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?

Book 3 was a tone shift with returning to the astral space and book 4 shifts back to book 1 where the situations he is dealing with are not far off his rank.

spoilerBook 5 and 6 are a real tone shift with Jason basically trying to save Earth while everyone is racing for power they don't understand but want because power trumps all.
