This is third in a series that doesn't even have different titles for each book. Read in order.
This continues on the same vein, but the power curve is so steep that our main characters are pushing the boundaries of the Titans at the start. This picks up with them in Hell and I thought it'd be a long slog to full-on Titan status. Nope. That happens pretty quick. And they keep climbing. So that's some strong power fantasy right there.
Two things knocked me out about three-quarters in. First, all the alternate PoVs annoyed me beyond all reason. Pace-killing thread-shifting sucks anyway, but mix that with various plotting bad-guys and I found my patience wearing thin. Very thin.
Second, I stopped caring about the stakes. By the time they , I found myself completely disconnected from the story.
So I made my own ending in my head and quit. I'm going to give this 2½ stars but I'll round up because I liked the characters and my ending didn't suck. Yeah, I'm being a bit capricious. But at least my head-ending stopped PoV hopping...

DNF 63%
The whole book is just power level porn, but the levelups matter only when the plot says it does. Abilities do this, unless the plot does say it does not against that enemy.
Nearly every chapter some new ability gets pulled out of your ass and then never talked about again.
Nullspace, bla, nullspace, bla, titan, bla, titan... Oh now the super op nullspace would be inconvinient, hmmm she looses access for a chapter... Nullspace, bla, nullspace, bla, titan, bla, titan... - way too much repetition for it to matter only when its convinient.
All antagonists are black with zero redeeming qualities. In short: boring.
Fae and Angels suddenly play a great role, without really introducing them to the story before.
The super strong Angel 1 is going against the first Titan... aaaaand he's dead off screen... I mean really? All the Categories get introduced to litterally not matter at all...
Reality is breaking, everyone is dying. Places never mentioned or shown before break down... who cares? The world is big, but never shown. Most people outside of the 3 MCs die in an afterthought out of different PoVs, because oops power was too high in their proximity... I was never made to care.
And then it commits the sin of using timetravel to fix the story. Bah.
This is just a chore. Cut a lot of the really pointless and meaningless power ups down to maybe 400 pages or less and there is a story there. The first book did the same mistake in trying to make an "action-arc" nonstop over 1/2 of the book. You can't have an action high so long for it to not start feeling like a chore.

Progression fantasies are a guilty pleasure of mine, even if I find most of them to be interchangable parades of mediocrity. While Shih does not deserve my sharpest barbs and most bitter of poisons for the failures of the genre (those are reserved for Jay Krauss who I will GET to one day), Shih is still getting my medium sharp knives and some light toxins.
This book flatly fails on all levels to all audiences. Shih abandons the progression fantasy for the constant power scaling arms race, a fact which was flawed in the second book but becomes comical here, where the entire conceit of even being a LitRPG is quickly discarded, threats are barely built up before they're slain, and the world is destroyed by the end of the second act. The characters suck, the action's boring, and Shih barely commits to ideas before blowing them up, culminating in the most boring universal destruction sequence I've ever seen written.
What an umitigated failure of a book. If this had come out two years later, I'd be asking if it had been written by ChatGPT.

I liked it but... (spoilers)
I liked that the premise of the story kept somewhat going. Evelyn kills and eats everyone she comes across. However, I found her romance with Sierra a bit weak and the weakest part of the story. I was kind of hoping that she would give in to her impulses and slowly but surely consume Sierra, but I guess that was out of the question. Another thing is how Sapphire was handled. She kept destroying everything and everyone, and her final fight was a bit lame. The fact that Evelyn even gloats about her win evem though she had massive helps was a bit annoying.
With all said and done, I liked it a lot, but I just wish Evelyn kept being evil to everyone regardless of who it was. The love between her and Sierra was just not for me.

High octane action packed deliciousness
For some reason I expected the pace of this book to be slower than the last one. It was not. In fact it took that balls to the wall speedy progression from book two and multiplied it lol.
I greatly enjoyed following Evelyn's story, growth, and seeing her demolish enemies. Happy to see the ending didn't turn into a tragedy, I was really worried for a while there best the end of the book.
Thanks for sharing the story! ❤❤❤❤

A Demonic and Sapphic Story for the Age
This is my favorite genre. My favorite broad strokes that are found in LitRPG/Fantasy/High-magic/Sapphic multiverse.
Like 'Vigor Mortis', 'The Forerunner Initiative' and 'Demon Princess Magical Chaos';-) Demonic Devourer takes flawed and beautifully violent lesbians from the bottom of the barrel to near God-like power.
If you like sapphic slow burn, intense Battles, crazy ascensions to godlike power this is the series for you!

Lesbians stay winning
Honestly, not the direction I expected the story to go, but quite a satisfying conclusion. I read litrpg pretty uncritically but this is well above average. As with the previous parts, the characters are the focus and drive, and they definitely give you some emotional moments.

Unfortunately I couldn't get through this. I didn't even get through 20%. To me it felt that it had lost a lot of the drive of the previous books. Both Sierra and Eve are killing people just because? There doesn't actually seem to be much of a reason behind what they're doing other than "Hey screw you Sapphire."

A weird and wacky end(?) to the story. This is more a system style story than litrpg in particular. The progression is crazy but explained well enough in the story that it makes enough sense not to be distracting. This is easier to digest than a lot of litrpg, as it does not get bogged down in stat sheets. I would recommend it as something a little different from the trend.

The perfect ending for the perfect story
Gay demon. Not a demon who was softened for The Media, this one eats souls and fought with weapons made of blood. She Advances, she Kills, she Protects, and she Devours up to godhood, and beyond. She overcomes her creator, and she creates.

Done with this series.
This has gone for complex and just got complicated. It is a chore to read. Three books in and there is not enough plot progression to make it worthwhile.

I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened but the story became boring and redundant. The ending was also anticlimactic…

More ridiculousness from our two holy, queer queens. 11/10 great build-up and ending.
