enjoyable read.
