The Primal Hunter 14

The Primal Hunter #14

by Zogarth

As the war across the Milky Way Galaxy intensifies, all fronts prepare for the ultimate confrontation between the gods and their Chosen.

Despite recent losses and the appearance of a new, unexpected enemy, Jake and the Malefic Viper’s preparations for the deciding confrontation with Ell’Hakan and Yip of Yore continue.

Other factions get involved as schemes are made and plans laid, with the entire multiverse watching on, waiting for Yip of Yore to make his move. With the would-be Primordial Slayer pushing back the Order of the Malefic Viper at every turn, many begin to wonder if Yip of Yore will be the first Primordial Slayer of the multiverse.

Simultaneously, the fighting in the Milky Way continues as the Prima Guardian event is wrapping up, with the time soon coming to decide who will come to rule the the Chosen of the Malefic Viper or the Chosen of Yip of Yore.

A confrontation on two fronts, both sides with their own plans, but in the end, the victor will be decided not by schemes or politics, but by the only thing that truly matters in the who’s actually the most powerful.

The series becomes better and better.

[Aaron · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rambling narrative

Ok story, though its getting a bit drab and repetitive at this point. And to make it worse, it's written in a such a way that extends the book with about 300 pages of random nonsense that really felt like a drag to get through.

I'm not a fan of having to skip paragraphs (or in this case entire chapters - 10 chapters for one fight! Dragonball took less episodes to do that!!), but found that I needed to for this book.

Damn, to jeden z lepszych tomów do tej pory, chociaż niektóre sceny akcji trochę za bardzo przeciągnięte.

[Roberto Flores · Rating 1 out of 5]

could not be a better example of quitting while you're ahead. this has been dragged out so far that it is ridiculous. even at the point of ending a story arc, it still bloats it unnecessarily.

Ko gan es te 14. grāmatā varu pateik, ja patīk litRPG tad šī ir ļoti laba sērija. Galvenais varonis Džeiks nu jau jaunajā realitātē ir pavadījis kādus 100 subjektīvos gadus, daudz graindojis līmeņus, kļuvis par Zemes valdnieku un pretendē uz Piena ceļa galaktiku. Skaidrs ka viņš jau pats īsti negribētu, bet apstākļi spiež. Piedzīvojumi ir labi un, lai ar problēmas neizbēgami iegūst patralēluniversu mērogu, autors tomēr spēj fokusēt sižetu.

Reāli gaidu nākamo sērijas grāmatu 9 no 10.

Ok story, Not the best of the series

It feels like Zogarth gets bogged down in word count. There is a lot of unnecessary descriptions that go on forever and kinda of repeat. Not going to lie there were several times I just skimmed through the fluff of the chapters just to get to the meat. The fights dragged on for too many chapters. I'm hoping the next book isn't as bad. Jake is one of my top 3 favorite characters but, I'm not sure if I can keep going much longer.

[David Brideson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't rate this higher than 3/5. Not when the first half of your book is that bad.

Honestly, I can't stand the "It must be said, It must be stated, It's important to remember, etc." Every other paragraph, I'm told completely irrelevant stuff. When an author tries to justify something, it's honestly best not to tell the reader what's important. Show them.

Now let's get to the bad. Firstly, if Jake doesn't care about what's happening, neither do I. Don't just write monotonous stuff for the sake of it. It makes the reader want to skip pages. Jake doesn't want to be there, and neither do I.

The fight scenes seem to drag on way too long.

At the 50% mark of this book, I nearly put it down. I'd rate it 1/5... if that. Keep in mind, this book didn't appear to have an editor. I found many run-on sentences that took me out of the reading sometimes.

So how did this book end up being a 3/5?

The good news is, it does have redeeming qualities. The second half of the book was filled with mystery and intrigue. And Jake's meeting with the sage was so heartfelt and emotional! It brought out the very reason readers actually read books.

The last third of the book found what makes an author good. And if I deleted all the other chapters, I'd rate it 5/5.

[Jayden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally, book 14!
As usual it felt too short (which is rather amusing with LitRPG, I know - and no worries, amazon says it has 733 pages, so my too short is relative) and I already am looking forward to the next one again, which is a feat few other authors have managed to get me to. I'm fully engaged in the story, outraged on behalf of some characters, happy for others, and shaking my head at the escapades of a third group. Which means character building is definitely a prime skill of ths author, one he keeps showing off.

I finally got the grand conclusion of the storyline that was built up over the last few books, and it was a real nail-biter. I absolutely loved it, and loved mentally cheering for the crew. Lots of my favorite snake god in this book as well, which I appreciate very much.

