It was enjoyable but seemed to be coasting along to introduce the new story arc at the end.

Fascinating world building, intricate plot lines and characters. Lots of twists and turns. Let's make lots of friends and allies.

The well written grand story line continues. The author has avoided the Litrpg genre pitfall of repeating the stat sheet way to many time. But he is straying into another pitfall. The size of the stat sheet and the size of the numbers are now nearly mind numbing and loosing their meaning and therefore their relevance. IE the relevance and meaning shouldn't be so complicated that Excel would be a better tool to understand it. If it were possible I'd give 4.5 stars.

Amazing Follow up
This series just grows so well that it has become a must have in my collection. Silas has grown in leaps and bounds but the multiverse is even more with so much to explore and the hidden threats making a brilliant engaging read.

Easily the best book in the series so far. I had pretty much given up hope on it, but was determined to finish it since it’s free on KU. I’m glad I did. The author cleaned up a lot of what I dislike about the other books, and happened to focus on aspects I do like. I’m now interested to see where this series goes.
First things first, this book lacks a book-long story arc. That’s pretty much par for the course for the writer. He’s telling a large overarching story, and within in it many other stories that each usually take more than one book, and within those he tells shorter stories within each book. It’s not my favorite method in this genre, but it’s done well enough to keep me engaged as a reader. This book is no different, we have the widest story of what’s going on with systems and primordials and whatnot, then we have the wide stories of the Earth’s induction and probationary period with all its incursions and complicated juggling of politics, combat, alliances, research, logistics and even romance. Then we have the snapshot stories of closing an incursion and a special dungeon delve slash date to a multiverse elite market shopping trip with one of the MC’s suitors.
The incursion was basically the same thing the author had been doing in every book to this point. Despite the MC taking a supervisory role to allow his allies and people to level and close it themselves in a large, organized set piece battle, of course the author feels the need to add a special situation at the end that the MC can only address thanks to a plot device, I mean special ability he comes up with in the moment. Ugh. This trend is OLD. It’s why I took a star from an otherwise stellar outing for this author. That and a rather glaring plot hole, but I’ll get to that.
What I enjoy most about this series is something a lot of readers likely disdain, and that is the politics. I appreciate the author’s character warring with pragmatism in light of their new reality. I especially appreciate his new primordial path of being a trailblazer, a pathfinder. Part of that path is standing up to the cruel and cold pragmatism of the system’s inhabitants as reflected so well by his non-Terran allies and influences. No, they can’t have everything they lost to this new reality, but they don’t have to lose everything either. I think that’s a great theme for this series. A keel with which to build the character of the MC.
And it’s this better forging of a three-dimensional Silas from the flat MC of the earlier novels that has finally got me rooting for the guy. It took a long time, but we got there. I actually like some of these characters now. I am especially drawn to the characters of Selena and Lana as scions of competing peak families in the system, both vying for influence and maybe marriage with Silas.
I also found the “date” he went on with Lana to the Bizarre Bazaar to be a blast, a place between universes without systems, catering to the most wealthy and powerful with all of its fancy shops and seedy stalls and innumerable species. Shopping is a fun indulgence in this genre. There’s a lot of payoffs exploring items and picking ones for our MC. I only wish we’d done a little more browsing, but that’s just my personal preferences speaking. I also thought the unique instance dungeon they delved together was a lot of fun. Definitely bizarre and also rewarding both in loot, progression and character/story development. Very well done. This is the author at his best as I’ve seen him. Even the handholding between the two was cute.
Of course for Silas to shed his boring MC persona, he has to rid himself of his equally flat and boring girlfriend of the last book or two. That’s done. Good riddance. I know some people probably ship those to, but honestly why? My man’s got a world to save, multiversal princesses to “explore”, he ain’t got time for some robotic weirdo who experiments on him while he’s passed out.
Now, normally I’d come down hard on the borderline cliffhanger at the end of the book. But, it’s an only a vision of a “possible” future. One where not only the MC saw it, but so did many of his new allies. Two of which were Selena and Lana, two of the women courting him and who he’s forging or has forged some alliances with. Why those two are important is that they were sent to Silas with a mission: gain his support and do not fail. Before, there wasn’t really a path for both to become allies as they have these larger obligations to their respective families’ expectations that they are powerless to contest. Now, having seen this possible future, they have good reason to BOTH stand alongside Silas and blaze a new trail… together. So, well done author.
Okay so now to my gripes, I really only have the first I mentioned earlier, the leaning on plot devices, I mean brand new abilities or brand new uses of abilities, to end every major combat scene in these novels. The second is what seems to me a glaring plot hole. That is that on two earlier occasions, when using his skill (or being used by it) Outside of Time, Silas had visions of possible futures. The last of these had five descriptions of five possible futures. In three the earth is destroyed, two by forces appearing to be from some of the other spurned suitors I have yet to mention. In one, he’s even made a slave to Lilly, one of those suitors, the primordial-cursed vampire goth chick. And here in those futures is where there’s a contradiction. Because earlier in the book, after speaking with Lilly, a perspective from her after that discussion with Silas showed her and her family being threatened by the system with regard to treading very carefully with how they deal with Silas. This is assumably because of the system’s intent to groom him as some leader of its elite forces for whatever it is the system needs him for, part of that widest plot I mentioned. And one of the two other futures explored seemed to show exactly that outcome. BUT if the system is protecting him, how is it that his home world is destroyed in possible futures? How is it that the very person, Lilly, that the system threatened turns Silas into her slave? Seems like a very large plot hole. And even if we explain it away with what seems to be Lilly and the other faction’s later flirtations with the Hell system, hinting at an upcoming wide plot or even minor plot, it still doesn’t explain why the system doesn’t intervene. Even if we assume it cannot directly, if say these suitors come to follow another system, it doesn’t mean the system can’t send peak powers to eradicate their threat to the system’s prized bull.
Now of course those plot holes will never come to fruition as good guys win in this genre, so the last future is the one that will play out. And the author is using these plot holes futures to help shape the decision making for how Silas is navigating these interested parties for future allies and enemies
So that is also why I am giving it four stars, instead of five. More so for the plot device usage though. Even in some of the series in my top of the genre list on my profile have plot holes. These are huge stories with wide reaches, and some issues are bound to occur. Of course, my absolute favorite series don’t have these issues. But that’s what makes them the best.
Final minor gripes, lots of typos in this book. Not nearly as many as the last book, but more in these two books than the rest of the series combined. Also, 1000x isn’t 1000%. Your editor needs an editor. He doesn’t know how to use commas. If you wrote this stuff on Patreon, you could have your fans pay you for the privilege of doing this for you, just a thought. They also are really helpful pointing out plot holes, contradictions, and jacked up stat sheets.
And is “Jay” Janus, the Roman god with two faces, one seeing the past and one the future? He’s the god of beginnings, transitions (trailblazer), and endings? If so, that’s not that clever with the name lol. Maybe name him Anus, that’d have everyone confused haha.
All in all, very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to see where it goes.

