I fear the elves will ruin the series
I have really enjoyed these five books and the MC. She’s been such a great bad ass, smart and likable. She’s really endured mind boggling pain to become strong. Tortured by the mud mage, the hell camp, horrific frontline battles, months of darkness in a terrifying dungeon as just a few examples. I loved how kick ass she was after getting out of the dragon’s nest, and thought enjoyed how the 3 elves gave her a different perspective. HOWEVER, after she spends with those stupid elves, she loses all that inner strength she’s had and seems like a horny little misanthropic bore. What kind of useless immortal elves are these who have so much power above any human ever and yet they don’t know shit about sapient beings a few thousand miles away? I hate those arrogant elves feel like they’ve invaded upon the narrative.

Still continuing to avoid its sexist themed human society (and maybe trying to make up for it with these other totally equal societies). How long until this is addressed and we are give a good reason for it?
Besides that this is a fine continuation, plenty of fun leveling and adventures.

is the character from the interlude looking for main character?

Following a fierce battle, Elaine and the dwarves find themselves trapped in an abandoned mineshaft in Pallos, contending with starvation, traps, orcs, and the looming threat of the dragon's rumoured lair.
Elaine's resilience shines as she confronts isolation and battles to reunite with her comrades. The narrative strikes a perfect balance between action, introspection, and discovery, maintaining an engrossing pace. The subterranean world-building is vivid and immersive, breathing life into Pallos' unique realm.

This is just getting more boring.
There is a pointless meandering that, combined with the MC devolving back into an idiotic child, makes for a horrifically boring read. I skimmed so much of the last two thirds and missed nothing that was story related. This whole book I'd mostly fluff and filler.

Why is she so dumb? Why does she stay kinda dumb? Why does she just tell people everything without reserve to random people like it's a good idea. This book series is nuts.

A bit of a letdown after the previous books.
The characters are a bit shallow, and/or replaceable (more often than not, they keep getting replaced, in fact - either by dying immediately, or just suddenly fading out of the story), the MC makes decisions that just don't mesh with her previous character development, and then the elves appear and ruin everything.
It feels like the author threw a lot of character ideas and concepts at a wall and waited for absolutely anything to stick. I just don't understand why the elves of all things were the thing they kept around, because they definitely didn't stick at all. Long winded plot lines and character introductions went absolutely nowhere, and then the most generic set of characters - a bunch of unnaturally good looking, archetypal elves - is kept around semi-permanently.
The entire journey of the MC is immediately rendered irrelevant by a pack of immortal elves. Everything she's achieved? They shrug it off: "yeah, decent, but not uncommon." Maybe in another 10,000 years she can catch up to them. Until then: might as well not even try.
The forced romance with one of the most boring, generic characters in the history of fiction was the killing blow. He barely feels like a side character, I genuinely don't even remember his name... what does she see in him? I don't think she knows herself. His only redeeming feature is being unnaturally good looking. I struggle to think of any other character trait to be honest, positive or negative. It doesn't feel organic in the slightest, but more like a plot line that just had to appear now for whatever reason, even if it made absolutely no sense.
Iona's perspective still not being explained really irked me as well. She still hasn't appeared in the "real" storyline, it's still seemingly a complete waste of time to read through her chapters at all. I found myself mostly skipping through her random interlude, because I neither found it interesting, nor did it seem to have any relevance to the actual story - still - after multiple books of her interludes just randomly appearing. The mystery was kind of fun the first time, the second time I was POSITIVE we'd get a resolution, but at this point: how many more books until the chapters... do anything I guess?
Are they completely disconnected? Can I skip them? Do I have to force myself to read through them to understand some plot development all the way in book 12 or something? I'm genuinely puzzled and really put off by this.
If her story is relevant, I'd really needed a hint like 2 books ago and a resolution very soon. If her story has no relevance (I genuinely don't know), I don't understand why it's here, and not in a separate book.

Addled minds are poor plot
Elaine isn't usually so impulsive.
This book's plot was 95% driven by Elaine being dumb and dealing with the fallout by being more dumb.
Classes up choice? Dumb. Illogical. She's all about learning and she avoids a powerful class because she's homesick and doesn't want to learn? Account being papillons prophet makes sense. This one doesn't, and the book would have been better to just not include it as a choice or needed more downsides. Elaine is forever less cool because she's a butterfly when she could have been a unicorn.
She runs for weeks because she hears her own footstep echoes?
Elaine feels like she was a true leader that's masquerading as a support, and now she's become an actual sidekick.

There’s several aspects of this storyline and the MC that I really like. The magic is interesting and there are a few moments that kept me reading - excited to see what happens next.
Unfortunately, in the end, I was really frustrated with the direction (or lack of) in the book. There were several individual chapters that seemed like “filler” and after finishing the book, I feel like it was just a waste of time. Too many uncharacteristic changes by the MC that seem to have no value on the plot. I forced myself to finish it, hoping some chapter would pull things together and make me want to read the next one…. I don’t think I’ll be finishing this series.

Terrifying and exciting
After barely escaping the Titan style battle on the surface, there are understandable struggles. There's also a level of separation between Elaine and her companions. She finds the dwarves to be xenophobic, and because of this she doesn't trust them much. It doesn't help that when dwarves who are higher in society realize how capable she is. She is then a treasured captive basically. She makes a desperate escape, even knowing there could be more danger. I figured she'd find some high level monsters, but she stumbles on a completely unexpected one. That was a fun if scary series of events, then a new adventure. I love her flying option now.
Also, the inevitable ending the book with a separate character was great. You can understand who is that character and why. It was a relief to not read about a random and seemingly unrelated character.

