Eight #2
The Way of the Hunter
Can Eight handle his biggest challenge yet? Civilization.
He’s carved a home out in the wilderness, and met its inhabitants—killing some and making friends with others. Things are looking downright cozy, in a bushcraft kind of way, but there’s a village to the east with tools, resources, and new magic to learn. That’s all incredibly tempting when living among the wild things.
Where there are people though, there are complications, including the murder-y kind.
Add a few ghosts, giant beasts, and a new god too, and... well... life’s hard for an old man trapped in a young boy’s body. And things are about to get much, much tougher. Still, all that wisdom and experience have to count for something, right?
Eight: The Way of the Hunter is a novel that’s part mystery, part ghost story, and all adventure.

Wow... what a follow up to book 1!
As gaming literature/LitRPG goes, we see our main character Eight/Ollie making more human connections, gaining strength physically and with his magic. He learns more about the world he's in and how he needs to change some of his old mindset to better fit into this society. I just really loved everything I read. There wasn't a lull anywhere in the book and the only time I felt disappointment was when I reached the end.

Good continuation of the story. I'm not sure that I like how the mc reveled some of his secrets, but overall it was still a good book.

Another 4.5. Writing and overall execution is excellent, it just loses a bit (again) to differentiate it from stories that I enjoyed a bit more.
I see a lot of traffic about how "inclusive" this is, how it's great that a "person of colour's" story is being told. I frankly don't see the relevance to it being a good read or not. Yes, I'm aware that the MC has a different background than I do. Do I care? No. Would this story be lesser if the main character was of Anglo-Saxon heritage and/or transmigrated into a "white" body? Something tells me that to a whole lot of people who really need better hobbies, the answer would be "yes".
The author makes no big issue of the colour of the MC, although [a selected part of his] ethnicity is a factor which plays a significant role in the story as it goes along. That's about as much as someone's background should play in a story, at least if you want one that most people want to read. Woke books focusing on race and a "racialized experience" are not appealing to me, nor to a lot of other people looking for entertainment. YMMV of course.
Aside from that rant, I will read a third book if one should come along.

So is book 3 ready yet? lol
I really enjoyed this. Eight continues to progress and develop interesting talents. Towards the end we get an awesome glimpse of what the future has in store for Eight.
I didn’t love the murder mystery focus this book had. Not that it wasn’t well done, just gave it a completely different vibe from book 1.
Hoping book 3 focuses more on the spirit aspect of his powers. I think that would be refreshing and intriguing.

This has lost momentum.
The village is a noise around the MC's neck, it never feels like a way to progress story. The children from book one are lost in the background, and that is truly terrible. The simplistic story from book one highlighting the character development was what made this series wonderfully unique. I hope book three recaptured that magic.

Eight is worth the time
Story pulls you in, worth your time. Concepts of family and self are well put together and unexpected in a fantasy novel. looking forward to the next installment.

5 So You Better Find A Way To Live Forever Stars
Eight 2 is the second book in A LitRPG Adventure The Way Of The Hunter series by Samer Rabadi.
I only wish I could continue delving into this journey. Eight and Yuki's development together, and within this world is so fascinating. As we experience the world building expanding. I hope the next book unearths more on the glimpse of Albei and further reaches outside of Voorhaei.
It is satisfying for everything to have concluded so flawlessly. The obstacles and path to reach such cohesion was entertaining, and flowed beautifully. It's something of a slow burn approach, but there is never a lack of intrigue or draw to continue discovering the next tidbit of hidden information.
I wonder what the hidden purpose of Dirikrot's boon upon Eight's reincarnation? It seems adding his consciousness to the World System has introduced practices to this world that people are rushing to understand and utilize. At least that's what I suspect, and if that's the case, maybe it was breathe new life and advancement into a way of life that reached a plateau?
I am concerned about Borba's treatment... And that they are basically imprisoning him in case they need him in the future... I can only see this having consequences.. And I'm not sure I trust the now diminished Lodge Master's intentions of not turning...
I'm dreaming of Felix and Oscar becoming friends with Aluali and Billisha! It is so entertaining to witness Ifkael's slowly growing care and love for Eight, even as she fights this change... And how precious she is with her cute otter mannerisms.

Wow. Surprisingly good!
The vast majority of books in this genre are written by young men, or even teenagers. This is just fine, of course, I am not complaining. Also, 95 percent of them feel as if they were rushed into print, with only minimal editorial review. And most of them contain a lot of "racy bits", even pornography. Again, I am not complaining, I like that sometimes too. The near universal sexism I could do without, however.
This series is very different. Not a drop of sexism anywhere. No typos or inconsistencies. No R-rated or X-rated parts. The depth of wisdom is real to life. No young author could possibly write a story like this.
The story itself is very well written and I love the fact that the main character is 8 years old. The characterization is very well fleshed out, and the people are complicated and seem real.
The world building is done quite well. It doesn't take center stage, and is pretty easy to follow.
I would recommend this to readers of all ages.

