Publisher's summary

In the fifth book of this action-packed fantasy series, a young Earthling continues his seemingly endless quest for glory...but to what end?

It feels like a lifetime ago that the irreverent young Victor Sandoval was pulled from Earth into an existence of battle and brutality in a mystifyingly magical world where the more one fights, kills, and survives, the greater their levels, class, skills, and attributes. And right now, things are pretty freaking great for Victor.

After causing the usual amount of mayhem elsewhere, he and his warrior-maiden ally, Valla, have finally taken a portal back to Fanwath—loaded up with more powers and treasure than they know what to do with. But stumbling upon Fainhallow, a school for studying the art of magic, Victor uncovers a revelation that shakes him to his very core.

And such personal chaos couldn't come at a worse time. Because the advances Victor has made are pushing him to the brink of losing all control, awakening hidden aspects of his spirit and threatening to transform him into something very dark and very, very deadly. But then again, on Fanwath the deadlier you are now, the more alive you're bound to be later....

The fifth volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 750,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Falling with Folded Wings is a much better series.

Ironically, while waiting for the fifth book in this series to come out I listened to Falling with Folded Wings, and actually started to get mad. Victor is such a Oafish Meathead in comparison to characters like Morgan and Olivia, we could have been 8 or 9 books into a far more compelling series but nope, instead we get this..... another book where Victor runs around thugishly threatening and screaming at people while constantly stealing their potential and opportunities for improvement. It is like Plum Parrot took the worst qualities from two characters from FWFW (Bronwyn and Reggie) and slapped them together to create the most unlikable, toxic, insecure, sexist, and completely POINTLESS character he could think of. FWFW was about helping humanity to thrive in a hostile new world, VOT is about an angsty child running around learning to hit people harder because he likes it. There is no deeper meaning to any of this than that. I thought i was okay with that, until i listened to FWFW and realized how much better everything could have been. I went nearly a week with very little sleep sleep listening to FWFW do to how good it was and how much i wanted to just keep listening and see what happens next. Meanwhile, listening to Victor hoot and holler over yet another meaningless battle i started to feel embarrassed and i was actually checking the time to see how much longer i would have to deal with this. Sigh, i am being harsh i probably shouldn't have done the two series directly one after the other, but dang it i don't get why the author chose this series to continue when they had a far superior one before VOT was even started. Is this another author who chose quick and easy plots to crap out in order to get descent pay outs on patreon?
Anyways if you like non stop pointless battles and treating women as little more that pretty baubles you get to play with when your a good boy then this book will make you immensely happy. Personally i think i need to reconsider if i will be continuing.

excellent

this is just a good series. the MC is extremely OP yet the author does an excellent job portraying a slow grind to the top
