Generally the most minor part of an erot*c super-harem novel, the story itself actually has a surprising amount of detail and world building, and once it begins doing actual story arcs the pacing vastly improves and keeps you entertained with each situation just long enough before moving on. It does take a good while to start doing those arcs, with the first being iirc at least 50-100 chapters in, though.
[collapse]Harem -SpoilerThere are lots of girls, to the point I can't name them all in one sitting. As of current chapter he has over 40 s*aves who wear collars, two different dragon tribes more or less solely dedicated to him, an actual village of cat girls who have declared themselves his exclusive property, and there's an unspecified but large number of maids (from Diane's family) and whores (from various cities) who are seriously considering just becoming his f*cktoys
Speaking of which, the whole "s*ave" aspect. They aren't. Well, not really. It's basically an excuse that the first girl came up with to be with him despite several issues, and then the other girls jumped on it because it avoided any potential issues with him having a dozen partners in a monogamous country. Also the majority of them are masochistic to some degree so it's a big kink.
The girls all have their own little quirks and personalities that keeps them distinct from each other. I said before I couldn't name them all, but as soon as they're in the scene you can recognize them immediately.
However, get used to the girls not appearing for extended periods of time, as he doesnt drag all 40 girls with him everywhere, especially once they get pregnant (since he logically doesnt want the expectant mother outside walking distance to the healing spring). They do all get fair amounts of screen time though.
[collapse]Characters -SpoilerAnd immediately after saying I can't name all the girls I'm still going to talk about a bunch of them anyway lol
Selenium (half-elf) - the first girl and the one who gets the ball rolling. Once she shows up and declares herself a s*x s*ave to Andy, she creates an excuse for the others to do the same. She's extremely devoted to Andy and is one of the three de facto "lead girls" of the harem, where the others generally submit to her decisions. Has a daughter with Andy.
Apple (half-elf) - Selelniums best friend and the one who actually met Nady as a kid (long story). Initially had amnesia but fell for Andy again basically on instinct, which actually caused a bit of internal drama. The most "normal" girl with no super combat skills, but also the most wife-y of the bunch
Diane (dark elf) - Andy's commander, and is to super knights what super knights are to ordinary soldiers. The only girl who doesnt want to be a s*ave and instead approaches Andy on equal footing, which is a nice contrast. Normally plays the straight man but has some pretty strong urges herself. The second "lead girl" as the only one not technically a s*ave
Laila (dragon) - A black dragon who makes Andy her rider on the basis of wanting to f*ck each other. This ends up becoming fairly important later on, humorously enough. She doesnt really care about anything besides Andy and her friends, and it's made clear several times that the morality of dragons is much different than humans. She'd gladly burn the world down if Andy told her to, and would just as gladly dive into lava for a stranger because it would make Andy happy. The third "lead girl" as the strongest
Anzeros (half elf) - a swordsman and super knight (eventually) who serves under Diane. Initially a tsundere reverse trap, she melts like butter after a while and ends up as the most masochistic of Andy's initial group of s*aves. Has a bit of an inferiority complex towards Dianne, but grows rapidly as time goes on
You can write paragraphs like that for nearly all of the major s*ave girls, even the relatively simple ones like the catgirl who gets attached and actually leaves the village to follow him. There's a lot of detail and care put into each girl, which is impressive considering at this point there's almost 50 of them
Finally...
Andy - the MC. First things first, he's not your typical Marty Stu. He's weak in combat and remains weak, with his few action scenes revolving around trickery and gadgets he comes up with. His only real ambition in life is to spend time doing erot*c things with his girls, and has no interest in power or fame.
What's interesting about him is that the lack of interest in such things is actually a key part of why the girls love him so easily. He doesn't care if you're a dragon that could tear down a mountain, or a sacred Beast with a 100 bodies, or a super soldier who can kill thousands with her bare hands. He'll still see them and treat them as women, effectively giving them a chance at "ordinary" happiness otherwise denied them.
Another is that while he doesnt have any interest in being a king or hero, he'll still do everything he can do for the people he can save. A major story arc later on involves him basically tearing down an entire country and rebuilding it in order to save a girl from becoming a martyr for it.
[collapse]s*x scenes -SpoilerThey're pretty good. God help you if you don't like harem s*x though, because that's by far the most common kink displayed. There's lots of other s*ave play stuff like exhibitionism (they literally put on an art show where a super famous painter draws him f*cking dozens of girls at once) and humiliation (the girls are varying degrees of M, so lots spanking and insult play).
Don't expect anything too hardcore, as there is no r*pe or mind break in this story. It remains on the side of fluff throughout. There are a couple of joking references to extreme stuff like amputee play by the sacred beast girl, which weirds out the MC (for clarification she's a shapeshifter with functionally limitless regen, so such things cant actually harm her. And she really, really wants to show her devotion)
[collapse]Miscellaneous -SpoilerJust few other things I want to bring up
- Andy has weird standards for who he'll take as a s*ave sometimes, because he hesitates for literally hundreds of chapters to make Hilda a "pleasure" s*ave, because she's married to a guy who ditched her for fifty years and counting, but has no problem keeping an entire village as his personal pets
- one thing to note about the s*x scenes is that Andy is not a hentai MC, at least not fully. He doesnt make girls faint in orgasmic pleasure by breathing on them. He can keep going like 40 rounds a night without much issue, and can "conquer" anyone not named Hilda or Cosmos (the super whore) through sheer endurance, and all of the girls are more than satisfied, plus he's undergoing intermittent training by Hilda and Cosmos to improve his actual technique. Just don't expect him to go maximum s*x god on the girls.
- the story has a fun habit of actually exploring some of the things that most novels of this type brush over. One example in particular is that while Andy just wants to love his girls and laze around having fun, the reality is that he's effectively assembled a personal army of dragons, sacred beasts, and super knights who are all intensely loyal to him above everything else. Meaning he has to be very careful with that power to avoid massive political consequences to the kingdoms he's in. It's a nice detail that grounds the world much better than in the typical super-harem novel.
[collapse]It's a good read. My overly long review might be hyping it up a bit much, because it is ultimately a super-harem s*x story, but it's an enjoyable one with a pleasantly surprising amount of depth to it.
