It seems the story of these books is basically action filled with deus ex machina's. Mira does nothing under her own power be they tricks, schemes, or skill to win fights. Something always conveniently saves her. There are parts where she even admits she gets lucky or a miracle happened.
The writing annoys me personally. I really dislike, for some reason, that the Oxford comma is not used and these very repetitive sentences with 'the ground was wet and cold and special' or something to that effect are used. If it was a few times it would be fine but they are extremely annoying and extremely frequent.
The story is basically the same as the last book. Mira gets into something over her head and has to get herself out. She will be a hothead despite being shown multiple times that there are things stronger than her. She just forgets the lesson and does it again.
Side characters take a back seat in this book so there is little development for them. There is little botany or crafting done so don't look forward to that either. There are also parts where the characters just seem to contract a mental illness where that can't speak complete sentences and will break them up like they are out of breath. This goes on for a bit and then stops. There is also a part about 52% of the way through the book where a chapter just has terrible grammar and spelling mistakes. Must have been missed in editing.
Overall don't think I'll personally read the next book and this sentence is more a note for future me since I'm still giving it a 3 star. The story is definitely readable but does nothing special or exciting to keep me reading but is still well done and I can see the appeal.

Um... Underwhelming for a two book set up
A continued original story that stays consistent. Kline is the best character. Be careful of losing track of characters as there are now three that have similar names in the hero's party; Kline, Kira, and Kyru. I have had to stop reading to figure out who I was reading about a few times (seriously, authors that do this should be slapped).
We finally get to see THE HARVEST that the last two books were leading up to. I have to admit that it was quite underwhelming considering the over hype of two books leading up to it. Unlike other authors that dedicate an entire book to a main event, this author had maybe utilised a quarter of the book (and I think that is on the generous side) for this event.
The last quarter of the book was exceptionally boring as it focused on Mira surviving the winter in comfort and training in the spring to prepare for what is coming in the next book. Basically just a lot of setup.
The book wasn't bad, but also not good, just meh. The previous books were better. Not sure I am looking forward to the next book.
Have fun.

The Downfall Begins
I picked up this series because I genuinely loved the solo hermit plant loving aspect of the MC. Unfortunately all that is going away. I love love magic and I do enjoy the MC is OP and yet you get very little depth to the magic system. We are 3 books in and there is also very little plant engagement. I thought we would get to see her grow in power and do so by utilizing and exploring the environment around her. Other then the occasional plant tid bit none of that is present. To make matters worst she will no longer be a solo hermit, there are two issues with this. One I just preferred that aspect and introducing a bunch more perspectives and considerations is going to degrade the quality of the plot. Two, it’s the beginning of the author watering down her own magic system and plot line. The forest is inhospitable, and the only reason Mira has survived is because she has generational talent and the backing of powerful gods and allies. To now water down how deadly the forest is so that she can have companions will ruin the power scaling and relevancy of the story.

I wanted to like this book far more than I did. I am still enjoying the characters for Mira and Kline, but Mira even more so in this book seems to want to be the damsel in distress who needs saving, despite sometimes being portrayed as someone who doesn't need anyone to save her. It doesn't seem like she does hardly anything herself. She will lead people into a trap, or let Kline save her, or now at the end of this, let Kira save her. Despite finally getting her evolution, I can't tell that it did anything. Did she can a new class, did she get skills, did she get requests? Who knows, certainly not the author. This series might have been better if the author didn't try to make it LitRPG, as they don't seem to like the LitRPG elements of the story.
Still trying to decide if I will come back to read book 4 when it does release. I do still like the characters, and somewhat want to know where the story will go. I think this could have been a pretty great story with better writing and more of a plan for the LitRPG elements.

