I enjoyed this one even more than the last despite Jake really enjoying wiping out whole species. The genre just makes you have to accept some things that are icky, but if you get over that it’s all very fun lol.

A solid entry in the series that leans more toward setup than nonstop action.
This book expands the world significantly and starts laying the groundwork for the next big phase of the story. While it doesn’t have the same constant tension as some of the earlier installments, it still delivers enjoyable moments, character progression, and interesting developments.
I especially liked the quieter parts that explore the balance between power, personal growth, and everyday life. It adds a nice layer to the story and makes the world feel more grounded.
That said, the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, and the lack of a strong central antagonist is noticeable compared to previous books.
Overall, a very good read and clearly an important stepping stone for what’s coming next. Not my favorite in the series, but still highly enjoyable.

Filler, the worst one yet.
Listen, I haven’t hated too much on the other fillers in this series because they were funny, and they all did some serious work world building and the setting up of future arcs. But there’s no setup in this book, other than for the training escapade. There is some humor and fun with Artemis situation, but that’s mostly the first half of the book. The training part at the end of the book is just so confusing and frustrating simultaneously and it’s why I’m rating this book two stars.
My first problem is a big one. It’s the moral contradictions going on here. In this book, as in most others, we are reminded how disdainful Jake is of all forms and justifications for slavery. Yet what does he do for the back half of this book? He goes to what is essentially a zoo for high c grade and low b grade, SAPIENT talking people with societies just born as beasts. The sapient creatures are born and bred in captivity, limited in their growth and the power of their levels, as fodder for hunters like Jake to feed their levels and skills. If they grow too powerful, they are culled like mad cows. What else is this but an egregious form of slavery? It’s not like they are doing hard labor. They aren’t evil. They aren’t stupid (merely sentient). But they are being raised to the slaughter like cattle anyway. This is a total contradiction of Jake’s supposed morals, and it’s not just from previous books, but they even discuss slavery in this one extensively. I fail to comprehend how the author missed this obvious contradiction.
I know why he did it, though, as it’s more interesting for these beasts he’s using as filler to be able to talk and scheme to make the fights more engaging for the reader I guess. But at what cost? The story’s logical consistency.
That not the only example of the author making bizarre and immersion-breaking decisions to further some goal. The first one I explained was to have something for Jake to do in this filler novel. The next one was to facilitate this scavenging animal creature he’s agreed to help try to escape the planet in the next book most likely, set up for some future Jake juice plot. First issue with that, why does this beast get sympathy from Jake for its freedom when he just indiscriminately kills all the others? Unlike the other sapients he murders for levels, this one can barely put two words together… Second, in order for Jake to cozy up to this beast, the author needed a reason for Jake to be near him for a week or two. And that reason, Jake’s injured from a fight. His injuries? Some internal organ damage. Why not take a healing potion you ask? Good question. Because the author says healing potions “don’t work like that.” Wait they don’t heal physical injuries in this story full of Trillion, with a “T”, year-old alchemists from 93 universes? No healing potion works for organs? What? This author just created the wildest, most ridiculous excuse to contrive a circumstance for his character, one that likely contradicts prior writing I’m too lazy to look up and will probably be contradicted in the future.
Further, if Jake doesn’t need his organs. Doesn’t need to eat or breathe, why he is injured at all? Why is having these organs damaged keeping him from being at fighting strength when they serve no purpose? Doesn’t make sense.
Honorable mention for disliking the condescending intro. I usually appreciate and like the intros as they are funny, and slightly meta. This one was all meta. Just the author dumping on people hating on some aspects of his last book. Dude, goes with the territory. I’d take criticism more constructively. He says he’s just following the tropes, no, he’s just writing what he wants. Which he also says. So which is it? Whatever, he’s sensitive, that’s fine. But I ask him, how many people have bought Book 1 of the series? And how many bought Book 14? This is a new genre. And I think the pattern of many series like this is that this open-ended, no-end-in-sight format isn’t a winning formula. Who’s gonna be left? EDIT: I know he just raked in a cool $1m+ from the hard back crowdfunding of his first three books. Clearly, that plus his Patreon mean he’s doing very well and probably doesn’t have to worry too much about declining readership (which anyone can see from the nosedive in ratings and reviews for each successive novel). So maybe he, and some other authors in this situation, do have more breathing room than I believed to write what they want at this point. But that said, can he maintain his series’ current snail’s pace and expect to be able to write 50+ books? Absolutely not. At some point, he’s gonna see the writing on the wall, and the series will suffer for it. I hope he considers this inevitability now, rather than later, so as to reframe his narrative style (perhaps with significant time jumps) and make the finished product better rather than feeling rushed at the end.
Another honorable mention for the author adding a major new magic/world building aspect that also potentially extended the length of the series much further, it’s that once you reach god hood, there’s ranks there too! At least 11? That’s more than there were to get it godhood. Crazy. We gained 20 levels or so in this book. At this pace, this series will go to what 50 books just to get to godhood. Then more than that to reach whatever the pinnacle is? Edit: apparently there’s 10 levels to the eleventh God King/Queen then some “Empyrean Steps” after that…
But what I hated the most about this book, was the final battle. Author lets us know he loves to write long fights in his intro. Cool, I didn’t care for the “it’s over, zike, it’s not over” rug pull he did three or four times in the Orange Dude fight last book, but at least we’ve been building that character for many books and the inevitable death match for just as long. It makes sense to pay it off with a huge battle even if it’s done poorly imho. But what’s this book do? We introduce a bad guy beast a chapter before spending the next eight chapters and multiple shenanigans of “it’s over, zike, it’s not over” power ups before finally and inevitably defeating it.
And that’s the end of the book. To me this genre is about escapism. It’s about fun. Good guys winning is a given. But to me, the most satisfying payoffs in progression stories are not being pushed to the brink and unlocking some new ability, skill, or having the enemy constantly reveal hidden aces, power ups, multiple times until the inevitable victory for the MC. Those types of fights have their place, but it can’t be all you do for climatic book battles. The real payoffs come from victories being primarily from an investment in training, in progression, in strategy, and seeing the fruits of that effort payoff in a win. Not just the MC hearing about a new bad guy the chapter before, doing zero intelligence gathering or planning, and just winging it. That feels cheap.
Listen, I really enjoyed the Church episode at the beginning, the Artemis stuff, the family stuff, the political stuff, the other perspectives. But I just got so frustrated with the back half of this book, that I had originally wanted to give it one star. It’s that frustrating considering the contrivances, the contradictions, and the stupid filler of a fight with some nobody that lasts 8 chapters and just ends the book. BUT I have reconsidered. I think the front half of the book, the parts with the concise story lines, the characters and the banter, it’s all top tier for the genre. Zogarth writes amazing characters who have what feel like genuine personalities and engage in realistic dialogue. This is where this author really shines in this genre. It’s the reason I’m still reading besides all the systemic issues in the world and magic building, the pacing problems, the contradictions made to contrive circumstances, the filler novels, and the winging-it way he writes fights.
This series is being milked. I think it’s a losing strategy, as many other authors are discovering in similar situations (Plum Parrot rushing to end Victor of Tucson for this specific reason, exponential decline in readership with each successive novel), but time will tell how it affects other open-ended series like Primal Hunter, DOTF, HWFWM, etc.

