Wild Era #2
Wild Era 2
The Lord of Wildfire has been reborn, but the Wild Era is full of dangers and his strength needs to rise.
He has already disrupted the plans of Baron Verasun and the Sarathian Empire, creating enemies both near and far, while the old enemies who killed him in first life are still out there.
His rise is meteoric, but the Path of Stars is ignoring him, so he has to forge his own path to power. With the Stars Alliance and his old knowledge on his side, he sets his sight on the things that can help him the the Chaos Remnants.
These mystical dungeons cover the world, full of experience, artifacts, and other rewards that can shape his life and grant him steady progress. Only by conquering them will his Evolutions be smooth.
His immediate goals mix with the need to look after his two young apprentices, Yao and Naomi, and help them unlock their own classes.
Fortunately, he's good at all of it.

It started interesting, following the formula of the last saga, but halfway through it went south, from nowhere the mc became best friends with a bunch of nobody from book 1 that he barely could say he knew, it was forced then and it's worse now, half the book is him leveling them, for what? Filler, because unless there's the hand of gods those guys won't go far in the story, they are irrelevant now when they are at the same rank and can't even walk without the mc holding their hands... That killed the story, any semblance of plot died and all that was left was the party being forced leveled. And then the all powerful System decided to give an important quest to them, forcing them to continue in the story. Battles become something that you have to skip parts because it's almost a transcription of a DND combat, everybody has to participate and what should end in a paragraph takes pages and it's always the same, the party try to attack, does nothing, almost die and the mc that was just watching and healing them step up and kill the enemies... Next book is my last chance to this saga, if the author insists on forcing this annoying party I'll just quit the series, they together have 2 neurons, zero personally and it's just something to delay the main character and the plot progression.

A great sequel, continued world building
The world building continues but the character growth is the best part. Reading these books and realized that it is a continuation of the asteroid falls series. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Things are percolating now!
Things continue, and we get a glimpse into where the character might be headed. It's all very exciting. And of course, we get to see that slice of comeuppance.
Can't wait for next November for book 3 to be released.

Boring read.
There’s nothing to read actually.
Majority of the pages are about the MC spending his lone time inside dungeons with heavy monologues/introspections about character progression stuff which is ‘Boring!’

The book started rather dull but tolerable with the protagonist questing and maximising his skills again but went downhill when he all of a sudden, for no reason, decided to quest with the woefully under leveled bland adventurers from book 1 and power level them. After having the MC hold their hands for a good part of the book, the group was given a god quest that will presumably force them on the reader in the next book as well.
I was no fan of the intimacy of the god like protector of the galaxy with the MC. It felt very cheesy to me.
Now and then the MC remembered his two wards to shower them with undeserved gifts. Unfortunately, they only felt like ballast by now.

oh-rah
Good thing the Adventurer’s Guild is nigh incorruptible with its connection to an ascended god, also interesting that it’s the army reserve, and all the little people gaining levels are actually training to fight invaders.
Competence fetish unlocked, as an ancient archmage in a 20 year old body meets challenges, trains allies and helps apprentices while unraveling plots and schemes in his spare time.
If knowledge is the core of any mage class, then being able to transfer knowledge means you can power level, if you find yourself, say, reincarnated to Level 1. Don’t know if there are novels where a warrior or other physical class character reincarnates and can use her mastery of weapons to great effect.

The author's insistence at not using swear words is strained. He simply says "he swore under his breath" which is fine, but hearing/reading the swear brings a level of weight to the words that otherwise fall flat. Without swearing directly, the situation is diminished as a consequence. I won't knock off a star for that though. It's clearly a preference.
The MC's refusal to kill changed in this book as he took more drastic measures, but the qualification didn't seem to match it. It felt forced, when other instances of retribution were required but not taken. It feels unbalanced. Previously, something serious happens that deserves death but the MC doesn't deliver it. Then suddenly, something minor happens and it deserves more deaths than anything previously combined? As I said, it's completely unbalanced and feels forced. The author is not good at this.
The author is also shit at romance, but props for trying, I guess?
Minor thing but it seems the series is focused heavily on the undead, which I do not appreciate. Very sad. I hope there's more diversity in future books, despite the... thing that I will not spoil.
Ah, but his worldbuilding is incredible!

