Great continuation of AnimeCon Harem
Note that this is Book 2; Book 1 MUST be read FIRST. There is just too much backstory for this to be stand-alone. The harem develops much closer bonds as the girls continue to be magically transformed into anime memes and develop deep love and respect for each other and Brian. Despicable Chloe seeks revenge but is seriously thwarted. There are more incredibly erotic scenes with amazing descriptions. The women begin to understand their unique characteristics and powers. Note the series continues in Patreon for the AnimeCon finale, and continuation of the story in Renfair Fantasy, which is still being written.

Every new piece of fiction by FortySixtyfour impresses me further, and this novel was no exception.
It's easy to turn up one's nose at yet another harem story--and I almost did--but that would've been my mistake. The character depth and growth and interaction depicted in this series is just down-right amazing, and the harem theme simply becomes a vehicle for displaying the author's overwhelming ability to create immersive character interaction.
Every single character in this series has a starting life journey that interacts with all the other characters in different ways, and it's just awesome to read their journey with them. I usually complain, when an author has too many main characters, that it is hard to identify with any one character as *THE protagonist* because either the supposed protagonist doesn't have enough scene time to qualify or because I just don't have any one character I can really identify and empathize with, for the ride. I did not have this problem with this novel. Every character was strong, detailed, easy to identify with, and fun to ride along with.
In addition, this author managed to avoid, to a large extent, another of my pet peeves with harem fiction...the impossibility of multiple people really agreeing on anything, especially in romantic encounters, so most harem authors solve the problem with some variation of "brain-washing magic"...i.e., all the women are forced to get along by magic, or forced to fall in love with everyone else, or the magic eliminates silly jealousy obstacles, or the protag has magical lion god date-rape brain-washing magic, or whatever. Forced relationships, however well-written have always rubbed me a bit wrong, no matter how happy the individuals involved appear to be...it's a little too close to human slavery with a bow on it for my taste. THIS story presented things differently...yes, there was love magic involved but, as near as I can tell, it mainly just gave the primary characters special abilities and assisted them in figuring out that each of them held the missing puzzle pieces in each others' lives. Well, it also helped them pull off some ridonkulous sex scenes, I admit. But the point is that the entire "harem" seems to pretty much share everything and it works...they share power, flaws, teamwork, and even protagonist status. And it all works.
I couldn't stop reading, and when this book (#2 in the series) was over, I was so disappointed there wasn't a #3 out yet that I went looking over at Royal Road for the chapters not novelized yet so I could keep going.

Jerry Jerry Jerry.
The entire time I read these 2 books I could hear the audience chanting “Jerry” in the back of my mind like this was an episode of Jerry Springer! This was unfortunately a train wreck, completely awful but I was committed to the end.
Every character in this should collectively be on enough meds to finance cancer research! I genuinely wonder if the author picked up a book of psychiatric conditions and started writing characters to fit multiple diagnosis. We even had multiple personalities! The real kicker is that it’s being shown that the awful, lying, manipulative ex is going to become part of the happy family. This lady is a classic narcissistic sociopath but hey, let’s keep her around. Despite making false claims and committing felonies and assault.
Seriously, save yourself the time and don’t read this drivel.

WOW I liked this book a lot! A colorfully lovely major
I was excited when this book was released 😱! I had to reread the 1st book to get a firm foundation seated for this one. I will say the erotic scenery was super panting. But the part I enjoyed the most was the amazing color schemes and mental roll play. I really hope that there is a third book!!! I really enjoyed the anime fantasy story line!!!

Very interesting
I read another review that said this story really pulls you in. I agree. Even though these are long and dense, they are hard to put down. This is the story of one weekend at anime convention. Lots of fantasy, sex and now magic. Guess there was magic before but it is now more and more explicit. Obviously the story is not finished and I am finding it hard to wait for the finish. Recommendation, buy in and enjoy.

Long Story
Like book 1, a very involved story continued to finish a weekend at an annual anime convention. It is an in-depth study of a group of individuals who become involved and the trials and tribulations they undergo. I found it interesting however, I don’t plan to extend my time and effort to read any future installments.

a phenomenal part two
This book is seriously amazing. Fourtysixtyfour brings a wonderful sense of character to our protagonists and manages to build a fantastic world for them to play around in. Like before, I absolutely love the concept of metaphors used to represent personal relationships, especially the way colors are handled in this series. Could not recommend more, 11/10

Great Read
I absolutely was glued to my screen while reading this. Some of it hit close to home. Met girls like Chloe before. I sincerely hope that the rest of you out there enjoy it as well.

great and interesting read
The first in this series was quite good, but this second installment is off the charts. Well written with very good character development. I look forward to the next installment.

It wasn't a pulp harem fantasy and it kept me entertained even though I'd rather not listen to a harem story. I'd give it 4 to 4.5 stars but I'm rounding up and giving it 5. If you want to read or listen to a crazy magic harem fantasy that actually has a story then get this one.
