The OP MC 4
God of Winning
Life as the God of Time is just awesome.
Not only am I a deity in this fantastical world, but now I’m also a Knight of Sorreyal, a Dragon Slayer, and the Archduke of my own duchy.
But not everyone is a fan of my success, and someone is trying to kill me from the shadows.
My enemies will soon learn I’m also the God of Winning.
And I never, ever lose.

Good read but taxing at times
I don't know if the author reads these reviews of not just let me while the storyline is enjoyable and the characters likable there are times this book became tedious. (Maybe a spoiler) As the main character works to set up his "oceans 11" scenario there were times the resets became tedious as you would have to re-read ( I am not opposed to reading good sex) him having sex with each of his women repeatedly while waiting for the story to unfold. I am thinking come on you got a mission here stay focused, alas he is the God of time so screw me he will do it his way, I should just shut up and read....The other thing that is annoying and probably only to me but his wife's constantly calling him great one is well really annoying. By the by I really can't stand George Clooney or his movies and since oceans 11 was actually a remake, of a 1960's film with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr and Peter Lawford. Maybe go with The Sting (Redford & Newman) or Mission Impossible.

The OP MC 4: Where Power Fantasy Meets Repetition Fatigue
Let's be honest: if you're picking up Book 4 of The OP MC, you're not here for a deep literary analysis of the human condition. You're here to see Bash, the self-proclaimed God of Time, be awesome, win impossible fights, and enjoy the company of his devoted women . The OP MC 4 delivers exactly that, doubling down on the power fantasy while introducing a fun, "Oceans Eleven"-style heist plot . However, this is also the book where the series' central gimmick—the time-loop reset—starts to feel less like a clever narrative device and more like a tedious crutch. It's a fun but flawed ride, earning a 3 out of 5 stars from this reader.
Key Themes
The Morality of an Unbeatable God: The book subtly grapples with the consequences of absolute power. Bash is undeniably the "good guy," but his methods are increasingly questionable. One insightful reviewer pointed out that in his quest for vengeance and wealth, he leaves entire towns destitute—widows, employees, and all—without a second thought, which feels "pretty grimy and short sighted for a 'good guy'" . The theme is explored through the collateral damage of his "perfect" victories.
Repetition as a Double-Edged Sword: This is both the core premise and the book's biggest narrative hurdle. The "chime" of a reset is Bash's superpower, allowing for intricate planning . However, the story often forces the reader to relive the same scenes, particularly intimate moments with his harem, which multiple reviewers found became "tedious" and led to skimming .
Strategic Brilliance vs. Brute Force: A prominent theme is Bash's growth from a brawler to a schemer. The central plot is a complex, undercover heist to dismantle an enemy duke from within, which many fans loved for its clever planning . Yet, this clashes with another critique: his puzzling reluctance to use the offensive magic he's learned, opting for swords even when magic would be more efficient .
Character Analysis
Bash (The God of Time/Great One): His development is static in terms of morality but expansive in terms of ambition. He's now an Archduke and a celebrated hero, but his personality remains arrogantly confident . The most significant growth is his shift toward elaborate strategy over direct confrontation. A minor but common irritation among readers is the constant, repetitive praise from his wives, with "Great One" becoming an annoying refrain .
The Harem (Elora, Mahini, Eva): They remain loyal, intelligent, and formidable allies in Bash's schemes . However, their characters largely serve to support and adore Bash. Their individual development takes a backseat to their role in the team's dynamic and the aforementioned repetitive romantic scenes.
The Antagonists: The shadowy enemy duke and his allies are classic power-hungry villains. They serve their purpose as obstacles for Bash to outsmart, but their motivations are rarely explored beyond greed and jealousy of Bash's success .
Writing Style & Pacing
Logan Jacobs' prose is straightforward and action-oriented, keeping the story moving. The tone is consistently boastful and celebratory of Bash's prowess, fitting the power fantasy genre. The real pacing issue, as echoed in several reviews, is structural . The heist plot is engaging, but it's punctuated by lengthy cycles of reset sequences. These segments, while meant to show Bash's meticulous effort, often grind the narrative momentum to a halt and pad the book's length unnecessarily. Some readers noted the beginning felt slow before the plot truly kicked in .
What I Liked & Disliked
Liked:
The Heist Plot: The "Oceans Eleven in a fantasy kingdom" concept is a blast. Watching Bash and his team concoct and execute a convoluted plan is the highlight .
Strategic Escalation: It's satisfying to see Bash use his power for complex schemes beyond just winning a duel. The book successfully raises the stakes from personal combat to political and economic warfare.
Niche Fun: When it leans into the action and clever planning, it delivers the exact brand of wish-fulfillment fans of the series crave.
Disliked:
The Repetition Problem: The time-reset mechanic has passed the point of diminishing returns. Reading near-identical scenes multiple times in one book is a major flaw .
Inconsistent Power Use: Bash's avoidance of powerful offensive magic in fights feels contrived, like an artificial way to maintain tension that his very power negates .
Moral Blind Spots: The story rarely pauses to let Bash (or the narrative) reflect on the broader consequences of his actions, which can make his "hero" status feel unearned.
Conclusion & Recommendation
The OP MC 4 is a solid but repetitive entry that will satisfy die-hard fans but likely frustrate newcomers or those growing weary of the formula.
Read this if: You're invested in Bash's journey and loved the previous books. You enjoy strategic, heist-style plots in your fantasy and don't mind skimming through repetitive sections to get to the good stuff.
Don't read this if: You're new to the series (start with Book 1), have a low tolerance for redundant scenes, or are hoping for deep character development or moral complexity. This is pure, unapologetic power fantasy.
Final Verdict: A fun but flawed installment. The clever heist plot is weighed down by the mechanical repetition of Bash's power. I'll continue with the series out of loyalty, but I really hope future books find a way to showcase his "God of Time" abilities without making the reader experience the same loop over and over.

