Nathaniel is only a halfway through the tutorial, and things are only getting stranger.
After a timeskip, Astral Prison continues with Group 4 stronger than ever.There are imprisoned Champions to meet, as well as a Witch with a Mana Crown and a voice talking in her head. A certain member of Group 4 falls into food coma leading to unexpected consequences, and along the way Group 4 will visit a city full of mind mages.
Nathaniel will meet more Earthlings in Beyond, and after escaping Astral Prison, he enters the 7th floor, where the local race, the lumorans, are locked in a desperate war against a terrifying enemy.
Later, while taking on a Beyond quest, Nathaniel finds himself face to face with someone with very special eyes.
Oh, and yes, there’s a beach episode. Somehow.
Continue Nathaniel's crazy journey in Book 6 of HELL DIFFICULTY TUTORIAL as he takes on nightmarish foes and teams up with a far-from-normal group of bus passengers in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure. He must outsmart the odds, survive, and emerge stronger than anyone else.
First, the ending as normal was a giant cliffhanger. Secondly, the story led me to believe the dog was killed off for several pages. I almost dropped the series right then and there.
The pacing is slow, still typical of a web serial converted into a book. That hasn't changed and it was expected, but it's still disappointing. I don't want another 20 book series that drags out. So I really hope the pacing increases a bit because I hate reading a book and feeling like it could be summarized in twelve pages or less.
That said, the quality is better and the author's writing skills have improved. Nat is also far more enjoyable and likable now than he used to be. But he continues to make dumb decisions like investing everything into mana.
Some lingering questions were finally answered though, which is nice and felt good. I'll keep reading for now... But if anything bad happens to Biscuit, I'm done.
A bit disappointing but not bad. Earlier books were much better. There wasn't the build up and chaos I've come to expect from the other floors they've been on. More of a training montage instead of a nail biter.
In the earlier books the group is frequently at the edge and you truly have no idea what's going to happen next. This book didn't really have that. Worth reading if only to keep up with the series. Plus the next book is round 2 of the tournament!