Now that I have finished Invasion, the seventh book in Sean Oswald’s Welcome to the Multiverse series, I can honestly say I am deeply disappointed. This book, like several before it, is filled with disturbing racial undertones that continue to go unaddressed. It reinforces harmful tropes and selectively centers white-coded characters while ignoring or undermining characters of color, particularly Black ones.
The Ethiopian Forerunner is a clear example. She is one of the few powerful Black characters in the story. Throughout the book, she pleads for help for her people who are suffering during an existential crisis. Her pleas are consistently ignored by Silas and his inner circle. When they do respond, it is only to offer excuses and dismiss her concerns. This lack of urgency stands in stark contrast to the way Silas immediately intervenes when other, mostly white-coded, regions are in trouble.
Earlier in the series, Silas enslaves a Black woman senator who had kidnapped his mother. There is no real moral exploration of this act. No effort is made to understand the senator’s motivations or the weight of re-enslaving a Black woman in any context. The narrative treats the decision as justified and then moves on, as if it were a small moment with no long-term implications.
This book also features a conflict with challengers to his rule a group of Africansconfronts Silas. He kills every one of them. Before, describes them as fearful, impulsive, and irrational. He writes off their feelings for liberation as chaos, while his violent actions are depicted as necessary for order. This portrayal is disturbing and reeks of colonial justification. The contrast between the noble, rational white protagonist and the chaotic Black resistance is hard to ignore.
Even when the book touches on global suffering, the disparity is obvious. The author specifically states that African countries and Australia are hit hardest by the magical evolution of dangerous wildlife. But only Australia receives help. Silas travels there to assist, while Africa is once again left to suffer without resolution. African hardship becomes a background prop to raise stakes, not a priority that deserves care.
What should have been an inclusive sci-fi adventure instead turns into a story that marginalizes, silences, or dehumanizes Black characters. This is not just about one scene. It is a pattern. It is a worldview being reinforced over the course of multiple books, and it does not sit right.
There is no excuse for a multiverse this large to be so small in its empathy.
Sean Oswald, we are paying attention. And we will not forget.

