Shopocalypse Saga #7
BuyMort: Singularity: How I Ended Everything
Tyson Dawes is back from the dead! Broke, lost, and more pissed off than ever.
Once the legendary leader of Silken Sands, Tyson’s name echoed across the multiverse as the Windowpuncher, the man who tore down the Church of BuyMort and carved out an affiliate that stood for more than just profit margins. But that was a century ago. Betrayed, left to rot in the void, and stripped of everything, Tyson wakes to find his empire gone, his legacy twisted, and the people he cared about most lost to time.
But Tyson isn’t one to stay down for long.
Armed with little more than grit, charisma, and his starfish suit, he sets out to reclaim what was Silken Sands. As he battles through corporate cronies, rogue affiliates, and the ghosts of his past, Tyson’s fight becomes more than just a power grab. It’s a quest to uncover what happened to those he left behind, to face down the friends who became strangers, and to piece together the wreckage of the life he thought he’d lost and accomplish that final goal that Afflqwst had set for him so long ago.
The end of BuyMort.
Singularity is a darkly satirical, action-packed sci-fi romp through a multiverse where freedom has a price tag, loyalty comes with hidden fees, and even your dog’s fate might be part of the fine print. Expect lots of ad crunch, a variety of contemporary situations, and a final quest to the heart of BuyMort itself!

Honestly probably more like 1.5 stars but I was hoping to finish out the series strong - maybe I became a more sophisticated reader, maybe I've grown apart from these types of books, or maybe this one just isn't very good at all.
This book is like walking through memory lane but all the memories smell REALLY bad. Throw in some casual weird hookup things the main character does and this just becomes really weird really fast and I should've stopped reading sooner.
There were "good" parts, when everything was a mystery it was interesting (the beginning) but then you realize there was nothing mysterious about it and that's just the way they're acting because "100 years" changed them so much. Sure, whatever, but that was the good stuff. I did not expect Storage to be grueling and boring, I feel like the first books were all action to set up political intrigue near the end, but the Storage storyline is literally just inserted action for no good reason. Wish I could finish this book but I got to 41% and said enough was enough....

First 1/4 - 4 stars. Rest - 2 stars.
Books 6 and 7 - writing is MUCH much better. While the shift in Tyson's personality matched the times, I couldn't help just be "bored." There was almost zero action in this book (besides the beginning) while prior books were full of it. Tyson also became a very self righteous a**hole. I believe intentionally, but written in a way that I'm not sure conveyed the nuance, so it sort of didn't land (IMO).
The final explorations to origin universes was interesting and different, but was just missing "something." The simplicity of ending it all was a let down. Would have preferred it do nothing, bc Buymort had evolved and it ends with them continuing their journey to understand how to remove it from the source. But alas...
Everything got too easy and matter of fact for Tyson. That was part of it. His invincibility didn't actually allow for conflict. A bit of Kvothe-syndrome, but turbo charged.
Glad I read the series, just not sure I could recommend it to anyone, particularly with how tough some of the early books are.

A good soft reboot and ending all in one.. except for one little detail: Molls being gone.
I LOVED TYSON AND MOLLS!! And to find out she dedicated her life to fighting to find the truth about Tyson, stopped when she found it, and (it's not made very clear) she settled down after and had kids.. MOLLS HAD KIDS AND TYSON NEVER WANTED TO MEET THEM?! THE KIDS NEVER WANTED TO MEET TYSON?!..
And yes, I know it's corny. Love usually doesn't have a happy ending, I get that.. but MAN!! AXEL survives to old age, Phillis is 20 now, and Terna is still kicking..
yet molls is forgotten about save for when it's convenient for Tyson to just think about her. It feels rushed, BUT besides all that, it's a good ending to Tyson and Buy-Mort

I didn't like the direction this went. the massive time jump lost all momentum of the series. it ended ok at least. 6.75/10

A fitting end for an epic saga.
A fitting end for an epic saga. Rare to see a series finish strong.
I will say the multi page ads from Buymort mid narrative got old and I found myself skipping past them, but I like to think that was intentional. A demonstration of how obnoxious life with Buymort in your brain would be.

Great ending to a wonderful series
Very satisfying ending. Really enjoyed entire series. Pretty crazy path Tyson takes on his way towards trying to take down Buymort. Also nice little dig at Bezos near end

4 because of the other books
He wrapped the book up in a depressing, slow boring way. First 6 amazing. This book seemed like he just gave up.

