World of the Changed #3
Noa in the Flesh
The World of the Changed, still going strong! A sister kidnapped, a powerful enemy right around the corner, and Earth under the thumb of the monsters. What else is it going to take to become a true hero and save humanity? The only problem is that Mark Derwin has bigger problems, focused as he is on finding Squirrel, his sister. And he has to make sure she's still the same person she always was rather than a chunk of noa. He's prepared to do anything, go to any lengths to make that happen, including working with the game. But not with the game owner. Mark has quite the litany of questions for that character.

Zaskoczyło mnie to, jak bardzo mi się ten tom podobał w stosunku do dwóch poprzednich! Wciąż nie jest to moja ulubiona seria i zdecydowanie wolałabym, żeby bohater nie był tak idealny i wszystko mu się udawało, ale mimo to fajnie się słuchało i przyjemnie spędziłam czas i jestem zadowolona z tego, jak wszystko się potoczyło. Zakończenie trochę sugeruję, jakby miało być coś jeszcze i chętnie wróciłabym kiedyś do tego świata :)

Dwie pierwsze całkiem git, a ta ostatnia przekminiona za bardzo

To już jest chyba autora popisowa sygnatura, że główny bohater robi idiotów z wyżej postawionych przeciwników XD W tej książce zdarzyło się to parę razy i za każdym można było parsknąć śmiechem. Oczywiście Mark nie byłby sobą, gdyby przy okazji samego siebie nie wyrolował, ale co zrobisz. Ważne, że ostatecznie doprowadza do swego.
Historia gry na ziemi została doprowadzona do końca. Obcy jak zawsze nie docenili uporu ludzi, przez co musieli cierpieć. Jednak historia Marka się nie kończy. To, że autor zostawił sobie taką szeroką furtkę do kontynuacji jest super. Z chęcią przeczytam o kolejnej rozgrywce z udziałem tego bohatera. Na tę jednak porę to bym chciała kolejną, zupełnie inną powieść od twórcy. Bardzo mnie ciekawi jakie on jeszcze ma pomysły.

Most of the details went over my head near the end, shit got too complex XD but in a good way

Pomijając cały Plot armor to możemy się dobrze bawić, końcówka jest strasznie przyspieszona ale na swój sposób satysfakcjonująca. Jeśli komuś podobała się 1 i 2 to warto dokończyć serie.

Satisfying conclusion to this with a small but..
The ending was satisfying if a bit underwhelming. I loved the pacing as it kept me engaged and interested the whole time. I love the nonstop action. My only complaint is that at times out clever MC seems to forget the tools at his disposal and acts just a little but stupid during these times it forced me out of the immersion to shake my head at the stupidity of it all. These times seen to coincide with the author wanting to divert the plot in different direction or conclude a current plotline. All in all this book is worth thread if you'd made it this far.

I hate trying to write reviews because there are really only pass/fail results for me. Did I make it all the way through? Yes? 5 stars. No? There would be nothing here to read. In all fairness, if an author holds my attention from page one to the end, they’ve done their job. Anything less than 5 stars is petty criticism from someone incapable of even doing the job let alone doing a better one.
So in respect for the author and their work, I am going to start pasting this along with a generic review I found somewhere. “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
Now, since I have to keep explaining myself to people who don't like my reviews, I guess some clarification is in order.
1. I am 100% against criticism for works of art. Art is subjective, meaning reviews are irrelevant. The observer's opinion is only relevant to the observer. It is my belief that regardless of what others might say, I have to experience the art for myself.
2. I read upwards of 20 books a month. The $10/month I spend on K U, feels like I am cheating the authors. But since I can't afford 20 books a month if I were to purchase them directly, all I can offer is a positive review. That leads us to the final point.
3. If I get to the end of a book, then it was worth my time. I give those books 5 stars because it helps the author get exposure. That is the only reason I write reviews at all.
I understand that people are people and they are going to do what they do regardless of my stance. I know the way that I review books upsets some people. I am sorry they feel that way but as many have said, they will just ignore my review going forward. In fact, if you made it this far through my review, you should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews here. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
Cheers

