The First Quest

Monster Girl Sanctuary

By: Virgil Knightley

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Aurora Bliss

Destiny awaits…whether you’re ready for it or not.

Bucky Drake literally just got his managerial position at McDaniel’s, but he’s already been promoted to "Hero" whether or not he's interested in the job. Dragged against his will through a yawning purple vortex by a mouthy catgirl, he finds himself in another world full of vivid colors—and peerless beauties. Cowgirls, lamias, satyresses, unicorns, and even elves of all colors of the rainbow make his acquaintance early and often...and he handles them pretty darn well for a random fast food worker in over his head.

That's the way things are going to be from now on. On Lusteria, the population is largely female and made up of monster women and elves. There is the odd transmigrated human here and there, but Bucky is special. He’s been chosen.

But chosen for what?

The three Dark Queens must be defeated. Bucky isn’t totally sold on the idea, though, not just yet. For now, he’s satisfied to just enjoy the simple life in Tater Town, the small, dumbly-named village he’s grown to call home.

He’ll get around to being a hero…eventually.

Anxiously waiting for book 2

Alright Virgil where is book 2? Don’t make us wait a year for the next book. This is one of my favorite books by this author

I love it

I love it and want a lot more just like this. A man that is happy with his new situation and doesn’t over think every little thing.

Just Awesome

The voice acting is top notch, they put feeling and emotion when the situation calls for it, you can feel the tension in there voices

the story does not have an unstoppable killing machine as an MC he get wounded and you see how that affects those around him, he takes stupid risk and doe stupid things, and those around him point it out to him and he adjusts to there advise well sometimes. it makes for a better story when you really do not know how it is going to turn out.

Rainbow Sprinkles is my all time fave, just listen you will see why.

can not wait for book 2

KNIGHTLEY STRIKES AGAIN!

IN ALL FAIRNESS, VIRGIL NORMALLY DOES GREAT WORK, BUT THIS ONE WAS EXCEPTIONAL. JONATHAN & AURORA DID A GREAT JOB BRINGING THE CHARACTERS TO LIFE. SOMEONE TELL VIRGIL TO START ON THE SEQUEL!

half assed

The set up for this book was good, but the execution was lacking. The language was good, and some of the characters had fun personality. The mc had amazing options to be a robust and dynamic hero, but chose mundane and redundant mates that left his skill set boring, or even embarrassing. A hero who turns into a cow or a unicorn is horrible. In the end, the author's commitment to slice of life made the parts that were action fall short. Finally, there was all the waisted effort on breeding. I get that some people are into that, but it came at the expense of the story in this case. No man wants to be coerced into having dozens of children against their will. For a men's fantasy book, this aspect made it closer to a men's nightmare.

good with hiccups

some slight holes, not enough to care about stopping. some real funny stuff as well. over all a good book, if this the end you'll be satisfied, if it continues you'll be satisfied.

FMCs too whiny for me

it got to be a bit much at certain times. I couldn't imagine a harem with that many whiny, bratty women. I'd have ran for the hills.

Finally on audio

A lovely book for the monster girl lovers out there.
Always with the great worldbuilding we expect from Virgil.
Highly recommended

Fun story

Just a fun spycy story with a few twists. The characters are love able and an MC who is braver than average.

good blend of story, combat, world building and smut.

loved this book really hoping for a second one. left on a good ending not to bad a cliff hanger but definitely ready for the second one
