Presently surprising!

This book is long, and because of that, some parts did drag on a bit too long. That aside, the store and characters are fantastic, great twists and turns. The fight scenes are great and don't go on overly long. There are a lot of names and characters, but I didn't feel like anyone was especially forgettable and have different POV chapters. It is always a good thing, and I wish more authors did it.

My only real complaint (and it's not really one) the explicit scenes are weird because in the beginning of the book we had a bunch of them back to back and then it's gone or FTB except one other time way later in the book. I would suggest putting those couple extra chapters at the end actually in the book where they chronological go. Don't great me wrong. i can enjoy a book with or without smut, but it's just weird going from borderline erotica to almost a anime/Manga where sex is just implied.

Will definitely read the next one!

So first up. The beginning was absolute dogsh**. You have no idea whats happening, don’t know the characters but get back to back s*x scenes for the first six chapters. Not even good ones. Weird ones. My recommendation: Just skip that.

The middle was surprisingly engaging. The training and the political intrigues were very well written.

The ending was mediocre at best. Too much focus on secondary characters and I think the antagonists in this book could have been introduced better. Its was just an evil organization, that we know nothing about, that suddenly pops up and attacks.

As for the story telling. Im not entirely pleased with that part either. For once the author shifts perspective from character to character and often skips from one scene to the next. Okay, that is called an omniscient narrator. So far its nothing too bad, even if its not my preferred style. What is bad however is that the narrator often does not properly explain how one event leads to the next. Its like there are passages missing. You can figure the context out, yes. But it takes you out of the story if you need to stop and think about the missing part, even if just shortly.
Example: The jump from Sol being suspicious of Ares to using the mirror dimension to Ares sitting in a room looking distraught. You can piece together that Sol cleared him of suspicion and explained the situation to him, but at first you stumble while reading that part and wonder what suddenly happened. Same when its was suddenly only 4 fighters in the arena instead of 10 fights back to back. Or the jump to forgiving his uncle. There are other examples like this.
Couple this with sudden scene and perspective changes and you have a suboptimal narrative.

slow but decent

story is a little drawn out and ends disappointingly early. I like the main character but a little sad he doesnt do anything really special. Barely stands out besides his title. Hopefully second book he gets some power. The "mirror dimension" seems pathetic and doesnt do much for the first book.

solid book

First couple of chapters had me a bit iffy with this book with all the smut but then man the actual plot starts up and damn all I can say is that this book got me going over to royal road to read more of this. Definitely getting the second book just to support the author

Good Read

An interesting story with well drawn characters. The characters continue to develop and grow as the storyline progresses. This is a long detailed book and I don’t plan to read book 2 at this time.

[Dantegideon]

There are definitely some good bits in this, although the plot goes a bit middle school syndrome by the end. But too much gross bonking, too much weird stuff that doesn’t really add anything to the story. Probably wouldn’t read another, on balance.

[Roberto Flores]

Missing an actual story.

This needs something, there are plenty of adult scenes but very little actual story. A minimum balance is needed in any book, this has failed to hit that mark.

[Starr]

Strange book the guy is basically given an order to sleep with everything in the castle 🏰 he's supposed to have as many babies as he can. The mc was a loser before he was reincarnated so on the inside he is still a loser but will be the king 🤴. It's kind of a pointless read 📚 its long winded and written in old English so it slogs on with alot of pointless words the sex scenes are written so cringe the author mixed in about 3 different centuries of slang it was weird and not sexy at all don't think I will finish the book. Plus the way the kingdoms are explained it seems like it's in hell but not it doesn't really explain its strange 🤔.

Ok, but I hope the next book has some issues worked out. The relationships were ok. A little creepy from an incest stand point. A lot of flashbacks for side characters that I didn't really care about. I started skipping them after the first one. The end was pretty rough. Every side character had their own very very long fight. The MC got little screen time. Again started skimming through the fights of the side characters. I will probably give book 2 a shot.

[Charles Hagberg]

Outstanding book !

I have to say I was really surprised at quality and length of this book. The characters are great The story is on the nose what else could you ask for? As I don't give spoilers if you want to know what is in the book you have to read it yourself.. But I will say That is well worth your time to read...

[Chaos]

Really really boring. Not much happened and Sol isnt that intresting or special. The beginning was really weird with the whole thing with his maid. Definitely read like an isekai anime, which I love, but maybe not so much in book form. Ive definitely read worse and maybe I'll read book 2 for shits and giggles.

[Seth]

Very good

Very interesting introduction into a new world. There is a bit of naivety in MC, but it is also slowly moving away from that with a logical progression. MC is not OP, but is growing to be so as part of story. Well done IMO, looking forward to next in series.

[tester]

lol 'lustopia' 'tower of babel', this is really lazy. Chapter two consists of %80 gratuitous, and frankly cringey, sex scene. Starts propositioning random people we've never been introduced to for sex. Unless you really like reading porn, save your time.

[Ben]

Incoherent and rambling

It's not good. There are no stakes because everything is handed to the MC. Women (relatives included) throw themselves at the MC for marriage. The plot changes between the past and the present in a jarring manner. Skip it.

[Murphies_law]

The protagonist is the prince of the kingdom of lust..

DNF at 2%

I read until the virgin gets his intim massage

Funny parts:
"Her magnificent chest that seemed as prominent as mountain" #rofl#
"She was a cow woman" #fg#

[Vincent]

Worth the read

This book started strong and just kept producing results. Not over complicating with magical concepts and just the right amount of adult content with a length to tell a good story. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

[Rob]

It's good but it feels like someone wrote it while on Adderall. Every thought and sentence is followed by 3 paragraphs of info dumping. It gets real old. The author is new and the story is good enough to make up for it though.

[Ben Mcpeake]

7.5/10

[Michael Burnett]

[Genielle Weber]

very Good

It was well written and intriguing I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book. This series is worth reading!

[Kris Solstice]

love sol can't wait to see what happens to him in the next book

[Eric]

I DNF this. The story idea was fun and but the implementation was so boring I just could not make it past 50%.

[Jon McClain]

Dont recommend

[James Riley]

Pretty good

I actually liked this book quite a bit. It's pretty standard harem lit. That's not a bad thing though.

Recommended.

This book is very slow and boring.

[Gerhard]

Loved it

Really loved this adventure. Was captivated and taken away on an amazing adventure. Couldn’t put the book down. Thank you really enjoyed it

[Nathan Lancaster]

Unnatural

I only made it a few pages in but the writing style was difficult for me. The wording felt unnatural to the point that I was rereading sentences.
