As good as the first book

It amazes me how the quality of the book and here I reference the narrator as well as the author is as good or even better than the first of this series. Simply stunningly amazing.

The first books were so nice, last few books suck

The dwarfs are not funny but just annoying. I hope the author starts writing good books again. There haven't been any interesting new characters in the last few books.

It’s ok, but things don’t move forward

It’s a weaker entry into the series, essentially joe builds a town and defends it from monster waves. There is little actual progression or new things that are discovered and no truly epic feats are achieved - or at least the don’t feel like it.
Still a good book, even if it doesn’t move things forward

Lacking fresh ideas

The last books fell like the autor has no plan for the end of the series and just putting out content now. The story isn't even half as complex as the first time Joe build a town.
Nice battle at the end, but no interesting or important stuff in the middle.
This is getting more like the Artorian books, which are good to listen while waiting for sleep.

Just aweful, i cant believe i paid for this.

This just confirms my fears since 3 books ago. The author keeps forgetting every major plot that happend previously or just actively chooses to ignore them. This is just one lonely protagonist doing stupid things. Not a single other character besides Joe does anything relevant this book. Not leveling? No progressing? No bonding? Literally nothing interesting happend this book. You could skip this entire novel and read a 2-sentence paragraph summary and would miss nothing.

Don´t like the way its going

First i should state that i love the universe Dakotas books are based in. The humor, the details of the world building, etc.

What i don´t like with this series is first: As a completionist, Joe has such a narrow skillset and is much to focused on specific areas. A completionist in a game tries to achive as much as possible. Learn as much as possible. Discover as much as possible. Explore as much as possible of every available area. Joe does none of those things, he specializes and builds up specific areas. So the title dosen´t fit the story at all.

Second and this is the much more important part. I really hate how he gets bossed around all the times, but still gets all the blame for every little detail which goes wrong in his vicinity (dosen´t matter if he is involved or not). Nobody else seems to need to hold any kind of responsibility in the universe, except for Joe. This is shown in nearly every book. He always needs to use his own resources (which he collected by his own efforts) to create stuff for somebody else, and in most cases he dosen´t get any credit for doing stuff. I absolutly hate how the dwarves tell him how he needs to prove himself over and over and over to them, only to have something small happen, which leads to loosing all trust in him again. It´s a war torn race, they should understand that in fight stuff can go wrong, losses can happen, but it somehow ends up all to be Joes fault and nobody elses.

I think i will see how the next book of this series goes, but if it continues with this guilt trip for everything in the next book, i will stop listening to this series, as it only starts aggravating me.

Not as catching as the last.

I really like this series but the 8th Book lost some of its momentum. And the 9th can't even keep me focused.

While trying to listen my thoughts are wandering around and the story isn't good enough to prevent it. It feels like Joe is just doing a to-do list.

What's happening

Like seriously I really liked the first books but the last one showed some weaknesses and this book makes it even worse, everything that goes wrong is Joe's fault. All his achievements matter not, and the Dwarves just dislike him for no reason and treat him like shit, despite all the stuff he did and continues to do for them, I will finish the book in the hopes it saves itself but if this continues Ill drop it and the series.

God awefull

The first books were great. The books in the dwarfworld were ok. This book is terrible. City Building? Hasn’t the MC already done this twice? Sure the third time will be fun - not.
And even worse the conflict in this book is so increadibly stupidly contrived it’s unbelievable. This series fell off so hard it killed the dinosaurs
