3.5* and time to explode
The author’s attitude toward women, and therefore his inability to write female characters is grating on me increasingly. Attitude example: “Most women want a man to lead them…”. Inability to write realistic female characters is shown by the fact that the MC’s mother, who was the wife of a Marine for several decades, falls apart completely after her husband dies of cancer, then just before the apocalypse begins, she has to be put into stasis because she can’t handle reality. Even after she gets inducted, and the apocalypse begins in earnest, she doesn’t want help save her planet or humanity, she just wants to cook for people. She lets her kids deal with the monsters, and just stays home. Yes, there might be some Marine wives or husbands who might have trouble dealing directly with monsters, but to me, this smacks of the author’s belief that women are less than men. Author also has the dying dad tell Silas (MC son) that he needs to be the man of the house now.
Cut to a meeting between Silas, the POTUS and other world leaders. Silas is present to exert his authority as the ruler of Earth appointed by the system, Cece and the rest of the Forerunners are present to back up that authority. Good place to keep one’s mouth shut right? Instead Cece decides to start teasing Silas as if he’s 10 and she’s 8. On top of that Asta, Silas’s Forerunner girlfriend, decides to make cracks about wanting him to have free time for her. Neither woman seems to understand how completely inappropriate they’re being. I’m not sure whether the author just thought he was throwing in some ‘humor,’ or if it’s his inability to see women as adults, but I think it’s telling that it’s never men making these errors and undercutting Silas’s authority at the worst moments. Guess the author forgot to have some man tell the women to shut up and follow . . .
And don’t get me started on the grammatical errors—no, Mr. Oswald, ‘drugged’ is not the past tense of ‘drag’—or the many typos in the book that demonstrate the author’s need of a competent editor and proofreader.
Then there’s the author’s fondness for having the characters get distracted by random thoughts while they’re fighting enemies who can kill them. You’re desperately attacking a monster and all of sudden you start ruminating on your relationship with the woman you want as your girlfriend, or thinking about unspent stat points and your future build, or even just worrying about your mom or little sister. I mean isn’t that a thing lots of soldiers talk about when they get home? Or maybe they don’t because anyone who got distracted like that got killed!
Sorry for the rant, I guess it’s been building up as this is the first review I’ve written for this series. With the exception of these issues, Oswald is not decent as a writer. There are some new twists and it’s good to have an MC who works to support community. I’m just not clear I can handle his attitude toward women nor his rather juvenile MC.

4.25 stars. I found this book to be somewhat less interesting in parts because of the references to other series that I haven't read. Overall, I felt that this was a filler novel, setting up books to come.

I wish I could give more stars
Honestly I could say that you are very biased. You have a wrong idea about the Middle East and South America and different countries. Moreover, I can put this to your own view of the world. However, I was attracted to your story because of the adventures and loot and fun stories. All of a sudden it turn to a hero complex and politics . Judgmental attitudes. Of course. Us is the wonder of the whole world .

Really enjoy these books and this series. Excellent narration. Good plotting and world building.

Not bad...
But not great. The usual things happen. Some unexpected things happen. However, the ending is abrupt, I never like that.

Errors & repetition don't particularly mar this outstanding adventure in escapism.
I blame any slight missteps on the speed at which all these authors seem to have to churn out the next book, & then the next book...
If the narrative is as interesting & imaginative (if not somewhat fanciful) as Silas Renner's arc is, all minor errors can easily be forgiven.
Maybe I'm too new to this genre, this being only the 2nd of this type of story I've read, but I feel this is an uncommonly well written tale of adventure & survival.
To me, at least, the originality is the biggest appeal. Start this from the very beginning of Silas' journey for the best immersion into this frighteningly interesting world. You won't regret it.

