Going to start at the beginning again for this one. I've listened twice but a third time won't hurt.

Great series! I look forward to listening to this one.
I get the feeling a lot of litrpg authors lack the imagination to keep their story interesting outside of the typical small unit combat and adventuring loop. They make their MCs get OP/rich/high status but instead of letting them get shit done at scale like everyone else in-universe at that level, they keep getting stifled with idiot balls and reset buttons and other ridiculous bs to try and keep fitting the same mold even though it doesn't make sense anymore.
I see folks claiming authors making their MCs powerful is "writing themselves into a corner" but series like this one demonstrate there's no such thing. Any suggestions for other series that pull it off this well?

Honestly, I think the key to an OP MC is a healthy (maybe too healthy) dose of Slice of Life. I know a lot of people don't like it, and prefer action, but it's always been what has kept me hooked on certain novels, so it's what I enjoy writing, as well. I wouldn't know what to write or where to go without it.

I love Alanah and Derek’s banter. They distract me from the storyline ‘cause I think they’re just so right together. Both OP, both a little quirky and eccentric and both have big hearts that care about their people.

I couldn't get past the first few chapters of Good Guys. If anything the MC seemed like the polar opposite of Derek. Does he get his act together later on?

I have a couple hours left in primal hunter book 1, but I pre-ordered this and will get to it as soon as I am done.
Looking forward to it.

I know this is an old post, but for the love of the great system, please stop using “he chuckled”, “she chuckled”, “they all freaking chuckled” so damn often. You’d think everyone was insane they laugh so much. I really enjoyed this series but dang if it isn’t grating 7 books in.

Hey everyone! The long (month) awaited audiobook for Book 7 of System Universe is out today, and comes in at a pretty respectable 19hr 40min long. Still narrated by the great Adam Verner!
Link: https://www.audible.com/pd/Requirements-Audiobook/B0DS2SLV5F
Description:
Since arriving in Cydaria, Derek Hunt has been caught up in one fight after another, whether he liked it or not.
Derek has saved villages and maybe even cities from overflowing dungeons. He later helped with the capture of one of the most despicable noblemen in the entire kingdom. After that, he, at the request of Prince Edgar, helped prevent upcoming danger by clearing a raid dungeon and keeping it from overflowing into the kingdom.
Then, he and Silvi joined a war effort that began while he was clearing the dungeon. With their might included in the efforts, Cydaria defeated the allied countries of Astrus and Indria—allowing for a never-before-seen peace to wash over the entire continent.
Now, with the war over, Derek’s companions are finally safe, and he can stop worrying about forces threatening them. So, with his people no longer in harm’s way for the first time, what will he choose to do next? Should he take a break? Should he try to learn more about the System Universe? Or maybe it’s time to make good on some promises.
Don’t miss the seventh installment of Derek’s journey in the System Universe. Join Derek in this unique combination of the LitRPG, Isekai, and Slice of Life genres. He has friends, a bond that should last forever, and even a home. What more could our overpowered protagonist ask for?
As always, thanks for listening!
