Story
Torga’s been keeping a secret from his wife. While Reina, an accomplished monster hunter, was overjoyed to be reunited with the man she loves, what would happen if she found out that he was actually one of the largest monsters in history? Torga’s plans to reveal himself are interrupted when a conspiracy of other gods sends him and his wife to Helheim, a frozen waste where their skills and magic are stripped away. He’ll have to recover his powers, and possibly make a deal with some of Helheim’s less savory residents to escape.

Forgot itself
Everything that made the first book awesome is absent here. All the good side characters are neglected and left behind early for a boring torga centered book. And the whole story ends up an uninteresting dragon hunt and time skip. Constant ridiculous escalation and oversaturation of enemies. Every other chapter is a new God level enemy with no resolution. What I hoped to be a solid trilogy is clearly intended to be one of those 10 book slogs but the pacing is screwed as the mc has already reached their lvl 100 God tier 10. There's no fun or suspense in the fights as he's no longer fighting with allies and he's got plot armor making him immortal even when his arrogance should lead to his death. Lastly I was able to forgive stealing the world tree myth for the books but adding in asgard, Thor and a huge chunks of norse myth feels cheap. The books aren't that long some extra pages to flesh out your own unique world tree and mythologies would be better then piggie backing on a trending culture.

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.

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.

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.

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).

the book was fine
My biggest gripe is the author changed his formula for this book and for the only reason I can see is word count added the stats being read out multiple times throughout the book and now all of a sudden we have numbered stats it added nothing to the book there was no reason for it just some arbitrary numbers other than that the book was fine .

I wanted to give this a 5 star, but...
some spoilers ahead
I got what I came to this book for. Let's face it, anyone who listened to this listened to it for the same reason people watch a lot of Isekai anime. they was to see stupid overpowered character A wreck slightly less OP character B. bonus points if character B is arrogant.
that's what I came here for and I'm not gonna complain about it.
That being said, there's a few things that drag it down. The side characters POV swaps seem pointless. there's some good story there if we got more of it, but a lot of it feels tacked on just to remind us the characters exist instead of tell a story. It's like we got snipits from a more fleshed out other book.
And let's go ahead and address the Deus Ex Machina in the room. It was already kinda bad in book one, but none of it really felt like they were showing up to give Torga exactly what he needed right then and there. in this one, he just kinda gets what he needs right when he needs it.
and then there's the stuff that didn't go anywhere. I was actually really happy to find a litRPG-ish story without needing to worry about stats. and then they got added in and... didn't really do anything. Well, they gave us a way to visualize scale, but that didn't matter half the time anyway.
and then there the dark serpent evolution. I kinda knew it was gonna happen the moment it got introduced. But once it did... didn't really do anything.
within a few chapters he learns a fix to all his problems or it's handed to him.
and all that nitpicking is why I took off one star. the second is cause of his wife.
She just shows up. no real explanation about how she knows some of the characters either. Torga hasn't really been searching for her, he didn't have to fight for her, he didn't have to fight against her because she thought he was a monster. His greatest motivation for everything he's done so far and it just falls into his lap. it feels cheep and anticlimactic.
anyway, that's my rant. like I said, I got what I bought book two for, all the ridiculous godzilla man kicking ass and taking names I wanted. it just got dragged down by a few shortcomings and underdeveloped plot.