Amazing series continues
This series from Sean Oswald had me hooked from the first moment on. I read a lot of his work and this is one of my top three of his series.
In this book the stakes grow as the little planet Earth is catching the attention of many. There is great balance of character development and progress, lots of action and switching away from the main character gives great insights into the other secondary characters.
There are some interesting overlaps to two of his other series and a lot of puns and cameo references to several LitRPG series.
Well done and i hope the next one is not too far out

This series officially sucks. One of the stronger aspects of this weak series has been combat but thinks to the author needing to pull a plot device out of a hat EVERY SINGLE BIG FIGHT now, even that’s no longer enjoyable.
I’ve made my gripes with this series pretty clear on my other reviews, I won’t spend time rehashing them even though those issues persist. The contrivances are the worst aspect of this series. The payoffs aren’t results of investments in training, progression, and strategy, they are the result of the author stepping in and granting a boon of some kind. In this book, the author takes it down a notch, as the MC becomes a primordial or something fighting this alien fungus reaching levels two or three times his current power. And then the system takes all those gains back, so… whereas before all these plot contrivances usually ended with a new skill, ability, whatever and a title, this time the author Indian gives the ability… then of course grants a title. Seriously there’s two pages of titles now. Two pages!
This series is just lazy. I don’t understand the world building. Why this system needs to cull billions of humans isn’t made clear or logical. Why the system is in contested space, not its space, yet can limit what other systems do in that space makes no sense. Shouldn’t they be on equal footing in this regard?
Why does ambient mana only affect animals? Why doesn’t it affect plants anymore like it did with the razor grass in the first book? Why isn’t it affecting microbes? Why does it only seem to make animals bigger (hint because this is the limit of the author’s imagination)? Since the author has introduced genetics into this whole magic thing, how do these mana evolved creatures get all these new abilities like armored skin? That’s not how evolution works.
For that matter, the whole biome of earth would collapse without animals in niches. That’s why it always makes more sense in progression fantasy for dungeons to be the source of mana creatures.
Also, scanning electron microscopes don’t use “slides” or have “eyepieces”. Like maybe google one before describing one in your story genius. Not as bad as thinking Normandy is on the Mediterranean, that makes you too dumb to write a book in my opinion even if most of the population couldn’t find Normandy on a map either, but… those people also don’t write books.
This book the author further undermined his entire magic system. The MC has spent years, of dilated and real time, training to get to epic tier. He took probably the first four books of this series to get to rare tier. Yet Jiang’s soldiers go from common to high rare tier in TWO DAYS? It makes no sense, especially when the author says that most of the enemies are all uncommon and rare.
The system has abilities when the author needs it to and doesn’t when he doesn’t them to. It’s omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient one minute, limited and clueless the next. It’s a benevolent (if pragmatic) force another minute, then it’s mutating dogs to kill humans and allowing high tiered factions to threaten MC for “reasons” the next. For real, if the system is bent on MC becoming its champion, how does many incursions, genocide of the human race, and bullying of MC by high-tiered factions help that in any way whatsoever? Why are these factions even allowed to exist if the system is so powerful? Why does it need high tiered people at all? MC had a vision of a future being a slave to one of these factions, why would the system allow that if it needs him?
In a phrase, the whole story is sloppy as hell. Inconsistent, poorly thought out, and poorly executed.
This series sucks. That’s the bottom line. I really need to find something good to sink my teeth into. I think I’ve read all of or sampled pretty much all the big names in the genre, and found plenty of smaller names I really enjoy. But please comment your favorite series and help a guy out. I’m tired of the amateur garbage.

A good continuation of the series. The only problem I have is the same problem I had in the previous couple of books. Pacing. It is nonstop action. It can be a little too much at times. I like when there is a little more balance in the story. Highs and lows, good times and bad. If the stress level is insanely high and stays there it can be emotionally draining. The induction has started. They have 100 years in this period. There is a countdown and everything. What was confusing to me with the countdown is why it was needed when the events of this book took place over 5 days. Everything was critically important. There was no time to take a breath. As soon as one problem was solved, 8 more problems came up. While I like the series, this was a little draining at times and I wish things would slow down a little. Of note, this author is a huge fan of the genre and put references to other notable books in the genre. So far I have seen references to Primal Hunter, Randidly Ghosthound, Defiance of the Fall, The Two-Week Curse, and I am sure I missed a couple. Overall, I like the series and am looking forward to the next one.

