The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound 6: A LitRPG Adventure

The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, Book 6

By: Noret Flood, puddles4263

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

With Randidly Ghosthound's help, humanity has withstood the first impact of the System.

Old institutions are re-erected as the Zones settle into new normalcy, characterized by the enthusiastic application of the scientific method to System principles and the stubborn return of pop culture and consumerism.

Yet these familiar edifices of stability conceal an altogether new breed of monster. One that bears the face of a human but the beating heart of a horror.

Randidly continues to investigate the mysterious Father Foster, the central figure of the rapidly expanding Unity Church. Although the religious organization speaks loudly about its many philanthropic pursuits, a closer inspection reveals a more sinister motivation.

Just when Randidly thinks he has a handle on the situation, old debts come due: he must return to Tellus to assist his spear teacher Shal. What he finds there is a reignited war with an army of replaceable automatons, a weaponized and manipulated version of the Forsaken Hunger Tide. The defensive lines of the Spearman School are in a state of collapse, with the other Schools' curiosity apathetic to the threat.

From the front lines of the bloody conflict, Randidly can witness the real costs of dragging his feet in the face of the Calamities that the System throws against unsuspecting planets…

No his best

Sooo, apparently Randidly is to be a hermit, and his social awkwardness is starting to get annoying. The title for this one appears to actually be Book 6: Randidly Gets Cocky.

Too Many POVs. Book is BEST from Ghosthound perpective

didn't care for extra povs. last book it was the oh so crappy and unbelievable bear girl and bubble boy. now we're dealing with cowardly hero and confused death knight. knock both of those off as they are a net negative.
everything ghosthound did was worth a read. never care for the nerfing so he can have a relationship moment... Shaw's world is great. spend more time there with ghosthound. let earth stuff be discovered when ghosthound comes back. quit beefing up chumps. the powerful should be getting much more powerful. not the weak. I know ghosthounds ether spring caused much of it but come on.... Heather? that's like bear girl being powerful. bad jokes.

Great writing, performance, and characters.

These are always good. One small critique, as is sometimes the case of these books which are a slice of a long cultivation story, this one is missing any large story payoffs and is instead continual challenges and growth. Even the wins that are there happen so quickly and with so little recognition I felt a little unrewarded ( 😀 ). Lastly some interactions with main characters are skipped but they seem to have caught up in the background made feel like I was missing those.

Good addition

I enjoyed the book. The cast of characters continues to grow with the addition of 2 new story lines. I look forward to book7.

GooD

This book has a good story and narrator gave an excellent performance. Recommend to others.

if you made it this far

you probably love these books as much as I do! I can't wait for #7!

Depth of the story and how characters change.

Love these books. Especially how Randidly is always facing no win situations and in most cases he can overcome with all the power he has gained but more importantly how in the other cases he overcomes by losing and learning.

Good series overall but...

...there's just too many ancillary characters. I think checking in with some is a good way to keep tabs on what's happening elsewhere but they're becoming too involved and doesn't really focus on characters that have been present throughout the entire series.

Also, supposedly some major things happen in this volume but it doesn't really feel like that, several large multibook build ups just sort of resolve anticlimactically.

And finally, it's probably just a personal preference but this new teenage character that cowardly and whiny but supposedly a darkhorse vigilante is annoying and way too much time is spent on him and his little coming of age drama.

I'm starting to not really understand who the audience for this book is anymore, feels like the author is trying to turn the series into all things for readers which doesn't seem loke such a good idea.

I hope the next book gets back into the groove otherwise I may not be able to continue the adventure with Randidly :(

Amazing book.

its a bit of a jump around but i can see that there is a good reason for this and it will reveal itself in the next book which i cannot wait for! thank you for the path forward.

Filler

So I really like this series, but this installment while a good length didn’t move the story forward in my opinion. It felt kind of disjointed jumping between characters in a way that distracted from the main story. You probably could cut a third of this book out and still follow along. Then it falls into the trope of the MC is getting too strong so let’s mess with his abilities and the end with a cliffhanger.