"Świat przeistoczonych Tom 3 : Spersonifikowane Noa" Wasilij Machanienko
No cóż, to jest jednak Machanienko i nikt tak nie pisze zakończeń, jak on, kończąc jednocześnie i dając nadzieję na kolejny tom. Całkiem jak etapy w grze komputerowej. Nie jestem nawet zaskoczona, że mi się podobało.
Jest sporo zwrotów akcji, a poziom szczęścia bohatera jest jak zawsze wysoki. Walka z kosmitami wydaje się na początku łatwa i przyjemna dla naszego obrońcy, ale nic bardziej mylnego. Władca tej wersji gry ma bowiem asa w rękawie – a jest nim Wiewiórka, siostra Marka, a on sam musi wybrać – czy ma ratować siostrę, czy Ziemię.
Zakończenie serii jest zdecydowanie lepsze niż drugi tom. Szybka akcja nie pozwala się nudzić, choć nadal nie dorównuje "Drodze Szamana". To jednak kawał dobrej literatury RPG. Dlatego, mimo że nie do końca są to moje klimaty gier – bo to w końcu gra, choć pisana z wyobraźnią – to można się wciągnąć w sam środek akcji i nie narzekać na jej brak. Zdecydowanie sięgnę po kolejne książki Machanienki.

Trzeci i ostatni tom z serii " Świat Przeistoczonych ". Oceniając ten tom i cała serię - bardzo przyjemnie się to czytało, dużo zwrotów akcji, postaci tarapatów i rozwiązań, tychże problemów. Udało mi się wyłapać jedynie dwa nawiązania czy do do samego autora w 3 części, czy nawiązania do poprzedniej serii autora z której zasłynął, czyli serii " Droga Szamana ".
Podsumowując, przyjemna, wciągająca i dająca fun z czytania seria.
5.0⭐
PS. Ten sposób bardzo mocno widać w 2 części; We need more mines...

Ogromny chaos na zakończenie. Miałem wrażenie, że połączono tutaj chyba ze 100 różnych wątków. Z jednej strony fajnie, że zostały domknięte te z poprzednich części cyklu, natomiast ilość nowych ścieżek i dojście do finału po prostu przytłaczało.
Mark jak zawsze epicki do bólu. Szczerze miałem już trochę dość jego szczęśliwych zbiegów okoliczności. Rozumiem, że to była Gra, ale nawet w niej uważam, że powinny być jakieś nieprzekraczalne reguły.
Cały cykl uważam za dobry. Przyjemne chwile spędzone z Markiem Dervine'm i dużo akcji. Zakończenie otwarte zachęcające do gdybania co dalej.

I have had enough. The story really got increasingly painful to read for me the more convoluted it became.
The protagonist follows the footsteps of Alice in the Wonderland - don´t put everything you find into your mouth you buffoon!! - and becomes a walking disaster. The steadily increasing odds have killed all relatability and makes the story feel like a weird fever dream..

Book 3 of the World of Change series. This is the end of this Arc of the series. It is well done and exciting to the end. One interesting game works functions that took the place of the standard cultivation path. Insane level gains seem to be negated by everyone around him just getting stronger at a faster rate. Overall for the series I did enjoy it, but this one was defiantly odd in some areas and disturbing in others. Caution recommended for sensitive readers.

Ciężko mi ocenić tę książkę. Pod pewnymi względami była dość monotonna. Pewne wątki i rozwiązania sytuacji mega sztuczne. Akcja.. było jej tyle, że wiele scen i wątków było sztucznie pośpieszonych. Szczerze powiedziawszy zakończenie też nie przypadło mi do gustu. Chociaż miałem frajdę zagłębiając się w tę książkę, muszę też szczerze przyznać, że jest jej daleko do ideału.

Different but excellent
There have been all kinds of mechanics tried for litrpg. This one is unique, a little off the wall, and a completely different direction that most of Mahanenko s books but I like all his work and this was no exception.

Well done ending to the series. Leaves it open for a spinoff series too, I like that. Most (if not all) of your questions about the game and it's participants are all answered in this final book in the series. If you liked the first two books, you should enjoy this one as well.

I loved this book series, the rules of the "system" were very unique and rather interesting. I enjoyed the way the character constantly got 1 step ahead and 2 steps back, it was a great book series and I enjoyed all 3 parts of it. Thanks.

Yet another home run
Love everything Vasily writes. Yet to find one of his stories that I didn’t like. If you have read books one and two, you will enjoy this one as well !

Good Ending
Nice to end a series after 3 books, some series just keep on going on and on. Great world building and lots of action.

Ending seemed rushed, entire book was just focused on adding new points rather than quests and such, it was fine but book 2 was definitely better.

The series was a as amazing
The enjoyed my time with Mark, how it ended it looks like it has another story that follows. I will try to find it. I did find one word of Russian in it, or at least the characters were Russian.
