These are the reasons I will no longer be continuing this series. The events outside the game are beginning to get more focus than the events in the game world. There is too much drama and over-dramatization of emotional entanglements between characters. Lastly, after each book I felt we were getting closer to emotional closure between characters, but it seems the opposite is true. The author seems to be going out of his way to prevent any emotional conflict from resolving only adding to it. I prefer LitRPG elements more than trumped up drama, so my journey ends here.