I am confused how to feel about this book
The book started strong with our hero fighting for earth. Then the harem begins. I don't believe this author knows how to write books without one. The main character is resisting the idea of a harem at every step.
This book has started to integrate other book series by the author and frankly if you haven't read the other series, it is confusing and not an enjoyable read as you won't understand what is truly happening.
Like with all of the author's other books, there are enough spelling and grammatical mistakes to keep pulling you out of the story to figure out what is trying to be said. I would hope the author had friends who are nice enough to point out the mistakes before publishing.
Not sure if I will continue this series; at least not before I have read all the others that are now part of this one.
Good luck!!

I am really enjoying this series. The only real issue I have is the pacing. Sylas and the earth are in their probationary period and have 100 years to be fulling integrated into the system. 100 years seems like a decent amount of time. In the grand scheme of things, it is a very short amount of time with the new life spans. Why then is everything feel so rushed. 3 days after the integration he is visited by representatives of the great houses. They were not happy he waited so long to contact them. WTF? It was 3 days, and he spent almost the whole time with the integration. There is the concept of feeling rushed and then there is what is happening to Sylas. The system wants people to grow strong and advance so there does need to be challenge but everything takes time. Even Sylas spent years in time distortions to get where he is. By the 3/4 point in the story, it had still only been 2 weeks since the integration. I am not sure why it needed to be that fast paced.
Overall though, that is a minor gripe. It does seem like at the end of the book; there will be a transition to a broader universe. Not just Sylas and earth. I like the characters, I like that magic system, I like the world building. If it was paced just a little bit slower, I would call it great.

Silas continues to be all over the place in this book trying to put out the fires of earth's induction into the multiverse. But he soon realizes he has to let his fellow earthlings do some of the work or they will never be strong enough to survive in the multiverse. Silas deligates a bit more in this book which is not a bad thing and he does get to spend some time doing his beloved crafting. He has to face some challengers to his position as ruler of the earth and all the while he is dealing with multiple peak families sending their daughters to court him and win his favor. Some are more coersive than others. This seems to be going the route of a harem but maybe the author will surprise us.
There were a few inconsistencies in the story, for example in one scene Urg was sent back to his plane of existence only to be there in the next scene and things like that. The story is also starting to feel a little busy with all of the different plot lines running and it seems like the author is having some difficulty keeping track of this as things just seem to be forgotten about.
Overall, this is an enjoyable read with a lot of action and adventure. The romance is a lot more prevalent in this novel than it has been in prior books in the series and the love interests have shifted.

Amazing and epic
I've read a lot of litrpg books and this series has become a favorite of mine. This one without spoiling anything is, in my opinion one of the best of the series.
I won't lie and say that there aren't some issues with the series as a whole, some seemingly forgotten plot lines, typos, or grammatical mistakes, but it's a price to be paid with all litrpg that has a smaller editing process. The author even has a tendency to call himself out about it through the narrative which is always funny. There may be some tone or story shifts in this that some readers may not like, particular tropes or genres blending in that I know some find divisive, but honestly I find it's really really well done and self-aware and I honestly love it.
This book does a great job of ramping up the stakes while simultaneously continuing to do more detailed world and character building. Honestly I cannot wait for the next one and will be reading it on day 1 of its release!

A fun surprise
This book returns the series to it's strengths. The ethical dilemmas of the system and the position of a forerunner are explored and choices are made and remade. The action remains good as well as serving a interesting world building.
Personally, I wasn't a fan of the way the romance was handled near the beginning of the book. It was incongruous with the previous behavior of the characters and the timelines were very unclear. However, the romantic plot line that develops is interesting and creates lots of cool events and scenes.
Similarly, the setup for the surprise is a little clunky, but leads somewhere very cool. I'm looking forward to the continuation of that in the next book.
Overall, it's a very fun return to form.

Excitingly Fun Read
The first book caught me with Silas in his human form facing an impossible choice. There is humor, adventure, and a new universe building of self, new friends, and family. At book 7, it was an intermission or a pause of breath, while more secrets were brought to light and more allies joined for an uncertain future. With the eye opening ending, the destruction of not only Earth but a multiverse in danger of ending. I have to wait a few months for what I hope to be the final book, but it's worth the wait. Who will step up and stand by Silas's side. Who will fall and what will become of Silas and his group?

