I feel like Selkie wrote herself into a corner with what she wanted to do and where she wanted the story to end. The first half of the book feels like a bunch of short stories and snippets of her life as she lives as an Immortal but there are Things that happen in the later half that the snippets all lead to. Yes, the start of the entire series feels stronger, but I like where it went and where it ended.
The series as a whole will remain one of my favorite LitRPG series of all time and Selkie managed to do what few LitRPG writers get to do: end the story on their terms and with a good ending. All the praise for wrapping things up and I hope she keeps writing new stories because I will certainly be reading them.

Nooooo, I wasn’t ready for it to be over 😭 I’ve spent far too much much time with these characters, and I don’t want to let them go 😭😭😭

While some part of me is sad to the series ended, most of me feels it is good that it does. Volume 16 makes it pretty clear the author has trouble getting more than a few chapters worth of single story going for the high powered MC and her equally high powered friends. The result is a long slide show at the start, each slide a fun read, but it feels more like the epilogue than the run up to the final confrontation. The fact that the final confrontation feels a lot like an after thought doesn't help. So, I liked it well enough, but it felt lacking.

It's like a power-point presentation "And here you can see what our protagonist was up to x years in the future...". No threat, just Elaine and Iona playing "what if" time-skip after time-skip over years. Which is entertaining, but there is no story arc, no deeper feelings. One long Epilogue really. Well, I read it in a day. So it was entertaining enough.
I guess the story of Elaine is over. The last books were rather weak, but overall I enjoyed the whole thing.

Aww, that was the cutest, most epic book
This was the cutest, most heartwarming, most epic book in a series I've ever read.
Actually, I may have read books that were more cute and more heartwarming, But, none were able to combine heartwarming, cute and epic together like this one. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever read a book this epic before. Objectively there has been stuff more epic that spanned multiple universes instead of just one planet, but the way this book made it feel, with the culmination of all the previous books in the series and everything just fit together without plot holes and weird forcing of things to make them work. It just felt more properly epic!
Also, this is the final book in the series. I think if there is anything else in this universe it will be with a new main character. I guess there could be another book in the series, but it would be hard to figure out how to make a problem that is interesting for Elaine to solve. it feels like it would be more of a slice of life story.
This book was just the best possible way to end the series. It was kind of bittersweet when I realized that this was the last book. There's no way to avoid that in any good series though. It's a lot better to end a book feeling bittersweet, than relieved that the series is finally over. Or just leaving the story unfinished. Or just writing sequel after sequel until it's so bad you don't want to read them anymore.
Honestly, I'm really glad that I was able to feel so bittersweet and sad about the series ending. It's been awhile since I've felt this sad about losing a series. There are so many good series that I never get to finish for various reasons, and even if I do finish them, their endings are either not very good, or I'm tired of the series by the time it ends.

The book was mostly filler content until the last third, when everyone had to deal with how to handle and the final . I can't say it was the most satisfying ending, but it's difficult to say how to conclude a series with immortal characters.

A truly amazing series
I have read the entire series at least three times. Several of the books I've read five or more times. The only series I've ever liked more was The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny.
A truly epic and amazing journey spanning thousands of years. A main character I've grown to deeply care about. Her partner who is just as complicated and amazing in her own way. Their familiars who also become major characters.
Night. There is nothing I can say to prepare you for Night. This series is filled with truly amazing characters; so many.
Give this series a read. You will not regret it.
I read this ending with the fondest of farewells. Thank you Selkie. For sharing your world, and your characters.

