The Path of Ascension 5

Most boring version of the classic “Tournament Arc” I've ever encountered. If you read the first 4 and just imagine “Matt, Liz and tournament arc”, you've just saved yourself reading the book. Nothing interesting happens.

The main draw of a tournament arc is usually our main characters pushing themselves to their absolute limit, but even that is just gone with them still hiding their powers 5 books in.

On top of that the writing in book 4 & 5 has a big drop in quality and the good old grating litRPG tradition of endlessly repeating walls of text has become more common.

All in all, not a great read.