Too much hand holding and savior complex going on. MC spends too much time in the weeds and his progression suffers. The MC feels extra dumb in this book. How many times do we need to hear the discussion about "you can't save everyone" and "helping them now will hurt their growth and cause problems later". Is the MC is just so dumb that he needs to be told that a thousand times across multiple books.
MC is starting to get annoying. He talks too much. He has to give his often pointless and sometimes stupid opinion about everything.
All the interactions with women and courting is exhausting and repetitive. MC's aversion to sleep with women is unrealistic and he has constant weak excuses.
The anti slavery nonsense is extremely cringe. Let's see, "I'll kill you before I'll make you a temporary slave that I'll treat extremely well", yeah that makes perfect sense.
MC is starting to get annoying. He talks too much. He has to give his often pointless and sometimes stupid opinion about everything.

I like the main character less with each book, but his love triangle in this book is annoying. either he's in a relationship or he's not. I hate when someone isn't true to their relationship. I didn't get enough of a feeling that Silas's relationship wasn't good. The only thing that happened was another cute girl shows up. Jumping ship for no real reason shows lack of character. Did I miss a huge break up or fight? The only issue Silas and Asta had was resolved with a five minute conversation. He should be an actual hero and be true.

I really liked this series. The first 6 books were great and had light romance. This one thrusts the MC head first down the path of getting a harem. If the series started that way, that would be fine. but I’m frustrated I’ve become this invested just for it to switch focus from saving the world to multiple powerful woman wanting the MC for his “genetics” and special skills. If you enjoy that sort of thing, don’t let me review deter you. The negative review is mainly for the hard focus change from something I enjoy to something I don’t.

Least favourite of the series so far.
Feels like the Author decided to go the Harem route at the end of the last route and this book is all about "getting his seed".
If you have a gf you don't "court" someone else regardless of anything. And conveniently when he's starting to "like these girls" (and it does feel like he likes all three) his gf pretty much gives him the pass to do whatever he wants by "sort of breaking up with him". Definitely out of character and definitely just the Author wanting a harem.

This book abruptly discards a chunk of the earlier series to become a crossover with all the author's favorite characters from other books that I have not read and do not plan to read. Further, the main character is clearly no longer even pretending to be a Gen Z college student, and is now just fully the author's avatar as we seem to move toward a harem fantasy.
Parts of it were entertaining.
The continuity and copyediting continues to be annoyingly substandard - as if a lot of work was done but the job wasn't finished properly.
It's always sad to say "I've enjoyed all I can stand."

I’ve enjoyed this series but this was my least favorite. The romance drama and political side seemed so uninteresting and lacked serious action compared to others. Book six was so good and then this one felt like a trudge. The ending was bonkers at least. My biggest criticism of the series continue to be the serious amount of grammatical errors and typos. Hopefully the fixes I annotate in the kindle are looked at because it’s tough.

Things are getting serious now
Yeh, now that our favorite MC is in a slightly more stable place, at least as the governing head of the Earth. While I enjoyed the book, where it ended made me realize that this entry in the series was just really setting things up for the next phase of the story.

Another Great Entry
Enjoyed the continuation of Silas’ story. If I had one critique it’s how much of a man child Silas is about the romantic side of things which play a somewhat large role in this book. That said, things move quickly throughout the book and I am enjoying seeing how earth’s future continues to unfold.

Beyond Earth
We’ve spent the last 6 books learning what Silas is fighting for. Now we learn who he’s fighting against and who he’s fighting with and suddenly this big fish is in a much bigger pond. Love being swept up in the author’s imagination and hope this one day becomes an animated series.

Still the superior option for fans of this genre
However, I've started to notice that AI spell checking has been used. Don't go there. It's inaccurate & misinterprets context, spoiling the narrative.
This is an excellent & entertaining series. Superior in all aspects to any other I've read recently. No fan of this type of literature should miss this series.

A wonderful expansion of the multiverse
This book makes big steps towards really showing us more of the wider multiverse and generating conflict on an appropriate scale. I really do think this series could use a solid once-over by an editor though because I keep getting pulled out of the story by small spelling or grammatical errors

this series is better than ever!
I can never get enough of this series, such a relatable Main character, fun potential romances, and all the side characters are unique, and have their own interesting personalities. Can’t wait to see how earth will fit into the wider multiverse!

Fun series, with a great crossover twist
This is such a fun series. I was hooked by the killer squirrel and it just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see how it all plays out and what other series get pulled in for cameos!

Very good read
I enjoyed reading this book very much and I recommend this book to anyone who likes LitRPG and progression type of books with lots of action and an apocalypse type of theme.

Great Addition
Another great addition to the series that keeps up the action. No fluff here!!!
I saw a few editing errors, so another editing cycle and it would by gtg.
Can’t wait for the next!

Great as always.
Not quite as good as previous books in the series, but likely due to the number of new characters introduced, it's still absolutely fantastic. Do hope to see more of the side characters back.
