Rise of the Weakest Summoner: Volume VIII

By: J. R. Saileri

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Ellory Lane

With many challenges, trials, and tribulations riddling their path, Asterios and the girls successfully made it through the realm of valkyrjas and reached the Descending Spire's final floor. The task to pierce the inverted tower's defenses was an arduous one but provided them with some great revelations about Ast's past and his true identity. At the same time, Bryn discovered something new too. Now, with their main goal secured, they have a lot to think about before returning home...

But are they going to finally find a moment of respite after doing so? Is everything alright back in Glimmervale? There's only one way to check and our adventurous party certainly isn't going to shy away from more trouble, be it from new or old friends and foes.

With how much they had learned during their expedition, they certainly have many options to explore.

the overall story is great and interesting

the characters are well fleshed out, there are elements you hear early on that catch up later in the series. It was is a well thought out series of books and I'm a huge fan.

great voice acting.

Have really enjoyed this series. Always checking to see when the next one comes out.

another fantastic

the story keeps getting better!!!! old mystery is solved and new ones found. can't wait to see what happens next.

Twists, turns and puppy dog tails!

Waiting until the next one sucks, but this book did not. I'd love to see the introduction of the fore mentioned puppy dog, just like the Demon Girl.

The summoner is back

Asterios returns with more adventures.
Loving the series so far and the characters are so much fun.

So glad there's more!

This series has been so much fun to experience, I'm glad this isn't the last book.
Really looking forward to the next one.
Pretty sure dragon nature is going to play a BIG roll in the next book, because it played a significant part in this one.
Author needs to stop playing with the king's and the MC's mom's relationship 😤
Lots of great story here and just like the other books in the series, the spicy chapters are marked with a heart, so you can skip them if you want to.
This is one of the better lengthy HaremLit series out there.
I give this book 8 out of 5 stars.

descriptive relationship details

I didn't really dislike anything. I was a little surprised with the first book, but found I quite enjoyed the whole context of the story.

I love this series

Another great adventure just when I thought there couldn’t be any more good content.
No new major characters, but a lot of good and interesting supporting characters. Great adventure, great fights, and more room for this series to grow.

It just keeps getting better!!!

Wow!!! I had a blast with this newest addition to one of my favorite stories and cast of characters!
The main negative thought is just that it is over. This is probably the longest addition by far! So I am not complaining too much…
I hope that the next one will come soon!

We finally get to see the Elves and a lot more of their culture! Their traditions. Their history. And there is a depth within them that was an epic addition to the lore that Saileri gifted us with! And then there is an even bigger hint towards the end which raised the stakes of the eventual future than any other book previously… I love the Slice of Life flow that the author has remained consistent and deliberate… I am hoping that we don’t lose it. All these adventures go hand in hand with our MC and his ladies journey and desires. However, the clues adds a thrill and a sense of anticipation! So well done Saileri!

The power and skill progression for the characters remain constant for ALL of them! Which is a MAJOR aspect I pay attention to and I lose interest if the MC and maybe one or two ladies keeping up only slightly… There will be differences of course, but the gap(s) don’t need to be that wide or huge…

The characters and their relationship continue to grow even with all that they have on their plates. They still spend time together, making time for each other as a group and each lady, individually with Ast. And there isn’t too much sexual content, drowning out the story. Which is what is keeping me coming back for more!
A lot from this genre tend to fall behind in later books. The series is growing close to the most common ending for this genre but it is still going strong and fresh new material and lore are still keeping our attentions. I hope there will still be several more if Saileri can keep this pace up!
This series reminds me of both Bruce Sentar and Daniel Schinhofen. With Sentar’s longest being at nine and Schinhofen with the longest being eleven. I can see this series reaching that length while still feeding our cravings!

I don’t want to say anything more besides giving a nod to the narrators and their continued superb performances. And to thank Royal Guard for this opportunity!

Action

Great story line really easy to fallow
Kept me on the edge of my seat with the fighting scenes
