The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound 12
Randidly Ghosthound, at long last, understands the looming shadow of the Nexus.
He chooses to become proactive, meeting the threats of the Tribulations before they even descend upon his world. To do so, he simply needs to go up.
To travel to the Nexus, the source of all the horrors that have descended upon his world.
Considering the time it will take, he starts by preparing his planet to survive without him. He empowers Kharon, his walking city; he roots out the lingering threats of unstable political elements; and he hunts down Kaan Swaac, refuses to give him even a moment of peace.
Those on Earth cannot believe the time and power that Randidly Ghosthound has accumulated. But such victories are bittersweet. Because Randidly cannot forget the damage a casual look dealt to him, when a truly powerful being glanced his way...

Unsatisfying at best
When I started the series I recall how fresh and rich it was for both character development and world fullness. Other characters were live, we got to know them, understand their motivations and aspirations.
This book has nothing of it.
The story has two main events - the fight with a Swacc and a visit to Nexus - which, I estimate, makes roughly 15% of the book.
As a new thing, Randidly works on manifesting his Images in parallel and does some experimenting with his Nether nebula.
The remaining part is a bland set of skill level up notifications, some pointless tournament fights, some dialogue scenes and Kharon developments that in some way, i feel, were to show that Randidly is attached but in the end they stress that it would not matter for any next few books. Yeah, he gets to access some of the Ystrix memory, which should have felt like a major thing, but for me it was irrelevant.
And some parts were just ridiculous - like the fact that when Lyra and Randidly finally talk, none mentions Swacc; like the fact Roy for some reason logs off and nothing really happens; like what the hell happens with all those danger zones, the frog world etc??!!
Very disappointing

The "Martial Arts Tournament" is one of the most boring of fantasy tropes. It is just a bunch of mostly meaningless fighting. This volume does not rise above or do anything interesting with that trope. And the protagonist isn't even part of the tournament! And still the tournament winner is known from the very beginning! That's about 500 pages of drudgery while the reader is forced to wait for the book to get back to the plot.
Then there's about another 200 pages of Randidly training and we all know how that goes because we have been reading it for 11 books. Randidly pushes himself hard and harder until he runs out of mental energy, then he gets a headache, then he rests, and then he does the same thing some more.

A great series that gets better with each book
This book was fantastic in that it kept the momentum from the previous books going. There isn’t a lot of wasted dialogue or character movement (ie when MCs spend time traveling somewhere and doing nothing for the plot).
The only issue was this book seemed to have more editorial errors than the previous books. Not a lot at all, but enough that I stumbled when reading a few passages. I don’t think it hurt the story at all, so I was able to ignore them and enjoy the book wholly.

It has become quite frustrating. When this story started i5 was so much fun to see what would happen next. Now it just seems to a lot of filler just to create a book. This happens so often with writers who write many book series. It was fun watching the Ghosthound grow and help those around him, now it seems that half the book does nothing but talk about his training. I find myself just skimming over pages to get back to reading something new. Very disappointing. I really hope the next book.will harken back to the days of meeting new characters and a less page after page of filler.

What pretty much amounts to an extended prep session and goodbye to Earth (renamed for the Nexus, not destroyed--yet), this novel is nevertheless fun and full of great worldbuilding. Literal worldbuilding. Glorious and extensive worldbuilding. And quite a bit of old-character progression and wrap-ups to make us feel good about sending Randidly off into the great bloody unknown of the core of the Nexus itself.
It was quite fun. :)

Honestly, complaining about plotholes in this series is pointless since the author makes no attempt to avoid them. Still, giving the MC the perfect foresight treasure then having him repeatedly surprised by his opponent's capabilities is a step beyond. This author really is the final boss of careless writing.

long ending
To set up a new beginning.
I remain grateful for the opportunity to repay the author for hours of enjoyment.
Mostly, this was training and preparing to leave Earth(Expira). The last few chapters set the course for the next books.

Lots of great stuff on earth but we probably won’t see him there again for a long time. The off world stuff is usually my least favorite but it sounds interesting after this book.

Still Good - Getting A Tad Repetitive
I’ve enjoyed this series a lot, but since book 11, Randidly’s training monologues are becoming somewhat repetitive. Hopefully the author can mix things up more in the future

Just not good. Very lacking bordering on depressing lifeless writing with very limited spots of the opposite, that spark that would carry a stories, what might be perceived as, dreary world/foundation building. It becomes very noticeable. Just too dull and actually curtailed even in its bloat.

Pointless installation with the third tournament of the series where the MC isn’t even in it. Lots of unsatisfying fights and loose plot points floating about. Basically a filler book which is disappointing.

Amazing installment in a great series
I love this story of Randidly's return to Earth and how everyone responds to him showing how them how to utilize images.
