Next in a fun and exciting isakei series
Nate is crazy and crazy powerful, he’s done a lot and is taking applications for teachers, lol. The bestest corgi still kicking butt along Nate and the rest of the group o level 6. Was a little dry in the beginning, but quickly got better. I’ve really enjoyed this series so far.

one of my favorite series
Loving this series: the progression, universe building, characters, humor, even the writing (I know! Litrpg writing quality is optional). Try this series!

Onwards and upwards the lvls go!
Another excellent addition. There are a few very thought provoking lore drops here too! Some may be off put by the "slow" pase of the story overall but i love that we are taking our time with the story and tutorial! Definitely looking forward to the next book.

Fantastic!!
Originally I wasn't the biggest fan of Nat but he really grows on you, and by book 5 you're really hoping he takes it all. Can't wait to see what happens next and that we are getting closer and closer.

Holy editing I don't know if it's me, but the editing is off. It's honestly hard to visualise the pace at which events occur in the book, and that might just be me, but it often feels like the moment to moment descriptions are cut short.
On the theme of editing, the fight scenes are cool, but at times you're given the direction or setting of the fight as the fight happens. For example, Nat could be against an enemy, and given that Nat punches said enemy, the action is described in a way where you're told how and where the enemy was punched, but only after that are you told it was inside a house or in a field. The actions feel staggered, and often it feels like the fight scenes are buffering as you read.
It's still a good entry and I enjoy how the system is integrated into the setting and how it's being evolved but this could be better.

Better and better
I truly enjoy the variety of personnae in this story.
The system is exactly what we expect it to be - an AH.
The mc is suitably odd, while seemingly open to this whole situation.
The side characters are enjoyable.
I like the way the story flows, with minimal flashbacks, and not too much crunchiness.
I have found that Lissandra is potentially going to play a bigger part, but that may be my wishful thinking.
This is a great series with much to offer.

Should rename this as hot sociopathic monster continues to bribe his so called friends into working for him as he continues to abuse himself out of sheer pride in his training.
But anyway, it's STILL a fun LitRPG and I am still getting a kick out of all the training and skill-ups and occasional utter trouncing of local monsters and kings. After all, the only true way to get through hell difficulty is by massively overpowering your skills, you know.
Fun. :)

This fifth volume perhaps has more pacing issues than the previous ones, and there's a sense that the development of Nat's powers (particularly his crafting abilities) has stalled.
The book also suffers somewhat from being compared to the previous volume, which was the best in the series so far.
But overall, it remains an excellent series and a great read.

Fine but a weaker book in the series. Almost no character development for anybody. Overall plot doesn't move forward. Still absolutely nails the voice of the protagonist.
Numbers do go up, if that is what you are looking for.

love it
As always, a fantastic and enjoyable read. A good mix of whimsy and seriousness as the group for earth paves the way for Hell Difficulty’s best doggo to take his rightful place.

Great story
This book series is a bit of a slow burn, a lot happened in this book but also not enough. I feel like the scope of power in this world keeps expanding and I'm excited for Nat to start really progressing along that curve.

Most litrpg gets increasingly convoluted and boring by book 5
This is one of those exceedingly rare ones that keeps improving, coming up with new ideas, and referencing the past books as injokes

great
Another great read. This had been a great series so far, it's had some good laughs and compelling story. The authors writing has also gotten better in each book looking forward to see what crazy stunt nat does next.

Really don't know where this series is going. It's like the tutorial will never finish.
Will pick up the sequel.
I love how the protag always gets even in the end, even when the people that wronged him forgot.
3/5 Stars

Really great series. So many other ones just go on forever just for page count but I almost never skip through sections like I do for other long series.

I really like that book
The characters are some of my favorite and the development is very well done. Some excellent views of not Neuro typical characters. A great story overall

Biscuit the overlord
We all pray to the overlord biscuit that when he takes over the world he may be benevolent to the people that showed him favor before his ascension.