Interesting, but getting tired
Liked the first few stories, but they ard getting a bit tired. Resetting to insure everything works out is fabulous, but Bash isnt considering unintended consequences. He overcame the plot to eliminate him, learned how to summon various animals and became quite rich. However, other than greed & the desire to keep the status quo, he still hasnt determined why the other dukes are willing to invite the god of time's wrath. While no one knows that he has the dukes wealth, he certainly took no thought that the magicians & the dukes wives are now destitute widows. While the magicians wife was an arrogant, gold digging bitch, the dukes wife was kindly, yet they were both screwed royally by Bash's actions. In addition, all the dukedoms employees are screwed as well since he didnt leave a single copper coin behind and so the town is likely to become destitute as well. Thats pretty grimy and short sighted for a "good guy" looking to help out with his awesome powers.
Moving on to the final book but hopefully the god of time will start to look further into the future than the next hour

Fantastic and cant wait for next installment
Fantastic story but was quite repetitive at some points I know it's his core power but in the previous books never felt dull in places. Also bash seems to completely forget he can use magic offensively. (SPOLIER AHEAD when he fights "bandits" he is alone surrounded by them and fights with a dagger when he can spew fire and ice at will. I expected him to super speed over spew fire toasting the enemy in an instant. I mean he can extinguish flames with his ice power so collateral damage not a worry. While typing this it maybe he wanted to keep the loot but don't know feels more like the last book had slot of magic use so this book has less flto balance maybe?) Overall great book and can not wait for the next installment.

Highly entertaining! Best one yet!
This series has always been one of the most intricate and action packed books I look forward to reading, and this, the fourth is even better.
We have a God of Time who can repeat as many times as he wants, 3 gorgeous, intelligent and strong women to help him.
Love the plot for this book, with our MC and his hatem investigating recent mercenary attacks against his home, and a heist of epic proportions.
Can't wait for the next one!

This series is good!
Book 4 was. It to my liking. I gave this 4 stars because I'm committed to the series and I like the characters but the last 150 pages were very boring and imo pointless. Why go to the point of learning magic and not use it. Every fight scene was just swords and chiming! i Am going to keep reading the series... please let him use some magic and build some civilization a little..

Sadly far too repetitive for my tastes
Since the plot centres around a rather arrogant guy who can rewind time, you expect a certain amount of repetition. But the construction of the story leads to more repetitions than is necessary to make the point, and with the sex scenes also being repetitive, I ended up skipping and scanning around a third of the book. It’s not unbearable, but it’s a weak entry in the series.

It's getting really good now
Hands down my favorite book in the series to date. The early books were a bit slow as Bash was developing his power. Now though, there is a lot more substance to what he does making the experience that much more enjoyable. Definitely looking forward to the next entry.

A whole new level of awesomeness!
Bash and is women head off on a journey to tach some upstarts not to mess with the God of Time/Great One. Epic adventures and lots of really cool ways in which Bash uses his powers to teach the bad guys a lesson or two. Now I need book 5 to see what happens next.

Love the pop culture references
Not spoil anything, but this may be my favorite of all of these so far! It really reminded me of the movie Jacobs references. Not a whole lot of stats in the litrpg facets, but enough to remind you of what kind of book this is. Can’t wait to read more

This series keeps getting better.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Bash is on the hunt for whoever that's threatening him and his people. He will make them pay when he finds them. The story and characters were engaging and intriguing. I look forward to reading more about these characters and their further adventures. This book is definitely worth reading.

Wow the amount of detail that went into this story was very clear. It is so cool watching how the different actions lead to different outcomes with his ability to rewind time

I would recommend to anyone who likes groundhog day or the upcoming Boss Level movies. The book continued on and I couldn't wait to get to the end chapters.
A very good addition to the series.

Another great one
I’m loving the series more and more. It’s awesome to see the way bash takes on each challenge. The only thing I would says is he should include ibis magic more in his fighting style

Oceans turned up to Eleven
What a fantastic addition to Bash’s journey. His role as a Danny Oceanesque character was absolutely entertaining. But now all I can think about is, where is Goliath?

Enjoyed. Simple read
Enjoyed it for what it is. A simple read that gets a bit slow and predictive but the characters are easy to read and..it is what it is.
The world and concepts to the story are good but needs to give the main character better realism.