Pues como al 10%-15% se cierra el arco de varios libros anteriores y a partir de ahí me ha "hecho bola" y no lo he terminado. Se quedó la historia súper arriba y al terminar ese subidón... me costaba avanzar.
Así que me veo en la obligación de bajarme de esta saga con una gran sonrisa en la cara.
Ojo, que el parar ahora no desmerece el disfrute inmenso que me han producido la barbaridad de horas invertidas leyendo los 14 libros anteriores.

5 🌟 Perfection, just loved all the adventures. I do have to say for the overall series' storyline, this did feel like 700 page filler.

Rating 5.0 stars
At this point the rating is more for the series than the actual book. To be honest this was one of the weaker books in the series. But since I love the characters so much, I still love it. Jake wraps things up with the Holy church and finally El Hakan's soul. Then the universe opens up and Jake is off to get some training and do some hunting. He ends up going with Sylphie and the Sword Saint to visit the Pantheon of life and his former teammate from nevermore. While there he has some interactions with Artemis, does some training and then hunts his first B grade monster. Which turns into hunting a lot of B grade monsters. Along the way he improves a couple of skills and gets stronger. Nothing really noteworthy happened but again I didn't mind that much since I really do like the characters and the world the author has built.

Super boring stuff here
The plot is moving like cooled molasses. The entire book has less than a hundred pages of real story content. Especially the last arc of Jake hunting the B grades. I will not be reading anything else with Zogarth's name on it ever again.

big fights
The author likes them. And this is made clear as Jake gets several battles. Two serious boss fights and a couple scrambles with multiple opponents.
Preordering 16.

Solid continuation of Jake's story. We just finished two major story arcs, so I was expecting a filler book to tie up loose ends and have some side quests, which is what we got. I continue to enjoy the journey.

