Ready, Aim, Fire: Book 5 Flower & Fist (Sci fi LitRPG)

by Mike Lin

Jace has finally made his way to World 5, but the moment he sets foot on its surface, he’s completely overwhelmed by the powerful enemies waiting for him.
The average harvester can survive five hours during their first deployment.
Jace lasts less than one.
Now, as he struggles to recover from his failure and adapt to the brutal environment of the glass deserts, Sara Valen begins to take notice. The fierce red-haired harvester who oftentimes helped him finds herself paying more and more attention to the man who refuses to give up, no matter how many times he falls.
Will Jace find a way to rise again in a world designed to break him?
And will he and Sara finally confront the feelings they’ve both tried so hard to hide?

More of the same stuff - and main character does stupid things in battle

Main character is advised to evacuate in obvious losing conditions. He agrees that is a great idea and then sticks around until defeated. Rinse and repeat. Gets old after awhile. After 5 books of it I am not reading anymore.
