WARNING: Titan Mage is a fun fantasy adventure containing steam both punk and smutty: raunchy sausage-obsessed mechanics, lusty airship captains, prurient mech pilots, and saucy language to match. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

I just finished the Ultimate Supreme Hyper-Mega edition of Titan Mage and this is my totally original and not plagiarized at all, review.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the physical bonds that connects one with their home universe and to assume the powers of Titan Magery sufficient to defend a totally different universe and live on a ship with five hot women who all really appreciate his new body.
We hold the truth, that this is some kind of "Harem story" to be self evident, and that the male protagonist was not created equally, that they were endowed with impressive "attributes" by the imagination of someone with hair that is most likely purple.
I wasn't completely sure what to expect, as I had never read a Harem Fantasy before, but being "not dumb" and also knowing the meaning of lots of words, had a pretty good idea of what I was going to read. (Side note: I'm not exactly a prude, but I am definitely a happily married monogamist who is uncomfortable with the whole "Harem" thing.) That said, I did skip through the "Haremy" parts of the story, although I'm certain they were as well written as the rest of the book(s) were.
All the "Haremy" stuff aside, this was an incredibly well written and enjoyable series to read. The story moved along at a good pace and I cared about what happened to the characters. Some reviews said this was predictable, but to them I say "all well-written stories are predictable because the author can't very well just kill off all of their main characters randomly, you numpty." The trope of this book requires that the main character becomes very powerful and ultimately wins, because how pissed off would everyone be if the bad guy ultimately won?" The only thing that matters is if you enjoyed the story along way, and I did. Is it Anna Karenina? No. Of course, it never tried to be. In fact, I would say it is the least "Anna Kareninay" book I have ever read and it takes not being Anna Karenina to new and wonderful heights. Furthermore, it is also not Great Expectations, but if you have great expectations when you start you will not be disappointed. (Provided you're not a numpty with unrealistic great expectations.)
What is not to love about giant robots stomping around killing stuff? Nothing. Nothing at all.
If I were pressed to find a fault, it would be that there are no tacos, but they do have great brisket so I figure that eventually someone there will figure it out and become the most powerful person on the planet.
I recommend you give this series a try and if, like me, you're not into the whole "Harem" thing, use your fingers and just turn the pages until those sections are done. I submit that is what fingers were made for.

I would like to thank the author, Edie Skye (H.P. Holo), for this signed copy as part of a give away. The Titan Mage series was an interesting change of pace from the Gordian Protocol that I was familiar with from Jacob Holo. I read Titan Mage first, and as I noted before, it was my first introduction to mecha portal anime, let alone harem lit. This side story is a (brief) fun read, with exciting action with titan mechas slugging it out and between the main characters.

The mere fact that this is called “The Hot Springs Episode” amuses me to no end. 😄

A decent side quest 4/5
