I was a bit disappointed by the Book. While its well written and offers a good flow, i missed actual content in it.
Nothing really happens and i can't shake the feeling that you could skip this book and continue directly with book 4 (when it gets released) without missing out much of the story.
The Book title "Alpha Company" suggest that the focus would be on the founding and management of said clan, however actual interaction of our hero with his clan is sparse. Instead the emphasis stays with the interaction of our heroes group which only gets some development towards the end.
I was also missing some grand plan the hero would follow and work on trough the story.

The first book is still the best. One good thing is that I read this book instead of listening to the audio book. I was getting really tired of how pompous Albert sounded and the way he said "kitten" all the time. I found that it wasn't as annoying while reading as it was while listening. The rest of the group heads for long term immersion and meets up with Albert as they start the guild. Not a whole lot happened. It appears that there is more to this game than we are aware of though. Most of the people around Albert are broken and the succubi in the game are helping Fluffball and Albert deal with their issues. For Alburt it turns out that he has forgotten some of his past in order to protect himself. The backstories are some of the most interesting things about the book. The characters otherwise are pretty one dimensional.Some of the other issues are that the action isn't very good, the world building isn't great and the level up aspect isn't very in depth. It was also annoying to read about Albert fighting tooth and nail against having a harem. Like that's a real problem, having too many women want to sleep with him. While most of the book is mediocre at best, I am still interested to find out more about everyone's past and what this game is really all about. I have to assume it is more than we have been told.

3 If We Fail, We Only Die Horribly Stars
Alpha Company is the third book in the Alpha World series by Daniel Schinhofen.
I find it upsetting how understanding and comforting everyone is towards Fluff and her need to hold back from anything more than friendship, when you take into account how they pressure Alburet. Sure, it's nearly entirely different... But it still comes off in a disappointing manner. That these women who claim to love him can't be more patient with his qualms, and instead keep trying to force him into the situation. While you can tell he is still interested in further exploring a deeper connection to more women, it's almost insulting that they aren't willing to understand and work at his pace. While it appears the author is trying to lay the blame solely on his head with his self inflicted wounds and memory repression. I think it all truly adds more credence to view their actions in a hypocritical fashion, when comparing the way they treat two people they claim to care for whom share similar insecurities. It comes off really forced to skew towards a harem.
I was really hoping this book would pick up and force the story into more development for Alpha World. However, their questing was all over the place compared to how they previously acted and seemed moreso to shake up the foundation of their previous growth, than to add to it. Taking into account, also, that they merely spent a slim fraction of the book exploring one small section of the Elven Lands. All adding up into a combobulation of randomness.
I'm going to at least check out the next book because the Dead Lands as a concept are an intriguing mystery hinted at since the very first book in this series. But if we don't at least tackle some of Seamus' deep seeded internalized issues, or have some compounding world building, I won't be reading further.

Authors wannabe sex fantasy in the guise of litrpg
I enjoyed the first two books quite a bit, they had their flaws, but I found the story and the game world to be interesting so I continued. Unfortunately as the series progresses the plot weakens and development of the story quits being about the game and focuses almost entirely on how the author can make Alburet have a harem without making it look like the author is trying to gratify his own fantasy. I have zero problems with sex in books, but the author literally weakened the whole plot by making long term testing to everyone (why have Alburet test if everyone else is doing it?). Now there's almost zero reason for him to be in Alpha World. Instead the plot and premise has shifted to let's grind a little bit, listen to Bob who only talks about sex now when he used to be funny, and then it's all about how all but one female wants to convince Alburet to sleep with him and be his wife. Hopefully the author fixes this in the next installment or I'm done with this series.

I rather liked the development in this series. The MC is starting to find out more about himself that I thought was a nice and pleasant surprise. Well, not pleasant surprise, but it was a nice change of pace for a litRPG. The story sets a nice pace and the multiple plots running throughout the book are not over encumbering to the story and help to set up things to come. I love the character development in this series as we get to know more about all of the characters a bit. I'm awaiting with baited breather the next installment in this series.

Teamwork is the primary flavour of the story, straight from the first book up to the third. While the primary character started off as a lone fighter, he grew to be someone who prioritise his teammates more than himself. All the grinding, special powers, unique loots, and conveniences aside, if you’re looking for a story about friendship and awkward attempts to show others that you care about them, this series would be something to fill that niche

Alpha World 3 worth about 3.5 stars.
Alburet is back for novel number #3, this time with the addition of other long-term testers for the game. We get more background on Alburet and his companion and some extra world-lore. In all this was a decent, if not an all that memorable one. The addition of background for the side-characters was nice, but did not advance the plot overmuch.
Anyhow, this was a fun read and I had a good time.

