Paladin of the Forgotten: A Dungeon Academy LitRPG
Travis just wanted to enjoy his day off. Too bad a dying goddess had other plans for him.
Now he's stranded in a place where monsters roam the wilderness, adventurers gain levels by fighting through deadly dungeons, with a strange new class that he doesn’t fully understand. Fortunately, the academy Travis finds refuge at and the dungeon beneath it offer exactly what he experience, loot, and a chance to discover more about the strange class he has been given.
But Travis wasn't brought to this world by accident. Someone has a plan for him. The old gods are dying and Travis is the key to restoring their powers. But he won’t be alone in his quest. A mischievous kitsune rogue, a deadly valkyrie warrior, and an unhinged half-demon woman have already taken an interest in the strange newcomer.
Every level makes him stronger and every bond brings him closer to the truth of what he is. But, if he's going to survive long enough to uncover it, he'll need to become one hell of an adventurer first.

Very good book
This is a fine fantasy harem adventure novel. It is well written and edited. I especially like the kitsuine. I anxiously await the author's next novel.

This book was just OK.
The MC is isekai'd from Earth to some game-like setting with no knowledge of where he is or what is going on. He stumbles about until he runs into a few bullies picking on a "snake woman" that isn't seen again after the encounter, which was pointless except to establish the bullies that would be the half-baked antagonist in the book. The culmination of that antagonist was so tepid that it served zero point to the whole story.
The MC arrives at the academy, and finds out he's "the harbinger" of legends who will bring about change. What he really will be eventually is the new god of Lust, because it's a haremlit story so of course it must be lust. This explains why he feels like he's a walking erection half the time. It also is the easy way to make sure the first LI will agree he needs to have more bonds because destiny says he will, so she'll just have to share.
The first LI is just average, outside of her outsized chest. She's a kitsune, and is quickly enamored of the MC. There are a few others that have potential, and they have the personalities of a shoebox. There was a really only one sex scene, and while it lasted a chapter, I kind of wish it had been shorter. It just didn't come off that good.
Since this is the first haremlit story the author has written, I'm giving it an extra star for trying. But I won't be reading a sequel to this, as I don't want to read about the other potential LIs getting with the MC.

I enjoyed this book, though I think that the book has a little bit of an identity crisis. This is part dungeon crawler, with exploring a dungeon, killing monsters and making levels. Then there is making a God part. In this world all of the Panthéon Gods except two have expired due to lack of belief and worship. Due to the loss of Gods, the dungeons of the world are threatening to break their bounds and destroy the world. Travis has been brought to this world to prevent this and bring about new Gods to save humanity. I get the indication that each dungeon is like 10 levels deep. There are dungeons scattered all over the lands. I would have thought that he would need to build a party go to each different dungeon, work their way down to the dungeon core and defeat it and gain its piece of the mantle. That didn't happen in the first book. Also, no character is a Paladin. Travis' only instructor at this Academy is part Succubus and has basically an unhealthy obsession with him. Since this is a harem book, I understand Travis being from earth and having a monogamous moral system. Since he will need powerful women to fill out a harem if he is to fulfill his mission. This seems to be an unnecessary complication that this story doesn't need. I feel that Travis too easily accepted that he needs to develop a harem.

And enjoyable first book
I think the characters are great and way one FMC is a yandere works well in this story. The story is not anything original but it's done well. I will read the next one.

Holy wish fulfillment, Batman!
It starts like a basic harem isekai story. Dude gets dropped into a new world where all the boobs bounce boobily. At least everyone is of age. Not like Smartphone or Reborn Aristocrat. Especially considering things go far beyond scandalous hand-holding as it gets fairly graphic in the erotica department. Such as one of the instructors pleasuring herself with exacting detail while fantasizing about the MC.
The dungeon stuff and plot don’t really start happening until about halfway in. Even then, it’s the bare bones of a plot as the focus is on other things. Mostly comes down to the MC needing to bone new gods into being to replace the old pantheon.
