Refreshing and Fun

Revisado: 09-30-22

I really loved the premise and execution of this book. It's a fresh take that is lighthearted while remaining compelling. The unique world and character class made me chuckle more than once, but I had no trouble remaining immersed in the story. The narrators also did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. Highly recommend it on all fronts and can't wait for more.

Delectably Dark

Revisado: 12-20-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A lot of books claim to be dark fantasy but this one actually delivers a gritty yet fun experience. Chad Opo pulls no punches on creating a brutal fantasy world for us to enjoy, but if you're faint of heart, this one isn't for you. If you like Joe Abercrombie's work, then this is probably right up your alley. The MC has been traumatized into being fairly heartless, but he's not exactly evil, just a bit narcissistic. I enjoyed the MC being morally uninhibited by his Earth sensibilities when thrust into the brutal setting in which he finds himself. It's rare to find this in LitRPG Isikai and even rarer to find it done so well.

Some reviewers have accused this of being a smutty harem book, it definitely isn't. The MC doesn't really care about conventional relationships, but this is a far cry from harem smut. Any scene that could be written as sexually indulgent is fade-do-black and the cast isn't composed of love interests. All the characters are grounded and have their own motivations and perspectives.

The plot doesn't drag despite the book's very satisfying length. The action is well written and fast-paced. The politics are well thought out and robust. It's just a fantastic if dark, adventure. The MC is largely unable to fight his own battles due to a lingering injury and relies on cunning to win the day, which is super refreshing in a genre that is dominated by overpowered morons.

Overall, I can't recommend the book highly enough.

Spicy

Revisado: 11-30-21

I really love the premis of this book. It ended up being a spicy fun story. If you're a fan oc Chad mc's who use charisma and questionable wit to win, then give this one a shot.

Ahead of it's Time.

Revisado: 11-19-21

I read this a long time ago when I first discovered the HaremLit and LitRPG genres. I decided to listen to it recently and am amazed by all the things that he introduced to the genre. It's a super fun book that includes cultivation and LitRPG elements. I was a little sad that it's not dual narrated, but the single narrator did a fairly good job with the extensive cast. The book is even better than I remember it being. I highly recommend giving it a shot.

Very Cool!

Revisado: 11-18-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I listened to the first iteration of this book and had been meaning to relisten. It was a welcome surprise to see it had been re-released with duo narration. The story builds a little slowly in the beginning but becomes one of thd best 'alien invasion/post apocalypse' harem books out there. The basebuilding and 'game mechanics' are very satisfying. Fight and spice scenes are well done. New narration team rocks. If you're on the fence, go ahead and buy, it's honestly an awesome ride.

Such a unique story!

Revisado: 11-13-21

It's easy to get distracted by the compelling adult scenes and not notice the complex subversion of the MC's and supporting characters moral values. Two scions of opposing religions vieing to corrupt each other through sex and power games is a surprisingly compelling plot that I don't believe I've ever seen before.

If you can't accept a MC that is willing to be dominated for any reason, this book isn't for you.

If you're still reading, by all means buy this book!

It's a delightfully dark and extremely sexy take on 'drow' society and illustrates the defilement of a 'good' man in loving detail. Highly recommend for anyone who can deal with a less dominant MC! Even if that isn't you cup of tea, check it out... you might surprise yourself.

Instant guilty pleasure for me!

Narration is outstanding.

Familiar but Awesome.

Revisado: 09-17-21

This book covers some fairly familiar ground but has enough of its own spin, and generally excellent writing, that it stands out from the pack. The magic system is really well thought out, and the mc isn't a doofus.
The supporting cast is realistic and has some surprises. Overall, this book is what you think it is, but better. I highly recommend it.

A new take

Revisado: 08-31-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is a promising start to a new haremlit universe. The characters are fun and I can't wait until they are a bit more fleshed out. The spice is well done and the story is unique.
The narration is flawless as expected from these titans of narration. They really breathed life into the characters.
Overall a solid first entry into the genre.

A good time.

Revisado: 06-10-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is a fun beginning to a promising series. There is a bit less crafting and tavern keeping than I expected but the story is fun and I look forward to the big bad being more fully explored. The narration was great. Overall a good experience and I eagerly await the next installment.

Fun in a deadly game for all the marbles

Revisado: 05-26-21

This is a great litrpg harem fantasy. The MC is relatable and makes fairly wise choices, even going so far as to give overall command of his game(trying to avoid spoilers here) over to a teammate so that he can focus on what he's good at while his teammate excells at the macro level.

The harem building is slow, which I appreciate. It is annoying when the harem grows too fast for the members to have personality. Each character becomes a fully realized person to the reader.
The plot has a few pleasant twists and I was never pulled out of the story by glaring potholes or inconsistencies.

The game is very well thought out. There are minimal Stat breakdowns that fit into the flow of the story. Honestly, I wish there was a computer game that mirrored the one in the book. The closest thing I can think of is Dwarf Fortress ant that's only marginally similar.

The narration is top notch as expected from this duo. They both have great range and place vocal expression well.

Overall this is a great series for a fantastic value.