Ah the joys of running a big guild. Been there done that. Albuert and crew pull their guild together, face some griefing members, etc. Stacey uses her succubus powers to begin healing Fluffball's and Albuert's mental issues. Plus Albuert get's a race change and the whole guild decides to foray into the Deadlands to capture a keep.

A very good book.
The story continues to get better as the author has done a wonderful job in telling the story in a way that makes me want more.

I went through all the Alpha World books one right after another. I considered going back and giving specifics for each book but the simple truth is that each book has the same positives and negatives. The negative is that the author doesn't actually care about telling a story. None of his books involve any kind of a resolution. Normally this is an automatic 1 star since this is essentially novel writing 101. Here, however, the author writes in what I think of as a pseudo-travel style. By this I mean that the author emphasis the journey which takes some of the sting out of failing to reach a destination.
The positive is that the author is a fairly good writer other than his complete blind spot for resolution. The characters and scenes he writes are interesting, which is why I was able to complete the series (at least as much of it currently available). The author does repeatedly hint at some big reveal to come about the MC in the future and the jury is still out on this. The repeated hints are annoying since it is basically the author repeatedly saying to the reader "there's something I'm not telling you" and could be handled better. Still, part of the reason the hints keep coming up is the care with which the author is developing his MC. Therefore it will depend on what is actually revealed to know whether this is a good or bad part of the story.
Bottom line: Not terrible but not great either and lacks resolution.

Review for complete series Books 1 - 8
Mr. Schinhofen's Alpha world series is an epic tale of pain, suffering, discrimination, and the healing through love and support. . A word of warning though the earlier books contain a moderate to extreme, depending on your view points, amount of erotica in them. This tapers off near the end of the story and I recommend readers not to judge harshly. I found the scenes to fit within the flow of the story and within scope of the personality of the characters involved.
It is my recommendation that these scenes be simply skimmed over by readers who might be put off by them. The series contains so much more than erotica that readers would miss out on. Mr. Schinhofen's series delves into the darker side of human nature and the traumatic wounds of the mind that we not only inflict upon others, but ourselves as well. I applaud Mr. Schinhofen for showing such trauma and how with help such conditions can be mitigated.
Mr. Schinhofen borrows heavily from World of Warcraft for his class system and for some points of his story. I believe he is a great author regardless and look forward to additional works he might create.
Very Respectfully,
Shea

📖 Title: Alpha Company (Alpha World #3)
Author: Daniel Schinhofen
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5 Paws from your favorite Ice Wolf 🐺❄️)
Genres: LitRPG, Harem, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, Adult Themes
Introduction:
Awoooo! 🐺 Greetings from the frozen tundra of HowlStrom! I’m Kiba Snowpaw, your trusty alpha wolf with over 38 winters of wisdom (and ice magic) under my fur. Today, I bring you a frosty-yet-fiery review of "Alpha Company", the third book in Daniel Schinhofen's Alpha World series. Buckle up, furries and adventurers, because we're diving deep into the virtual world of quests, guilds, and unexpected feels!
❄️ Basic Plot Summary:
After the epic events of Forming the Company, Alburet and his growing party of friends continue to explore the depths of Alpha World. But things get spicy (and not just in the harem way 😏) when Mindblown Entertainment pulls the plug on the servers to start mass immersion testing IRL! Enter Gerald, Marysue, Karen, and Fluffball as they meet for the first time in the real world — a twist that gives the story a refreshing layer of depth.
The focus? Building the titular guild Alpha Company and tackling the looming quests from both the Dark Lord and Nobility. It's a slow-burn adventure with layers of personal growth, world-building, and relationships (with some sexy times thrown in).

