The comfortable and safe mortal lands of the Nameless World have been left behind. The petty kingdoms with their endless feuds, the supposedly great empires with their innumerable intrigues and tragedies, even the Strange Lands that consider themselves to be the last bastion of true freedom. The Mad General has traversed them all, from one end to the other. What lies ahead? The road to the Land of the Immortals. And everything that embarking upon this path will bring with it.
After all, even in the truly vast Nameless World, it is still possible to find that final border, the true end of the road. But if anyone thinks that this will cause the General to falter, make him lower his sword, they are mistaken... It is as it was before and as it always will be. Neither demons nor gods, neither heroes nor villains, neither Time nor Fate will ever be able to break the iron will of Hadjar Darkhan.
Without a doubt this series stands at the forefront of the litRPG genre. 20 books in, and still capable of bringing it's readers to another world through colorful language.
Hadjar heads to the land of the North. His time is running out, he has miles and worlds to go and many mysteries before him. Plans and schemes abound with the Mad General stuck right in the middle. But as always he has his will, his blade and The Wind. The story nears its climax, and after so long...you know you want to get to the end.
The Last Day of the Human by Kirill Klevanski is a great story brought down a little by a time skip and some light retconning. We are getting quite a lot of answers, but... some things make less sense when you think about it. Time as a repeating cycle I get, that's a pay off from an earlier tree of life statement, even if it hasn't quite been spelled out. But some revelations about The Book of Thousands, Ash's conflict, and Nanny are a bit... off? And the time skip just seemed like a way for the main company to grow in power without showing it or potentially boring the audience, but that growth in power was taken away from them about halfway through the story. And then it felt like the True Name of the North didn't quite matter as much as it perhaps should have, while the recovery of the team right up to the penultimate chapters was rushed off screen.
I like it, but I am starting to feel like we're rushing to the finish. We spent thousands of chapters on a slow pace, so it would be a bit of a shame if the last couple hundred were sped through.
I love this series. The philosophical insights of Hadjar are always in keeping with his journey. How his motivations change as he progresses makes the internal tale more "realistic" his character growth not just in power but in understanding. The pacing has been great and even as long as each book is, each book has been distinct and progresses the story. I appreciate the multiple levels of the story both internal and external. The author does this much better than many others. I hate that I can start to see the end of the tale and wish that it could continue indefinitely.
The author has done it again! The end of this part of the Story which was amazing, all the while continue the development of the main characters while introducing us to new aspects of the world, always amazed at how Creative and how well worded the stories are. I can’t wait for the next one!
I am big fan of this series, however it seems it's being stretched unnecessarily.... Author needs to tighten the story and move it along faster... Last 2 books looked forced and it would be shame if this brilliant series ended badly. Advice to author, wrap it up quickly and start work on a new series.
This story is so well crafted that it is a Stand Alone story! The detail that has gone into this story is beyond any that I've read in many years! Once you start you will not be able to stop! It's so well crafted that you live the story. My thanks to the Author for his work!
I like the philosophical musing at the background and the driving will of Hadjar. I'm looking forward to reading more about his journey. It will be sad when it reaches an end.
Volume 20 didn’t disappoint. Only the more books left in the series and can’t wait for what comes next. Kirill has produced an epic cultivation story and as it closes in on the climax it just keeps getting better.
