By: Shirtaloon, Travis Deverell

Narrated by: Heath Miller

Length: 18 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Jason arrives at a kingdom in peril and he's surprised to discover that it's not his job to save it.

With the authorities fulfilling their responsibilities (for once), he looks forward to some quiet time to rest and recuperate.

The locals might not find ceaseless monster onslaughts and an interdimensional invasion relaxing, but Jason has had a rough few years. He's doing his best to let go of his anger.

While his team is caught up in duty, Jason has no shortage of people looking to interfere with his rest. Enemies—old and new—are circling, and even would-be allies are trouble. A princess finds him inconveniently alive, an ancient king arrives at his barbecue, and the local Church of Fertility are uncomfortably enthusiastic about including him in their practices. As his friends strive to reach him from the far side of the world, they are all frustrated by obstacles.

Jason is finally back in the world he longed for, but he is not the same man he was when he left. As the pressure on him mounts, allies and enemies alike will find that out the hard way.

Issekai plus ultra!

I have to say the first three books were pretty good. Like star wwars though four, five, and six were so much better. This book seven though has got me even more hyped for this series then before. I will say though that I am starving for a best girl wifu for Jason. I'll say other authors of the LITRPG genre learn from this. The story flows so well in "He who fights with monsters" because it's not being inturupted by exaustive stat sheets padding the length of the book. It has really begun to kill my love for the LITRPG genre. It's not a big deal in the early books when the character sheets are small but in the later books they take like 5 min every time. I just have to say it's nice to have more story and less numbers. Unless all stats were set to 69 I don't get excited by numbers. Giggity
PS. Pay no mind to the people crying about filler. Whenever I see a bunch of people crying about the book being too wordy or fillers it means it's a good one. Usually that just means the book takes it's time and really develops the relationships between the characters so the events actually mean something.

Loved it

I love this installment in the series. I connected with Jason so deeply because of how the book was written.

A great turn around

I wasn't as pleased with books 5 and 6. Book seven turned it around nicely.

*******************
Audible's rating is:
1 Star is "not for me."
2 Stars "it is okay."
3 Stars "pretty good."
4 Stars "it's great."
5 Stars "I love it"

A 1-star book could be a very dry topic, story, crude, or someone preaching to the reader. I generally don't have 1-star books. I will return them and go my own way. My last three were from the same series, and I had hit a very dry spot in my listening.

A 2-star story would be a story that was phoned in by a writer that typically has done much better work. I have a couple of reviews from authors that just seemed to phone it in, one most recently from an author that decided to mix current politics into his novel. If I wanted that, I would just watch the news.

A 3 star review is where I start. It means I enjoyed the book. That I did not have a hard time following it (I have lost alot of my conversational hearing). That the story kept to a plot, the characters were not static, and the world built was plausable.

A 4 star review is something that I really enjoyed. It puts the author on my map to keep an eye out for. I go through 12-15 books a month. (audible is my primary source of entertainment. ) I will search for the author's works regularly, and seek out their stories for future purchases.

A 5 star review, These are not as rare as one would think. These are the books where the characters grow, learn, act according to their nature. Where the world is not only plausible but believable. Where there are economic systems, businesses, rules of law that make sense. Where the story is woven is progressed and told with caring and dedication. These books, series, authors, and narrators bring it all in a package.

So, when reading my reviews, if anyone does, that is how I judge the books.

love it

Felt the story was a little rushed, but team biscuit is a win! Finally back to the monster hunting!

Highs and Lows

Had some of the best moments in series so far but the pacing had me feeling that everything was put on fast forward as soon as the book became established. Overall enjoyable and look forward to the next release.

This series is one of my all-time favorites!

This series has been absolutely incredible from the moment I decided to listen to a free sample of the first book. Fast forward to book 7, and I'm happy to say that Mr. Shirtaloon has exceeded my expectations with each and every book in this series. I have also enjoyed Heath Millah (Miller) as a narrator, who is a perfect fit for the Australian main character, Jason. He makes each character distinct and lifelike, with their own recognizable voices. All in all, for me, this story, and the performance are absolutely top-notch! If you're not already reading it listening to this story, why not? You will be glad that you did!

Laughs and Tears

Besides the fact that it ended all too soon, this was my favorite of the series. This book really took a dive into Jason's emotional state. This series has been know to make me laugh out loud in the past. This book brought some tears with the laughs. I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to the next.

Where's 8,9 & 10!!!!

Jason is a character that from the beginning I loved. His whole look on life is amazing. This book is finally showing that he's emotional vulnerable as powerful as he is.

Again... where's 8, 9 & 10!!!! LOL

I'm done with the series

I will try and separate the quality of the product from my personal opinion. the narrator did a fantastic job and the writing is solid. when I came across this series the first 10 books were already out. I really enjoyed the first book and so bought the next two. I love the first three and so decided to buy the next four. I recognize that just because an author writes a character to have a certain opinion does not mean that that author has the same opinion themselves. the main character seems to hate Americans. some may point out that it's really the American government and not the people themselves but our nation and Government is made up of the people and not really something you can separate. it is a little hard to enjoy a story that is supposed to take you to another world when somebody's bashing your people. if that was the only thing that I didn't like about the second set of three then once I was past some there would have been no problem carrying on with the rest of the series. unfortunately the character seem to become more and more whiny. honestly I probably would have returned books 5 through 7 without listening to him if that had been an option after having completed book 4, but because I did not get the books with a credit that was not an option. with that being the case I decided to charge along and maybe something would happen to change my opinion, but they never actually happened. I'm further annoyed that Amazon is continuing to recommend another series by this author who at this point I do not trust to deliver a product that is to my liking. that doesn't mean that it won't be to yours but I'm not interested. unfortunately I have discovered that if I come across an author find that I don't like their stuff and choose not to listen to any other stuff the Amazon will continue to recommend it to me until I am like I don't know this author and give him another shot. hopefully that doesn't happen because this author doesn't need another negative review for me but it might because I'll forget that he even exists.

Fabulous to the end

Almost all great. Only minor problem I could have done without was the repedative telling of spells.