🐾 The Writer: Daniel Schinhofen
Daniel Schinhofen is a name that resonates in the LitRPG genre. His works often tackle themes of identity, trauma, and morality in virtual spaces. Schinhofen’s writing isn’t just about leveling up in a game — it’s about leveling up in life. His blend of humor, action, and emotional storytelling makes him a staple in my audiobook playlist.
If you’ve read Last Horizon: Beta , you’ll know that Schinhofen loves to push his characters to the edge, testing their morals and sanity. "Alpha Company" is no exception.
---
🎮 Game Mechanics & World-Building:
This book nails the MMORPG feel with its immersive mechanics. The leveling system, guild management, and dungeon-crawling vibes give me serious nostalgia for my WoW and FFXIV days. The difference here? The stakes are real — long-term immersion means players are stuck in Alpha World for years. It’s the ultimate “no-log-out” challenge!
Schinhofen's descriptions of the game's economy, NPC behaviors, and unique classes (shoutout to Summoners!) make the world feel alive. There’s also a layer of mystery surrounding the game's true purpose, keeping readers intrigued.
---
🧊 Character Development (aka: Why We Love Alburet & Co.)
Alburet: The MC, a former inmate turned Summoner, continues to struggle with his past while navigating his growing harem (yes, it’s a thing). His journey is more about healing and trust than mindless grinding, making him one of the most relatable LitRPG protagonists out there.
Fluffball (Julia): Her backstory is deeply emotional, and I loved seeing her grow throughout this book. She represents themes of trauma, recovery, and trust.
Bob the Imp: The sarcastic demon companion continues to steal the show. His humor lightens up the heavy moments, and his relationship with Alburet adds depth to the story.
---
❄️ Highlights & Drawbacks:
Highlights:
Emotional depth — This isn’t your typical grind-fest. It’s a journey of healing, trust, and friendship.
World-building — Alpha World feels lived-in and immersive.
Guild dynamics — The founding of Alpha Company adds a new layer to the story.
Drawbacks:
The pacing can feel slow at times, especially during IRL segments.
Some readers may find the harem elements repetitive or forced.
---
🎧 Audiobook Experience:
Narrated by Peter Berkrot, the audiobook brings the characters to life. Berkrot’s performance as Bob is a highlight, capturing the imp’s mischievous nature perfectly. The only downside? Some listeners might find his Alburet voice a tad too pompous.
---
🛡️ Impact & Themes:
Schinhofen explores heavy themes like trauma, redemption, and identity in a way that feels authentic. Alburet’s journey isn’t just about beating a game — it’s about conquering his inner demons. The relationships he forms (romantic and platonic) are integral to his healing process.
---
🐾 Personal Evaluation:
"Alpha Company" hit me right in the feels, especially as someone who values found family and personal growth. While the harem trope isn’t for everyone, Schinhofen handles it with emotional depth, making the relationships feel meaningful.
I’ll admit, the pacing was slow in parts, but the character arcs kept me hooked. I loved seeing Alburet and his friends grow, both in-game and IRL.
---
📚 Comparison to Similar Books:
Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Land come to mind when comparing Schinhofen’s work. However, "Alpha World" stands out for its focus on emotional storytelling and psychological depth.
---
Final Verdict:
"Alpha Company" isn’t just about gaming — it’s a story of growth, friendship, and redemption. For fans of LitRPGs with heart (and a touch of spice 🌶️), this book is a must-read.
Final Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5 Paws 🐾)

May the frosty winds of HowlStrom guide you to your next adventure, my friends. Happy reading! 🐺❄️

Alburet got his guild; Alpha Company. He also managed to get some boons granted from the king that was helpful to summoners and necromancers alike. When Alburet and Stacia married, her parents gave them a house with an attached building for a wedding present. The attached building is perfect for their guildhall for now. Another immersion break took place, so Alburet had to leave Alpha World once again. Happily, he was back on time. The immersion break, which was a promotional event, garnered a large number of players interested in joining the guild. The next few days would be spent reviewing and helping the recruits. Alpha Company is growing! The items that Alburet found in the Forgotten Prison drew much interest from the nobles of Alpha World. They all wanted to know where it was for lost history and/or relics. The game mechanics are spot-on, the author is certainly a gamer. The story is enthralling, the dungeon diving exciting, the relationship between Alburet and Stacia heart-warming, and the remaining cast of characters cementing all together. I look forward to continuing the series.

Not great but not bad
The author kept with his pattern from the last two books. Focusing more and more on the main character and his sex life then questing or world building. There is a decent amount of the book focused on some character backstory but it really wasn't that interesting. Conflicts that occur in the world while questing or within the new guild feel like they are only in the story to check a block. Each being resolved in the simplest and quickest way you could think of, nothing at all has really been a challenge to Alburet and that is kind of disappointing. The books was enjoyable I guess but didn't really stand out to me compared to the first in the series or other books in genre. If you like the rest in the series it will pass a day or two of reading for you, I'm probably gonna pass on the next book though.

