Mc is weak and complaining constantly

story's good but weak Mc. weak will and mind complaining non stop. Mc just can't get it together.

Could have been better. But not bad

Not my favorite book. Better than a lot. The whole book felt like he was trying his best to avoid a me too moment. Before every spicy scene there has to be a verbal contract The very first one being done in chapter 16. I believe could have easily been done by chapter 3. Just another book that makes you wonder is this really your idea of a fantasy life. For exe 1: Her do you want to tough it? Him Are you sure. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to. This is every single time. If sex makes you so uncomfortable just leave it out of the story completely this book would have been a lot better without it.

book is very nice

Story and system are fun. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. The narrators kill it the entire time. I especially like the action scenes and how they are described. It's worth a listen.

Amazing Story

The MC understood the direness of the situation, performing honorably. I was impressed by the performance and am excited for the next book.

Good book

A lot of good things that make this a good listen. Though MC is a bit annoying saying stupid shit and acting like an idiot way too often also inserting foot into mouth and throwing self pity parties too often. Act like a damn man not a little punk. If I have to hear him say sorry one more time, or he doesn't deserve this or that.... I may vomit lol. Don't get me started on his "I need to this myself speech and attitude that he always said. Acts like a pitiful whiner and refuses help. Lastly mc comes off as a bit obtuse.....his head priestess all but telegraphic near the end she is off to do something dangerous and likely permanent like sacrifice herself, she says "a I Love you" goodbye meaning like probably forever.His other girl is like I wonder where she is going and he is like duh duh duh she will find something to entertain her....he can't be that stupid right?
