Story
Artorian has been given the lovely opportunity to run a realm and sort out all of its inherent issues. Not only does he get to chase around people with world-shattering abilities and force them into hibernation, he gets to break up his days by living through the worst portions of his life all over again. Between constant battles, Cal’s newfound love for math and pylons, the early stages of a world-spanning game system, and grumpy supervisors who refuse their bedtime…the sunny administrator has his now-tiny hands full. Exactly how he likes it.

Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon. Survival horror. One of the most brutal, most terrifying full-immersion games ever made. A place where fantasy characters such as elves and dwarves clash with technology, where giant monsters roam the hills, entrusted with protecting the gates of heaven from the demons who would tear it all down. A game where one plays the last of the battlefield surgeons: a healer tasked with keeping the behemoths alive at all costs. But on this server, they don't care about the game. They've come because of the game's most unique feature: full pain.

His first task is to survive, but mere survival is the least of his concerns. The Zone he has landed on has been in a state of constant war for thousands of years, a tug of war between the Elven and Dwarven societies. Not choosing a side is the same as declaring both to be your personal enemy. Though he is resistant, Joe reluctantly decides to go with the group he thinks will help him grow the most.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Publisher's Summary
A whole new world. Well, the framework. Surely nothing will go wrong.
Artorian shrugged off moonfall and war like it was a gentle rain and must now face new trials. Specifically: life in the world created by the Dungeon Core, Cal. Unfortunately, Cal has only put together the most bare-bones of systems.
He's no stranger to solving near impossible problems; how difficult could it be to smooth out the slew of angry Mages with bitter rivalries, uncountable hidden secrets, a complete inability to cultivate, and a Dungeon creating messes at full speed? One way or another, it is up to Artorian to pick up the pieces. He’s ready to roll up his sleeves and administrate.
There are some very serious holes in this world, and the old academic is determined to fix them.

Engaging but felt a bit all over the place
I enjoyed this book but it didn’t really feel like there was any plot development for the characters. This kind of makes sense since they are all essentially stuck in limbo as far as the story is concerned but it felt like the book could have either been half as long or should have moved things forward more.
I loved the prior books in the series, this one isn’t quite as good.

Absolutely wonderful! The incredible world building keeps getting better and better and is as always remarkably well displayed. The writing/prose is beautifully well done, this writing team seems to be constantly improving and just when you think theyve peaked they release another well written story. Artorian is the grandfather you always wanted yet still so mischievous and clever as a fox. His antics are hilarious and his view on the world around him and how he solves his problems thought inspiring. The sprinkling of philosophy even more so. The characters really come alive as you read these stories and are well defined, their interactions seem organic and believable. This story will keep you interested and hungry for more so dig in! I cant wait to see what is next.
travis performs incredibly in this installment. his vocal range is incredible, the characters easily identified by their voice and tone. love this pairing of writers and narrator.

The bridge we needed.
First I will start by saying the last line made no sense to me as I thought all of Artorians loved ones were still in stasis and I thought he had come to love and mentor that group of bards. Other than that we got what we needed, we saw how etherium started and how the building blocks were made. It was entirely the right decision to introduce us to the creation of etherium through someone other than Cal or suppose now it's Cale. The story from Cales perspective would of been extraordinarily hard to write right with what we learned here and while I would love a bit more info on the early days maybe just a chapters worth per dungeon born I can see why we don't get it. Trust me if you love the divine dungeon series and the complitonist chronicles you need Artorians archive in its entirety.

A real disappointment.
I picked up this series a month ago. Just got to book 5 and I have to stop. The whole thing has completely devolved out of recognition. The first four books are great and really build the world and cultivation power system. I understand that isn't for everyone but loved it. Then all of a sudden the world ends? Like if I had blinked I would have missed how it happened. It totally blindsides the whole story.
Artorian has finally saved his kids, built places that are relatively safe for them to call home and seems to have a budding relationship with Dawn. Then oh by the way the moon seems to be broken we all need to hide! World's over, say goodbye to all the world building this far. It was jarring to say the least. Then they are building a new world in the soul space they hide in. Isn't this supposed to be a stop gap? Aren't they just hiding until the outside world is safe again? Doesn't really feel like it, looks like the next couple of books are all this.
Now all of a sudden instead of being a cultivation series it now LitRPG? F right off with this, the whole thing has derailed for the sake of some cross over bullcrap. So many loose ends and things I wanted to learn about and see in the world space are now gone with no reason to ever look back at or explore them. Why? This is just my opinion but stop just before the end of book four. Have nice day dreams about what the series could have been and don't disappoint yourself with what it actually becomes.

lots of fun , but with a little less peril
of all the books in the divine dungeon universe these ones put such a smile on my face.
this book was a lot of fun with a lot less peril then the first 4 but still worth listening to.
I love the interconnections in this universe and the many a-ha moment when a piece of the puzzle drops into place.

Interesting start to this new phase of series
I was initially a little unsure how well this new phase of the series would work as it moves away from the parallel series that originated most of the characters, but the new setting works well on the whole and has a broad scope for future instalments, both from the setting and the main character who remains highly entertaining.
The narration is a strength of the series with the narrator helping to bring this varied cast of characters to life in a distinctive and clear manner.
Overall, despite the change in setting this is another strong instalment in the series.
