I appreciate that reuniting wasn't drawn out over the whole series, with a bunch of near "almost" meetings. I hate that so much and would have put a big damper on the series as a whole for me. So to the author i thank you, and to the reader of the next book cost me 50 with no option to use a credit I'd do it.

Let’s be honest..

This book was a complete hot mess.
(Beware Spoilers below)
1. The story line was completely disjointed. book 1 ended with him a a shell for 10years. In book to they wavered repeatedly between 10years & 18months which is a huge difference imo.
2. Halfway through the author decided to make this a bit more rpg and gave Torga stats, then promptly lost interest in them. Torga evolved multiple times but only had stats to allocate once. By the end of the book his strength & endurance surpassed the previous 500,000+ & were just listed as ‘infinite’ at level 100 meanwhile his wisdom was at like 50???
3. Even though he had previously turned down evolutions for naga, he was randomly allowed to evolve for plot purposes only simply because the author wanted to give him arms. Then halfway through a battle he evolves into a hydra but only has to be in the shell for 10 seconds?
4. While I love Travis Baldree, his narration was not the best here. Many of the voices were barely distinct and a lot of the male xters sounded very similar to Torga which was really confusing. I’ve definitely heard him perform better (see the Cradle series)
5. The power level and size of Torga & some other monsters are so mind boggling that they’ve lost all meaning. Exactly how are we supposed to envision a snake that is thousands of miles long, has his own star and is hundreds of feet tall but can still have conversations and interact easily with much smaller humanoids? Meaningless...

These are just a few of the issues I found with this book. Ive already purchased book 3, so I’m stuck, but if issues like this persist, I’m not certain I’ll continue with the series.

Loved it but ...

It was an awesome story and a great conclusion but most of those interludes were pointless as was the random shifts in POV. It should have remained on Torga 100% of the time since I skipped over it and had no problem understanding the story. But only a minor inconvenience which is why I still rated it a fine. Travis Bladree was great as usual.

It’s too short

I really enjoyed the book I just really wish There was more he makes progress but as soon as he reaches a goal that we’ve been wanting him to read for a while the book ends and it’s annoying as heck because I want to see more interactions between those two characters

Main story is worse than side ones.

The main character and his story are a bit boring, there's no stakes or anything like that with him, even the litrpg elements don't matter in the slightest, he'll just eat through all his problems. The side characters are much more interesting, like in book one, what sounds more interesting and unique, snake eats problems and threatens all, at sea, or druid and her lupine lover meet unstable serpent at sea and strike a tenuous bargain of protection for their family? In two shortish books the main character has gone from garden snake to his own solar system, and all the non-snake form stuff and adventures over 10 years was skipped, only used for dues ex-ing up why he knows fact a or thing b.

An excellent continuation of an exciting story

This story is simply an exciting read. Though this book takes the character up to an op level of infinity by the end of the book, it was still always filled with plenty of suspense.

The only reason I would rate this 4 stars rather than the 5 it deserves is the disjointed parts of the book that really left me scratching my head, wondering what happened in the intermission that was definitely skipped over. Now these bits might definitely come back during later parts of the series and be explained, and some may be explained in other side stories that seem to be coming alongside this story, (such as Reina's Story that is linked at the end of the book) but I personally found these little bits of cliff hanger or even just skipped segments for expediency, quite jarring. I love finding little connecting easter eggs and secrets linking one book to another, or parts of the story together, but in this book there are just some times when I found myself actually lost as far as what just happened, because entire segments were skipped and it seemed like I really missed something important, that simply wasn't there.

Other than that, the story was fantastic! Torga had some major breakthroughs in power levels, his control of his condition, and simply his own ability to function as an independent thinking creature (which he thoroughly struggles with throughout this book).

Late minute deus ex lowered to 3 stars from 5

Spoilers.


Torga is supposed to be immune to mind control but is put to magical sleep trapped in a dreamworld...

this is one of my favorite LitRPG

torga is one of the coolest MCs in LitRPG imo. and the setting being the great tree is awesome. Narrator does a great job too.

Ive got some issues...

so in the first book we established the system, where he was from, his goal, the time scale we would be working with, as well letting us know he knows what the world tree is due to his worlds knowledge.

In book 2 the sytem randomly changes with no explanation, how that got through editing I dont know,

hes from earth therefore know of Norse mythology, asgard and the world serpent, etc. I hate when a character stated to be from earth just doesnt know this shit. if not the original stuff then the Hollywood stuff, I mean damb.

his goal is to find his wife who died and was reincarnated. the god that turned him into a snake said he would see her in 300 years, 300 give or take a few decades. that is the timescale the author set. the prologue of this book throws that established information out the window. hell her first sight was a batlle of him and the dragon in the first 3 years he was there so, wtf. please explain.

the scale of creature's in this fiction is mind boggling. thousands of feet, miles long. then thousands of miles. he is described multiples times as absolutely massive. then he has a quiet conversation to ant size people as if hes a regular size person its confusing and jarring, this happens no matter the size or situation. hes fucking gigantic, see God of War videogame world serpent for reference to a big ass snake. him talking causes the world to fucking shake and moving cause the sea to drain or raise. not hey im tiny like you now.

finnaly his devourer aura. when fighting the dragons immediately after he gets it. the aura conveniently does nothing and isnt mentioned. but as soon as hes out of combat its starts effecting the terrain. i need consistency
