Summary

Jason has discovered that his homeworld is not what he thought. What’s more, the rest of the planet is on the precipice of sharing his revelation.

With magic on the rise and forces pulling him in multiple directions, Jason is faced with challenges greater than ever before.

Even as his power reaches new and incredible heights, he is faced with the realization that going beyond his best is still not enough.

About the series: Experience an isekai culture clash as a laid-back Australian finds himself in a very serious world. See him gain suspiciously evil powers through a unique progression system combining cultivation and traditional LitRPG elements. Enjoy a weak-to-strong story with a main character who earns his power without overshadowing everyone around him, with plenty of loot, adventurers, gods and magic. Rich characters and world-building offer humor, political intrigue and slice-of-life elements alongside lots of monster fighting and adventure.

Overall just okay

This felt very much like an in-between book and was the least captivating of the series so far.

Great book, abrupt ending.

As always, a fantastic performance with a good range of voices and amazing story telling.

the story felt different... not bad just a little more rushed, as if the author was rushing. The length of the story would tend to indicate that as well.

The ending felt very abrupt, I couldn't help but feel it was half the story.

All in all, another great book in the series.

Still a great series!

well written litrpg, fifth book and going strong, don't want to do spoilers, but there was some cheap "plotmovement" in the middle.

Back on track!

After an undoubtedly shaky book 4 which will leave a sour taste in my mouth for some time to come HWFWM 5 has done it - get the series back on track! Not wanting to spoil anything for anyone might reading this yet to listen, would highly highly! recommend to read / listen to. Can hardly wait for the next instalment! Struth!

Glad to seeing it going this direction

From reading some of the reviews I was worried that this book was going to be a rehash of the last one but definitely not. It’s a great story and arc doesn’t at all feel repetitive, would definitely recommend to other fans of the series and would encourage to read it

Enjoyable but would have been better as a spin off

Spoilers


This book has the main things I turn up for which is the writing style I enjoy and a great narrator. It continues to add to the amazing world building that truly has me hooked.

The main issue with this book was plot.

Don't get me wrong turns out I like this universe enough that I can listen to 20 hours of nothing really happening and still come out the other end feeling that I enjoyed that 20 hours. That however was the biggest let down of this book, everything that happened was dragged out over a book and half for no real reason.

When Jason first came back to earth it was refreshing having a "taken to magical world" story have the MC come back to earth however I feel the half of the last book should have been the limit to his time on earth. He should have came to earth showed off a bit, learnt about earth having magic, gave his family magic and then left back to the other world to fix the problem on that side.

I feel like this would have been much better while also allowing for a spin off where his family deals with the earth side stuff. That way I could keep the man in a magical world that got me hooked to begin with AND a cool spinoff most likely of his niece exploring earth magic while putting that side right. Then have the family cross over to the other world after a book or two.

All of that to say I want more of Jason exploring the other world but would still likely listen to the series even if he never went back all be it grumpily.

still a great book series

I hesitated starting this book series as it seemed like a copy paste isekai. The book is even called He who fights with monsters instead of a "real name". I started listening to book 1 as I had no other audio books of interest left. The first minutes I was thinking " yup standard copy paste isekai" but then within the first hour it transformed. It made its on interesting plot, it made amazing characters and evolved them. It has great conversations, humor, fighting. I was suspicious where the last book left of, but they made it work and I really enjoyed this book as I have with every other book before it. The series has quickly grown to be on my top 5 list and I have over 40 days listening time on Audible. I can't wait for the next book to come to Audible.