EIGHT is positively a 10
After 55 years of reading Sci-fi and Fantasy starting with the Hobbit, Farmer Giles of Ham and other Tolkien novels, then immediately diving into the Lord of the rings trilogy, I never looked back. I went to an Isaac Asimov talk one time and had the great pleasure to briefly meet him and shake his hand. During the lecture he made a comment that he had written one novel and it was a successful enough that he just sat down and immediately wrote as many more as he possibly could. He was being funny but in a way it was true. Well after reading his novels I immediately sat down and read as many more as I possibly could and I'm not being funny. I've literally read thousands of books and I can say without a doubt that Eight is right up there with the best. I won't give anything away other than to say that it's in the RPG category but it's about as far away from most RPG books as you can get... It's far more evolved for lack of a better word. This is RPG meets Heinlein's The Number of the Beast and the Lord of the Rings.

It's a good book but this dude sometimes refuses to act his age sometimes ....and whats with him and always referencing his abuelo like you are an adult too...act like it it's irritating and annoying
February 5, 2023
2.5 to 3 stars , not as good as the first book and was a little boring at times.
September 30, 2022
September hasn't been a great month for my work goals. I managed to spend a few hours working after completing the first book, and then couldn't resist the temptation of starting the second one. Thankfully, this is an ongoing series and the third one isn't published yet.
The second book started with Eight finally going to the village and joining the hunter's lodge for training and stuff. The plot stakes continued to be personal, though there were hints that it might encompass the world by the end of the series. At first, the change in location was a bit jarring, especially since I had finished the first book just a few hours back and there were plenty of new characters and other details thrown at us. Once I got used to them, I found the book enjoyable and I'd say the author did a good job with the new characters.
The worldbuilding continued to impress me and some of the powerups were really cool. I especially liked befriending magical beasts. If I had to nitpick, it'd be that Eight's path is too unique and powerful. He has lovely companions, and it's great that not all of them are magically special, but doesn't seem that he'll have any human peer who can keep up with him.

An excellent story, well written, interesting and creative.
The MC eight is a senior citizen who was killed and awakened in another reality/universe, in an eight year old body, but with the memories of his previous life intact. In other words an Isekai novel.
He gains a guardian spirit and a symbiote, then befriends two orphan children, a human village and a teleporting Lynx called a Blinx. The story contains relationship building in and outside of families, as well as unrequited love that turns sour. There is interaction with the spirit world, spell casting, hunting and woodcraft, leveling up Qi from Mana, commercial ventures and even a murder mystery. All told, this is an excellent concept, well written and quite intriguing.
One of the things that I really appreciate is that although there is a game-like interface, it just reflects the MC’s attributes but does not mystically bestow improvements by assigning XP to a category. Instead it is a reflection or description of the things he has learned through good, olde fashioned WORK!
I look forward to further installments.

Rabadi won me over. I was hooked enough by volume 1 to read the next but I also felt that the plot moved too slowly and that the main character, Eight, did not grow that much--just learned and survived. In WAY OF THE HUNTER Eight still seems a little nonplussed by all that happens but now he has expanded his community to include a village and encounters some dark and evil forces opposing him. Now his growth is in the context of solving mysteries, protecting his family (an expanding one), and using some shrewdness to make his way. Vol 2 is much better. In both books Rabadi demonstrates an usual depth when describing this world, Eight's practices (sort of a Taoist ninja), and philosophical outlook, which I highly enjoyed. In the next book I hope the author will explore a little more why Eight came into the world as an 8-year-old and with all his stats at 8. So far nothing has been said about why he woke up this way.

This odd isekai series continues, and continues to be entertaining.
The protagonist, called "Eight" by the System because of a mistake during character generation, is an old man in an 8yo body and is faced with assimilating into a local hunter-gatherer and farming society. He and his found family are sympathetic enough to invest the reader in the story.
The world is filling out nicely, revealing a much more detailed society, though we are still mostly limited to the wilderness and one small village.
The plot is relatively typical for a LitRPG book, but written in a way that the protagonists many advantages don't really feel unearned.
The conceit of being only 8 years old strains credulity a bit. The mental age of the character is explained by the character's origin, but he manages to accomplish various physical feats that should be impossible for that small a body.
Recommended.

