Nice but not great
I had to reread the earlier books as they have veen published years ago and i had forgotten the plot.
In my opinion the story progressed way too fast. Despite not having properly explored and pacified the surrounding area of their starting town, the whole of this book is about defending a second town against the forces of two patrons already.
Criticism and comments
Luckily, food seems to beno concern in this world. Otherwise at least Sanctuary would be rather doomed!
The statements about the Arkon field felt inconsistent and contradictory! The other races are not supposed to be able to cross either its borders nor the ones claimed by human factions but the orks seemingly do whatever they want..
Once again struggled with the levels of the humans. They seemed inexplicable high.
The enemy's communication is never explained. Sometimes they seem to be able to contact each other super fast over big distances, then again they can't..

First 2 books, 3.5 stars.
This book is a mess and mc is an idiot. Constantly plot armor, constantly bending rules, mc gets all the advantages.
World building is terrible, the entire orc can pass arken shield is already horrible design, but be able to siege a system protected settlement at range is just cringe-design.
Power system is ok’ish, spellcrafting is a horrible and lazy system; mc just costantly pulls spells out of his ass.
I love apocalypse litrpg ‘clean slate’ type of book series, but no. Just no.

As is often the case in this genre, the greatest deficit of this book is its attempt to be litrpg. If the MC were just a powerful mage, he’d be just a typical OP MC, and I’d move on. But because an underlying game system and mechanics support everything that happens, you are constantly pulled out of the moment when the MC does things in complete defiance of the game system.
What’s the point of writing litrpg if your MC is the exception to every rule?

Finally
This was the first litrpg I ever read that led me to eventually over a year later becoming an author... Beautiful that it's back and with gusto.
Highly recommend

long awaited
Patience is rewarded!
A few new threads added to the tapestry: svartalfar and their thralls; gnomes; and more from the temple guide.
Not as long as wait for the next one (March 2026).

good but way too short, less than 250 pages is not a book
The story is good and making progress but at its current rate of release and the depth of the book I’ll be long dead before the series is completed. Looking for to the next one.

4.5 stars. I was pleased that the author resumed work on this series. Book 3 was another quick read. I appreciate that the MC while advancing faster than anyone else in the story, is not as ridiculously over powered as many authors have done with their series.

Did not disappoint
I was sad that I had to wait as long as I did for book three,but I understand had good work can’t be rushed.This was definitely good work.

Very good book
This is a fine LitRPG fantasy adventure novel. It is well written and edited. I especially like the Shadow Lions. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

Captivating till the very end
Every page leaves you itching to find out what happens next. A very hard book and series to put down once picked up and already one of my favourites.
