Goblin Breeder 3: Goblin Settler: A Slice of Life Base-Building Harem Fantasy
Book 3 of the Goblin Breeder Series!
With Odewyn defeated, I had the tools needed to survive the treacherous Drowned Lands. But before embarking on that perilous journey, I had work to not only did I need to begin construction on my home, but I had to oversee the building of defensive fortifications for the entire city of Gillamoor. The elves were coming, and when they arrived, I wanted them to see an impenetrable fortress.
While that would certainly take up all my time, I still had plenty of work to do with helping the goblins repopulate. When it came to that, my work was nowhere near done.
Although let's be honest.... Calling it "work" was a stretch.

These are cute and fun to read

One Fetch Quest Done, Two More to Go
I’ve been so entertained by this series so far that I finished the second book in three days and immediately moved onto the third book. The third book expands on the story and worldbuilding established in the first two books, and all while maintaining plenty of raunchy sex and growing relationships between the MC and his three beautiful wives-to-be, to whom is added a fourth.
Plot Summary (Spoilers from Previous Book)
Andrew Jones continues his adventures among the Goblins, helping them to repopulate after the evil sorcerer Vogrim rendered the male Goblin population impotent and sterile with clouds of poisoned rain. Andrew is now ready to venture into the lair of the plague beast, the source of the miasma and corruption in the Drowned Lands, and the creature which guards the magical shield which he’ll need to defeat Vogrim.
Before leaving however, he has a lot of other work to do to help the Goblins survive and thrive in a world surrounded by enemies. Not only does he have to procreate with as many Goblin women as humanly possible, which he does every night, but he also draws on his experience as an Army Ranger and multiple tours in Afghanistan to beef up and professionalise the Goblin military. At the same time, the Elves – who once held the Goblins in bondage for a period of a thousand years – have tentatively agreed to establish a wine trade with their former slaves, who still hate them with a passion. What could possibly go wrong?
The Core of the Story Remains Strong
There isn’t much to add as far as the action & adventure, meaningful characterisation, and the titillating sex scenes because there’s nothing really to criticise. The action & adventure is even better in the third book as Andrew and company head into the Drowned Lands with the help of the magical amulet to protect them from the poisonous air that’s turned everything into a diseased and grotesque parody of life. If you’re a fan of Warhammer, think of Nurgle and you’ll have a good idea of what the Drowned Lands are like.
On the home front, there’s a new wife to join the harem: Anna the blue-haired schoolteacher depicted on the front cover of book three. She’s intelligent, fun, and bisexual, much to Cirro’s delight, and she knows more about the Goblin’s painful history than most. Meanwhile, Thilli has finally given up the contrived contraceptive tea and is pregnant by the time they enter the Drowned Lands – she’s only one or two months along, so her belly isn’t an encumbrance.
The Issue with the Elves
I’ve praised the author’s attention to the worldbuilding in this series because it strengthens a story premise that could easily degenerate into an extended porn scene with fantasy trappings, and I maintain that praise in this review. However, I’m starting to sense that the author might have bitten off a little bit more than he can chew in the world.
On their way to the Drowned Lands, Andrew and company cross paths with an Elven trading expedition – now a regular occurrence thanks to the wine trade that the MC brokered in the previous book. The Elves enslaved the Goblins and held them in bondage for a thousand years before the Goblins rose up in revolt 150 years before the events of the series, escaping to form their own independent kingdom. For obvious reasons, getting his adoptive people to agree to have anything to do with the Elves was a hard sell for the MC, softened only by the fact that they overcharge the Elves for the wine. Due to this history, the Goblins’ supposed pacifism wears very thin when it comes to the Elves, and the latter’s haughtiness and contempt for their former slaves are palpable in their interactions; all of this is very well done – until this meeting.
The leader of the Elven trade caravan addresses Thilli and gives a bizarrely apologetic speech about having read up on the history of the Goblins as slaves and their treatment at the hands of the Elves. This feels more than a little contrived and very out of character given the behaviour of the Elves in earlier scenes. It feels like the author is trying to nudge along the rapprochement with the Elves so that they don’t pose a threat when the time comes to take the fight to Vogrim.
Ultimately, the wine trade with the Elves is a subplot, and this doesn’t detract from the story. I just think it could have been a little less forced.
Conclusion
Three books in, and the series remains a thoroughly entertaining read for all the reasons given in this and prior reviews. I still can’t give it more than four stars, however, due to the presence of the same proofing errors as before. There are too many typos and misused words for a story this good, and formatting errors are still a problem with paragraphs stuck together without an empty line to separate them. A single round of proofreading could have fixed all of these errors.
Even so, the series has gone from strength to strength for three books in a row, and I’m looking forward to the climactic finale in the fifth book.

Well paced
Alternate universe, magic, monster, goblin girls, quest, harem adult situations
Andrew continues helping his adopted people, the goblins of Brovania, with the aid of the brave warrior Nerras, his wife Thilli, the wizard Ulenor, and his other wives and friends. Well edited; only a few typos. Enjoyed.

Amazing story with wonderful people
The author does an excellent job of reinforcing how much effort and time it takes to get so many important things accomplished - even with outstanding characters that the reader gets to spend time with and grow together. Truly awesome writing and I am so looking forward to Book 4!

Good story.
This series is really a good relaxing read, easy to follow, easy to understand and just fun. I know what his job is, but several chapters in a row of constant banging was a bit too much. Back to what I like, you have a great imagination for the weird and wonderful in your stories. Some of the best stuff I've read. Keep up the good work.

The third installment shifts more into the fantasy elements as the MC works to get the items necessary to take on the final boss. The character dynamics are good but I wish Andrew had a chance to spend more time with the characters who weren't staying behind to go off questing. I've continued to the fourth book.