Great series
I very much enjoy reading this series! It has a lot of interesting and dynamic characters and the story itself is very intriguing. I like how in some ways the MC is OP but in other ways she is still weak. It makes her more interesting and lends to her growth as she progresses her skills.
There’s a lot of adventure and action in the story mixed with a bit of slice of life. It makes for an interesting balance but that’s also where we see a lot of character development.
Overall I definitely recommend reading this series. It’s fun and keeps me hooked so I don’t want to put it down!

When Dawn escaped the Dwarven city into the mines, she has no idea where she's going! Her only goal is to get home! And only way to escape her guards is to go deep and long. However the deeper she gets the more intriguing the monsters become, the likes of which she's never seen before. And she comes out in Lun-kat's layer, yeah totally, and Lun-kat's injured.
Go grab the book. If you want to find out if Dawn escapes or turns into a tasty nibble for a hungry dragon.
Here a quote that amused me:
"This totally gave new meaning to Axe body spray."

I think I might be about done with this series. I don’t need to read 10-20 pages of her basically talking to herself in the library about new skills and why they would be good or bad. Then the fact that she goes from someone who has 40 years of life experience to a fn teenager and then back again. Pick a lane. I don’t mind the fact that she’s able to regenerate arms and legs and other body parts but getting decapitated and instantly regenerating that gets me. She’s basically immortal. So why bother reading any further. This is just a teenager spring break

ONE STAR FOR THE CLIFF!
Honestly as always an exceptional read, found myself turning pages faster all while not wanting it to end. Little bit of a regression on the Elaine not handling romance that I personally don't care for, but that it is her character. That and not KNOWING WHAT'S INSIDE are my only complaints. The world is expanded all over again in a meaningful way, we get some hints and education about the future. I don't know how I'm going to last until the next book!

Great
This was definitely another highly entertaining read with a further expansion on this ever expanding world. Also, the revelation at the interlude at the end of the book was also very entertaining, and eye-opening as well. It certainly made sense, considering how strong the dragon was, but it was also rather amusing. If you enjoyed the previous books, you will definitely enjoy this one.

Not as good as the previous books. It's still fun and advanced but more cut aways and the non-human interaction are meh. I can see now why other people say they dropped this series after the elves arrive. While I won't drop it out right, it did take me longer to read those 10+ chapters then the rest of the series up to this point combined. (It took me three weeks to get to them. Then almost 4 to complete the book) There is just so much cringy awkwardness.

Another great entry!
Book started super strong. Dwarves were great and interesting. The tension throughout the mines and Elaine slipping away.
The elves were fun at first. This section seemed to drag a bit. Still, all the class up chapters always make me skim them to her decision.
No Iona interlude which makes me even more confused to even have her in the earlier books if she doesn't have a part to play yet.

I have to give this book the lowest rating for the Shere stupidity of the MC.
Honestly really liked the first few books, but she's now 20, but acts like an 8 year old.
Sees Elves and what does she do? Gives them her most valuable possession, followed by telling them everything they want to know. And honestly I can't tell if she's just being stupid or if it's a skill.
That tells you what my thoughts on her are - far too naive and absolutely stupid. Immortality will not suit her well.

Can't wait for more.
I'm starting to get an idea of where Elaine ends up in the future now, and I'm on the edge of my seat to see EXACTLY what White Dove has to say about our little healy-bug's plans.
Also, the Dragon's Lair? The implications of all those eggs are astounding. Lun'kat is a monster unmatched, and this author has truly done dragons justice.

Great Continuation
A good continuation of the story after the epic conclusion of the last but not a terribly exciting one by itself. Very much a joining piece, to bridge the gap between events or the saga but massively expanding the world lore and developing a lot that will be part of a larger whole in the future

Wow! I've said it before, but I'm gonna say it again. This series keeps getting better and better. The adventures Elaine has been going through is pretty fucking epic. I always thought she was a tad over powered but I'm so wrong and it's good for Elaine to learn that she still has far to go to become truly strong enough to keep herself and her loved ones safe.

so much potential.
This series has potential. It probably could be a book smaller. It is part power gaming and and part world building. There is too much gaming reference and statistics but some of the character interactions work. The world build is interesting but the escalation is very erratic. Some good subplots.

I’m sad that is over!
I really enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book! I liked the characters and skills, The monsters and the environment. The world is getting more and more fleshed out. Thanks for the story it was great

A weak entry in the series
Honestly struggled to finish this book the prior entries were fun and interesting in there own ways but this one felt like a slog between the underwhelming peak in the story and the boring characters introduced.

fair trade indeed
Good read. And no story from the past/future? Still a great story. Love the growth. Even if not the strongest in the series great way to introduce the mc to the wider world.

The book starts with what was basically a ridiculous dungeon escapade, this set the tone for most of the rest of the book, which was fairly boring and definitely rambled on far too long.
There was far too much discussion over skills and classes and I would have happily done without the Elves.

Gets a little hormony at the end. Still a nice addiditon if a little slower at points.
I feel like this series just does everything averagely. It has a decent story with decent character development and world building but does it in such a way that none of it is extraordinary.

trolling
The blessing of the System on top of self healing on top of all her endurance training makes a pretty tough cookie. Still a little immature (or insane), and her thing for mangos is just walking into White Crow cursing her that way for seizing immortality.

Really enjoyable. I liked the stuff with the dwarves but was happy to move on from it. Fantastic series
