Story
Possibly it's not to save a pair of drowning girls, not go 'viral' on social media and certainly not to let the local police take your passport, trapping you on a small 'party' island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

With his reality forever altered, Matt must quickly find a suitable place to deploy the Dungeon Core, fighting his way through the hundreds of people between him and safety, because if he doesn't do it soon, a Core Detonation will solve all of his problems for him....permanently.

Randidly's Skills have grown at a rapid pace, keeping him far ahead of any individual on his home planet.

Opposite her stands the stark and intimidating Skeleton Knight. The previously isolated populations come together, clustering around these two figures.

A world on the precipice of the apocalypse. A secret forged in the flames of war. A chance to start over. For John Sutton, only one of those three things matters. Retired from a decade of brutal war, he wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the end. He’s been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it's impossible to escape the war's devastating effects on the world.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Publisher's Summary
Hunted, confused, pissed off…this is one quarry you don’t want to back into a corner.
Steve and Ingrid have escaped the clutches of Athena, but Steve is still learning, both about his place in the world, and his capabilities...not to mention those of the creatures that surround him.
Ingrid, too, must find her way in the new reality she finds her world has become, and the pair need a plan.
Fortunately, Ingrid’s a lot brighter than Steve, and she’s had plenty of time to plan, to observe, and to build up a festering hatred of her "betters".
Steve’s going recruiting—and harvesting. Greece is in for a hell of a surprise, and for the criminal element out there? It’ll be a fatal one…

ugh don't waste your credit
12 chapters in and it's taken a completely different tone from the last book. Mc went from fighting supernatural beasts to fighting petty crime and healing cancerous orphans.
The Female protagonist went from being a cool and intelligent character to being an airhead without a clue, who wants to fight God's and turns into a wilting daisy literally paragraphs apart.
In short the beggining of this book is complete dog water. I'll update as I get further in but it's not looking good at all.
(**update**) **SPOILERS**:
I'm now 44 chapters in and have about 7 hours left. This story went from fighting immortals who considered themselves gods to the MC fighting the true enemy and the greatest threat in this verse.
Green House gasses, nuclear waste, drug dealing mobsters and saving the homeless.
I shit you not, the story has turned into one massive political rant and virtue signal. The villain from the first book is killed off a few chapters in and then than never touched on again. there is a point where MC finally runs into what you think is an elder god, but ends up just getting his mission to become SUPER HIPPIE, SAVIOR OF THE WEAK AND DRESTROYER OF POLUTION!!!
I have 7 hours left and honestly it's not getting better. If that's the sort of thing you're into than go for it but if you expected a continuation of the previous story, than save your credit and leave this political trash alone.
**final edit**
The ending is decent. with about 2.5 hrs left the story is finally brought back and given a half decent ending. However the next book is going to be a galactic lvl scifi book where MC has to travel to other worlds. A stupid trope I have no faith this author can pull off given that this book was just political propaganda. So my final score is 2 stars and it's just because the narrator was great.

This book should be titled “even as”
How many times can you use the phrase “even as” in one book? This book explores those limits, and blazes right past them.
The main character is intensely submissive. He assumes submission means “equality,” instead of, you know, “treating each other the same.”
It carries over to his relationships, too. He’s not happy unless he’s shoving his girlfriend up on a pedestal while she’s busily making demands. She went from self sacrificing while he was being held prisoner to demanding dominance as soon as he’s back.
Equality means equal, and it is not simply changing which side is “better or more important than” the other.
At least half of the book is inordinately obsessed with preaching political dogma. If it wasn’t so extremely hung up on that, it would be a great book. There’s really some interesting ideas underneath it all, just trying to get out from under the sermon.

just the right amount of Masculinity
Jez Cajiao has become one of my top ten favorite writers. he appeals to my sensibilities as an alpha male. This is the kind of writing I'm always hoping for and frequently get let down on but Jez never falls short of Glorious my son!!! now on to another Jez Cajiao series Underdark, which is another of my favorite and the main characters of these stories correlate in a lot of ways.

Series is pretty good
I loved the first book, and liked this book.
The main issues I have with it is that a lot of the main characters reactions are valid and throughout the entire novel everyone keeps telling him he’s wrong or emotional. I found it really obnoxious to listen to, since most of his reactions were extremely logical (like not wanting to add the hippies). Everyone kept telling him that him not wanting to add a random group of people who are extremely naive and stupid to a project that needs to be completely secretive is emotional and illogical is honestly the dumbest writing I’ve ever heard.
Along with that they act like him trying to keep the people he lives out of danger is some misogynistic ideal, when the main character is literally invincible (just about). Him adding people to his journeys who are extremely vulnerable to death just makes everything harder on him. The argument that Inga can help him is like a naive child wanting to help fix the car. They are there doing the bare minimum and likely to cause an accident.
A lot of the arguments just felt very illogical and emotional based and the main character accepted them rather then break them down and logically argue.