The world and the whole system still feels incredibly believable, gets fleshed out more the further we get, and I will keep looking forward to a lot more books in this series! Thanks to the author for his incredible skill at writing these. I hope he won't ever get bored of them.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zogarth is obviously a fan of "Dragonball Z"

The first almost 40% of this book is way too political. I understand it had to happen this way as Villy was running the show and he is a cunning snake god. We get to see the end results of the Villy and Yip story arch, and as expected, the twists were wild.

46% of the book marks the official fight or culmination of Jake and Ell' Hakan. And it is at this point that I personally felt the story turned four stars instead of five stars. The entire fight I kept picturing the main character from "Dragonball Z" and a certain pink/purple bad guy (if you know, you know) and the fight that... Just... Wouldn't... End. I actually just started skimming as this fight lasted well past the 60% mark. That's right, one quarter of the book was dedicated to this fight.

The Augur is absolutely up to something sneaky!! Can't wait to see what Jacob is doing.

Anyway, we finally get to see a long awaited Cameo and the results from that meeting were wild!!

Have Fun!!!

Rating 5.0 stars

Really not sure how to rate books in series this long. Am I rating the actual book or the series. Pretty much the series at this point. I am not even rating the story; I am rating my enjoyment from reading about these characters. There is a familiarity with them that always puts a smile on my face. The story part is secondary to me at this point, though there were some pretty big developments in this one. Yip of Yore versus the Viper? Yeah, that happened in this one. Jake's confrontation with Ell ’Hakan? Yep, that also happened in this one. What about everything with the first sage? Yep, that was addressed as well. Again, to me all that was secondary to really enjoying the characters and how the interact with each other. That's it. I had fun. I liked it. Looking forward to the next one. My only complaint is that Travis Baldree takes so long to do audiobooks now that I have had to read the books instead of listening to the narration since I don't feel like waiting 9 months after the book comes out to listen to the audiobook.

[Michael C Moore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Slowed pacing

Definitely slowed compared to the pacing of previous books a great deal. It was truly a long drawn out section for the pinnacle fights. Jake’s fight alone was 10 chapters almost 100 pages. Seems like there was a lot of repeat of Manny concepts already discussed in the current chapter in previous chapters. This, along with a Drawn out fights just served to increase the word count. Being said, I still love the character and the storyline of the books, and will continue to read series in the future.

[JennerallySpeaking · Rating 4 out of 5]

4/5 - Not my favorite of the series, but glad that it concluded a major arc. That patron of his is rather tricky and I like seeing the hints of who he is beyond friend to mortal. There are definite hints to what the future for the main character will hold, but I'm curious to see what the next arc in his development is. The last third of the book seems to be setting him up for a strong foundation for something - but there's a lot more of the world to explore.

[Stephen Jensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this this series. Seeing these chapters release day by day and week by week was 100% worth it. I won’t spoil it but the fights are getting better and better every book. Zogarth has really improved his already great writing skills and it shows here!

[READERSBEWARE · Rating 5 out of 5]

After fourteen books, The Primal Hunter continues to prove why it remains one of the strongest LitRPG series available. Book 14 delivers the kind of payoff longtime readers have been waiting for, as Jake finds himself closer than ever to settling old scores while navigating conflicts that now stretch across entire factions and worlds. The scale is larger than ever, but the story never loses sight of the relentless hunter at its center.

What makes this installment stand out is how well Zogarth balances action, progression, and character growth. Jake’s strength continues to evolve in exciting ways, yet his victories still feel earned rather than guaranteed. The combat is intense, the stakes are high, and every major encounter carries the sense that the series is building toward something truly monumental. Fans of the crafting, experimentation, and strategic battles that define the series will find plenty to enjoy here.

More than anything, Book 14 feels like a reward for readers who have followed Jake’s journey from the very beginning. It delivers major developments, satisfying confrontations, and enough twists to keep the pages turning. While it isn’t a jumping-on point for new readers, veterans of the series will find one of the most engaging and impactful entries yet. The Primal Hunter 14 is another excellent chapter in Jake’s story and a reminder of why this series remains a favorite among progression fantasy and LitRPG fans.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
READERSBEWARE Verdict: Bigger stakes, bigger hunts, and some of the most satisfying moments in the series so far.

