In book three its really questionable why the MC is even involved to the degree he gets involved. book 2 has absolutely nothing with the rest of the story. several quests and events from book one are just completely forgotton about. This book is the perfect example of why I always say on this forum "The numbers don't matter because your not going to use them in your story telling anyways". he needs to survive against a worm, he's going to barely survive the encounter. The MC needs to match wills against a literal eldritch god, he's going to struggle and make it happen. It also does that thing where the MC is exactly as powerful as they need to be for the scene to be dramatic. In fact most of the plot suffers from this problem where the MC's decisions are based on where the author needs them to be in the future, not based on reasonable reactions to what's going on around them in the present. The MC makes a lot of obviously bad decisions, or decisions that aren't even really remotely justifiable because it drives the plot rather than because it would be the smart thing to do. So honestly I have a lot of problems with the series.
