The Fantasy World of Dorbin #1
Arena Manager
Assemble, Train, Compete, Dominate.
Frank lived for his three sons, busting his back to see they thrived in comfort. His good for nothing wife, she made him the happiest man in the world when she finally agreed to his divorce terms. His glorious day turned to ruin when an explosion hurls him through an unformed portal connection.
Lost to eternity and stuck in the void, a happenstance encounter allows him to relocate to the fantasy world of Dorbin. There's a drawback to Dorbin. It's a violent planet filled with ruthless cutthroats, hideous mythical creatures, and all the activities a heathen could ever wish for. Even the national militaries turn a blind eye to the atrocities, only enforcing the laws when they see fit.
The designer of Dorbin calls themselves the Creator. The Creator established a system of kiosks for trading, point tracking, and quest rewards. The being is all powerful and incredibly uncaring, and yet, they gave him a second chance. He arrives marred from the explosion, unable to speak the local language, and about infinitely cleaner than anyone else on the planet.
The challenges for Frank will be steep, the learning curve arduous, and the chances of going home are slim to none. It doesn't take long for Frank to realize there's no place in Dorbin for the weak or the meek. If he wants to survive, he will have to earn it and the ends sure as hell justify the means; especially when he selects to become an arena manager - a dominus of the pits.
Warning: This book is set in a brutal fantasy world that predates modern society's values. It contains violence, gore, slavery, and other grimdark traits along with fantastical beings and LitRPG elements. Think Game of Thrones with bloody gladiator fighting, mercenary teambuilding, and set from one man's perspective. If you don't have the stomach for such content, have a nice day. If you want action, violence, and to be entertained, welcome to Team Zeppelin.

I'm going to have to interrupt this book, even though I've not reached far. Sometimes, it's easy to achieve suspension of disbelief, sometimes things keep pulling you out. This book is one of those where I keep teetering on the edge, for various reasons. One being the chippy tone of the narrator. Another being the casual aloofness of the writing. Another being the kitchen-sink race diversity.
I thought I was detached enough to take the story of a slaver. I guess I wasn't. I was surprised by my own reaction. More than the fact of slavery itself, it's the speed at which someone from OUR world "adapted" to become one of its beneficiaries. The callous and deliberate disregard for sentient dignity in the pursuit of personal wealth.
The book is not "bad" because of this. A book can only be bad for lack of craft, not because I find fault with its subject matter.
What I've discovered however, is that the book is unbearable, to me.
So I'm stopping here.

This is my first book by this author.
Frank Ingrid (the MC) is a human on future Earth intending to travel by portal to see his girlfriend in Bristol, UK. Something goes wrong and he ends up in limbo, lost to time and space until he is sent to a new fantasy world.
Once he gets there, he picks his class and decides to walk around and see people. He can't speak the language, has no money, and doesn't know where anything is. He stumbles upon a woman with her throat cut lying in a river and finds some hidden coins on her. Taking the coins, he walks around until he finds a small farm with a baby crying inside.
Stepping inside, he finds a woman close to death. He stays, tending the woman and caring for the baby girl until they're both healthy.
Once he's given a translation scroll, he understands the language and gets busy hiring people out of a cubicle. You can buy or sell nearly anything for coins, including information, people, magic, and much more.
I'll stop the recap there simply because so much happens in this book that it's impossible to get it all down in a review. This is a portal fantasy into a LitRPG world, and while arena manager sounds like a strange choice for a class, you can also mix it with a mercenary captain.
Which is exactly what Frank does. He grows his mercenary company in leaps and bounds, having a few setbacks along the way, and fights the hordes of monsters (orcs, trolls, gnolls, and many, many more species) who are threatening to invade the kingdom.
On top of all this, the barons, counts, dukes and kings only look out for themselves and not the little people. Frank isn't a saint, but he does have some human decency in him as he makes sure to protect the babies and those who can't protect themselves.
Despite how long the book is, I really enjoyed it which is what matters. It's not a perfect book in that the editing is a bit off here and there (I found a section where the pages were repeated), and the story skips and jumps around a few times.
While there is some time spent at the arena (whether betting or fighting), that's not the focus of the book really. The mercenary company takes center place as counts and dukes try to jockey for position in having Frank protect them from the onrushing horde.
I'm really looking forward to book 2.
5/5* not because it's a perfect book, but because I had so much fun reading it.

