All of the books in this series need another wave or two of editing. I still love the series.
It's hard to rate this book because it's actually more like a series of short stories. Some of them are amazing. Some of them are dull as dirt. It's hard to be enthusiastic about battle sequences without meaty plot points or character interactions to make it "mean" more. If you fill up a book with a ton of action scenes and only a few stand out? Well, the overall book may feel okay instead of amazing for the couple of awesome battle scenes. That's how I feel about this one.
A transitional piece that pushed the plot forward but not by much. I was worried that story progression would stall due to how much detail and effort was going into developing the world & situations. Never fear! Next book is awesome!
A couple of awesome things happen in this book but they're spread out thin. It really drives home how awful the world would be if people were outmatched and surrounded by mutated environment that has no qualms about killing you. Especially if you want to pretend that nothing has changed and other people can take care of it for you.

I've always hated cliffhangers.
Over the last couple of years I have realised this is cause by one of two things:
1. The author gets lazy/lost/stuck and instead of spending the extra few pages to close out the Arc, they just hang us.
2. The story is so good that I want the story to continue yet I must wait until the next chapter is completed.
Mr. Tao continues to do #2 in all his stories, but this one in particular.
Well done.

As some of the other reviews have pointed out this volume of The System Apocalypse doesn't have very much character growth, it also feels like we don't get much of the usual secondary characters despite their names popping up all over the place, we do however get introduced to a bunch of important story characters that have little to no importance to the reader. The book has a lot of hurry up moments but also has a lot of action, it feels like more action than the previous volume but that could just be me. The last few chapters of the book are the most exciting and put an end to a small arc that began in the last book and the end of the book promises one of the things we have all been waiting for in the next one. Universe building and more character development. The entire book had a mostly "this has to happen for the story to advance into the next major arc." sort of feel. That being said I enjoyed the book and it was a good contribution to the series. Once again the narration was fantastic.

4.25 stars. A little too heavy on military action in this volume of the series. Less focused on the team.

Picking up directly from the end of the previous book, this would not be a good place to join the series and in any case the previous four book are also very good so you should check those out before this one if you haven't already done so.
This latest instalment ramps up the challenges for the main character and his friends with much more of a focus on taking back the cities and towns that had been 'bought' by alien races when the system was implemented, along the way they form alliances with new groups and also have to deal with the negatives when fighting back for some groups turns out to be an excuse for violent xenophobia. One slight negative to this book's plot is how heavily it relied on the use of one particular new ability of John, it featured so heavily that the opposition had to be specifically setup to counter him.
It is actually quite difficult to say anything different about the narration, it is again done very well and enhances your enjoyment of the book.
Overall, another strong instalment in the series that includes an ending that definitely leaves you eager for the next book.

3.5 rounded down.
I said that the previous book was the worst in the series, and am disappointed to remark that THIS is the worst book so far. Why?
The previous book focused a whole lot on re-capturing, and establishing a settlement that had been under the control of The Sect. I believed that they were going to be the new big bad of this arc, and found out in this book they are no where to be found. Notably dealing with other stuff, and purportedly going to amass strength before striking back. Anyways; this book is more settlement building, or rather expanding of territory. Boring stuff.
The vast majority of this book [maybe 80%] is dedicated to John expanding territory. Primarily by making alliances with other settlement owners. He inevitably comes into contact with a branch of the US military, and in return for helping him regain land in Canada he has to help them recapture land in America. Again, it's all boring planning, and troop movements with very little character development, or anything of substance.
The ending is a massive battle for land control [just like the previous book] though not as bombastic for some reason. There were bigger groups of people, literal armies fighting one another, but I felt like the scale of the conflict made it less impactful. Thousands of nameless people, and aliens dying. Ok, whatever.
The only redeeming point of this book that interests me to read the next book, and potentially keep me from dropping the series is the last chapter. John's character class being an Erethian[?] guard has some repercussions we as the reader didn't take into account. By books end it's come back to bite him in the rear. We'll see where it goes since even by book 5 I'm still not as invested in any of the characters as I would imagine I should be.

Ok. So I was thrown for a loop a bit at the beginning of the book, thinking I missed something, but after the first chapter(ish), I realized that skipping the ‘training montage’, as the author puts it at the end of the book, was a good call.
Big spoilers...
I did not expect all those backstabs at the end of the book! Wow. Great ending! But I’m glad the situation with the crazy teenager-turned-short-term-governor-of-the-planet was resolved before the book ended.
Jumping back to the beginning of the book, I’m actually kinda glad that Lana moved on while John was gone. Kinda ‘shot to the heart’ at the beginning there, but the bandaid needed to be ripped off. She was too... mooshy? for John. Ingrid put it best, when she said Lana was a bit too naive. And speaking of Ingrid, wow. That freaking hurt. I get why it went down that way, but damn. I was looking forward to her being a smartass companion to John through the stars. And FINALLY John let’s loose a little with Roxley! (Ok, I’ve been shipping them since the second book - but what about the bond?! They got interrupted and I need to know if they bonded before they left earth!!!) *sigh* maybe they’ll mention it in the next book. Which I’ll go read now, right after I make myself a nice cup of tea.