I like the story premise and the writing in general, but the author has the protagonist giving away loot and money like candy or water. It is bloody irritating!
It makes it nearly impossible to suspend disbelief.
I'm an American, and we don't believe in blind altruism or Mother Theresa like characters any more than we believe in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.
ADDENDUM: I can't read this anymore.
I just reached the point in the book (about half way through) where the protagonist gets to meet a deity. Said deity offers his help...essentially "a wish". The character's first thought is "can I give the wish away to some kids that I know?"
This is obscene. It is not rational. And it certainly does not reflect normal human behavior.
Was "The Protagonist" dropped on his head as an infant???
I liked the book, but reading about character actions that are this insane hurts my soul.
I will not make myself suffer by reading another page of this. I will be avoiding books by this author like the plague in the future.
Needless to say, I will be changing my original rating of this work... *sigh*

Fun and Fast!
This book was a much faster read than the first one. It is nice to see the progress of leveling is faster than the original series, which is the point I believe.
Some fantastic cameos in this book that I didn't think the author would do! Very happy surprise!!
You are still just getting little tastes of how the galaxy came to be in the situation it currently finds itself and I would love to have the author write the in-between book that links the two series. It is interesting to see that our character is being set up to have an archnemesis that isn't just one person but an entire galaxy or species. A new way of doing things I think.
I hope there will be more interaction with the kids as otherwise their characters at this point almost seem pointless; maybe they are used a potential catalyst to keep him moving forward? Not sure what is happening.
Have fun!!

Reads Like a Text Book
The positives in my opinion are;
Really good story lines, likable MC, and good supporting characters.
The negatives for me are;
There is a huge amount of fluff. The author repeats lines and past information often, along with the MC's self reflection, and feelings.
The dungeon crawl takes forever!
Then there's the text book like information, including percentages of skill increases, very detailed descriptions on how magic works, and very detailed descriptions of how he does experiments.
If a reader likes learning how this author thinks certain aspects of magic work in great detail, this book is for you. Unfortunately I just like a good read. I skimmed a large amount of this series.

excellent story, fast paced. No slow spots.
This is a good continuation of the original series. The only issue I have is personally I do not like kids in these books. The only other issue I have is the economy of scale eight or 9000 gold to buy items or spells, ECT. In other books you could buy kingdoms with that kind of money, I think things in this book are too expensive. I enjoyed the MC very practical and of course he’s a reincarnated and some of his pragmatism has come through now that with father into the story. Enjoy the side characters as well except for the two kids, but that’s just me. read this series and if you haven’t read the previous one read that as well. going on to the next book in the series

A good instalment in the series
This is a well written series. However, I found that this instalment could have done with a bit more danger and stakes for the main character. Throughout most of the book he seems fairly bored. He seems to grow without much worry or challenge. I understand that it is part of his character, but a little more feeling of danger would help to make it more exciting to read. That being said, it’s clear that this is intended to be a long development series, so it is likely that the greater challenges lie ahead. All said and done, a well written book which added some interesting elements to the MC and supporting characters.

great read
This was a very solid book 2. Took almost too much time fighting on the dungeon but by the end we get some solid world building, and we get some great tie ins from the sovereign of silver which is the parent series of this off shoot. It was nice to get some info on some of our favorite characters. Looking forward to book 3

Tedious
I enjoyed the first book but book two is all about Kalin and his "wild fire" and his amazing crafting abilities , I couldn't get half way before I wanted him to just be quiet about how great and powerful he'd been. The subplots in book one were quite good but they hardly got mentioned in the first half of book two.

Good continuation
I enjoyed it as much as the first book. Its well written and keeps you engaged. My only complaint is the same as the first book and most books in this genre. The numbers have no meaning if the author continually uses plot devices and dues ex.

Truly an Upward Spiraling Story Arc
Highly enjoyable story telling, with a well laid out & paced story arc. The LitRPG elements are Goldilocks as far as I am concerned. Very much looking forward to seeing more of David North’s work.

Great second book!
I’m terrible at writing reviews. I can just say that this series hits my like points. I DO like the ability to gather levels and gold’s easily. I enjoy good friendships. And I love good caring people. This book has it all.

Enjoyed this book
The series keeps getting better and better. There are a lot of unique ideas in this series, including reincarnation. I like how it is being handled and the idea of laws. That is common, but this series has a twist in how it is handled.

A Fan :)
I've been a fan of Mister North for awhile when Guardian of Astor Fall went from battlefield reclaimer to a story about Titans. So I'm enjoying the wild era so far and would recommend not only this series but Sam's story as well. Enjoy.

North-sensei never writes something he throws away, and that includes even in his previous books.
Honestly I was going to give the book 4 stars but the epilogue makes it an easy 5. I’m a sucker for a callback.

David is an amazing story teller. I loved Aster Fall and this new addition to the world is just another excuse to delve back into that world again. Highly recommended

A really fun story.
I’m really enjoying this series. I looking forward to the next book. The plot is evolving. The MC is interesting and fun to observe. The other characters move the story along and have depth. There is plenty of action as well.