The third book in the Alpha World series outshines the previous two books.
I was a little hesitant to continue after the first book due to all the sex scenes. But i’m glad I stayed with the series since the third book really stands on it’s own. Alpha Company explores more of the main characters stories (Fluffball, Karen, Alburet, Stacia and her family.) I think that’s where the true story lies anyway. Most LitRPG authors tend to worry to much about levels and powers and not enough about the actual characters. I’m glad that that isn’t the case here. Sometimes secondary characters will overact, they’ll be too mean or say something that doesn’t really fit what a normal person in that position would say. However those scenarios are few and far between. Overall I’m crazy excited how the story and characters are taking shape. Highly recommend this to any LitRPG lover.

Unique premise makes for a very interesting story. The places they are create situations and challenges, but ultimately a story is about the characters and their interaction and growth. I was so excited just from reading the blurb that I immediately bought book 2, and when I finished this first book and came up for air, I immediately bought book 3. I laughed and smiled a lot and occasionally got anxious for the "hero", but I read all three books in 4 days. Imagine my delight as I write this review to discover the 4th book is available.

I love this series I'm going to be sad when I finish them all.
This is a wonderful progression of the plot and characters, I could read all these books over and over again and often have gone back to refresh myself on any detail I might have forgotten or even overlooked while waiting for the next release and I have NEVER gotten tired of any of them. In case you're incapable of reading the warning in the description please be aware that this book and storyline contains graphic intimate and explicit content! Happy reading to you all!

The book is very similar to the previous ones but at this point it is no longer breaking any new ground and has become repetitive. We keep reading the same daily grind formula which makes it feel more like watching a reality show than living an adventure.
A couple of new things happen but together they probably take 10-15% of the book.
Hopefully the next volume will quicken the pace and give the main character something to work towards different than mob grinding.

Looking forward to the next entries
I like this author. I like the way this story focuses on relationships and character interactions, even when I started to get series fatigue from stationing all three books it never felt pointless to read them, I never felt like I was wasting my time. Like the author said if you don't like books or his writing then you probably should have stopped by now, but if you do like what he's offering you're in for something nice.

An expanding world
I like how the story begins with all of the main characters friends entering the game for long term immersion. There is a lot of character building for all members of the main party as well as more world building a fun nods to other MMOs and online gaming culture. I’m looking forward to the next book as this one ends with everyone set to embark on a grand adventure.
I like how the story begins with all of the main characters friends entering the game for long term immersion.

Feels like one continuous story at this point
I had Alpha Company in hand when I finished Forming the Company. I switched from one book to the next with out getting up and I can tell you that the transition was smooth and seamless.
The Sex scenes have been dialed down and there is more back story about the other company members. if you've enjoyed book 1 & 2 have no fear, the fun continues with no change in style or tone.

A real page turner
While the last book was a bit slow, this book absolutely makes up for it. Action, adventure, plot, as well as some world lore and out of game intrigue.
Some of the topics discussed tug at the heartstrings a bit, but that also shows a lot of background to the characters. More than merely one dimensional puppets, they're imperfect people with lives before the story begins. I find it rather interesting.
Going straight to the next book!

Still going strong!
Normally, I start getting tired of series after a few books. With most, the world building and lore tends to be the most exciting part, and after a book or two the writing falters because the character writing is bad. With these books, the characters are full and the writing is very good. I’m still very interested to see, not what happens, but what they will do next. Great book!

Another good installment
The AW third installment. This series maintains a level excellence and consistency that is hard to find in litrpg. Yes it has sex. No the sex isn't terribly graphic, and is pretty tastefully done. The characters are well put together, and the mic and overall power levels aren't ridiculously op.

Good Read.
A LitRPG story. Does have adult content. The story does pick up from the previous book with the creation of a guild. Some history is revealed of the main character and his group. The book ends with more to be told (with the next book). I enjoyed the story that I read it as soon as I found it available.

Dang You
Yes he ended the book with unfinished things. The story is very interesting and entertaining. He has added a lot of emotional issues. At least he made the choice of what to read next easier. I will be reading L. D., because I can't handle P.S. after this rolled coaster.

Not enough game and too much feelings....
I could put up with the adult content in book one since it was minimal and took a back seat to game mechanics and leveling. This latest book seems to be all high school mushy drama. I felt like it was another super hero show ruined by the CW. Cut the relationship garbage and return to the game mechanics and leveling.
