For the record….

For anybody that reads reviews for an entire series before deciding to jump in on something new, I figured I’d leave this review here for you.

I mistakenly obtained and listened to this title thinking “The Second Expedition” was the 2nd book in the series. The first book is called “The First Step,” but on my phone, it just shows “The First…” unless you click on book details. So why am I telling you about my dumb mistake? Because I couldn’t tell it wasn’t the next book. That means Books 2 and 3 are clearly not that progressive to the story. I don’t feel like I missed anything in the middle two books, and after this book ended, I see no reason to go back and purchase them. I’ll buy Book 5 when it comes out, if like this one, I’ve ran out of other things to listen to, but I can only deduce that very little, if no progression of cultivation happens in Books 2 and 3. There were two things I kept thinking I must’ve missed while falling asleep with my headphones in, and that was the matter of his finances and his breakup with his GF, but knowing what happened to his finances wouldn’t have added anything to the storyline, and previous reviews about his relationship were bad anyways, so I never rewinded the story. Most likely that part of the MC’s story happened in Book 3, but meh… This is no Will Wight “Cradle” cultivation series. It’s decent and worth listening to when you have no other books you’re interested in, but you could easily skip from Book 1 to Book 4 as I accidentally did. Up to you. Just thought I’d share my experience.
