Dissonance

My 2 cents on the series so far (books 1-9)

So the basic premise here won't be surprising for those familiar with the genre. Guy gets sucked into different world. There's a system, stats, skills, magic,... and the MC is somehow special.

Books 1-5: very average litrpg stuff with promise but lots of issues. The writing and pacing are decent, but the MC has very little agency and just gets thrown from clusterfuck to clusterfuck for 5 books straight.

Starting from book 6 however the author seems to suddenly have listened to this feedback and decides to fix most of that. Things slow down a bit, MC gets to take a breather between fights to consolidate his gains and he starts actually making decisions himself instead of just being along for the ride.

5 books is a long time to stick with a series before it gets good, but I'm glad I did.
