Story
Milton Frederick never had the chance to live out his life as a professional gamer on Earth, mainly because he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately, he wasn’t returned home after the typical probing associated with such things to tell an unbelievable story to his friends. Instead, he was summarily killed, and his consciousness was inserted into a Station Core, a giant metal egg-shaped object that could use technology to create traps, Combat Units, and other defenses to protect not just himself, but those he cared about.

Amazing crossover series
Reviewed: 03-01-25
The way you know it’s a great crossover series is that this series can also stand alone without needing to read the other series. They did have a dual cast narration but Sandra was the only female vocalized. All the female vocals were done by a male voice. Most background characters who had very little to do with anything were vocalized poorly like the narrator had to many characters to cover to really worry about giving them any personality. The story was amazing it was just the performance that hinders the review.

Master class writing and narration
Reviewed: 07-09-24
I have to say Jessica out did herself with her narration. Her range in this series really shines through out. Vergil and Annabelle did a fantastic job. The story really flows smoothly it’s not to slow and it’s not overwhelming fast. To be honest it’s really refreshing that you’re not over loaded with information done by over explaining things. You don’t feel like you’re missing anything because of how easily things occur naturally with simple logic added. Master Class has to be my favorite series of 2024.

Yeah I not for me at all. This is not a harem-lit. Its just a one sided slavery
Reviewed: 06-08-24
The narration was off. Don't use and English accent for the MC if the rest of the family has an American accent. Also, children should sound like children not like adults. The MC starts out as someone who can't even talk to a girl ( stated in the first chapter) to a guy who never had problem and sees we on as objects to be used and not loved. Starting in chapter 2 and on words. The MC basically tells every woman he takes ( and I mean takes) that they are nothing but for his enjoyment their happiness has nothing to do with it. Whats stranger all the American people he talks to doesn't bat an eye at slavery and even join in. Like its normal. It's really hard to believe that Dan wrote this book. Normally he is well-thought-out and his stories have a more realistic feel. The MC flames to be doing BDSM but that's not what this is. BDSM is about someone with some control giving it up with trust to someone else s e x rarely the goal but sometimes happens after. Here the woman have no control to begin with they are his to do with as he pleases. The women he is with love him ask him to marry and have kids he flat-out says no I'm not with for love I'm only need your body and nothing else. The women don't even blink and are completely okay with him not loving them and treating them as objects. In chapter 13 he says that s e x slaves are wrong and that he could never do it. Then every woman he's with “I own you, your body is mine to do with, not yours” This book is basically about a guy who should never been someone with power getting it. The MC in this book is normally the one being chased down by the MC to stop. You just feel sorry for everyone he is with.
If your into objectifying women and them having no true free will or say. This is Book is for you. If you like a MC who says one thing but does another. This book is for you. If you want a book that fail to explain things and pushes the story forward with the feeling of “ wait, whats going on? Or huh how did that happen?.” this is the book for you.

Story
David has mastered magic, alchemy, farming, and even built his own house. As it turns out, elven courtship rituals are at least as complicated as any of those. David has to overcome many trials before he can call the fair elven maiden Celeste his own. There will be moonlit walks, deep conversations, and a bake-off during which Celeste’s stuffy uncle and David’s… vibrant grandparents will need to get along… Defeating a troll to get an engagement ring is probably going to be the easy part.

Narration blunder
Reviewed: 05-20-24
So book 5 reads more as a filler than story plot but it’s still good. Spoilers but this whole book is elven custom so he can marry. Spoiler again but the wedding is not in this book either maybe the next one……
Normally the narrators are on point but not in this book. Missed cues and multiple repeated lines. The voice he makes is hilarious though. But begs to question if the production team has any quality control. All they needed was for someone to listen to the book before releasing it.

Pryvet came to this land seeking power untold, and he just didn't expect there to be strings attached. Now, he must bed as many beauties as he can, or his life itself will be forfeit. Still, it doesn't hurt that his power grows with each new wife he adds to his growing family. Nothing will stop him in his quest for revenge.

