WTF!!
So the constant refusal of the MC to become romantically involved with the women in his life was Ireland kinda noble in the first 2 books but by now it starting to feel like he's actually gay and just in the closet. (Cuz no straight single man will refuse a naked lady begging you to have sex that many times)

The way of the grassrat
The book started out slow and then devolved into a litany of fight scenes but the last 30%ish of the book really made up for it. My fire to continue this series is definitely reignited. 5/5 Herberts, would dance again.

Spoilers ahead.
So yeah.. This series of books started out really well. Good system, well thought out adversaries and plot shadowing, all in all, a decent book, if a little bit of a Mary Sue vibe from the main character.
This last book focused mostly on the main characters love interests, and the way they all feel towards each other. Any fight scenes seem to be added as an afterthought. The love scenes are awkward, the love interests are irrational and the main character seems to love being in an abusive relationship where any false step by him will hurt or damage the ones he loves.
I loved two scenes in this book. Both close to the end.
He experiences a moment of fundamental doubt, when he is shown a potential reality, an abhorrent hallucination where all his deepest, most unknown fears are real, and he comes close to accepting them as real, reflecting on how much sense this makes compared to his other life in ARS.
The second scene is when he comes full circle, to the grass rats, and finally accepts responsibility for his actions. It feels a little forced, but it's a nice scene well written, with a strong feeling of a governing AI thinking "What the hell is this player doing, and how the hell do I respond to this.."
All in all, weakest entry in a series that has only gotten weaker since the first book.
I'll still read the 5th when it comes out.