The action is fun, but it seems like the author hasn't thought ahead and planned the story out. Abilities from past books don't get used (even when they could be a clever way to solve a problem) and new abilities just appear when he needs them to deal with a new threat. But I could get over that more easily than the way he writes the political aspect of the story. Instead of subtle maneuvers or complicated plots, everyone says exactly what they think and after he demonstrates force they agree and join his side. This is not how real humans interact when there's power on the line. Oh, and all these aliens are totally humans, not only in their psychology and cultures, but even in the food they eat. No creativity on that front at all.
So, I've stopped really paying attention to the plot twists or the world building or the politics and just enjoy the action--which might not be enough. I'm not sure I'll read any more in the series.

I’ve noticed that for me, the amount of humor is the most decisive factor in how much I enjoy a given part of this series. The style, the message, and the action are all in their place and enjoyable in every installment. Personally, I’ve always found the adventures more appealing than the political intrigues and the world-building, and fortunately in this part we once again find them in greater measure. The references to events and figures from our real world are very witty and refreshing, along with all the other humorous elements. My only criticism would be that nothing really feels at stake… This may sound strange, since on paper the fate of humanity and the lives of billions are at stake, but in reality I never feel that any of the main characters are in real danger at any point in the novel. There is no backstabbing, no intrigue, and the “gathering shadows” are at most problems for the future, but in the present they stir no waters at all.

Great story, desperately needs a proofread
This is a fun story, but it's a complete mess. The author contradicts himself consistently throughout the book. Essential priorities are ignored immediately after a while paragraph discussing that they are the only important thing to do, and plot points from previous books are totally dumped.
One of the most recent mistakes I noticed is that Singapore is not a she zone, even after the entire battle there making it the first a largest safe zone in earth, now the only safe zone is around silas' house.
Another is forerunner points. One of the most valuable commodities in a newly inducted world, (per the first few books) have been completely dumped. 1 point has been spent the entire series.
There are dozens of contradiction, forgotten advancement if abilities, dropped plot points... the author is writing too fast and needs to slow down, proofread, and edit his work. It's an awesome story, but it's teasing at the seams.

This book covers the first few days, maybe the first week or so of the induction period of earth. Silas has a lot of problems to solve and not enough time or resources to address everything. There are multiple incursions happening that he has to address and various other crises that come with being the leader of the world. Everyone wants his time and attention and he is working to build a team of people to support him.
My favorite part of this book is probably the dragons and wish there would’ve been a bit more of that but maybe in future books.
I am a bit confused by the fact that Silas is suddenly having these visions when he experiences his unmoored in time because that didn’t originally happen.
I noticed a lot more spelling and grammatical errors in this book than I have the previous ones although they have their fair share.
Overall, this is a very busy, action packed novel full of adventure. If you’ve made it this far in the series you might as well finish it.

incredibly fast paced. needs editing.
Story is progressing, a lot happens to everyone as the induction comes to earth. It almost feels like a bunch of random events got tossed at the MC to see what stuck, but it’s not a bad read.
Definitely needs to be edited again though, multiple times where the chronology of events is off. At one point the MC uses his reading power, gets an alert from the system about it, almost gets back lash, and recovers. Less than 2 pages later (but technically the next chapter) he thinks about using the same power on the same enemy as if he had not just done it… things like that happen a couple times, but that one is probably the worst offender.
End of the day, the story continues, and I would like to read what happens next.

What an exciting adventure!
Book 6 roars to life filled with pages of action and cool development for Silas - who is now balancing the incursions on top of everything else on his plate.
Plus, we get to see what is driving the greater multiverse towards earth - and what it means for him to have received several of his titles - and his new occupation.
Looking forward to more books in the series, this was a great breath of fresh air into it, giving a new goal for the next one to meet and hopefully exceed

Keep it Coming!
Another volume in the series and another thrill ride. We continue to see the threats Silas faces escalate beyond his abilities and see him rise to the fight to match them. But every decision has consequences. If he chooses to engage threat A, threat B grows unchecked.
The character growth continues rapidly as side characters are fleshed out and more of the multiverse is unveiled.
This series continues to delight and thrill. I can't recommend it highly enough!