I’d say my overall impression of the series is quite positive.
The beginning was deeply engaging, with strong world-building and believable human interactions. While there was perhaps too much emphasis on the status messages, the focus on the system and its broader impact was enjoyable and well executed.
The matter of the Oath is… controversial. Many reviewers love it, while others despise it with passion. Personally, I fall somewhere between neutral and slightly negative. It’s a fascinating narrative device that allows the story to explore moral and ethical themes and contributes meaningfully to the world-building, but I feel it both overstayed its welcome and wasn’t fully utilized.
One of the main issues, especially in the later parts of the story, is the lack of deeper exploration into the system itself—both its direct mechanics (skills, magic, stats, ranking up, clever interactions, etc.) and its indirect implications, such as the Oaths or Vows. These raise compelling questions about long-term applicability for potentially immortal beings and the existence of ways to remove or alter them once they no longer fit the person they bind. These ideas were rich with potential, but largely left unexplored.
I also understand the arguments about the lack of “challenge” after a certain power level, but to me, the rapid skip through the “immortality period” to the ending did a major disservice to both the world-building and the narrative. Even if very few beings could pose a direct physical threat to the protagonists—at least without destroying the “Cradle”—the story didn’t need physical conflict to remain engaging. The characters’ shift from grinding to exploration and enjoyment could have opened the door to more philosophical and creative storytelling.
Especially considering the huge opportunity given by the Rune that Elaine potentially could have turned into a world-spanning death-prevention ward in collaboration with the Lich to limit the impact of Immortal Wards.
Exploring the “man of steel living in a world of cardboard” concept (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl_5U...) would have offered a fascinating look into the flaws of a world imperfectly crafted by inexperienced gods who failed to foresee the consequences of their actions.
One Punch Man remains interesting despite an unbeatable protagonist because it invests in the side characters and their growth. That’s another missed opportunity here: we barely know what Amber has been doing, her levels, skills, or classes, Artemis’s development (even her recognition as the Founder of the School) was glossed over in a single paragraph and Night, who many readers are surely curious about, remains mostly a mystery. Given that Iona can literally read full status sheets, the lack of insight into other characters feels like a major omission.
In the end, my lasting feeling after finishing the final book was one of disappointment at the lost opportunities. The series had every chance to feel complete and cohesive, but those chances weren’t taken. What remains feels unfinished. Solid in structure, but lacking in substance, like a house with half its walls missing. It lets us imagine what could have been, but ultimately doesn’t deliver it.

And with that this series is finally done?!? Arrrgh, it was so good. I am disappointed that the journey is over. I am also so so so happy in discovering this series.
The conclusion was everything I hoped it was. Epic. Absolutely fantastic.
The journey to get there in these last few books.... eh. It could have been better. It should have been better?
I can totally understand, though, that writing 10,000 years of "same old same old" would get... well, old. It's easier to make vignettes. It's probably also a way to stay sane. I do wish there had been more of a close-up focus than we had, however. The time with Sara flew by. I never felt like we had enough Amber after the time skip. Nina had a focus early on post time-skip; alas never enough after. But our core four were always there.
And ah, how I will miss them. Elaine is such a doofus but I love her. Iona is an amazing paladin and her relationship with the moon goddesses is just on point. I absolutely love Auri. She is very one track mind, but also not. There's more nuance and depth and I am so happy we got to see her branch out into taking the domain she did. Fenrir really grew on me. I absolutely adored his case solving chapters with their tonal shifts and so many puns. I never really got the vibe from Auri that she was as into him as he was into her, but it seems that they did really get there in the end.
Every time I have a mango anymore I think of Elaine. I'd sacrifice a mango to her.

Mangos are pretty awesome
I do love tropical mangos like the character Elaine in the book. This book had a great final ending although I waited months to read it and then its over almost wanted to start over so it was all together but. Great story even if Pallos must be a huge planet for all the different life forms. Love the gnolls though they're only fleeting.

A fantastic read from start to end
It is always hard to come to the end of things, to wonder what else could be. To see the next great adventure. I feel like this series encompassed all it could without being too much, given the span of time involved. I look forward to rereading it all in one go, perhaps a year or two from now, when the memories have started to fade.

Wow.
My favorite series of all time. It’s nice when characters get the ending they deserve. It was a long journey to this point but Elaine, Iona, Auri, and Fenrir finally made it! I honestly loved it. Thank you Selkie Myth for the wonderful story and for bringing these characters into my life!

Finally! An incredible series that ends and its everything you ever wanted
I'm not crying, you're crying. Selfie elevated a fantastic series to one of my most favorite ever. They invoked a very rare ability: bringing a huge series proper closure. Read the series, i started the entire series 3 weeks ago and just finished. It is THAT good.

EPILOGUE
The ending to end all endings. Most of the book is a coda, various frivolous ideas to cap off…everything.
But everything led up to the final momentous battle.
Gonna kinda miss this series.

Some series leave you hanging. The best know how to bring it back to the beginning. There are fast moments and slow stretches in the series. But it mimics life in all the way that will swing you heart from despair to the highest joys. Ty

It's over? :-(
I loved this series, I didn't know this was the end, I am often bothered by fast tracking stories in the final stages, but overall it made sense here. 10/10, also this series is why I love mangos now... never really ate them before haha

It's done. This series peaked when Elaine and Iona met; that was its big reveal, and the series never really found its stride again. Five stars in tribute and appreciation for what came before.

Part slice of life, part action adventure, a complete story that grabs you from start to finish. Pull up a chair, grab a mango, and dig in
