Read the first like 10 books and enjoyed them, but there is no end in site for this series. No point of reading something that will never end.

Perfect book. Second time read. I’ve already read the other books in this serie and the app should invent a ranking called ‘godly’ or ‘mind-blowing ‘ because incredible is just not a word strong enough to describe the later defiance of the fall books.

 
Hated It

The book series quickly devolves into a "dao" decision machine with little plot progression and a shelving of the character interactions that made the series somewhat entertaining.

A pragmatic MC turned hero through sheer dint of survival instinct, hard work, determination, pragmatism, luck, and cunning. Some might argue that most of the first book is boring but there's something congenial and fun reading about Zack (and Ogras of course). The world building is vivid and I really enjoy a mix of a lot of little things that make this series a very addictive one.
