Story4.5 out of 5 stars 154
Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

It’s got everything. Action, romance, comedy, emotional impact, spice. Also probably one of the best narrators in the business.

Amazing series
Reviewed: 05-23-24
Listening to this through a second time, easily one of my favorites from the genre. Unlike a lot of LitRPG’s, there’s actual stakes that help draw you into the story, and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. You’ll still find most of the tropes you’d expect from these kind of stories, but all are handled well. Still plenty of twists and surprises to keep you guessing what happens next.
All of that can be undone by bad narration, but Rebecca Woods does a phenomenal job of bringing every unique character to life. I’m not sure if there are awards for audiobook narration, but if there is she deserves multiple for her dedication here.

Not much to say, if you’re this far into the series you know to expect heartfelt moments, a lot of humor, and over the top spicy scenes. Honestly hope this series goes on for a dozen more books, at least.

Honestly haven’t laughed this hard from a book in a long time, Pretty much the quality you’d expect from one of Mr. Knightly’s books, and the usual top notch narration. Eagerly awaiting part 3, and hope it continues far beyond.

My life definitely wasn’t going according to plan, but that all changed the moment I died unexpectedly. Now I’ve been reborn into the fantasy metropolis of Dragonmont City, where I get a second chance to flourish. A twist of fate brings me into contact with Paulina, the proud but troubled owner of Goblin Girl Maid Service. Together with her slightly crazy best friend Kennedi, these two insanely beautiful goblin girls are trying to get their struggling business off the ground.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 209
Bucky Drake literally just got his managerial position at McDaniel’s, but he’s already been promoted to "Hero" whether or not he's interested in the job. Dragged against his will through a yawning purple vortex by a mouthy catgirl, he finds himself in another world full of vivid colors—and peerless beauties. Cowgirls, lamias, satyresses, unicorns, and even elves of all colors of the rainbow make his acquaintance early and often...and he handles them pretty darn well for a random fast food worker in over his head.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 136
I'd known my fair share of tragedy in the last year. Lost my family, abandoned by my friends... things were looking down. Imagine my surprise when I get ripped out of my own reality and forcibly enrolled in a magic school nestled between the seams of the multiverse. My new purpose? Defend all of creation against the Outer Gods and keep from dying at the hands of the Void Things. But there's something nefarious about my headmistress... something I don't trust. At least I'm not alone anymore.

Months have passed since Steve drove off Penelope’s army, and Darkwood Farm has only gone from strength to strength. It can now call itself a village providing sanctuary to demi-beasts of all shapes and sizes…even if Blesslan’s forces remain parked on its border. For the time being, they’re too wary of Steve to invade, but he’s refusing to take that as a win. To keep his followers and six beautiful wives safe for good, Steve needs to gather all the allies he can get before something breaks their uneasy truce wide open.

If you see the title and expect a ridiculous amount of sex, really over the top, covering pretty much every fetish, maybe introducing you to some you weren’t even aware of… you won’t be disappointed.
What wasn’t expected was a ton of heart, pretty great and ridiculously violent action scenes, likable MC(despite several eye rolls and some questionable decisions), and a diverse and lovable supporting cast.
Topping it off was exceptional voice acting, though a few characters voices could get a bit annoying, can’t deny they fit the personalities, and ended up growing on me.
There were cliches, and some plot twists that could be seen a mile away. All easily forgiven thanks to excellent writing and character development, as well as everything written above.

Dominic Thompson becomes an Infernal dungeon core and is given one task: honor the dark goddess by killing adventurers. Choosing an avatar is merely the first step. To become the greatest, he must make the other dungeon cores submit to him. And that means shattering their jeweled hearts. Or seducing their avatars. Lucky for Dom, the dungeon’s avatars are beautiful monster girls. But they’re also the fiercest warriors in the realms, and there’s a fine line between murder and seduction.

Reviewed: 12-28-23
Honestly I would have passed this up if it wasn’t a free listen, but now that I have I’m buying the series. Not many of these stories have the MC as the bad guy, but he’s also likable, which is also rare in these type of books.
Not too many spicy scenes, and they’re done well enough. But my only real issue is no female narrator for the woman characters. But the narrator did a good job, and that’s more of a personal preference so didn’t take that out in my rating.
