Frontier Summoner Omnibus Books: 1-4

By: Jack Bryce

Narrated by: Alfie Syme, Renée Nolen

4 volumes in a single offering!

David always was an outdoorsman and an explorer. But when Earth merged with the magical world of Tannoris, it suddenly became too dangerous for anyone without a Class to leave the cities. A shame, too, because with elves, foxkin, catkin, and many other magical beings abound, there is plenty for him to experience!

But now, David’s dream just might come true! A mystical ritual will awaken his Class, and a budding homestead on the wild frontier is waiting for him to take ownership.

He won’t be going alone, though—a charming fox girl will teach him the ways of the frontier. And in return, David might teach her some things, too.

Well, written poorly told

It’s clear Jack Bryce can write. The ability to paint a picture or describe an event and avoid repeating verbiage (my pet peeve) is spot on.
Plot development and storytelling is a struggle.
The book reads like a slice of life with a couple of pages of conflict per book but it’s full of contradictions. The world struggles with the frontier that only a few can thrive but the worst experienced is sore muscles or a possible blister. Never broken equipment or fall weather or any disruption to their farm.
Antagonists make brief appearances, and are left hanging on the vine missing the opportunity of developing useful elements.
Acronyms are left, unclear and conflicting explained away due to a dimensional rift. A few times dungeons appear, they are meant to be part of a system, but sometimes appear hodgepodge, with no common elements, responding monsters one moment but then naturally occurring the next.
And to cap it all off, everything is always so beautiful and amazing and soul filling, and everyone is so perfect and lovable and enchanting .
This girl to write is obvious, but from book to book to book it becomes pretentious instead of entertaining.

31 chapters and no action at all.

this story has no action at all. it seems like it's just a love story. there's barely even any magic. very disappointed. What the hell is with all these authors that have this control issue with women? Are they all pansies living in their mom's basement? They always feel the need to have to control the female character, not giving them what they want, making them beg. It's so frustrating every single author that writes this kind of story. Has a control issue with women? Which leads me to believe that they don't get any women. So they have to feel in control somehow, and this is how they do it, it's pathetic.
omg this story is sooooo boring.

Good Story

A good story to just relax to. The pacing is better than in other stories by the author. Performances are great. Nothing crazy that sets it apart, but that doesn't mean it's not well written. It's a great series to enjoy a lazy afternoon/evening to.

Well-written and justly balanced

Yet another enthralling series, or, at least, the first omnibus section of it, by accomplished author Jack Bryce. As usual, well-written with developed characters, detailed scenes of minor and major conflicts, and just enough sexy times between the hero and his budding harem to justly earn a Mature rating without being near-continuously brazenly explicit.

If I were to complain about anything, it would be some of the intonation being a bit off in places, too high, sometimes, when it should be huskier, or too calm when it should be more angry or excited, and the narrator's insistence upon pronouncing "respite" as "res-spite" rather than "res-pit."

Priorities notwithstanding.

It's your typical zero to hero story with a ton of luck with the ladies. Emphasis on the luck. The setting is mildly interesting, main character is decent but forgets what he is a bit too much. Battles are uninspired and oddly paced. The voice acting is decent, though the "songs" get annoying and every once in a while the male reader will squeak out a female line in a jarring way.

My biggest criticism is the complete lack of priorities by the MC and his group. A massive evil is determined to snuff you out... let's build a coop and a new cabin. Honestly the story would have been much better as a (nearly) complete slice of life without a big bad.
