Age of Expansion

Average rating3
The Age of Expansion dawns, but will humanity rise or shatter beneath its weight?
Matt's journey from desperate survivor to Dungeon Lord has forged him in blood and terror. With the Coronaught Queen vanquished and his domain flourishing, the days of scavenging scraps are over. But as his towers pierce the sky and his followers multiply, the drums of war beat ever louder.
Far to the south, an undead horde swells, their relentless march spanning continents. As Matt races to unlock the true potential of his abilities, rival dungeons declare their allegiances, not all siding with the living. The line between ally and enemy blurs, and every decision exacts a toll.
Now, Matt must transcend mere leadership. To shield his people from the coming storm, he must become something more - a beacon of hope, a force of nature, perhaps even a god in truth. But in a world where loyalty splinters like glass, how much of his humanity is he willing to sacrifice?
Step into the Age of Expansion, where every triumph balances on a knife's edge, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will Matt's dungeon become the stronghold of humanity's last hope, or just another tomb in a world of the undead?

I'm even more convinced now that Jez Cajiao is also Logan Jacobs, author of Backyard Dungeon and about a billion other copy/paste series. Between referring to every enemy as “fuckers” ad nauseum to now apparently forgetting which series he is writing and adding a completely unnecessary and god-awfully awkward sex scene into this book, the evidence is pretty conclusive in my mind. I'm tempted to do one of those writing analysis comparisons, I'm that convinced, but I'm also super lazy.
But as for this book/series, nothing annoys me more in these “System” universes than a freaking moron main character that purposely avoids reading his notifications when they have proven to be immensely useful more times than I can count. Sure, plenty of them are probably a nuisance, but countless times they could have made the difference in a battle, or a prep phase, or whatever. But nooooo, Matt actively suppresses them, and tells us about it like we should agree with how annoying he thinks they are. Of course, they are nothing more than plot devices to make certain things happen when the author wants them to, which gets tiresome. I also feel like the author is doing it on purpose just to annoy me, personally, because at this point it is just stupid.
Still, I want to like the series more than I do, hence the 2.5 stars rounding up to 3. I look forward to Book 43 when Matt finally remembers to do all of the things he keeps putting aside.
