Path of the Berserker #5
Path of the Berserker 5: A Daopocalypse Progression Fantasy
A world destroyed. An axe to grind. And a path to infinite power. Welcome to my reality.
I’ve survived my tour of the Hell Worlds…no…scratch that. I did more than just survive—I damn well thrived.
I’ve unlocked secret knowledge, advanced to the edge of the Sacred Soul Realm and even managed to perform feats of cultivation that no one in history has ever done before.
And now it’s time to put my new-found strength to the test.
My path hasn’t gotten any easier and a new set of trials awaits me upon my return home. Good thing I got a damn good barrister and a family of loyal supporters to back me up.
Theres been a lot of shady business going on while I’ve been away.
But Daddy’s home now and there’s going to be hell to pay.
Path of the Berserker Book 5 is a progression fantasy novel that contains immortal cultivators, an oppressive intergalactic dynasty, rage-inducing imperial bureaucracy, magical spirit beasts, fantastical martial arts and one pissed off MC who’s sick of it all. Fans of western style cultivation fantasy like Cradle and post apocalypse LitRPG like Savage Awakening and Defiance of the Fall will enjoy.

Best Cultivation Series there is.
This is my favorite series in the entire progression fantasy genre not just cultivation series. This series does everything right, in the right balance, with a relentless pace and epic payoffs for the audience.
Book 5 does not disappoint.

A pretty good entry into the series
This is the first story that I've come across by this author barring any pen names that are unknown to me. Our main character needs to get strong fast and thus cue the time shenanigans. We've also got a desperate plan rolling into the ending. It is a pretty good ending so long as you don't read the epilogue. The epilogue puts a touch of a cliffhanger on this book. I'm wondering how many more books will show up in this series now that I'm at the End of This Book. I will admit there's a couple of things that the author chose to do that I definitely don't like. One is how he approached the princess. It's the strange blend of trying to make the audience understand why she is the way she is. There's some sympathy there and then the gentleman heaps a bunch of actions she takes to make you want to hater. The feeling I have though about the character is simply sadness. I'm not sure that's what he was going for.

Fantastic Must-Read Series
Rick Scott writes fast-paced and gripping stories with meaningful plot developments in every book. IMO this series is a must-read for Lit RPG fans who love action and great plot lines. As an enjoyer of many Lit RPG series, I feel Rick differentiates himself on how well he handles the power scale of the MC and keeping the plot moving as the MC Max develops. Rick also writes and publishes quickly, which I love because I love reading his books. Rick take care of yourself and keep releasing epic books!

Peak
Genuinely one of the best books I’ve read. And I’ve read many books. Kept me captivated enough to finish it in days. Only bad thing is that I wanted to read it so bad I decided to forgo doing other things I was supposed to do.

extremely satisfying
So much happens in this book. Plot lines come to a close. The ending is huge, and amazingly satisfying.
Yet Max has seemingly played right into the hands of the demon god, though he doesn’t know it. Waiting for book 6 now!

Amazing
This is probably the best cultivation book I've read in a long time and it has everything there, action, heart and an extremely likable hero.

What a fun read.
I like the way the MC, pulled himself together to become the berserker he wanted to save his family. He grew every book.

great installment
Nice continuation of plot. Great arcs with both the blood moons and with silver light. Can’t wait to see how this will end.