Not really a 3 but not a 4 either, so, 3.
This remains an enjoyable series but felt very abrupt this book. In two ways. First, there seemed to be a sudden shift to opening up all of north america to the story which seemed like a jump. We're trying to sort out the prairies, we're trying to sort out lower mainland, we're working on canada, we're working on canada...oh hey, all of california! The second abrupt moment was a continuation of that. Oh hey, the U.S. Expand the world for the mains. But wait, now you have to go galactic. Go to the rest of the universe and leave your planet behind.
It all seemed very abrupt and like he was filling this book with a lot of combat stuff to show how difficult traveling in the rest of the universe will be because he was just using it as setup for sending him off into the rest of the universe.
Meh. Not much character growth. Not much character time at all, really. Everybody remains fairly static and the new characters introduced are not particularly engaging. I can see this being a point where a lot of people step away from the series but I'm gonna stick with it to see how John does in the greater universe.

Rich, Deep, Thought Provoking
As we follow John, The Redeemer of the Dead, through all of his challenges in dealing with the remnant US Military Forces on the West Coast, we find that we too are on a System Quest to ascertain more knowledge and a greater understanding of the vagaries, inclinations, and goals of The System itself. I find myself thinking about its obvious and subtle insistence on it's interpretation of the laws of Quantum Physics intertwined with Magic. It's nearly impossible demand for Mana. It's inherent rewards and punishment for Mana use, misuse or lack.
Much to ponder.
Further, I am delightedly experiencing all the characters (dare I say NPC's?) grow, fight, win, lose, create friends and enemies, expand kingdoms and more. (So who are the PC's?)
I look forward to all 10 books and then some!!

Sorry, not my Jam.
The series had potential but I feel like I'm reading a brief off the story and not a fully written one. There are also a lot of writing tricks to explain why sometime the MC knows bits of information and sometime appear to be oblivious, "oh yeah my companion knows all the random trivia facts but did not tell me about that race of aliens so I'm clueless at the moment, oh and I can't ask because he is doing something right now" and the author keep explaining there scenes and not showing and letting me understand what is happening during the story. "He felt sad, she was angry with me, I was confused and she was happy"
I was going to give it another go, because I wanted to know how it ends, but I just avoided reading all together because I had no motivation to start the next book.
So sorry, not my Jam apparently.
2.5/5

John has decided to try and keep humanity from completely losing planet earth to alien powers. He doesn't think he can get rid of all the aliens—there are too many and in a war of attrition, humans have to lose. But he does think that it might be possible to use the system to protect enclaves of humanity throughout the world. To do this he is forced to make alliances with groups of humans trying to survive in parts of Canada and the U.S. He also has to ally with some of the alien powers as he seeks to push out the worst of the galactics and carve out some land where humans can determine their own destinies. As you might imagine, it's complicated and there is a ton of action in which John is forced to recognize that being a tremendously capable fighter does not make him necessarily a good general. The ending is a great cliff hanger.
January 1, 2019
I didn't like this one as much as the other books in this series. Most of the story just felt forced, as if the author didn't really know what he wanted to do with the story, but had it planned out, and certain things had to happen, so the separate parts were glued together to make those things happen. I can't say there was a whole lot of story progression here. There was certainly some, and the ending was fantastic, so the next book promises to be a real treat, but otherwise, I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked it well enough, but I certainly didn't love it like I did most of the others in this series, so take that how you like, it's a personal opinion, and your mileage may vary.

Another excellent effort
Love this series with great characters and plot it’s nearly unputdownable. Why nearly well I’m finding myself annoyed with the humans shear lack of realisation that everything has changed. The constant need to fight instead of trying to work with the Galactics is annoying and the fact they are surprised when John suggests it....
We really are broken when racism is still seen and I know it’s a novel but god the fact it raises these hackles in me shows it’s well written.
Once again the mix of action, exploring and settlement building with a twist of magic and sprinkling of politics enables the reader to get lost in this thoroughly immersive world. Long may it continue 😊

Awesome story! Amazing Escalation
Book 5 starts immediately where 4 leaves off, following the continued adventures of our plucky protagonist with rage issues. He’s been forced to make sense out of the consequences of the end of book 4, while trying to figure out how to save as many humans as possible.
Enter: the Americans. We finally get to see what the US folks are up to, and continue our development of North American cities (excluding Mexico - for now) and the different situations different surviving humans have gotten into.
This book is an adventure novel that expands the scope of the story even further - and ends with a bang. I look forward to seeing book 6 ASAP.

