Yo, after my last negetive review went without a hitch I have finally finished a book I didnt 100% love so why not make another. Ngl this review came out longer then I expected.

The harem book follows El - a boy with Noble (magic) Blood who gets fucked over as a child, loses EVERYTHING and is thrown into the shittest jail for 15 years. Too bad he manages to escape and is now looking for REVENGE. The story is set in a medival fantasy world which is honestly not super original but good enough. Overall I would say the plot and worldbuilding is fine: nothing u have never seen before but still good.

So why such a title? I shall list the positives and negetives and ull understand.

Postives: first, unlike most op mcs, we actually get to experience alongside the MC all the garbage he suffers in first 30% of the book. What that means is by the end of it when he becomes an OP 2 meters tall alpha chad i cheer him on as he gets the ladies and moves up in the world instead of rolling my eyes.

Second, the MC actually earns all his chad powers: he trains for a DECADE before becoming a chad.

Third, MC has REAL male friends. Yes, that is rare enough to count as a postive.

Fourth, the MC has REAL character development and is overall very well written.

And now we move on to the negetives: first, remember how good the MC is? Too bad the rest of the characters are... fine? They arent badly written but experience no character growth at all. The supportive characters orbit around the MC and thats about it.

Second, the villans are also.. meh. U HATE them because of the shit they did to MC but they are not intresting as characters either.

Third and worst of them all: maybe its a pet peeve, but the author overuses.. not sure how to call it? Dramatic language? And it becomes overlly grating. Like 30% of the book is written like (the next statements are edited to avoid spoilerd):

"A and B rose together and cleared the table without being asked, moving in the quiet coordination of two people who had settled into a shared rhythm. The household had learned early on the ship that clearing your own plate was not welcome. Both servants had made that boundary clear, and no one had tested it since". Or "MC stood alone in the entry hall. In his hand, the contract of a woman who didn't yet know her life had changed. In his pocket, a ring that didn't fit his hand. In his pack, over thirteen hundred gold pieces and a bruise on his left arm that would fade by morning. Everything he had set in motion since walking into this city was falling into place. The plan taking shape around him. C sworn. B loyal. D incoming. And now this. The final piece, held in his hand like a key to a door he had been standing in front of since the first time she hid behind her hair and called him boss".

Do u see what I mean now? Dont get me wrong writing this way is sometimes usefull: looking back at the achievements MC has gotten or marking an importent moment. But its so over used in the book it drove me nearly crazy.

So.. yeah. Overall Im giving it a 5/10 - the postives want a 8/10 and the negetives 3/10 and that is the compromise.

What I mean by that is that Im looking for recs for Tags that fit really well one of the magic schools.

Like Lich tags focus on Necromancy, Vassal Swarm tags like Harplyn focus on Enchantment, Canjie focuses on Conjuration (from what I heard anyways) etc etc. Thx!

Hey, last update I played Gemradcurt and decided to delete forts to save money.

Biggest mistake of the run. So is it safe to do it in this run or nah?

R5: I have alot of extra goverment reform and no idea if it transfers with u when u form the hold

Yo, just realised that despite playing this mod for nearly an year I have already played two Gnoll nations and even then only finished the MT of Gnollakas's formable whose name I forgot.

Tluukt looks intresting but the MT looks weird (like it asks u to build and dev abit before conquering even tho ur neighbors are easy to kill early on).

Just playred the Gnolls near Verne and got an over confident boost. Make me regret asking this question🫡

Literally title. I already got it to level 3 and need to use it twice for a mission but cant find how

Looked at the sub and havent (personally) found a thread with this premise so there you go.

Share here ur hot takes on the RFM genre - from not liking a trope most do to hating a book that most here love (for example hating Charlotte's Reject would be an hot take while not liking harem isnt an hot take here).

I do remind people to remain polite about their takes because being overly mean is just rude.

Ill start: I personally think most slice of life romance books are boring so unless something more happens I rarely enjoy them.

Also, as some might (for whatever reason) remember I havent connected at all with the Monstergirls In Space series and personally disliked it so much I wrote a bad review about it here.

Yo, by now I have played multiple campiagns as human adventurers and have a very easy (true) and big brain (lie) strat with them. Even played as Orcs (Cloudeye) and it worked with them aswell.

But Goblins? They both have shitty tech and dont have the op Orc mil.

So if yall have a strat with them, please share!

Do u like light femdom? Mono romance, soulbonds AND dragons? If so this book is just for you.

Our lil submissive MC gets matched by the dragons with a Chosen one FMC and togethet they fact multiple challanges. Oh, they also ride dragons to battle! The book is short at 200 pages which u can defintly feel: I felt the romance was a bit too fast and more things could have been given more time. But overall the story is well written and lovely to read. A solid 8/10! Ill defintley checkout more books by thst author.

And now, the overview: The dragon rider Rune Goldaxe has a plan: claim his Forsworn, return to his village, and defeat his brother for title of Chief. His plan changes when he is bound to Edda, a wild woman from a fanatical tribe with plans of reclaiming the ancient homeland of the dragons--a task considered impossible. They make a promise: Rune will help her claim the dragon's ancestral homeland, and Edda will ensure he becomes chief to save his village from his brother's violent rule.

Hey, untill the new update been playing with "Responsible warfare for Anbennar" mod and had zero lag issued.

But its not updated to the new update yet so looking for alternative ways.

Been using fast universalis + disabling regions + programs to improve cpu usage, but im looking for ways that would allow me to not disable regions.

Mind you my pc isnt potato but its like 9 years old so.. yeah.

Thx!

With book 4 finally coming out, I thought its about time I review it.

Have u ever wanted a realistic robot romance? Where they dont feel like just women with metalic colour? This series IS, FOR, YOU!

It has realistic romance, VERY well written characters, amazing amazing plot and deep worldbuilding.

The book series is set in the future in a Cyberpunk 2077 like setting with all such a universe would bring. Our protag, Nick, becomes a police detective and works with self aware female AIs. Each book has them solve a new case that grows in its stake and pushes on an overall narritive. Around it the author manages to perfectly create slow born harem romance - Im begging u, yes, BEGGING you to give it a try even if u dont like harems. Hell, im a big harem hater but still adore this book series. Thats how good it is.

Do urself a favor and read the blurb on amazon and then give it a try. U wont be dissapointed!
