It just had a book and a half lull for me but I'm back into book 8 and enjoying it again. I skim the cultivation stuff.

This one is excellent. Void Herald has a number of very solid fictions. Vanquer the dragon being his most well known. I have not read Gunsoul but I will eventually. Thoroughly loving this one.

I not only read the cultivation parts in detail multiple times, but also started my cultivation journey built on what Defiance of the Fall lays out. As Zac goes through developing his core, I do the same thing. I think I am starting to see some noticeable improvements to my Dao, but it might be all the tylenol I'm eating too.

speaking of, i'm on book 6 or 7 of primal hunter and like it just as much. I think i'd put all of them with dcc in s-tier for the genre.

After reading the Chrysalis (dude is an ant) series, which I really enjoyed, I picked up his other series about a necromancer (Book of the Dead maybe?). Definitely way different in tone.
I liked it a lot less, because the necro main guy is a) a magical prodigy autist who is perfect at everything he does (including casting two rituals at once, which is akin to reciting two paragraphs at a time, alternating one word from each paragraph, on the fly), and b) the typical unlikable main character that is abrasive and people are icky etc. that too many authors seem to love lately.
Still maybe worth reading, but after the "fun" of the ant series, this one was kind of a bummer and I'm not dying to read more. I appreciate the tone of the ant series much more after reading this at least.
Almost done with the latest 1% Lifesteal on KU, and I still like it but it is tapering off a bit for me. Hopefully the next book picks up a little.
