Mistrunner 4: A Cyberpunk LitRPG
A young woman possessing dangerous, destructive power is Earth’s last hope for survival against alien invaders in this cyberpunk dystopian adventure.
Viral, extraterrestrial nanites collectively known as the Mist have been transforming Earth and its inhabitants for nearly a century. The shapeshifting environment has wreaked havoc across the planet, changing the elemental structures of land, air, and water—and forcing every living being to endure an unnatural evolution. As animals warped into monsters and people developed superhuman abilities, the Mist also accelerated and amplified technology into tools and weapons that disrupted the world’s status quo. And while nations were plunged into chaos and war, aliens harvested Earth’s resources, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction.
Mira Braddock’s own humanity was sacrificed in order for her to become the world’s savior. A cybernetic soldier enhanced with a Tier 7 Nexus Implant, she’s a Mist Warden capable of manipulating the nanites inside anything and anyone, making her the most powerful and feared being in existence. Mira’s crusade against Earth’s enemies has brought mass destruction in her wake. Millions of aliens and humans have died at her hands. Each victory increases her godlike power, and she finds herself slipping away, struggling to relate to the needs of her allies—and Patrick Ward, the man she loves—as she undergoes an astounding transcendence.
But the alien Arbiters of Orion would rather destroy the Earth outright than allow Mira to become an even greater threat to their place in the universe . . .
The fourth volume of the hit sci-fi LitRPG series—with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

This was probably my favorite entry in the series. I've only just finished, so I haven't decided whether I like the closed ending or not, but at least the closure in unambiguous. I had a feeling he was capping off the series pretty early on.
I decided this pretty early on in the series, but Mira is not a good person. She is violent (obviously), selfish, and self-absorbed. That's not in and of itself an issue, but it bothers me a little that I don't know whether the author considers her to be a bad person. Definitely got mixed signals.
As for the negatives, there aren't many that were egregious or distracting, but:
There was still entirely too much self-justification, moralizing, and philosophizing about killing/murder, much of it just rehashing what's already be covered dozens of times prior. Related to that, there are plenty of tangents about mundane things that don't really contribute to the story in any meaningful way.
This is a pet peeve, but never once did the author use the word "comprise" correctly, at least according to traditional standards.

good ending
A satisfying ending to the series. Warps everything up, while leaving an opening to explore in future a series. If the author returns to this world.
