Another fun interesting quick read.
Overall I have enjoyed the series. This is a bit of a change up compared to the previous books but was interesting nonetheless. the series is told in third person omniscient point of view with the first two books being present tense narration and the last four being past tense. The past tense flows much more smoothly I think. There is a bit of head hopping at times but for the most part it is clear whose head you hopped into. In the beginning continuity was very strong and it still remains strong but there are some slip-ups here and there. I was glad to see at least he had a short line mentioning and enchanted ring he gained at the end of the first book. Considering how advantageous that ring was supposed to be it's pretty much gone by the wayside since book 2.
I do think the last few books he's leaned more heavily into the RPG factor. The mentioning of health bars Mana bars and almost a name health reading and level of enemies sort of point of view. Not a big fan of that because starting off while it did have a measure of RPG it was still more fantasy. I think if it started out with the stronger mix of RPG it would have been okay but considering what has been added in the 4th 5th and 6th book of the series it does feel a bit awkward considering the slight format change.
In the past few books also a certain character who used to refer to fellow adventurers as "hero" then their names now are calling them "friend" then their names. Is something small a minor but it was a character quirk that changed without explanation in the past couple books.
Truthfully that's a bit nitpicky because the series is a fast fun read it is full of action and a bit of character moments but not much. There are no relationships or romance really any longer in the story. not that there was much in the first place. The humor is still there to a point but the story is very much a plug and play quick read for fun series.
I am more interested in martial arts cultivation stories or normal epic fantasy urban fantasy paranormal fantasy top literature but this genre does have some good storytelling possibilities in it. The thing is is keeping the balance between the literary and the rpg. Without the actual framing of a game it is distracting when enemies have health bars for no particular reason since there's no gaming setup for that in a dungeons & dragons type world. I guess I just have to get used to the series or genre better set.
Once more the series is young adult and above and if you enjoy tabletop we're playing games I think you can get into it a bit.

Good but again needs reviewing
Very good story and love the characters but again the grammar and spelling needs work, gets very annoying having to re-read sentences also not staying in-line with the other books e.g. Asin has greens eyes in the other books but this book she has violet eyes?

Nothing particularly i didn't like but it is a grinding story and I just do not get into them .
New acquaintances, farewells to others. Time to decide what is next.
The consequences of the gift grows ever more painful and damaging.

Another great addition to the series
Even outside of the dungeons the drama and excitement continues. This was another great exploration of the world of Brad outside of the dungeon norm. I appreciate the struggles each character deals with. Now, on to the next book.

This book was even better than the last two. Good Job.

Another great book in the series, although this one feels like less is getting done than the previous one. Most likely due to the fact that the previous book finished in such a nice note, with a lot of intrigue and potential and then that gets "walled over" fairly quickly in the story.
It feels a lot like the questing book in the series as opposed to the dungeon dive we've enjoyed so far.
Nonetheless, it's really well crafted and we continue to see the struggle of the MC as he juggles advancement, development and his Gift usage. Really cool series overall.

Another good story
Enjoyable read that is well paced and interesting diversion from the usual dungeon diving. More interesting skills discovered and new monsters to fight. Look forward to the next adventure 😁

A good series
The series started out rough, but steadily improved. The characters are realistic, show development, and inner conflict. Definitely worth reading.