The more I think of this book, the more I want to knock off more stars to how unsatisfying it was. Most likely because Tyson was really a self-centered jerk who didn't truly care about other people if they weren't on his path to his goals.
Then the sheer naivety of shutting down the system. When thought of at a smaller scale, it's like being a American being wowed and in awe of all the knowledge and inventions made in Europe, Australia, etc...then wanting to make it so that all the continents excommunicate from each other and never interact because of predatory business practices Temu is making. That's truly the best option? He really didn't get a lot of intelligence from his implants with this being his only thought to a good solution. They literally found the core of the system, and it's code. And he has a whole bunch of multiverses worth of people who could analyze the thing and turn it into anything. Heck they could re-write the system and make it so the only thing it's concerned with is keeping the gates operational. No icon in the eye, no shopping network, no morties, nothing but a mindless machine doing maintenance work for example.
They've seen the remnants of universes made extinct through issues like sickness or disease. Could they have been saved had they been able to get help from another species in the network? Will any of the systems now cut off by Tyson's actions end up in this situation? Why should he care! There's no icon in his eye so why should that matter. All is well in his life.
I'm just going to believe this book never existed and keep my own version of the story in my head; because this was just saddening.

I liked the series and I know it can be hard to tie things up so given that little acceptance I'm still a bit disappointed here. I don't know if the time gap was really needed from the previous book as it only slightly gave reasons for the way the book finished.
The oddest thing for this final book was how long the BuyMort ads were, like, ridiculously long for not being that funny, absurd, or contributing much in the way of the book. It felt very out of place and just added filler to get a word count higher.
So things were a bit sad, this wasn't a happy feel good book and I'm actually happy with how Tyson developed in the story. It's still just a bit of a let down but I'm glad things were tidied up for the end of the series. Stars deducted for the way the story went with the time gap and the oddly long BuyMort ads that overshadowed the story needlessly.

An incredibly satisfying end to a book series I love
This book series has been a favorite of mine ever since I binged the first book. This last book is no different. I found myself stealing time to read a page or two. I couldn't get enough of it. I put off work and hobbies to finish it. It was worth it. The ending is so satisfying. I didn't think it was possible. The authors have crafted a world I love and a plot that makes me think.

Just finished Buymort. Overall, a good series. I think I would have enjoyed it more by reading it instead of listening to it. Great characters and world building. A novel system. Good action and dialog.
The narrator was over the top way too much, the ads were minutes long each, and the conversations between Tyson and Mols were paced abysmally slow, as narrated. As a story, I give it a 5. The performance, I give a 3.

a major struggle to finish and I would not have if it wasn’t the final book
The first 60% was incredibly slow with exhaustive descriptions of mundane objects: table tops, walls… the antagonist conflict was boring and then the last 40% jumped years and decades. I read a book in 1-2 days and this took 2 weeks of forced reading. The first 5 books were 4 star. Book 6 3 star given the ending. This one I’m gifting 2 stars.

4.5 stars. It's hard to wrap things up, and many a series has been soured by an unsatisfying conclusion. This one does a pretty good job, albeit I found the pacing inconsistent. A lot less action than earlier books, and a lot of compressed time in the latter parts of the book was a bit jarring. That's what loses it the .5 star, but overall it ends as well as one can expect.

That was a solid ending. My favorite book in the series. I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews and almost didn’t read it, glad I did. Less action/fighting than the other books but it made it better imo.
August 23, 2025
Tbh, the final book felt a bit rushed and anticlimactic all in one. It wasn't a bad ending, but it wasn't really that good either. I am giving it 4 stars since it ended instead of dragging it out, but it probably should only be 3 imho.

The end
Well done. The final curtain. Great series. I love the humor. Tyson Dawes, warlord. Thanks for the fun. Buy Mort.

Disappointing end to saga, with a lot of skips. For a long time it felt like author just wants to get it over with and finish all loose ends as fast as he can.

This-a very satisfying read
As the BuyMort saga comes to a close (closing time!) I am mentally reviewing all of Tyson Dawes’ adventures from the very beginning.
This is the second time that I read through Book 7. I have read the other six books four-fives times as a sort of ‘study’ wondering what our world would do, should a ‘BuyMort’ arrive. We now have fledgling quantum computers-and AI.
I would very much enjoy another BuyMort publication, perhaps entitled ‘Phyllis and Doofus’ Tales of BuyMort Before Closing’. Or something like that. Where we could review additional life stories-like Mr. Sada, Garthrust, Molls (in battle after Tyson died), Admiral Omen schemes, all the evil Church delves, and etc.
Although this may be too much to ask right now because you are working on five or six books at a time.
No worries-this has been a Fantastic journey.
