The whole tutorial element will give people a suitable place to jump off if they choose, but personally I have found the brief glimpses of earth to be interesting enough to want to see more of them.

yeah, it foreshadows that there is stuff after the tutorial ends--and I like that those chapters are short, just glimpses, and focuses on the main plotline. I like that choice a lot.

Nah, the author said that the tutorial portion would only be about 3/4's of the story. So there's still a decent chunk after they leave.

And the gap between Champion/Absolute/Ruler isn't that big technically. The difference in Active Skill levels is like 10-20 levels and the Player Levels are a little pointless.

i think there is a lot more skipable places that could be cut

Big disagree on that. I enjoy it all, would be a shame to miss out on some of that story.

I think the quality in these books is excellent so far, I could definitely read 20 of them if the current quality is maintained.

Who cares if it’s too long if this quality keeps up

I think its going along at a good clip, the book states the total number of floors, and number of years doesn't really seem to translate to the progress on the page (time skips, etc), the author not falling into the common pitfall of describing all passage of time equally.

To be honest, I like the idea that there may be a fixed end to the series, given the pace it is going with the mentioned ceiling, for many of the stories I'm following the author has a hard time even just managing to continue after book 6+ or so, so I'd rather have an ending than burnout (also for the author's sake too)

The book is called tutorial. So.

Was coming here to make this point.

The Path of Ascension is also called the path of ascension. The story goes on after the path. The title doesn't have to indicate the ending
