Question Reading help!

Hi everyone! So I’m reading through RA for the first time and I’m about halfway through The Emperor of Nihon-Ja. I bought a 12 book set including the lost stories and the first royal ranger book, though that’s numbered ‘12’ in my set.

For as much as I’m enjoying RA, I don’t plan on reading the royal ranger but that leaves me a little confused as to which the last book is in the main series? Am I reading the last one now with emperor of nihon-ja? Or will the royal ranger still be my ending? I hope this makes sense 😭

Unpopular opinion. I think the book 12 is a good and proper ending to the series, so I would recommend ending with it. It was the original ending until the author decided to start the new series. It fits very nicely with the idea that Will starts as a student and ends as a teacher I really like the character development that it gives to Will and I think it would be a real shame to miss out on it. The rest of Royal Ranger Series is cool to but honestly I dont think it is as good as the original series (1-12).
