How many stupid choices can an MC make in one book?
This MC was a simple but solid guy. He's never been a rocket scientist but also he's never been this stupid before.
I'm serious, I haven't seen an MC this stupid since I read my last Xander Jade book.

Introduction:
Greetings, fellow beings of HowlStrom. I am Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf of our icy realm. As the winter season grips our world once every century, I find solace in the tales from other worlds. Today, I bring forth my thoughts on an intriguing tale from a realm far different from ours - "Four Laws #6: Back to Yonder" by David Burke.
Basic Plot Summary:
The tale revolves around Rob, a man who has found a home in Olimero. However, life isn't simple for him. From rival gangs to jealous gods, from an expanding family to a tournament, Rob's life is a whirlwind of events. As he navigates these challenges, he ponders on the essence of home and where he truly belongs.
Analysis/Evaluation:
The story is a blend of fantasy and harem genres, with a touch of the unexpected. The narrative is rich, weaving a tapestry of events that keep the reader engrossed. The world-building is commendable, with Olimero painted as a town of intrigue and mystery.
Characters:
Rob, the protagonist, is a multi-faceted character. His journey from an outsider to someone deeply entwined with Olimero's fate is captivating. His wives, each with their unique interests, add depth to the story. The gods, with their whims and fancies, play a crucial role, making the tale unpredictable.
Structure:
The story flows seamlessly, with each event leading to the next. The author has skillfully intertwined multiple plotlines, ensuring that the reader's interest never wanes.
Impact:
The tale left a profound impact on me. It made me ponder on the essence of home and belonging. Is home a place, or is it where our heart finds peace? Rob's journey resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of place, making it a universally relatable story.
Hook and Thesis:
The hook of the story lies in its unpredictability. Just when you think you've figured it out, a twist awaits. The underlying thesis seems to be the exploration of the concept of home and where one truly belongs.
Praise and Critique:
I applaud the author for crafting a tale that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is engaging. However, some reviews suggest inconsistencies in character decisions, which might be a point of contention for some readers.
Evaluation:
Overall, "Four Laws #6: Back to Yonder" is a commendable addition to the world of fantasy literature. It offers a blend of action, intrigue, and introspection, making it a must-read.
Comparison:
While the tale is unique in its essence, it does remind me of some of the epic sagas of HowlStrom, where heroes embark on journeys, facing challenges, both external and internal.
Conclusion:
In the icy realms of HowlStrom, where the winter grips our world, tales like these provide warmth to our souls. "Four Laws #6: Back to Yonder" is a tale worth delving into. It offers a journey of self-discovery, challenges, and the eternal quest for belonging. I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, highly recommend it to all.
May the icy winds of HowlStrom guide you to your next great adventure.

I like a good popcorn read as much as the next guy and this series has been pretty lacking in quality since the first book but has been entertaining enough to pass the time.
This time the characters are making foolish decisions that are somewhat out of character but entirely ignorant of what the characters already know and have experienced throughout their lives. For example, we have an experienced ex-police officer who knows for a fact that they're dealing with a being that's insane and predictably violent who wouldn't think twice about bringing in innocents into their conflict, and yet, this highly predictable and repeatedly mentioned sadistic character trait never crosses his mind as something to be wary of even though they fought within the last few in universe days. Or not expecting people to have mind control powers when he himself and others recently have been effected by similar powers. But all of that would give our MC a set of knowledge and experience that would have lead him to not take the vast majority of actions he's taken in this book.
All of the above is really just a long winded way of saying that the author clearly couldn't think about how the characters would naturally get to those places he wanted them to without ham fisting things that make very little sense based on 5 previous books worth of world and character building.
I'm not sure if I DNF'ing the series or not yet because as I said before, I've enjoyed the previous books for what they are and I do like a light popcorn read in between other titles but if the author isn't able to at least keep things a little bit consistent then it's going to make things very difficult to keep enjoying these stories.
But that's just my opinion on it, your mileage may vary.