I love, Love, LOVE this book! I can't wait for the next book in this friggintastic series!
Without a doubt I love this book/series! As everyone is still reeling over the death of Ell'Hakan and it's ramifications. For Jake it's a personal matter and his team don't let grass grow. They hafta deal the Holy Church and the God, Holy Mother who had supported Ell'Hakan. The church demanded that Ell'Hakan's bloodline be preserved, and of course Jake took umbrage to that!!! Once that mess was cleaned up, Jake had a chance to recuperate. He did that though alchemy, mediation, and some reading. Then he took a group to the Pantheon of Life. Where everyone split off, following their own path inorder to strengthen and level. Jake wanted to meet up with a friend he made in Nevermore, to spar, and to hunt. Ohhhh and Minaga a splinter God from
Nevermore showed up too. Don't know anything about Nevermore go read the series! Grab the book. Why so late posting a review? I was actually trying to hold out for the audiobook book, but with more words released into the Wilds my resolve dissolved!😉
Have a couple of quotes:
"Well, who’s stronger? The paper, the scissors, or the rock?” “Gun,” Adam answered without any hesitation, throwing Jake off course instantly. Luckily, he quickly adapted."
"...what have you been up to, Minaga?” The Unique Lifeform shrugged. “Stuff.” “More specifically?” “God stuff.”

Decent filler till the end.
As with all large stories each arc comes to an end and there’s a lull between them. This book is exactly that, the filler between the Yip arc and what’s next.
I was going to give this one 3 stars since it was mostly just whatever, but at the end of the book I really hated the whole thing with Umbra. Most of the book is just normal stuff, almost slice of life for Jake, but his hunting trip just kept dragging on and on. I know the author loves his super long fight scenes, he even says in the recap “tough if you don’t like them” but these just kept dragging. I think I ended up skipping most of the later fights because they just didn’t matter and he used 500 words for every 4 that were needed.
The whole thing at the end with Umbra felt forced and not a good addition to the plot at all. I think I literally rolled my eyes at the entire interaction.
All in all, this was just a filler book that does what most fillers do, waste time till the actual important stuff starts again.

Jake the Record hunter
I had a cat once that would roll on the mice it caught, playing with them and then look at me like I was the problem if the mouse ran away. Jake seems to like to play with his food too. Often pausing to let them gather, reset, and even evolve so it is more of a challenge. I would prefer that Jake never let up releasing arrow after arrow to finish the fight but that isn’t who Jake is. I realize now Jake is like the African big game hunter only hunting for fame and trophies, only worse. Jake doesn’t loot or take food or crafting material let alone a trophy, even for his city or planet. He enters the habitat of a giraffe or rhino and then justifies killing them when they get mad and defend their territory with an attack. And Jake does this for only one reason, only for the pride, glory, and self-enrichment which in these books is called killing for their Records. I read 140 books last year, I really do need/enjoy recaps.

Diminishing Returns
It’s just ok. 15 books in and any sense of stakes or plot advancement is long gone, feels more like a slice of life story about a multiversal plot armored MC.
If I read one more character enter a scene and immediately say “I reckon…” although I do enjoy the various scenes of gods/random creatures perspectives, unfortunately every single character speaks in the same voice, regardless of background. Funny enough, Minaga might be the only one I could pick out of a lineup as having a unique “voice” on the page and he is Legion!
I’m going to stick around for the next one but it’s tough to stay excited about this series when level progression has gotten so slow and the majority of the book is the author explaining his own explanations. I hope things turn up a notch next installment and this doesn’t fizzle out like other long-winded litRPG series.

decent book overall, but I’m ready for the next big event to start
I wasn’t as impressed with this one. It seems like it was more world building and getting Jake out into the Multiverse a little bit which I can appreciate and I like it but it just seemed kind of lack lustre compared to the previous one and I kind of want Jake to struggle a lot more for his final skill evolution of sacred, especially for his class I like the way the stories going but I just want something that felt more of a threat, but hopefully we’ll get that when he fights a dragon in the next book or the book after

Happy to get another volume, even if it is filler. After wrapping up loose ends from prior book, Jake is off to the Pantheon of Life. I was hoping for more to happen with Artemis, but I assume we will circle back. It’s also time for the 93rd Universe to open up, but instead of getting involved with that, Jake goes on a solo hunting trip for the 2nd half of the book. The objective for this kept changing, so it felt mostly pointless overall. Jake gets about 10 race levels in this volume, so it should only take a minimum of 3 more volumes to reach B-grade at this pace. I’ve been waiting for his evolution into a Númenórean for too long.

