About the author

Began gaming at the age of 8 and explored a lot of different ways to play table top. When I got older, I experimented with MMOs and found a few I really liked. My first job was mowing lawns as a young teen, and I worked to use the money to pay for fantasy series like DragonLance, Dark Sun, and Forgotten Realms. As soon as I discovered LitRPG I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my writing.

Aside from taking care of my sons as a single father, writing is what I love to do most. I hope you all enjoy my work.

This book has a really good overall plot, but the story bogged down in the first half with training montages and other stuff that made it a bit of a slog until they finally returned to dungeon delving.

I like the MC. I like the women he's surrounded himself with. The primary antagonist being the MC's brother (who can't tell that the MC is his brother) is fine, but it's going to be tedious having the same antagonist for an entire series. Especially since the brother isn't a bad guy at all. His best friend, Jack, is a complete tool, but the MC's brother is fine.

I do look forward to where book 3 takes this.

Great followup for Otherworld

This is a great followup for the Otherworld series because it's a new generation with new stories and not a rehash the old series. The characters are likable and the action moves well. There is spice without it being too graphic. I look forward to the next one in the series.

Strong Sequel

I had as good a time with this one as I did with book 1. I think if you enjoyed book one you'll enjoy this one. Kora is great and the chemistry everyone has is amazing.

Worth the wait!

Another fantastic sequel from Deacon, I love the way the story is going and all of the characters are great. There's a fantastic balance of action to downtime and the spice is very well written and placed. Hopefully the next one comes soon!

Really good

Simply put. If you liked the first one, then you'll probably like this one.

It's pretty lighthearted, but I think it will take a much darker turn in later books. So, just be aware.

Highly recommended.

we learn that the church is the bully we think and that maybe the hero is being tormented a bit, some of his party definitely is.

Very good book

This is a fine fantasy harem adventure novel. It is well written and edited. I especially like the red panda were. I anxiously await the author's next novel.

Quite exciting in places. I would like to move the hero twin thing forward a bit more though, it has been two books now!

Just as entertaining as the first one. I look forward to the series continuing.
