No

Funny enough, Otherlife was the first not-poorly-translated-from-Japanese, trapped-in-a-computer-game, harem, story i read: it was a breathe of fresh english syntax air. Also Runner is my favorite Sovereign-Verse Protag. (<-Biased)

Nope. Not at all.

Yes.

Because I was at one point driving 2-4 hours a day with my job, I listened to most of Will’s books via audible. Otherlife was the hardest book for me to stay engaged into in Audio form. I still haven’t finished listening to the first book of that series. I hate that I could not get into the audio version. It will likely take me several months to read it in written form. I still plan to read it because it is a cornerstone for this universe.

Nope, others might be better written but I don't think its been beaten for best MC. Runner is a great protagonist.

Honestly he has gotten much better as he's written more.

Otherlife is in my Top 3. i think ive reread the series 4 times. The one i had the most trouble on is Dungeon Deposed and i still havnt finished book 1. i think im like almost half way through(this was probably 2 years ago) i dont know if ill ever finish honestly

Honestly I wish I read it sooner. I was laughing the entire time. Especially at the beginning.

This is what I go by ... williamdarand.fandom.com/wiki/Suggested_Reading_order

I thought SO wasn't part of Sovereign-verse?

So I did find the post on William's FB page where he confirmed SO is in the Sovereign-verse. Think the link below will work. But that still doesn't explain what the best reading order will be for SSoSH 6 vs WW 6 vs SO vs Save State Hero. www.facebook.com/WilliamDArand/posts/pfbid02bSYiAyDrqgR9vookFiomPuen8X8X7oQvSvXM3avi9P4ZPxoLmR7Mn...

For anyone curious about this question. I asked him in his Discord and he responded with this as the chronological order way down the road: "In the future... Ssosh4 5 Ww 4 5 Ssh 1 Ssosh 6 Ww 6 Ssh 2 So 1 2 3 Ssh 3 Weird but workable"
