Trying to decide how I feel about the ending, feels incomplete
To some degree, the ending to this series was always a forgone conclusion. The game would trap the players and the world of Generica Online would be established for the adventures of Chase and Threadbare. About a third of the way through the book, I was waiting for that plotline to kick in. It does so near the very ending of the book, with us suddenly getting a lot of new info on the origins of dragons, two big bads converging plans, and then it's all basically over, except that they stop shy of it. Rich's fate is basically unknown at the end of the book and Null'https seems still active. I'm left wondering if there's another trilogy planned, or maybe an interquel.

Other people have said this in their reviews, but this series is really left unfinished. The end was abrupt and left essentially everything on a cliffhanger. It quite literally gets to and starts the final confrontation only to not finish it.... I can't see any reason why the author would do that. A lot of questions regarding Generica Online were answered, but it's just a very unsatisfying conclusion to the amount of time put into reading/listening the series.

The finale of the Blasphemy Online trilogy.
This is probably the volume where knowledge of the second Generica trilogy will affect the reader the most. But while this will give you an idea of where the people playing the bootleg "MMO" will end up, it still doesn't address the how, who and why, which is what the book is about. The main characters have to thread plots, powerful enemies (including gods), and try to salvage the situation as best as they can.
The resolution is not what you'd expect, as it still leaves things hanging, but if you've read Small Medium, you would know that already. As it is, it makes for the perfect complement to the other trilogy, leaving only Threadbare lightly unconnected.

Intriguing but frustrating.
That was a rollercoaster of an ending that wasn’t a true ending, a huge lore dump into a set of series of a series that I wasn’t expecting and a constant nagging that there are many parts to this puzzle. I know there were moments when I felt that I was reading the books in the wrong order and yet knew that if I had started with this series a lot of the mystical side of the early series would be lost. I will be very interested to see where this all leads and what Legions end goal is.

Enjoyable with excellent pacing - *but* a lot of confusing lore-dumping, and the series ends on a cliffhanger. The epilogue mentions Threadbare, though of course this storyline doesn't pick up there - I'm thinking there's going to be a new series that fits in after Threadbare and Small Medium. But yeah. Really confused by the ending, which made very little sense to me.

Yeah I'm kind of on the fence about the ending. I feel Andrew Seiple's books tend to start out a little slow, then get better and better then really good, and then start to go downhill and then you end up at the last chapter or two and he just wraps everything up fast and with crazy revelations and such. Book 3's ending left me annoyed. Do not read further if you haven't yet read the book. But I will say, if you've read books 1 or 2 in this series, there's nothing I can say for or against book 3 that should convince you not to read book 3. You simply need to finish the series. So do so. Then come back here.
*SPOILERS* What the heck does that divine healing spell do? They made a fuss about it and couldn't figure out it's implications or where and how they'd need it but felt it was important, but then it never got used? What about that GodSpell: Error spell, why did they get it, what does it do, why did they never use it or test to see what it does? How can you leave 1/2 the main character dying at the end of the book and the only slight chance/promise that Midian can get to the mirror, get back into the dungeon, somehow enter the emperors level, somehow jump into the void, somehow get transported to wherever, somehow enter the time stopped area, somehow end up transported to wherever the heck the Dragons are, etc. They were nested so deeply into things, the chances of Midian getting back to them seemed slim at best. And if she doesn't do it, or doesn't do it fast enough, Rich dies. Oh, and then "The end". And instead of Legion the AI screwing him over or Cutter the human and former operative screwing him over, they both do but in different ways?
Nice ending... Sigh. I would not consider this a "happy ending" more like "ok wth..." kind of ending. And the whole generica online is now more dream than reality? Wth... And instead of saving the awesome Dragon God who I really liked, and who was the main task since book 1, they only manage to free him so he can die? Ahhh! I hope there will be a book 4 to tie up these loose ends but I don't think one is coming. Left to you, the reader, to determine what happens between the ending of this book and the beginning of the Threadbare book series.

Too many pieces to the puzzle.
This series was really growing on me during the last book and the beginning of this one, but I started to find myself getting more lost in the muddle of converging plotlines and newly revealed lore. I haven't read the other series set in this setting, so maybe I'm missing an essential piece or two? I can't tell.
The unfinished ending and lack of time spent with the resolution of both Rich/Rotgoriel really hampered it. Kind of felt like the plot was left ambiguous and the character resolutions were questionable at best. Remaining tension and unresolved problems still lingered by the end. If there was a book 4, I'd totally be willing to take it all back and wait patiently for its release

Mind blown: Don't read another review if you know you are going to read this book
Andrew Seiple published the first book of the first trilogy of this epic in 2017. The clues were there from the start.
How deep does this rabbit hole go? ...it's turtles all the way down.
-NON SPOILER REVIEW-
Yeah. it's worth the long climb to get to this summit and look back down on where you started with fresh eyes.

It was so good I couldn't stop reading
I just love the whole dragon mind body swap but I'm sad and tad hurt that it ended I felt there was still more to the story . But I guess not but on another note that last word at the end of the book saying threadbare It makes me wonder if it sort of continues the story with rich and rotagila in that series but I won't know until I can get my hands on the first book.

The story was great and has the same feel to it as the first two books. The ending feels extremely rushed and has the feeling of an author given up and pushing it out. So i am subtracting one star from would have been a five.

Really good book and story, fully enjoyed it. I thought this was going to be the final of the series but it seems like the story may continue, here's hoping anyway!!

Not the ending I expected, but a solid one. Now time to listen to the new Threadbare! 👍🏽👍🏽

Part way through the book one of the characters quoted from one of my favorite scenes from a sci-fi series.
Automatic 4 star rating.