4.5 stars. In a period where I'm having a hard time finding stuff I really want to read, this one stood out. The way to tell if you're into a book is if you have a hard time putting it down and want to read it as quickly as possible.
This fits that criteria for me, as it held my attention throughout. Is it the greatest thing ever written? Definitely not, but it was a right sort of book in a pretty dry period for good books, so it gets a 5. This may have scored a bit lower in a glut of good reading, but right now it gets rounded up.

I enjoyed the book, but this felt like it was meant to be the first half of a book and not a whole book on its own. Even in an ongoing series, I look for each book to have a beginning middle and end, but this one felt like it only had a beginning and middle. I would have liked the plot to feel like it was building towards something and have a climatic ending, but that's not what you get. It's a day in the life of a guy trying to put out fires all over the place. So there's a bunch of action and excitement, it's just isn't leading to anything specific.

A bit short on plot
This book feels like very much like an addendum top the previous. While it continues to show the characters and world I of the story, it doesn't advance the plot as much as I think it should.
The previous book set up for a let of potential stories and only one is partially paid off in this book. Instead, the majority of the threads are simply teased further. It feels a bit unnecessary.
That being said, the payoffs in the next book may easily be worth it. Luckily that book is already out, so I can get right to finding out.

wish I started this series earlier
Had I started reading this series when I became a Patreon supporter of this author and the book came out as is, I would probably be rating it as a three star book due to continuity errors. There have been a few points called out in earlier books as how things would work in the future, particularly how legendary ranks can no longer do something, and some ability changes that appear to have been flat out ignored. Main reason for 4 stars is that I could see me giving this 5 stars if a valid reason for the discontinuity was given via Patreon.

The stakes continue to rise!
As if the new induction wasn’t enough to handle, Silas and co get handed even more fun in the form of paid invasions and interest from other parties that might not be good for his health!

More mistakes in grammar than usual but exciting
You get to see more of others in this work than in previous books in my opinion. It was a nice that secondary characters got some development. A lot of ground is covered in the book. Progression here is somewhat unexpected. But it cranked up the excitement a bit. Thoroughly enjoyed the book overall. For fans of other series you might notice some in jokes. Enjoy!

It's good
If you like the previous books in this series, you're really going to enjoy this one. The plot moves forward. Plenty of personal growth. Excellent use of Powers. Great fight scenes. Great battles nicely sets things up for the next book. Doesn't leave it on a cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next book. I apologize for any spelling errors reminding us reviews voice to text

I am completely invested in this story!
As Earth passes induction and the incursions begin, we will see what Silas and his allies and friends can do to protect all of Earths citizens.
Things are about to go from bucket deep to an ocean’s depth for our hero Silas as the word gets out on his unique genetics and he learns that some big families will soon approach him but lucky for him he can push that off on future Silas. Right?

Hmm. All these females. . .Asta may be the least of his worries.
Yet, they seem to all have one thing in common: they view Silas as someone of value who can benefit them. Things are about to get more interesting.
The storyline remains really good-- I'm a bit exasperated by the overlong, internal monologue Silas constantly has within his head. That and Asta aside, I'm enjoying the journey. Four point five stars🌟🌟🌟🌟✴

This book had some really great moments of tension and conflict as basically all the forces of the multiverse battle for control over Sylas and his world. Sylas is forced to learn to deal with forces that are not just physical but also political and spiritual as well, and it is a big stretch for him. And while the epic stakes and universe-ending threats make this an exciting read, its the relationships Sylas has with his friends and family that really keep the story grounded.

Also all the little jokes about other books in this Genre are hilarious keep up the great work!

Complex!
I like the complexity of this story! The system? There's four of them! Incursions, they aren't all bad. Some may even be very helpful. With great characters that keep expanding their roles and a story that continues to evolve each book becomes more intriguing! Can't wait for more!

New adventures
I like the way the story is going so far for Solis. Hopefully in the future, the author can give us more stories of his family and other members of his party. I really hope that the MC‘s girlfriend does not die. It looks like the author is setting up that to happen. So far the story is very good and cannot wait for the next installment.

Best book of the series so far! I found this one much more interesting and enjoyable. Dealing with the system integration and trying to mitigate everything keeps the situations different and fun. Combat isn't really the best in this series so less of that is more. I think the series is just getting into the good stuff. Book 7 looks to be very promising.
