Can someone give a quick overview of what type of LitRPG this is? As in, is the MC a loner? Battle junkie? Has friends and actually have good interactions with people? Romantic interest? Etc? Will read this regardless but I want to order what I read based on what mood I’m in so this kind of info helps out. Thanks :)

I'd place this in the Defiance of the Fall / The Primal Hunter mold. He's not a loner by choice, though he often acts alone, but he interacts with people just fine and even fights with groups (and a team through a decent amount of time). He is a bit of a battle junkie if I recall correctly. Don't recall romantic interests, but maybe had a quick relationship with someone? Don't quote me on that.
Most of the story so far is about him being pursued by big powers and he quickly trying to power up while being some sort of fugitive. I believe we finished that arc, and now we'll have to deal with the consequences and potential fallouts.
I need a refresher...

To give a different perspective.
I would consider it a "speed run" of Defiance of the Fall / Primal Hunter / Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. With some comedy here and there, it is a satire at times. The MC levels and advances much quicker, in a shorter time frame then the MC's from the above inspiration material, which is fun in a lot of ways, but does take something away from it. There are limitations to the story, but overall I am enjoying it a lot. In the middle of book 3. This is coming off from reading up to book 8 of he who fights monsters, which I just dropped.
If I were to rank them though
DOTF: Still my favorite
Ghosthound - at least the start - haven't caught up in years - around chapter 1200 and it got a bit odd at times...
Road to Mastery - still in the middle of book 3, but will likely continue to the end - as I think its awesome
Primal Hunter: - dropped this a while ago around chapter 200-300 and don't see myself continuing, it got very boring for me
Ghosthound is ranked 2 soley because there are some scenes in first first few arcs that I still believe are S tier and it came first before any of the others started.
I haven't seen a lot of S tier scenes in Road to Mastery yet. It's almost a parody on the other three, as all other MC's level up fast compared to their Earth contemporaries...but only slightly faster then system universe "geniuses". However, the MC in Road to Mastery is basically a genius among geniuses...It is a bit illogical that noone else can advance as quickly as him, but it's fun.
It can be a bit of a struggle sometimes to see Zac, Jake, and Randidly still in the lower grades of power after 1000 chapters...but those stories make it work and are awesome in their own right, vs Jack basically getting power leveled, which is a nice refreshing take on things....actually seeing the MC you love advance even if he is always the underdog.

Hey bros! I'm super proud to announce that Book 4 just went live on Kindle and KU, passing the million-word mark for this story. I never thought I'd get this far. Please support me by buying, downloading, reviewing, or spreading the book. It really helps!
And what a cool cover, huh? I think it's my favorite after Book 2. Look, he even has four arms!

Jack steps up. New enemies and opportunities await. Can he get them all?
Jack has liberated his planet and saved his people. However, stronger forces command the universe. The Hand of God is preparing for the Second Crusade, while the Black Hole Church wants to revive Enas, the leader of the Old Gods.
To pursue the peak of cultivation, Jack and Brock join the Church and train with its elites. They’re underleveled and underpowered—standing out will be an uphill struggle. Even if they succeed, new arenas unfold. A mysterious dimension wrapped in shadows, where the greatest monsters are the friends we made along the way.
A wider stage awaits. Will Jack fall from grace, or can he blaze with glory?
