The story is short but super steamy.
It's reminiscent of an Adrian Adams story.
The virtual voice was ok, it had issues with pronouncing certain common words.

Too Many Characters to care about

The story is starting to suffer from the same issues that Bleach and many other shonen manga have, there are too many characters to keep track of or care about. Many characters are
-Spoiler alert-
This is really apparent when a major character dies and we are told this is sad and that our heroine is sad and distressed. they had zero chemistry and their incestuous love scene is shoehorned into the story. the plot is literally halted so they can have sex. katana Jones is great as always.

The author does a great job of building up character relationships in his writing. however, when it comes to actually writing romance he forgoes all details. it's quite frustrating to listen to or read. this author would be my favorite of all time if he wasn't such a prude.

after the events of the last book I couldn't wait to start volume five. unfortunately the author decided that the first 3/4 of this volume needed to feel like filler content. completely all new characters are introduced to the story. The protagonist doesn't learn anything, grow in any way, nor does the plot move forward until the last quarter of the book. fortunately, the last quarter of the book reveals a lot of secrets about the world and our protagonist learns who the true enemy is. while I am looking for it to the next book I am hoping it does not drag on as this book did.
also, katana Jones did an amazing job with her performance. it was definitely the highlight of this book and the only thing that kept me listening the entire time.

Another amazing performance by Katana!
I was captivated by where the story went. Not a twist ending but very surprising and sad how it ends.

Surprise! I'm here for it. This "plot" is amazing. And to think, so many reviews of the first book said there was no tentacle porn. I'm so glad the author remedy that situation in the second and third book. again katana Jones has an amazing performance narrating what has become a masterpiece. I am now spoiled and will forever give all other narrators who read books into a microphone three stars because they are all average compared to katana Jones.

Amazing story and Voice Acting

The author has done excellent job building a world and creating a main character to easily fall in love with. The manga/anime inspired writing may turn non-anime fans off but thats what makes this series charming. The Voice Actress knocks it out of the park and I couldn't imagine this being narrated normally like other audio books. While those things are top notch the editing could be better, there are three to four distinct times when a passage is repeated with a different style of cadence from the voice actress.
I'm loving where this story is going so far. I can't wait to see what craziness awaits Makoto in the next volume.

I feel the author really gets futanari anatomy. Her scenarios are always hot and steamy. however, The structure of the writing could be better. often at times the writer does not say who's talking during the back and forth conversations. thoughts will switch from one character to another and never mention their names, instead only using pronouns. It's certainly won't stop you from enjoying the story.

although I was put off by the first person narrative in the beginning, the overall story structure really pulls you in. especially when the main character finally embraces her sexuality. I'm definitely looking forward to more from JJ Pavlov.

The narrator sounds completely bored while performing this story. it also suffers from poor editing and there are two different mics being used during the narration. however, the good thing is the story is amazing. this book is short enough that you may just want to read it instead of listening to it.
