A real disappointment.

I picked up this series a month ago. Just got to book 5 and I have to stop. The whole thing has completely devolved out of recognition. The first four books are great and really build the world and cultivation power system. I understand that isn’t for everyone but loved it. Then all of a sudden the world ends? Like if I had blinked I would have missed how it happened. It totally blindsides the whole story.

Artorian has finally saved his kids, built places that are relatively safe for them to call home and seems to have a budding relationship with Dawn. Then oh by the way the moon seems to be broken we all need to hide! World’s over, say goodbye to all the world building this far. It was jarring to say the least. Then they are building a new world in the soul space they hide in. Isn’t this supposed to be a stop gap? Aren’t they just hiding until the outside world is safe again? Doesn’t really feel like it, looks like the next couple of books are all this.

Now all of a sudden instead of being a cultivation series it now LitRPG? F right off with this, the whole thing has derailed for the sake of some cross over bullcrap. So many loose ends and things I wanted to learn about and see in the world space are now gone with no reason to ever look back at or explore them. Why? This is just my opinion but stop just before the end of book four. Have nice day dreams about what the series could have been and don’t disappoint yourself with what it actually becomes.
