9 books in and I’m still enjoying this series. Numbers go up and monsters go down. It’s all in the title - dude just wants to hunt monsters. Not his fault people won’t just let him focus on it.

Overall, I can’t say this book is anything more than fine. Much like the author’s other book, Sword of Kaigen, this one is severely overhyped. The pacing is poor, the stakes aren’t real, the plot’s relatively predictable, and the ending isn’t all that satisfying. Certainly not something I regret reading, but not one I’d actively recommend.

Well this one really went off the rails. Without getting into spoiler territory, vampires seem to be acquiring powers to fit every situation like they’re Superman. It feels like there’s simultaneously no stakes at all while they’re doing their best to build tension. Quite a disconnect. Still an interesting story that I’m curious to hear how it ends though I’d prefer to just read it.
