I’ve been on this LitRPG kick lately. I’ve listened to dungeon crawler carl, and now I’m on “He Who fights with Monsters” book 4. Where Jason, has been transported back to his original world earth.

Am I the only one who didn’t really see that coming?! at the end of the third book, i realized that something would happen. Coming back to earth actually surprised me.

Also does or did, anyone feel like it shifted the tone or pace of the book?

    Might want to add some spoiler tags on the some of the spoilers.

    Otherwise, I’m currently on book 4 right now, towards the end of it. It’s an alright book. I’m enjoying it. At first I didn’t think I’d like the shift after book 3, but so far, its keeping me entertained.

    My one complaint, which isn’t that much of a complaint, is that everything seems to go Jason’s way. Nothing is ever… serious? I guess is the word I’m looking for. But its not any different than an action movie/TV show, so its really a none issue.

      thank you, I am new to Lemmy and have yet to figure out how to do the spoiler tab correctly. I’ll try to remedy or edit my post!

      I didn’t think i would like it either due to the sudden shift, but this faster paced “catch-up” that book 4 seems to be doing has kept me engaged aswell. I also agree with you on the “serious” part

      That is more or less my problem with it, I enjoyed it a lot for what it is, but the stakes always feel off.
