Publisher's summary

Former Marine and lonely single dad Will Hawthorne just wants to clear his head with a weekend in the woods with his live-action-role-playing group.

But a careless misstep sends him tumbling through a cave into an alien world. There he finds a dying civilization of bizarre human-animal hybrids, filled with effete males and frustrated females who are soon pursuing him for their own ends.

For Will has stumbled into this world's most powerful legend - a legend of the one who will come to reverse its decline - the legend of the Makalang.

Contains mature themes.

Totally surprised and enjoying

Probably the best harem book I have ever read! Tasteful and well written and narrated. Looking forward to reading and listening to more from this duo!

New World Repopulated

Very creative story but not for young folks due to multiple sexual encounters. Hope he writes more in this genre!

the voices

the female voices sound like the main character or other men. Storyline was fairly good but hard to follow

Great book

This is a great book and I love the original take on the Isekai genre. This is a brand new world not a replica of your generic fantasy world. There is a great combination of high tech stuff and low tech stuff that is interesting. The narrator was decent though I'm not a fan of solo male narrators for harem novels.

A standard, nothing new, but enjoyable

A fairly standard isekai harem book. Predictable, hitting all the right tropes. It was enjoyable and a pleasant listen, but nothing new or different.
The narrator was quite good. I’ve gotten spoiled with dual narration, but Mason Lloyd’s female characters were well done with enough variance. Will listen again.

a young man's dream
a old man's nightmare
so altho I enjoyed the story it's lack of sustainability was frankly depressing

entertaining

entertaining. At times the MC makes very stupid mistakes, other times instantly knows what to do in complex situations. I was not tempted to stop reading the book before the end, though At times I am considering stopping the 2nd book. Too many times when the MC does stuff stuff, that he even is told is stupid, and it feels like too much sex rather then good story.

Full Marks

only complaints are two fold and both forgivable. first, guy wants to go home, but because it's because of his kids it's alright. second, book too short man.
