It came as something of a surprise that Hunted<\/a> was not the conclusion of Vanessa Nelson<\/a>‘s Grey Gates<\/a> series. No idea why I thought it was going to be a trilogy, but I did.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty much as far from a conclusion as you can get, opening up the world in some questionable directions and leaning into the earlier hinted romance. Honestly it feels a bit like a stopgap, a stalling measure, as nothing is really resolved and only more questions are raised. It also stops sort of abruptly in an odd place. End result being that this is probably where I get off.<\/p>\n

In a reverse of the above situation, the eighth<\/a> Na Honjaman Level-Up<\/a> novel shockingly appears to be the series’ conclusion despite the wiki<\/a> listing thirteen novels.<\/p>\n

Weirdly enough the central conflict is resolved in the first few chapters with the rest devoted to an assortment of epilogue stories. It’s very strangely structured, sort of like they just lifted it wholesale from piecemeal webnovel form without any editing, but yet still somehow works for the most part. Assuming this actually is the end I’d classify the work as a pretty solid overpowered protagonist series with a slightly weak endgame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