[Josh Cameron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finaaaaaally an ending to Ell’fuckface and Yip of Yoda, boy has this book been a long time coming, and honestly I’m so happy it’s finally done, Ell’fuckface was a manipulative pain in the ass and I’m very pleased Jake finally got his revenge! On top of that we got to learn how broken Villy truly is and also finally got Jake’s 1 on 1 with the first sage which was very interesting! I’m glad we finally got to end off this particular storyline and I’m very excited to see what’s next! Even as sad as it’ll be when I finally catch up 😭🐍

[Chefo JL · Rating 5 out of 5]

me parece sorprendente que despues de 14 libros siga tan enganchado a toda la historia y sus personajes
Ademas, no parece que la historia pueda acabar en los próximos 30 libros siguientes. Es como los manga tipo One Piece que te acompañan 14 o 15 años

[Spencer Cullen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the best book in the series! I’m excited to see what’s in store for Jake since a lot of things were wrapped up in this book.

[Dylan Lyle · Rating 5 out of 5]

As my brother told me before I started reading this one: it's everything I was waiting for 🥲

[Andy Modell · Rating 5 out of 5]

a climax of storylines that leaves the reader very satisfied

Not to spoil too much, but look at the cover art. Zogarth begins to wrap up a lot of active plot lines with multiple climax scenes, very entertaining

[robert · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a great culmination of many of the long plot lines in this series.
So far the primal hunter series has been able to maintain a solid level of growth, and interest throughout the series. I would highly recommend for any lit rpg enjoyers.

[Jack Vinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Long series - long descriptions?

Some big story arcs have come to a close in this book, and the next promise some new paths. Jake and his patron manage what seems like the impossible, and Jake certainly learns from his experiences.

I wonder if it is the nature of long series, but this entry gives us several long sequences of conflict - granted that’s what the main character is about - but I nearly gave up through the big battle encompassing a good chunk of chapters.

[Hunter Knight · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best one yet!

[Daelaenor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better than the previous installment content-wise, and I would have given it four stars if the prose hadn't been what it was. It's ugly and continues to create unnecessary bloat I have to skim for sanity's sake.
To be fair, I could tolerate it if it was limited to narration, but the dialogue is as awful. My suspension of disbelief doesn't extend to literal gods (and everyone else) using the vocabulary and grammar of our protagonist and narrator.
"Don't get me wrong," I'm so critical of it *because* I like the story that's being told — I'd wish the execution matched it. It gives me the impression the author doesn't give a fuck, so maybe I should neither.

Btw, the covers are chef's kiss. If I stop reading, I'll at least come by to check out future artwork.

[Adam Sewell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Less Lit Than RPG

I still really like the story, but there's less story going on than self reflection and upgrading. It was kind of disappointing. Still looking forward to the next one though.

[Paul Clemons · Rating 4 out of 5]

very verbose

Imagine the Primal Hunter pursuing an apex predator, planning for months, and training skills for this single foe. An enemy which this Hunter has a special loathing for, along with an extra special alertness when around. And at the peak of battle, when this enemy is on the ropes, this mighty hunter stops? For pity, mercy, science, curiosity, or laziness? Does it matter? His own bloodline should have stopped him from quitting and submitting to stupidity. Let’s put away our super effective bow that defines us and get close to the foe who has the advantage up close. At least his buddy the Viper wasn’t a pansy in his fight, fighting to the very end. We should have had a THUMP thumping when the mc bowed to his arch enemy early in the fight. Totally out of character but the books must keep multiplying and that fight scene just had to be extended well beyond what it should have.

[Psycheros · Rating 2 out of 5]

it's not bad... but it's very much not good
.
.
.
Things, Notes, and Observations:
1. The first half of it was literally just 'telling' and not 'showing;'. Even 'political' decisions the characters made was plainly written and even some with "and here why it's bad". Where's the storytelling?
2. I know stories/books have structures and patterns, but this one especially was so painfully obvious where an arc ended and a new one started. It was just so choppy and you can actually see the clear line dividing between the two.
3. So repetitive. Jake kept relaying summaries of what happened to people he met (who wasn't in the events). It made sense for him i guess, but i just don't see how it was any good for the readers.

Finally we wrap up the Yip/orange-dude plot!

I’m giving this book five stars as a bonus to the author for finally doing what I’ve been gaining more and more annoyance with in finally finishing a main plot line. However, this book is more like the final act of that story plus a hefty dose of filler and setup for the next. So it’s more fair to say I have mixed feelings.

