These books keep getting stupider, but I guess I am still entertained enough to keep going. I bought 10 of them on sale and figure I'll get at least that far. It's a shame because I sort of like the character. The writing is pulpy but good enough to carry you through without much complaint. But damn there are some ridiculous plot holes, and I hate the main protagonist at least 40% of the time. Just figuring out how I feel about these books is a rollercoaster.

For the last several books I have been balancing on the edge of dropping the whole series. I can see that B. V. Larson has some overreaching story in mind and he is slowly building towards it, but ohh man it is an agonising buildup.
Characters in Death Word are starting to behaving like a parody of themself. Compared to the Stell World - they do not change or grow, they act more like cartoon copy-pasted clauns. James is just a big brat without any conscious, Gallina is just pain in the ass (with nice ass), and whats-his-name betrayer is betraying everybody again.
I think I have reached my limit and I'm dropping this series. Not even fantastic narration can convince me to continue with this suffering.

The latest in the Undying Mercenaries series is as good as the others. Don't hesitate to read this one!

Another really good entry into this series. I'm super curious if B. V. Larson is going to be able to finish everything up in one more book. I have no idea if he plans on writing more for this series or not, but after finishing this book I fell like it would be hard to wrap everything up in just one more novel.

I can give you plot points, but really I've tooted this series horn enough. I want people to read it. And I hope they do. So what are you waiting for? Go out and get [book:Steel World|18600590] and get started on this series! Please?