Three things stuck out for me. The first, like some others, I didn't see much of the literature/LitRPG in these stories. Not that it made much of a difference. I still enjoyed it.
Second is the fact he isn't white. I didn't get that until the second book. Not sure why anyone commented on this but it didn't seem to make any difference to me. Two negative's make a positive? Whatever. Again, I enjoyed the books.
Last would be something that is normally a deal breaker for me. It's how often he added a power, spell, whatever. By the end, he was nearly a god. Normally this would turn me off but somehow he pulled it off. Rather than thinking it was to much of a good thing, I was hoping he'd get even more powers or spells, at the least.
Anyway, hope he's feverishly working on the third, fourth, fifth, and so on, of this series.
Thanks

Values clash
This book was deep in many ways. The story is beautifully complex and segues into each new event perfectly. Eight and his lichen grow up a bit together. Some of the lessons they learn and teach seem brutal, but are necessary. I don't think a content disclaimer is needed, but there is dreamed harm and threats to children, for those who need to know to expect that. Eight is still a delightful complex combination of a new over powered child with the wisdom and experience his previous life bring. I'm not sure how to feel about some decisions made that shook Eight's trust. He handles those in ways that are mature, and surprising. I am really anticipating reading more.

Something I will likely read multiple times
I can always tell that I like a book or series if I want to keep it on the shelf for a future escape from my personal stresses: light enough to be fun, but deep enough to keep my imagination busy filling in the gaps no matter how many times I read it.
The characters are multi layered for the most part (some of the vilans were perhaps a little 2 dimensional), the action satisfying without gratuitous violence or gore, gratuitous sexuality, or pithy political pendulum swinging (sorry ... I get bored with politics).
The layers are surprising, and keep coming throughout both Eight 1 and Eight 2. I am looking forward to Eight 3 ...
Bring it on!

Continued Excellence
This second book nicely expands on the characters and events in the first book, so read book 1 first.
Then enjoy a rich and deeper look into everything: from the characters and magic, to hunting and the village. We watch as Eight grows (in many ways) and we also meet quite a few new characters and learn more about existing ones.
The writing and editing are again superb: the storytelling and technical skills are awesome. The book sizes are impressive too.
I don’t know how many books there will be, but even now with just two, they’re both definitely recommended (15+).

Still awesome
I really enjoy this series. As well thought out and well executed. Thee RPG system is a little unique it's certainly adds to the flavor Series. Eight is acquiring the power and the skills necessary to protect his new family and village. He has some unique advantages but always drives to get more. The personal interactions in this series are extremely detailed and unique. Much like the magic system. Or even the social structure. It is enjoyable to read and I certainly had difficulty putting the book down to deal with real world. Disappointing that I have to wait for the next book But I certainly look forward to it.

Amazing world, amazing characters
I picked up the first book hoping for a decent litrpg to tide me over between series. Holy crap was I blown away. Rabadi spins characters and their nuances beautifully, letting them tell their own stories in an breathtaking setting that feels full of mystery and potential. I devoured the books in two days. My sleep has suffered but my heart is full. Anyone seeking a good story with litrpg elements tastefully scattered in, or even if you’re trying a litrpg for the first time, I highly recommend this one.

While the story seems a little linear, I'm enjoying it. For example, the human antagonists never manage to surprise young Eight. He's in control at all times. Although the forest king manages to surprise everyone, it was only a matter of power scale, Eight was never out-maneuvered.
The magic system is well done. It's complex but has logic and costs. Eight's power-up gimmick is interesting and flexible enough to stay that way for the life of the series.
If there's a book three, I expect it will move the story to the nearby city. I'm up for that!

A great addition to the series
This one is truly unique, I just love the variety of culture and philosophical nature in this story.
The author explores the perspective of a mixed heritage immigrant man who finds himself in a new world with a lot of new cultures to adapt to. Together we explore the meaning of family, fairness, individualism and spiritual journeys all in a funny and action packed story.
Do yourself a favor and go read this book if you even remotely enjoy GameLit stories
4.5/5 highly recommended

KU Review
There is a wholesomeness to this series that goes beyond the story. A struggle from a challenging childhood to a rich life with it’s associated pains and a second chance to build a new life on the experience of the first.
As the title says this is a review for Kindle Unlimited and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.

Much better than volume 1
I enjoyed this book and will read volume 3. To follow the story, you need to read volume 1, though the first half of that volume is a hard slog of a unnecessarily wordy macwordsalad. Skim the first half of volume 1, spot read the important bits of the second half, then settle in to enjoy the entirety of this second volume. Subtracted one star for some lingering unnecessary wordiness.
