I read most of the Primal Hunter books (up to maybe 6 months ago) and might catch up at some point if I'm in a lull. I enjoyed them for the most part, although there was one book that was literally pointless, and I'm not angry at the books or anything like I am with shit like We Hunt Monsters where I literally want to murder the MC, but as with all of these they tend to get a little boring after a while. There is cool stuff that keeps you going, whether it be side characters or "floor mechanics" or whatever, but eventually the MC becomes tedious and boring, and you just kinda have to keep that in mind with all these series. Even if an author isn't milking it, they will eventually tend to fall back on stuff they've done before, or expand upon aspects that you don't care for, etc.
Path of Ascension has mixed things up fairly well in these later books, but...I can't stand the fucking combat descriptions now. One battle mentions like a hundred different skills being used, most of which we've never heard of before or can't remember, and while I can't necessarily suggest a better way to do it, this way certainly isn't working for me. What I'm getting at is that eventually almost all of these books fall into some kind of rut, whatever it might be, and you have to weight whether or not it is worth continuing or just cut it off and look back fondly at the stuff you did like. Like Defiance of the Fall. It turned completely around from what it was early on, and now I probably won't ever read another one. But I really fucking liked the early ones, and I'm glad I didn't miss out on those.
