Came into this book with low expectations, and was mostly only checking it out of boredom. There was definitely some cringe here and there, but overall I actually really enjoyed it. Will definitely be willing to check out more from this author.

Alan Moria is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I’ve enjoyed everything he’s put out so far. Greatly looking forward to his future releases.

Big departure for the MC that felt forced

*Mild spoilers ahead*

While I think this story is and has been well written I really didn’t like the direction of this book. The MC is almost a completely different person in this one. I understand the running from responsibility and death angle that the author was going for. That in and of itself makes perfect sense. But the abrupt lack of caring for his previously loved ones and complete switch up to undying loyalty to his new loved ones felt disingenuous. The Jack of the past 3 books loved his sister too much to abandon her the way he did in this book.

Some may say “He feels like he brings death and is safer without him.”. Safer how??? As far as he knows she was left on a war ship in the middle of a battle they were losing with all of her possible backers/protectors dead or engaged. Later in the story when he gets a hostage that could possible know something about his sister or the situation of her protectors he doesn’t even bother to ask. Let alone try using her sympathy towards him to send her on a mission to gather said information. The same goes for him not caring about his uncle or any of his other friends.

Then there’s his tribe, he’s been there for only 3 years and it’s like they’re the only people in the world he cares about. Even going as far as to call one of them his father. It felt unnatural and forced to me and was a constant source of frustration throughout the book.

Wow the voice acting in the is 10/10, especially on by the female vocalist. The writing was really good too. My only gripe was with the MC being a willing pet/slave, that is not my thing and annoyed me a bit. Other than that though this was really good.

Not ground breaking but pretty good. Good MC, cool powers, well written spice. Solid stuff.

Male VA whispers allot which annoying, and another spicy scene or two would have been good but solid otherwise.

This is literally a harem novel set in the Palworld video game. I would have skipped if I knew this going in.

So after not liking his recent releases very much I thought maybe I would stop seeking out Bruce’s work for a bit. I think when an author cranks out story after story they start to become formulaic and feel less authentic. This story feels allot like his early work. Awesome MC with kick ass powers. Awesome supporting cast, and spice!

The one area of improvement I think would be the spicy scenes. The 2.5 spicy scenes per book is the only area where this book still feels as formulaic as the newer books. Also the scenes felt a bit short and lacked detail and lines from the female roll. That being said I still loved this book more than anything Bruce has done since Dragons Justice ended. Massive thumbs up.

Really disappointed, the amount of time we had to wait for this book and its…….average? Unfortunately, I’ll be stopping this series I once loved here. The book wasn’t bad it was just very flat, the skill progression is extremely slow even though the book felt like a constant fight scene. Most of those fight scenes you can skip to the end of and not miss a thing. We don’t get to see the city the story is built around at all, nor do we get any information on the growth of the budding Vertuse empire outside of the game. Allot of the things I’ve loved about this series up until now were cut for some reason.

Thought this would be a harem novel, but it’s actually a Poly relationship instead. Not usually my thing, but I still enjoyed the story a good amount. I’m interested to see where it goes.

You ever watch a movie where you objectively know it’s bad, but you still like it? That’s how I felt about this book. There’s literally no plot for the first 2 hours, and even after that it’s nonsensical at points. Chapter 11 almost made me put the book down. But that wasn’t even my main problem with it. This voice acting pair is bad on both ends. The book feels like it was recorded on an iPhone with a mic plugged in. Swallowing noises, deep breaths in between sentences, bad pronunciation, it’s like they didn’t even bother editing at all. Both of the voice actors only have 2 voices as well, there’s no range at all. Better VA’s would have made some of the problems with the story more bearable.

That aside, there are things about the story that have genuinely caught my interest, the MCs powers and potential have me looking forward to seeing to what he becomes. I’ll continue with the series because of that alone.