Awesome edition to the series as always.
The scope with this series can't be understated. I would've liked for the ending to be a little further along in the story and it feels like it's a few chapters short but seriously sets up the next edition with a great early setting. Very much looking forward to the next book and absolutely HATE that it'll be months before the next book comes out as a fan and reader. On the other side, the author definitely keeps it interesting and moving forward at a great pace.

I would've liked for the ending to be a little further along in the story and it feels like it's a few chapters short but seriously sets up the next edition with a great early setting. Very much looking forward to the next book and absolutely HATE that it'll be months before the next book comes out as a fan and reader. On the other side, the author definitely keeps it interesting and moving forward at a great pace.

Jake's Greatest Ability. SPOILERS
Archery, nope. Katarina fighting, nope. Creating super powerful beings....Nope. His greatest ability is making friends with unusual and or more powerful beings....Hawkie, Mystie, Fallen King, Sylphie, even Sword Saint and Dina....oh anddont forget Villy. So no surprise he has befriended yet another rare, powerful and unusual being....no not Artemis or Umbra, rathera cute little scammed he definitely isn't going to violate rules to help 😉

Archery
I'm enjoying the growth of the character in most part however I feel he wasted his training with Artemis in archery as he failed to truly get anything really impact full from the long drawn out reunion as we've come to expect and he spends more time falling back on old habits instead of focusing on the actual information Artemis gives him and mostly focuses on melee fighting we may need to change him to the primal assassin than hunter as I've been seeing very light growth in the archery...otherwise great book

I read this one immediately following book 14. That was a mistake. I can understand an 8 chapter battle against Ell'hakan, but against a random no name unimportant B-grade... I ended up just skimming over the last third of this book. The last 2 books have been basically a couple fights and not much plot or story. I really hope this series starts to go somewhere. At this rate it'll be 2 more books containing 3 fights each to maybe reach B grade. Thats being optimistic since one of them will be a 10 chapter slog vs a true dragon.

Great addition to the series after all the action and fast paced arcs this one being a bit more grounded is great. We get some good slice of life with Jake, which is great. It sets up the nice book nice
I think some people forget this series is more like a web novel in the way it doesn't break up great into self contained books. So yeah a bit slower from the ones previously but it is bound to happen to set up a proper long standing series like this <3

not my favorite episode
I read novels for human interactions, although I enjoy interludes and fight scenes as well. However, this book feels as if it is mostly fighting with no real resolution to any issues brought up in this book. Perhaps there was just too much to put into one book, but this book feels as if it’s just cut off. Oh well, perhaps the next book will wrap up part of the current story arc.

This continues the story, and after 15 books, you either like what Zograth is writing or have moved on to something else. This is a little slower book, after some big exciting conclusions in the previous book. I liked the slightly slower pace in this book and Jake getting to know Artemis a bit better, along with getting to met another Primordial and catching back up with some friends from previous books. This was a cozier, easy to read book for me.

Always a Treat
I enjoy how well Zogarth writes despite churning out several books a year. Often small grammatical errors or spelling mistakes can pop up over time as the editors or the writer cannot keep up with the pace - not to mention the plot. These books do not share that commonality and it is both refreshing and enjoyable as the reader, so thank you Zogarth, for producing great content.

Still a awesome series
This book keeps the storyline strong and interesting with alot of back stories and plots, it also answers alot of questions from other storylines from earlier books, I just wish this book was longer because I didn't want to stop reading and finish it in two days lol keep up the good work.

This series has become monument to ego. The author clearly states he is writing for his own amusement and does not care about the general public, and it shows. A complete lack of direction, bloated mini arcs, and boring combat is all that had been happening for numerous books. Even the Yip of Yore storyline was finished in a comically quick manor.

Poor pacing in the back half
The first half of the book is great, but once Jake goes hunting, basically all story progress stops. Jake gets kills, levels, and upgrades a few skills, but nothing real actually happens to the story.
This book just appears to mostly be a setup for the next one.

Back to hunting....
This book draws a close to a lot of the things which were wrapping up in the last book and starts to move forward to the next big thing: Jake getting out of C grade. So he goes back to basics and spends some time hunting. This was fun, but I think the next book is where things will stay to get really interesting again 😁 can't wait!

Book 14 ended a pretty significant arc, so this book as expected was more admin/picking up the pieces than plot progression, which I wouldnt expect to pick up again for another book or 2. An awaited reunion was satisfying, the fights were fun and didnt slog the book too much. Looking forward to the next

Yet again, a new favorite in the series.
Finally a book about fighting.
stays on track, yet this book covers a little over a year of real time.
Zogarth manages to maintain his #2 spot on my author list, topped by the great John Flanagon(Rest in peace, Good sir)
Can't wait for book 16, coming out in July!
