About this listen

With less than a month left to prepare the Earth for what is about to happen, Silas must pull out all the stops to save as many people as possible.

Of course, if one system wasn't bad enough, Earth has been declared a contested world. Now, it isn't just the Earth competing any longer but at least two systems trying to gain control of the Earth.

Fantastic

I adore this series, and now I have to wait for the next book. :(
The only thing I disliked about this instalment was the moment it made me lose “the game”

Inconsistent, ,incoherent, hyperbolic and needs to concentrate on a storyline

Disappointing that yet another litrpg book series has devolved into into stats stats stats stats at the cost of the storyline. The main character has overwhelming power but so much agnst about defeating a hostile party whose aim was to place the earth into the control of a party whose only goal was to torture every living being.
The stats long ago reached a stage that they were meaningless, incoherent and repetitive at the cost of the storyline
Why do litrpg authors rely so much on these stats to the detriment of the story, why do they make their main characters so powerful but make them emotionally immature, psychologically broken and intellectually bankrupt with little commonsense??
It would also be an idea if there was a woman narrator the female characters rather than they sound like Pinky and Perky and how about a AI generated voice for the non humans.
I did like the way politicians were removed with extreme prejudice without a hint of regret
When it comes to romantic relationships why do they struggle from one crisis to another as I said emotionally immature and how about some man on man action

book undid a lot of the fun of the early books.

author went in a weird direction with this one. they tried to include a political angle but clearly has no idea how politics work, tried to include a military angle, but has no idea how the chain of command works, tried to include some romance, but doesn't seem to have ever been in a romance before. The first few books were a lot of fun, but this one was pretty bad.
