Such a good series…

Absolutely appreciate the incredible imagination it took to build this amazingly complex world & its culture, and just loved the equal complexity and development that the author built into all the characters that held the stage just briefly or throughout the series.

I’m damn near devastated to reach the end of this book without the protagonist leaving the Dungeon, and realizing that the wait (timeline) for the end of this incredible tale is just a big unknown

Bloody hell… I want more asap .

I love how this series can switch direction without making it feel ill-considered. This book turns into a Tower climber, but everything was carefully laid out to make it feel like a natural progression. I find tower climbers often a mixed bag, but this was another successful presentation of one. I usually get bored quickly with overly complicated and convoluted floor mechanics, where I just get lost in the tedium of jumping through a dozen hoops to accomplish pretty arbitrary goals. This feels much more natural like they are just entering one natural world after another without a lot of artificial constraints put on them.

Very much looking forward to the next book and seeing what Emie does with her break.

PTTSD post timetravel traumatic stress disorder

Lots of wacky time dilation stuff, a time traveling Time mage in a time dilation dungeon: she lives lived decades while people at home live four times slower. Levels super fast, though, since when she steps out of the dungeon, she’ll be closer to ascending than a lot of the Atlantis Alliance.

A good mix of fighting, crafting, and relaxing with friends and people who may become friends (if they don’t stab you in the back and loot your corpse).

Is mana like gravity? Or does it require a faster subjective timeline to create a higher concentration of mana?

Phenomenal

These books keep getting better. While some of the story felt a bit scattered, it’s completely understandable considering the nature of the book. I was satisfied with the ending, but I eagerly await the next. It certainly helped that I gave the first 2 installments a reread to refresh my memory and familiarize myself with the story and characters. Thank you for sharing this with us; it truly was a pleasure to read this series.

better than expected

I read the first two, but this book felt like it wouldn’t be so much a continuation as something different and that really turned me off. Usually I find when authors change the focus too much and pacing they tend to do a significantly worse job. Finally, I decided to give it a shot and really enjoyed it. There are obviously some major changes here, in pacing and characters, but it’s still really well done.

Change

Massive change. This is *very* much Progression Fiction, as it is now a Tower Climber.

No real ‘Big Bad’, though the MC has some challenges to overcome as various people try to kill her. Excepting a conflict on the 4th floor.

Book 4 is still being written. I am interested in following the story, but not *quite* interested enough to pay for Patreon access.

solid book 3

So much has happened and Emie is moving towards ascension quickly. I like seeing the progress through the dungeon and can’t wait to see what happens when she reunites with her family

Really enjoyed reading this one. Emie experienced a lot in the dungeon, and loved the friendship between her and Zavira.

Loved it!

A story to pass so many years is difficult but the author accomplished it brilliantly. Character interplay was engaging. I'm eager for the next book.
