With the Builder threat behind them, the time has finally come for Jason and his team to hit the road. Eager to get back to the adventuring he’s been longing for, Jason is excited to not be at the center of world-changing events. But before he goes, one last attempt to pull him into politics has him leaving Rimaros with a strong final impression. With new places to visit and new people to meet, the remnants of recent events have scarred the land and left lingering dangers behind. It's a busy time for adventurers willing and able to fight with monsters. Threats that once loomed in the background start coming to the fore, and the team prepares to join the fight. Their angelic new adversaries are patient, powerful, and remorseless, using such unconscionable strategies that mass slaughter is only the beginning. Jason is forced to confront that his growing power may give him more in common with his foes than his friends. While this opens a path to uncovering the methods and objectives of their enemies, it also brings him to their attention. To them, this makes him yet another tool to be used. But when conflict spills into epic battle, they'll be the latest to discover that challenging Jason Asano is a very bad idea.

I continue to enjoy this series. The character development of the main character, Jason, remains engaging and has kept me invested in his journey. The story has nicely transitioned from a pure LitRPG to a more narrative- and character-driven approach, which has been a welcome change. Jason, as a relatable protagonist, consistently faces remarkable challenges and seeks the best way to navigate them, becoming less of a caricature of a character, and more of a real person who has faced life-changing events. Although the fight scenes have become less frequent, they are still well-written and enjoyable to read. I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes in the future.
