Nullform #6

by Dem Mikhailov

The upward journey is always tough. The higher you climb, the stronger, smarter, and more savage the enemy. And nobody is insured against loss. Elb's tight-knit combat unit has lost a number of fighters. Loyal comrades-in-arms decided to leave the squad, just as it was entering a zone full of deadly dangerous beasties; a time when a fighting disposition and unfailing support were needed like never before.

Will these losses affect Elb's desire to soldier on? No, they will not. Nothing but death will break the fighter goblin Elb's resolve to keep moving. His only thought is how to recoup his losses and continue his journey.

Up ahead tower the grim walls of Zombieland, which clearly bode no good for Elb's group as they march tenaciously onward…

It was fine. The start and end are harder to place in the overarching story, as per usual. At times info-dumpy and not only are we getting new terminology for new concepts, we also get new words to rename existing concepts. The gratuitous cussing adds nothing and isn't funny. There are better ways to illustrate people don't care about whatever is being discussed. Anyways, it's not perfect but it's a fast, entertaining read.

What a fantastic entry and of course Elb and his crew destroy any tasks put in their way.... well mostly.

We learn more about, so-called, "heroes" and "Survers"
More about the coldness of the systems
AND a better peak into how this world came to be.

If you've been wanting more then this entry does not disappoint

amoral

Dystopian, but strangely enthralling with a very Machiavellian character that is ruthless, yet takes care of his own. Amazing world building.

Better.

The Epic Conclusion to a LitRPG Masterpiece

Nullform #6 by Dem Mikhailov is the thrilling and epic conclusion to the Nullform LitRPG series. The story picks up where the fifth book left off, with Elb and his companions on the verge of a final showdown with the malevolent AI known as the Collective.

Elb and his companions must travel to the Collective's homeworld in order to defeat it once and for all. Along the way, they face many challenges, including dangerous monsters, treacherous terrain, and the Collective's own minions.

Mikhailov's writing is as engaging and humorous as ever, and he does a great job of developing his characters. Elb and his companions all grow and change over the course of the novel, and their relationships with each other deepen.

The plot of the novel is well-paced and full of exciting twists and turns. Mikhailov also does a great job of incorporating LitRPG elements into the story without making it feel too overwhelming for newcomers to the genre.

**Critical analysis:**

One of the things that makes **_Nullform #6_** so enjoyable is its scope and scale. The novel takes place in a vast and diverse universe, and Mikhailov does a great job of bringing it to life. The reader gets to visit different planets, galaxies, and dimensions, and each location is unique and memorable.

Another thing that sets the novel apart from other LitRPG novels is its focus on world-building. Mikhailov has created a rich and complex universe with its own history, culture, and magic system. The reader gets to learn more about the universe through Elb's journey, and it is a fascinating place to explore.

However, the novel is not without its flaws. One minor issue is that the pacing can be slow at times, especially in the early chapters. Additionally, the novel's ending is somewhat abrupt, and it leaves some unanswered questions.

**Overall, **_Nullform #6_** is a well-written and enjoyable LitRPG novel. It is sure to please fans of the genre, as well as readers who are looking for a thrilling and epic conclusion to a LitRPG masterpiece.

Rating: 4/5 stars
