Monster Girl Collection: Volume 1

De: Sebastian Guzman

Narrado por: Andrew Pond, Erin Bateman

Now reedited and brought up to par with later entries.

A conqueror is only as strong as his assets...and for Auroro, assets can come in the form of dozens of varieties of monster girls.

After telling a goddess of love and passion that I would conquer her, I was dropped into another world: Mistrim.

I have no memory of who I was, I have a wicked awesome power born from my desires, and I have a timer on my arm counting down to my death.

Not the worst starting point, I would say.

But where there is adversity, there is the opportunity for good fortune.

Elves, werewolves, harpies, bunny girls, and more—Mistrim is inhabited by all manner of monsters given humanoid forms—Sentients. And, as I found out, harems are commonplace in Mistrim. I can already feel something awakening in me.

Hmm? That pesky timer? I can add time to my lifespan by engaging in activities that only a goddess of love and passion would approve of. A playful one, that one.

Hold on, a beautiful elf is looking at me funny.... She must be enamored with my visage. Oh, wait, she looks angry.

not for me

It wasn't funny to me. No char acts with sane motivations. It's a cartoon world with cartoon chars.

Ok story, lots of monolog

This was a fun story but there was way too much monolog about the nature of magic. If all the monologuing had been cut out it would have been way better.

I took a chance and it paid off.

I took a chance on this unknown (at least to me) author and narrator. I'm glad I did. This was a really good book. It's a little quirky but I enjoy that . Erin Bateman does a great job as usual and Andrew is pretty good as well.

great start to a new adventure

For those like me who have grown tired of human on human fantasy relationships this is a great listen main character is not op nice setting and the side characters don't take a backseat to the hero. not a slow burn when it comes to fun time either.

The book is worth giving it a shot

A little context for my review. I tend to take it easy on the first and last book of any series as not every series makes it to “The End” and the first of anything can be a shaky endeavor, to say the least. I also try to make clear the distinction between the quality of the writing/performance of the author/narrator and my personal tastes should they differ. This is the first book that I have gotten for Sebastian Guzman and the first time that I've listened to a performance by Andrew Pond. This story is performed by a single narrator. The narration in my opinion was top notch. At the time of this review the narrator appears to have approximately 39 other audiobooks up on audible. As for the writing I believe that it was solid all around and when you take that into account for the first of a new series that's fairly impressive in and of itself. This is the first audiobook for this author, and it appears to have been the first book the author ever put up on Amazon. This series has five entries thus far and the author has the first book of two additional series’ available up on Amazon. In other words, he appears to be a relatively new author in the beginning of his career. The story begins with our hero, if you can call him that, awakening in front of a goddess who makes a deal with him where he has to go down and collect a bunch of women in order to win his way back to her and take her for his own. In the beginning of the story, it appears as though our hero may have misinterpreted the deal, but due to the fact that he's got a countdown to his death which was only minutes away upon entering the new world it is arguably understandable why he wouldn't be so focused on the details for which I will remind everybody that the devil is in the details. Now for me personally the opener was something that I'm personally not a fan of. So much so that it definitely puts me on the fence as to whether or not I would want to continue the series. To be clear this is a matter of personal tastes and has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. As the book progresses it does get better in my opinion. Lastly, I'm just going to say thank you to everybody who had a hand in bringing this book to us the audible listeners.

Great Start

Great start to the series, both voice actors are great and easy to understand. Will continue with this series.

Lots of different kinds of elves, were-beings, etc

Our MC, sent to this wonderful world by the goddess of lust and pleasure needs to collect as many as he can to not just fulfill his contract with the goddess, but to actually survive.
But when our MC and his first conquest reach the city, there are those that sense his "sin".
Pretty good concept and world.
Great story.

funny

it's serious and hilarious at the exact same time and I just can't help but get drawn in

surprisingly good

I expected this to be a perverted fantasy tale and I was not disappointed. I was surprised by how well written it was and the fact that the characters actually had some depth to them. so looking forward to the next book

Monster Girls with the plot from the movie In Time

The series starts of like more modern Sakai, with the MC meeting a goddess of lust and desire and then being transported to this new world with Elves and monster girls in it. And of course, without his memories. All he remembers is that he wants to get revenge on and bang the goddess that sent him there. Will he succeed?

Since the goddess likes to mess with the MC, he is also fitted with a timer on his wrist that counts down to his death.
How does he fill up said counter? You guessed it, he has to bed women(?) and the stronger the soul the more time he gets allocated to his timer. (This countdown timer is also a plot used in the movie In Time from 2011, give it a watch as well.)

The dual narration is excellent, nothing to complain about here. Good distinct voices for all characters.

It is also nice seeing books being longer than the usual 7,5hours. It gives the story time to build up and it doesn't feel as rushed.