Another fun read as the MC gets closer to bring an immortal whilst the gods play their games
Continuing to enjoy the story as Rob levels up. I especially liked how the fae were added to the saga, being vicious litte monsters trying to avoid extinction. Sema turned out to be a frenemy, Delicia is simmering on the back burner and Gamia and her cohorts made a very bad decision to go after Lina and Robbie (way to go Lina). It will be interesting to see how those dramas play out, especially since Sema has helped Rob, so would be closer to him than her mom and there will certainly be blowback for Gamia's actions. Can Rob develop an agreement with Delicia for the predatory fae race, or would Olimero be better off if they were to be extinct?
On the home front, more children are in the cards and Nimeera and Betsy are joining the fam. I continue to root for Nimeera and am glad shes being accepted.
One Direction is training up not one but two captured humans as a resource to combat Rob's influence. The humans dont appear to be much of a threat (yet), but magic is a game changer and there are still powerful hidden players lurking in the shadows. Of course the gods all have an agenda besides, dont let Old Scratch get Rob and have offered big rewards for his allegiance. They are all excited and threatened by his progress on the cultivation path, as he has become a dual cultivating creation mage on the way to becoming an immortal and perhaps more.

Pretty Solid Series Entry
Alternate universe, LitRPG cultivation, harem adult situations
Sheriff Rob Case and his wives encounter new challenges in book 6. The usual number of errors for an indie writer. For most part, enjoyed the story, though the author using excessive consonants at the end for sex dialog was a let down. Nemeera is a cat girl; having her purring while convulsing with pleasure is more cat-like than using a cheesy trope. This was the first time it was used and I beg you, please stop.
The actions by the demoness should have earned Old Scratch a flat rejection, but thus far, surprisingly not. Two new ladies for Rob to court. Look forward to the promised book 7.

As the MC has finally hoisted aboard that this is not Earth and that things work differently, his behavior wasn't painful like some of the previous books. Good forward progress, but there are a lot of characters now. The author makes a point of splitting the MC's story away and putting a couple of the wives on the back burner while Rob is out of town.
I think we're getting close to the end of this story, as Rob only has so much progress left to make. There is also only so big the "harem" can get before it's unwieldy, and we're brushing against that point now. There's at least one more good book in this story, and apparently we'll see that late in Q4.

Exciting, Thrilling and hard to stop!
An amazing series that gets better the further you read.
When I initially started reading the series, it was a fun and interesting read, but could be a bit slow with the MC focused on training and still holding to the values he had on earth.
But as Rob has developed and the series has progressed, it has become more excitable and thrilling to read, with enth of outrageous and fun behaviour, scheming deities and plenty of twists and turns.
And of course, this latest book is simply outstanding with the events and actions driving the story forward
I simply cannot wait for the next book!

Another solid chapter
Overall pretty well done. I like some of the things done, and am curious the fallout of events that happened.
I'm on the fence for 3 or 4 stars. It's really 3.5? It would be solid 4 but for the talk of editing there was just enough errors still to irritate. Still, it wasn't full of errors and I appreciate the care taken if not perfect.
There is definitely set up for him gaining another couple wives next book, will be looking forward to to the next installment

Become one with the journey
Great story, great plot, lots of action and most importantly for me, love the progression. However, I would love to see more integration of his newer abilities into his repertoire. I felt there was something lacking about some of his skill concepts he'd picked up from the previous book hadn't been utilized well. This is nit picky, because the overall story was great, but it's something I felt needed to be mentioned.

Love this series
Another great read in this excellent series. Our MC is getting stronger and stronger without almost killing himself every other breakthrough and is finding his stride in this new world. Can’t wait for book 5 in hopefully a long running series.

Another great read
I do wish we had more different views (from Robs wives ) their struggles with their characters and their growth with new powers. I think he is getting OP, but will the other Humans start to grow? Will yondertown become the next city? Can he conquer another city?

Always a hoot and a holler.
Always a hoot and a holler. I always read these too fast and then get to put my “I want to finish now” on hold for the next part of the story to come out.

Nice to see the MC'S family grow to OP along with the MC
Rob's family is growing in power along with him. It's great to see that they aren't just background characters, but are all important to the overall story. Loving this world!

Robert case is slowly becoming a god. He's faster,stronger, more durable,and somewhat wiser than the people of olimero. Not only that,but his wives are growing stronger as well.

Going Downhill
This book seemed to meander through multiple plots, with the Sheriff's Robs gains getting much easier to make it much more dramatic jumps. The opposite of what you'd expect or want as he reaches higher and higher levels of power.
A highlight, the fight with the sand dragon and phoenixes.
For the most part getting to far into only challenges/conflicts remaining being the "gods".