Not quite what I was hoping for... 3½ 🌟
Well humm! That was som'min. I expected to love this book but Little Lynx didn't quite pull it off. I think that that may have been my fault. I never re-read a book I always figure that jumping back into a series should be easy enough. But this one wasn't. Ohhhh there was plenty of action with Mira and Kline, but I was confused by what was what and who was who... there were three other characters I had totally forgotten about (my fault, I know) but with all the soul bending, shaping, spinning, splitting etc etc yeah boring! After almost two hundred plus pages of this nonsense, the story took an about face and then started telling the story I expected to read. The story that included Aiden and the Harvesters with Mira and Kline being the Guardians of Wraithwood.
Here's a quote that amused me:
"What the hell are you, anyway? Princess Mononoke?”

Consistently great series!
These books are fantastic, with a well-crafted world, great characters, and an amazing plot. It really feels like I’m there with the characters in the situations they’re in. The book is very descriptive but all the descriptions feel meaningful and relevant. The world is also very rich but not overbearingly so. I’ve found that some authors in the genre ignore consistent voice, tone, or plot relevance to tell the reader about how cool/in-depth/well-considered their world is usually in a very flat, boring way that ends up taking me out of the story. This series avoids that pattern very well.
Lost a star for a fair number of editing mistakes throughout (occasional name mixups, using homophones, random missing/extra words)

So - this review comes with due notice.
I don't like cultivation all that much. Pretty much at all.
So, I almost DNF'd this. The first 100+ pages were all - I churned my soul/threaded my core/impossible fight but I rotated to the left. Blah.
But, eventually, it got back around to the story that I enjoyed more in books 1 and 2.
Still some cultivation during all that, eat soul meat, master technique, whatnot.
Also, I can barely remember who the business partner is of the secondary male character or why he's involved. But it isn't important, unless it is.
I am unsure about continuing this. I really actually like the main character and even the setting and what's going on. I just. . so much cultivation. If you like cultivation, I do recommend these.

fun
Mira has survived a year in the forest. She’s gained strength. She met a legacy that she decided needed to go. She arranges a trap that succeeds but leaves her broken crawling to safety. The family of the legacy want vengeance. And Mira determines to build her little setup into a village. Book ends.
A fun new addition to the series. Not a standalone as the previous are needed to understand the situation. The world continues to gain depth and context. Character development is linear and directed. The pace remains steady. And the narrator is absolutely awesome. Please enjoy

Good reading
Overall fast paced and fun, though some of the level grinding is a bit of a grind to read. This book settles some of the mysteries from book two, and sets up a new antagonist that seems likely to cause lots of interesting troubles for Mira. Looking forward to book four!

Can somebody explain in a world where every being can become a god, why men still OWN women? I mean OWN. Apparently in a marriage a woman is a commodity and their desires doesn't matter. If a man throws away his PURCHASE, then he gets refund from her FATHER. Because as we know that's the primary owner. Just why?

A really creative series
This series is great and a creative take on the genre. I am looking forward to the next volume however please do an editing pass or two before publishing. The ~ in the middle of words and partial sentences are bad.

4.5 stars
A wonderful progression of Mira's rise. Docked half a star for grammatical errors, which seemed more prolific in this book than previous ones. I look forward to reading the next book and seeing how Mira deals with more powerful enemies.

Great series
The book and series has a great pace, keeping you entertained the whole way through. Probably the best LitRPG series I've read this far, focusing more on story and content.

Wraithwood Botanist, book three of A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure series, is an ebook I borrowed through Kindle Unlimited (KU). Such a great series, and I love the novelty of a female protagonist. Nice plotting, fast action, nice build up, and unusual story line. This series is a winner for me.

Decent
Well written but definitely needs someone to proofread as I felt like I was having a stroke in some sections where it just had typos that break the cohesion.
I.e. a character is introduced and then on the next page he's named differently so it's confusing.

There were stand out sections of this book that I very much enjoyed and several new characters that I found interesting such as the alchemist and Hadrian but I think some focus was lost which made it seem like 500 plus pages while previous books felt faster.
The lessened focus on Aiden did help, honestly. I did not find him to be a fascinating character so removing him a bit made it better.
