Path of Progression #6
Dungeon Heroes 6
How do you defeat a vicious Dungeon Master with power over all the dungeons in the world?
This is the question that confronts me and my team after our journey to Cozocomo. The Vann family has struck so hard that it throws the fate of the entire world into question. With dungeons overflowing everywhere, it’s up to us to stop them for good.
I’m going to need the help of all my allies if we’re going to make our last stand. I didn’t come this far just to lose now, and no matter what happens, I will stop the Vanns from achieving total domination.
Even if that means I have to pay the ultimate price.
Join me now for the final conclusion to the Dungeon Heroes saga!

One of the most frustrating parts of a video game is when a developer recycles boss fights in an arena setting in order to extend the gameplay. Now I know the literary equivalent is just as frustrating.
Path of Progression had a lot of potential as a series: the setting was interesting, the characters fun and endearing, and the overarching story followed a classic, proven formula. Unfortunately, it's plagued by long chunks of unbroken dialogue and monologuing (especially during fight sequences, killing the flow and pacing completely), pointless fake-out deaths, drawn out combat and a wildly inconsistent system/world where the rules change to fit the scene.
The combat has been the series' weakest point and this book is almost entirely combat focused, with very little downtime between each fight. Quite frankly it was a terrible way to wrap up the series. The single saving grace was the epilogue. I'm a sucker for a HEA with marriage and family, and this was probably one of the best I've read. I just wish the rest of the book could have been as good.
It's honestly disappointing to write this, because this had all of the building blocks of a fantastic series, but it peaked with the first book. If there's one thing I hope Hammond doesn't carry into his other works it's the sheer amount of death and revives, because when you see characters die so often you stop caring when it happens. Watching your party falling and having to be revived in a game gets old quick and the literary form is no different.

Good Read
This was a good read. Lots of action good battle scenes not to many glaring contradictions. And I did like the epilogue. The main thing that I didn't like was the coming back from death thing. I mean I lost count of how many times they died in this series. But overall it was a decent series

Great way to end the series. The climax of the series brought all the loose ties together and gave one climatic, final dungeon to make you feel that the team's progression was for a purpose. The ending allowed you to feel that they truly ended how they wanted. The ability to look back after their retirement was a nice closing.
Would definitely recommend this series.

Lots of fun!
I enjoyed reading this final book of this series. It had lots of action, moved quickly and had many happy endings including at least two kids for each member of the harem!

Excellent series
This story does a wonderful job of tying up all the loose ends of the series. I will miss the main characters and greatly enjoyed my time with them. Thanks to the authors for sharing their vision with me!

Book 6
I just didn't want it to end! Lol. I mean, I know that they are the best & all but it didn't seem to be enough diving. Or maybe monsters. The healing was game over really! I don't know. But I really liked the wholes series. The books kept my attention until the end.

I feel like the end was rushed and a lot of what made this series awesome was lost in the process

riveting
A very book for the final chapter of the saga. Plenty of suspense, action, adventure, danger, horror, destruction, drama, magic, violence, and romance.

1st LitRPG Story
This was an awesome read. It was my first of this type of stories. I'm not into gaming so this was a tough to understand read but I thoroughly enjoyed the stories .
