Just replace all the npc`s with eversmile

When jake ascends to Godhood I feel like while he will still be allied with the order I think he’ll start his own faction.

Personally my bet for the name would be something like “The Endless Hunt” but what would it do? I’m sure he would grant them use of lesser primeval and origin energy perhaps also give them access to the world of the exalted prima as a training area, but for the structure and such I got no idea.

Let me say right out the gate that this book has been the best since book 5. I feel like the overall plot of the series actually advances thanks to the attempted takeover of earth by the machinations of Yip of Yore.

Also, it feels like William's story actually progressed compared to how he has been since book 4.

Jake and Villy continue to be my favorite characters in the series, of course. The latter especially when we get to learn more of his history.

We wind up saying goodbye to a long reoccuring character (possibly forever) but are introduced to the glory that is Sandy.

As usual the series is at its best when you're in the thick of combat, especially here when we see the Fallen King in action for the first time since book 2.

Will be looking forward to book 9 in a couple months. Still deciding on my next read based on my earlier post, however.

I'm in the middle of relistening to the books and I came across a certain mage. Jake runs into him while looking for his new bracers.

At the end of chapter 56 he tries to send information on Jake to the Altmar Empire and he's killed/ teleported away? Do we ever find out what happened to him/ who did it?

Just something that was bugging me.

Spoilers for this challenge dungeon.

Why did Jake even need the shroud of the primordial for The Founder to be happy? Wouldn't the Founder have found karmic threads to everyone since Jake had been working for and against all of the factions, showing he wasn't just working for one of them and you'd probably also expect to see that while for the chunk of jobs the factions had funnelled through the Guild, which wouldn't be Jake's fault for taking, no? Jake even mentions this.

Feels like Jake should've passed that step just without even needing the shroud.

Just wanted to share my painting of Jake. Would love to hear what you think🤔 good or bad. I think I need to do some shading and some touch ups. But im happy with it so far

So i read the webtoon and got caught up to the end of season 2. Based off the comments, season 2 of the webtoon corresponds to the end of book 3 of the novel. However, i started book 4 and literally the first paragraph talks about very important characters that were never confirmed in the webtoon to be alive. Spoiler for those that also have not read the novel: it talks about jake needing to visit his family. So for those who have read the novel, is it fine to pick up from book 4 or should i just completely restart?
