Aspirant 2: A Sci-Fi Harem Adventure
Lifestream™: Live to Play, Play to Win A hero and his harem, a digital game of survival, and zero respawns. Level up...or lose everything. There's just one little obstacle to staying Virtually all the four-hundred million other players. Sam and the girls are about to discover that in the Threvian’s addictive MMO there is no winning, just a no-holds 24/7/365 digital existence. Lifestream is an endless open-world fantasy where time-in-queue is the only consequence for a pacified population, for everyone but Sam and his Aspirant team. Consciousnesses without physical forms, death in-game is game-over in the real world for our heroes. Sam and the Crew must work harder than ever to outrun the Aspirant program’s consequences. With Sam’s only focus on escaping this digital prison, he’s missed a crucial asset that could change the fortunes of one lucky Sam himself. Sam’s Aspirant gifts are a powerful weapon for guilds vying to turn Lifestream to their advantage. Sam will make friends and enemies of fearful wizards, space pirates, and cyber-brothel madams. He may even survive the betrayal of an ally. But can he outwit Lifestream’s guilds to keep his life and become its first champion? Warning! Aspirant 2 contains graphic sexy times of the regular and monster girl variety. It also contains memes, cussing and cheesy references!

Falls into a major SciFi plothole of an alien species wanting raw resources from Earth's surface. If you know ANYTHING about the makeup of our solar system then you know that the only thing that can't be found elsewhere in the solar system is our ecosystem. Even raw biomass may be present elsewhere such as Titan...
Trans-uranics? Star-lifting and fusion. Fusion fuel? Jupiter. Metals? Asteroids and all of Mercury for starters. Water and exotic ice? Oort cloud, Kuiper Belt, Comets, Neptune and Uranus. Raw power? Statite arrays over the Sun with microwave beamed power relays. This is all 'near-future' tech for us and yet our Alien overlords who are FTL capable don't use it? Doesn't float, sorry.
Aside from that MAJOR plot grievance which I have, you're going to see further plot development of the characters and a transitioning away from the horror which the Citadel carried to a "we need to save the world and get our bodies back" narrative, complete with the "heroic outsider fighting to save those who despise her existence" character archetype.
I'm desperately trying not to hammer on the book too hard but I can't help but feel let down by this sequel.

First book was ok, it got a bit ridiculous toward the end. Was somewhat sceptical about the sequel. Wish I listen to that voice. Never seen a sequel crashed this bad. They keeped the boring thing stalking them and runs and runs gets to a game world and runs and runs. The characters are so stupid and makes such idiotic mistakes one after another. Everything is solved by plotarmor and even the characters mentioned deux ex machina. The book also goes full erotica, not harem like. The heroines turns lesbians. They goes to a sex city, goes to a brothel and works for the madam. There is no character developement and there is just a new thing after another.

Great second book of the series!
It is a wild ride, and Maxx pulls off another great book! Sam and his ladies continue to narrowly escape time and again, but it doesn’t get stale or seem to be by rote. From the Citadel to Lifestream, Sam and Company continue their quest to save the world and it’s broken citizens after a brutal invasion. The Aspirant’s company grows, new characters are refreshing. Can’t wait for book 3. Hurry up, Maxx!

Please edit!
There are so many editing apps available that can be used, please download one and use it! It’s very annoying to stop and process what you’re trying to say. It really cuts down the enjoyment of the book.
