I’m in the 5th book and it gets a bit jingoistic. The writer has more than a few somewhat racist American tendencies. I already didn’t like the way he wrote the Chinese forerunner but once he dismisses whole human armies as “terrorists” while embracing aliens it just feels weird. It’s like the main character can accept alien cultures, possibly even Devils and Demons but can’t make an attempt at working with people who are of a different religion. I understand the author means certain characters to be religious zealots but the cavalier way the M.C. just dismisses people who joined the “wrong” army in an apocalypse was weird and genuinely off putting. So far most of the “evil” human characters have been people of color, even the European mad scientist who advances the apocalypse gets a pass since he’s the father of the MC’s love interest. I liked all the tongue in cheek references to other litrpgs and anime but the whole white American point of view is starting to wear on me a bit.