Reviewed: 04-09-24
Okay before I talk about the ending, let me about the narrators and the series. Ok the male narrator irritated the F$&@ out of me in the first book. Narrators should not have a lisp. Everyone talked about how the female narrator had bad acting skills or her range of voices was narrow, but I didn’t see that. The first two books ran smooth they drew in your attention and things kind of build on each other I liked how he had a goal in the beginning of wanting to kill his families murderer, but he never finished that goal.. The third book just went on and on didn’t have very much substance. I found myself drowning out as things went on and when I came back into the story, I didn’t miss anything. It’s like when you watch an anime series and after season one and two, they put a fill in that everyone hates that’s book 3. And that ending it made no sense whatsoever. I understand it’s a harem series with no fade to black, but the ending. I cannot say this enough WTF is that ending. Either he was rushed writing this or he gave up. I will say it made me laugh because I couldn’t believe that that was the ending that he came up with. I mean I knew that the end boss was actually not bad from the very end of book 2. And with a harem book like this you already know any major female rolls will end up in the harem even the final boss. But how he defeated her was sad, wired, confusing, and laughable. But I will say I never seen I coming. Beyond that it was a good series.

Dying might just be the best thing that ever happened to Dare. Not the dying itself, of course, although thankfully he doesn't remember it. He finds himself in a gray void, where a mysterious voice offers him a choice: Continue on to whatever awaits him in the afterlife, or be reborn on a world with video game-like mechanics. Which as far as he's concerned isn't a tough choice at all. Just that quickly Dare begins a new life full of possibilities, eagerly venturing out to explore a breathtaking world, level up and become powerful, and romance and fall in love with beautiful women of an ...

The performance is crap. It needs to be done with real narrators. For the first 8 hours the MC is very frustrating. But the story is not bad.

David has what he always dreamed of! A homestead of his own, two lovely female companions by his side, and a powerful Class that makes life a lot easier. That doesn’t mean things are getting boring! With a grand festival coming up, David is looking forward to fun activities and maybe even testing his strength a little. After all, what’s a festival without a tournament? He won’t be going there alone, though. With Diane and Leigh at his side, things are looking to get cozy. The real question is: will the three of them fit in just one tent?

Join the Legendary Lord as he is reborn again, this time to fight an evil God that's threatening the existence of his very land. But first he has to build his stronghold, battle monsters and get to know the beautiful Elven queen Leyathel, among others if get to know means what you think it means… However, there's a slight problem. He has no idea who he is, why he was reborn, or what he’s supposed to do. Mere trifling details that won’t stop a Legendary Lord even if it takes him a little bit to get settled into his new environment!

Legendary story

The Narration performance is superb. Each character had great backstory. The main character wasn’t pompous like most in the flow from one thing to the next was steady all the way up until the end, where it was somewhat rushed, but beyond that it was legendary.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. As Jin, I’m a man of the earth. A wielder of shovels and lord of rice and wheat. And sure, I also had to die and get pulled into another universe to end up here. But guess what? I’m starting to think it was worth it. I’ve somehow managed to get away from it all.

I have to be honest with you. This series is amazing. Great story, good action, and funny at the right time. The story flows well as the plot advances. like in many series characters are not made and forgotten. I know this is most likely a 3 book series but I wish it keep going on. Read them you won’t go wrong.

Reviewed: 11-27-23
Sometimes I think people are getting paid for the reviews. You can’t call it a bestiary with only 3 exhibits. Hell you get two of them in book1 😑
Book 1 was very good. Slow start but finished good it incapsulated the meaning of bestiary. Book 2 a very slow start a lot of plot building a new character with tons of potential. Anya the god speaks to him telling him what his mission is. By the end of the book I find the MC a total letdown because he has done absolutely nothing. Book 3 the new character forgotten. The words of Anya forgotten. MC dream given up. Bestiary what’s that…? This book was written as if the author had to finish the series and did not have a plan of how to do it. I will say this had so much potential. With books 1&2 it worth reading but once you add book 3 you have to wasted your time and money.