As I said, this isn’t a self-contained story. There’s no main story arc within this book, just the conclusion of one. So it starts off like we start just started watching Star Wars at the final battle scene. I don’t personally like books in this genre like that. I understand the need for overarching plots, plots within that and plots within those, but when you’re caught up in a series, this becomes an annoyance. That said, this author always gives us a good summary to start and so big thanks for that. It’s shocking how many authors ignore this, and those publish less frequently than Zogarth.

As for the conclusion of what is so far, the biggest plot line of the series, outside of Jake’s path itself, the author did his best to live up to that overly long setup. So the fight between the patrons was lengthy with a satisfying payoff, and even gave us a little doubt in there wondering if the author had something entirely else planned for the rest of the series. But in the end, he knew we like this character too much to do him (and us) like that, so we got what we expected.

For the second climax, between Jake and orange dude, the author also delivered his longest battle of the series yet, fought within the shooting geysers of magma and world-shaking fissures of a planet about to be explode. As cool as all that was, it went on for eleven chapters, and I checked out after the first it’s-over-it’s-not-over twist, only skimming the the actual end as we all knew how it was gonna end. I’m torn on how I feel about this fight. For one, Jake (MC) should never have struggled with someone who isn’t a fighter first, as Jake is, but orange dude did fight very competently in Nevermore, so I guess it is logically consistent. For another, this genre has tropes, one of which is the good guys win, so the end was never in doubt. This is why I feel the best fights in this genre are concise.

Fights could be more concise without managing the skill sheet debt series like this have. Now, it’s much less in this series than others. Jake has a slightly more than reasonable amount of skills, unlike some with so many the author gives up tracking them (Path of Ascension). But even when your Mac has a little too many skills, authors feel they have to use them on the page, especially in a climatic battle like this one, so it runs super long so he can do so.

The rest of the book consists of Villy’s reaction to the battle, another Great Sage Experience, Villy’s reaction to the experience, search for a new bow (nothing great), and setup for the next story, taking on The Holy Church to reclaim orange dude’s soul and prevent them from using his bloodline in nefarious ways (taking people’s agency).

All in all mixed feelings. Ecstatic about finishing this overly drawn out plot that could have been told in one book by mixing the last one and this one, but annoyed by the fact it was in two books and the too long final fight. I look forward to the next arc, mainly because it’s not big enough to warrant multiple books. Right? God, I hope I’m right. I think the right narrative direction for series like this one, open-ended with high power ceilings and thus dozens of potential books, is in telling one-book stories on the way. I don’t think we need some overarching plot thread hanging over the series, at least until the endgame is in sight. It’s my hope this series follows that pattern, and thus its stability and worth in investing our time and money into.

[Daniel Shellenbarger · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but the biggest weakness this series has (at least after the first couple books and Zogarth figuring out that less is more when it comes to keeping the audience apprised of stats) is that the beginnings and endings of each book are so arbitrary as to be practically an RNG value. There may be a book or two in the series that has a traditional rising action, climax, falling action, denouement plot structure, but by and large, the plot rises and falls through the course of the narrative, often finishing one plotline and taking up another in the middle of the book in a way that makes it hard to say that any of the books in the series really has a particular plot but rather that they cover a timeframe which can begin at any point in the plot begun in a prior book and can end at any point in that same plot or a new one begun in this book, possibly one of several to feature in the book. I suppose it makes it harder to just stop the series at the end of a book since you've already started the plot of the next book, but the net result is to make each book harder to define, which is hard enough given the titles are all Primal Hunter (insert number here). In this book, for instance, we start with Jake setting up for his patron god's showdown with the upstart god Yip of Yore and then we have that showdown and then Jake has his own (LONG) showdown with Yip of Yore's chosen, Ell'hakan, and then we deal with the fallout of that war... mostly and then Jake goes on a prolonged leveling up/learning journey through time and space which has nothing to do with anything prior in the book then he talks about what he's learned with his patron and after that he goes on a short quest to get a new bow since his current one is in poor shape and finally when Jake is about to head off to a showdown with the Holy Church for reasons related to the outcome of his showdown with Ell'hakan the book ends. In terms of narrative and characters, these books are pretty interesting, but the structure is just so... chaotic and while it doesn't ruin the experience it makes each book feel... messy. Anyway, apart from that I enjoyed this entry quite a bit, though the series does seem to have put itself in a bit of a corner plot-wise (I mean, we've been building up to the showdowns with Yip of Yore and Ell'hakan for practically the whole series so.... now that those are... concluded, now what? We seem to be lacking an antagonist (I mean, sure the Child of Calamity might make a reappearance but... it doesn't feel like a REAL threat to Jake)).
