About the author
S.D. McKittrick
36 books25 followersI like to keep my bio simple. A few updates and a small mention that all of my books have a tinge of romance involved.
Ashen Realm: Book two will be coming out at the beginning of February. The third book is nearly ready as well. I'm hoping to have it published in April.
Fenrir's series; I will be releasing the fourth book at the beginning of the year around March.
Dimension Dungeon 3 is in the works still. I'm not sure when I'll get it out, but know that I am working on it.
World Champion has been launched, and the second book will be out near the beginning of the year. There will not be a preorder for it, so keep an eye out.

first of all i must say that this book like many of the author's other books is a FTB. author added the harem to litrpg to just increase the page count and subsequently butchered both genres and didn't deliver in any of them. if this was done purely litrpg it would have been a good revenge story but why add harem if you're afraid to go all the way, just don't write half ass sh#t. either write a good harem plus some spice or just delete it completely and write litrpg and don't play the middle.

About the diologue
Whst others refer to as "teenage conversation," is what would call "playfully antagonistic." Though it's dead pan and lack a certain level of consideration.
For good or ill, that's the majority of the banter. Take that as you will.
Other than that, a pretty decent power progression story.

Excellent read
Well crafted plot, excellent job telling the story without too much filler or too many intimate scenes to drown out the actual story. One of the better harem lit I've read.

Great new series from this author.
I really enjoyed this book. I like most of what this author puts out and this book I initially read on Royal Road. The KU version is cleaned up and polished. Fantastic book.

The book was good
The story is good the unique power system is kool but I don't really care the the ma's personality or all the women they are all pretty rude and inconsiderate which really kills the story for me

Great read
Good character development with a new twist on cultivation. Lots of action and friendly banter. Steady MC progression and world building.

This review will update as I continue the story.
I like the banter between the James and Luna. Giving the love interest the same abilities as the protagonist did put me off somewhat. I feel like the power should be unique to James or at least the system part. One aspect of a protagonists likability is their unique relationship with the magic system. What makes them special and why should we pay attention to their story?
I also question the ease in which he was able to grant Luna the soul siphon ability despite all evidence to the contrary suggesting his abilities are the product of years of accumulated research and experimentation. Did Luna manifest a system because of him or do all people who awaken soul cultivation manifest a system? These are important questions since they determine how unique the protagonist is relative to other cultivators.
Edit: The story lost me when he started revealing his secrets to the cultivators he recently befriended. I assume as the story continues, the protagonist will spread soul cultivation to his allies. I am sorry for saying this but I am starting to lose interest.
They left the city without confronting the giant boss monster in its center. I hope they come back to kill it after visiting the sect.