DNF 1%
I was cringing from the first paragraph. The over-wrought writing style was so over-burdened with ill-fitting and strained adjectives and similies that my editing hand was twitching. Maybe I could have swallowed my bile if that was the only thing amiss. But, when our hero decides to select a class that, the system claims, is almost interchangeable with "slave-master," and he then looks forward to seeing people fight to the death... I just stopped reading.
Some moral ambiguity can serve to spice up the sense of realism in a tale but ingrained evil is not acceptable in a protagonist. And, for the nit-pickers, I didn't get the sense that the author was deliberately telling the antagonist's story either.

4.5 I Dove Headfirst Into The Turbulent Void, And This Time I Wouldn't Be Alone Stars
Arena Manager is the first book in the Isekai LitRPG Teambuilder, The Fantasy World Of Dorbin series by Chad Opo.
I, honestly, don't understand how I liked this book. I tend to despise the protagonists that find themselves in horrendously savage or unfair worlds, and don't fight the status quo. Now, I can admit, to an extent, that our dear godly cripple could be counted under both directives. At the same time he was truly supping on the delicacy that is carnage within these pages. While eking out an enviable existence, and pulling the lost and wearied under his banner with infinetism of ease.
Frank was an enjoyable character to travel with. This book was an amalgamation of instances I usually don't lend myself to. A character with a unfixable flaw, sadly being something that more than likely will annoy me up to a point. However, when mentioned, this detraction from his godly and magnificent personage didn't make my eyes roll or my ears bleed. Props to the author for somehow contorting me to his Fandom.
There are so many creatures within this new world that I can't even begin to understand, or even picture. Primarily because I gave up after a while and just basically pretended my way through where they were mentioned. Which, was a lot. But I still enjoyed the novelty and twists these new additions created within this very long and very entertaining read.
I'm about to skip on over to the next book. And hopefully the delightful Zeppelin band of Mercenaries will keep on conquering everything, even if it is their overlords.

This isekai-fantasy (teleported to another world) novel series promotes enslavement, slavery and the use of slavery for gambling, personal enrichment and the slaves are used as meat shields, death games, torture, physical and sexual assault, without any ethical values, moral remorse or fear of criminal prosecution. The promotion of crimes (that violate universal human rights) is a crime in the U.S., Canada and rest of the world on Earth and the rest of the Universe.
There is no warning on the cover or inside about adult content, adult situations even though this book and the series targets under age (young adults) readers. Promoting crimes, obscenity is a crime if directed to minors (under the legal adult age). Books like these brainwash kids and readers in general into believing that slavery, physical and sexual assaults to slaves, ordering the death of slaves or murdering sapient beings for profit is somehow ok (in another world). This novel series promotes illegal gambling to underage and adult readers.
Even though a lot of the purchased slaves are set free by the main character, most of the killed opponents and captured "enemies" are sold off without any kind of ethical remorse/fear of criminal prosecution. Because human trafficking, slavery is still a crime proseuted on Earth, the promotion of slavery (even in a fictional story that has no historical value) should be prosecuted as promotion of crime towards minors and other readers.

This is not a book, it's a jumbled mess
Most books in this genre are not great, but they are at least written well enough to be called a story. This is a jumbled collection of ideas that feels like it was written by someone who has never written anything before. Not trying to bash the author, but this is not a level of writing acceptable for a writing assignment, much less a book. There is zero story structure, and I would be very surprised if this isn't a translated copy of a short story from some foreign writing forum.

This book is basically a harem builder. Run around an pick up as many women as possible.
Should have expected it when Isekai is in the discription but i still had hope.
Pros:
Good ideas. MC is at times likeable. MC starts out not overpowerd. (i am pretty sure that will change)
Cons:
WAY to many ideas. It is base building? Is it team building? Is it a arena battel simulator? Or just a pokemon gamne where the pokemon are all horny women who want do sleep with the MC IMMEDIATLY.
No male characters of note. Every male character is either a cookie cutter arrogant noble i can't remeber two pages later or a vehicel to give more women to the MC.
MC has serious emotional issues. But i don't think the author intended it to read that way. He jumps from loving familyman who got divorced but wants to spend time with his sons to white knight saving a dying women (and then every women who are all hot as f) to completly bloodthirsty monster who sends other humanoids to get slaughtered while getting way to exicted about the gore.
Also his sons? He mentions them a few times but doesn't really seem phased by loosing them at all.
Aside from the MC no other male character getzs fleshed out even a bit. Every female is hot and wants to sleep with him but otherwise also is either strong and incredibly dominating ot completly submissive.
Just tell the people who want to read yout books what they go into. A non explicit harem simulator book with a bipolar MC and world filled with robots.