The second part of the arc begun in the previous book.
This is basically a straight-up continuation of the book 4. More implications in the resurgent politics of Dungeon World Earth, more galactics to keep in check when they're too arrogant, and, of course, being noticed as a cheater. The cliffhanger ending is simultaneously unexpected, inevitable, and promising. Well done.
The System Apocalypse remain one of the gold standards which you need to check if you like that particular theme of litrpg.

Still very enjoyable! Thinks are steadily flowing along slowly but surely but also amping up.
I wished he used more of skills though, I feel like his Prodigy Subtlety and Elemental Affinity haven’t been used in forever, certainly not in this book.
There was a lot less action in this book but I like the settlement buildup and quick reviews of the smaller battles that do happen.
I’m excited about what the next book will entail and how long he will have to be away from friends and the planet in general.

Alright but not great
Wow did a lot happen off screen in this book, while the story progressed and stuff did happen we only hear about most of it after the fact, there is little meaning fun interaction between the characters and many events feel like they pop out pf nowhere just to disappear just as fast.
Definitely the weakest book in the series it does however set up events for the future that should be interesting and exciting.

Pretty enjoyable reading. I feel it was a bit weaker due to the emphasis on the rest of the world rather than the main character, but based on the ending, this should change in book 6. However, I liked the author was able to cover a lot of more mundane happenings with just a few sentances - I didn't feel like I've lost any action, but we weren't stuck in an overly long story where nothing happened.
I will definitely read on.

...fun, I guess..
John is still grumpy and yadda yadda yadda. I lost interest in the story several times and read something else. The MC has only really grown on his stat sheet. The story becomes a slog of politics and continuous fights. And of course the guy with authority and anger issues refuses to let others be right. Basically only the final scene was a surprise. Still it was a good story and I hope for growth in the next book

Fast past book
Fastest past book of the series. Looking forward to next book. Also a plus it's. Kindle Unlimited, during the summer Amazon banned some LITRPG authors. Many feared they be next so pulled themselves from KU. Wish his other books were KU, notice some are coming back so I hope Amazon is fixing it.

Another good book in the series
This is an amazing book. I recommend it.
Read it. You won't regret it.
John is a such a well developed character who goes through so much too keep his people alive. I like his interaction with the US military and the various enemies he faced with them. This was a very fast paced book.
But the ending is such a cliff hangar

Great series for those who enjoy this genre.
The blending of LitRPG with post apocalyptic themes make this series truly unique. The main characters are super human in powers but flawed in spirit making for a duality that gives them depth and soul. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Tao Wong I hate you
There is no book 6 yet! You dangle Master Class in front of my eyes and the book is over? Grrr
One of the better LitRPG series. Main character has depth, there is no "come on, it's too easy for the hero" moment like I some other LitRPG books. It's all blood and sweat. I have read 5 books in the series during 1 week and can't wait for more.
Good job

The Kingdom building one
This book had some of my favorite moments in the series thus far. It is a bit less focused in the personal scale battles that the previous books have had. More focus on the macro than micro events. Hopefully the next book brings a bit more of the personal focus back, as I really enjoyed some of those battle scenes.

More enjoyable chaos
This book was a bit faster moving and less in depth personal combat than in previous books. I did however enjoy it from a different perspective. Strategic level of thinking and playing. Long term goals not just the next battle. This series, as always, provides me with good entertainment. Keep up the good work.

Epic!!!
This was another awesome addition to the series.I don't even really know what to say that I haven't said already in my previous reviews. If you're trying to decide if you want to read this book or the series then the only thing I can say is Just read it.What have you got to lose?

I am loving the progress of this series, great development, we get more expansion of the affairs in the world, part of the action does happen outside of Canada. Altough the ending is a great oportunity for Mc to grow stronguer it also left a lot of loose threads, like what will happen with his settlements now that he isn't around?

I loved this entire series. I've just read all the way from Book 1 - to Book 11. I'm eagerly waiting for the Final book to come out so I can read it! The entire story of John and Ali is amazing, I very much enjoyed earths evolution as well as the way all the main characters changed and adapted through the story. Thank you Tao Wong, I've enjoyed these first 11 books endlessly.

First part of the book is more focused on city building. Second portion is more focused on combat. A bit of a "surprise" cliffhanger ending, though it wasn't totally unexpected. Overall entertaining and addictive; read it all in one go.
