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?

I read the first 10 books!

I liked the series but at some point it started to feel like Jason was so OP, the book wasn’t fun anymore. I’ll still read the nee books at some point I just need to take a break.

The first few weee really enjoyable tho and if you like them, try Heretical Fishing! It has the same vibes as HWFWM