Why you shouldn't trust portals
This was a fun read over all, though for being titled Arena Manager, there was less focus on arenas than I expected. Frank our MC gets killed/transported by a portal to limbo and after an indeterminate eternity he ends up in a world that has stats and levels etc. He just wants to get rich, watch some blood sports and have hassle free sex...but things get complicated fast. Frank cant quite get over his inherent good guy nature, though he definitly kills most of it off. So he keeps getting himself into situations(usually involving women), which complicate his life. And the arena needs money so he has to solve that problem. Life tends to spiral for him and before he knows it hes neck deep in intrigue and war instead of sipping drinks on a veranda like he wanted. A fun book, and nicely chunky at 800+ pages.

A mature story with a main character that acts in an intelligent manner
A more mature story that takes place in a isekai setting with a character that thinks rationally in a darker world with, dark consequences.
If you like stories Revolving running mercenary companies this would be a good choice.
There is some arena team management but a majority of the first book focuses on mercenary’s in mercenary contracts and engagements along with a take of the more realistic and darker side of medieval politics.
Was a very good book finished in two days and look forward to the next book. Will also look for more from this author as I enjoyed his story style.

Different dynamic, but ultimately disappoints
Interesting concept and introduces some interesting characters, but fails to develop a strong plot line or depth to characters. Interesting to switch up base rule set , but ultimately feel this detracts from readability. Tropes abound and occasionally breaks story boundary i.e. “ hey wait did you just add multiple age groups of minotaurs to that note to fill a gaping plot hole?.
Conclusion was abrupt and unsatisfying.
I read it to end and was mildly entertained, but there are better options out there for your reading time.

This is filled with editing errors, and reads like one big bait-and-switch.
The front half is a chore to read with a storyline that is just fumbling around. When it finally starts to get good, the story arc changes to a transition. And this last one is just a personal irritant. Two thirds in and he has a handful of arena battles, he is no Arena manager. He is just another hero with a savior complex, and no concept of follow through.

A good read
An interesting take on the genre, the hero can only be described has manic chaotic, neither hero nor villain, but capable of both. A great supporting caste of some very interesting characters, make for good reading and well worth your reading dollar, looking forward to the 2nd book

Contradictory
I got through half, I can't read anymore. It's obvious the author has a good imagination, but...
The MC goes from MASSIVE white night to cold blooded psycho at the drop of a hat. And it's some very uncomfortable stuff. Also I noticed in a review that someone wondered if this style is a gamer thing. The Stat stuff is, the white knighting is a beta thing.

ep
I never expected such a tantalizing tale. The description sucks and doesn't play to the strengths of the story. I picked this one up and put it back a couple of times before I started reading. To my delight I got an epic tale containing moral dilemmas, double crosses, epic battle and the mundane minuta of life in hostile world

The book could not hold my interest.
DNF at 15 %. I was no fan of the writing style or the progress. The extreme feminist statements within the book ("women are oppressed as they are not allowed during pregnancy and shortly after", "women good, men bad", "men are absolute a*holes if they don´t give women what they want no matter if they deserve it" etc) didn´t help either.

A wild ride
I started this book and a lark and I’m glad I did. One of the best in the genre that I’ve read. Really low on the litrpg stuff. Leveled barely come up, great character growth, battles and team building. Can’t wait for the next book.

Keeps you reading
Fresh take on a grim world. Rough transition. Can be discombobulating at times but worth the trouble. Enjoyable story style of a mercenary army building litrpg. I foresee this having an influence on future writers

Sigh Another Chosen One.
Its honestly getting Auld real quick these overpowered characters, no other book genre does this to that extent. Please can authors not have to spoil their books by making them God/Cheat Heroes. I could not finish at 40%.

The ending was instant and jarring
They ended the last book, practically midchapter, deus ex machina style. It's like the author hit a text limit on a tweet and just killed the series. Such a good series too. I'm so disappointed right now.

Morally grey character done right
The hero of the story is a slaver and you still root for him. The characters feel real and the story is exciting. Looking forward to book 2

pretty good not great
I liked the concept in the beginning but I wish it focused more on him building up for Arena fights rather then the war.

Really liked this book a lot but the editing is horrendous. This is the only reason I didn't 5 star it.
