Publisher's summary

A veteran hunter. An unimaginable world filled with monsters and magic. Destiny awaits.

When fate brought me to the fantasy world of Aurilon, I thought I'd seen everything.

If I only knew how wrong I was.

Now, I’ve discovered monsters are real, they’re stunningly beautiful, and they need my help. In this world, men’s cores are cursed, preventing them from cultivating and achieving incredible power. Fortunately, I’m not from this world.

With several amazing monster girls at my side, I'll forge a new destiny and ascend to heights I’d only ever dreamed of. But first, I must create a safe haven in the wilds to protect those who have been hunted for far too long.

My greatest challenge lies ahead.

Spirit to cultivate. Monster girls to rescue. Skills to increase. And a boatload of enemies to eliminate.

I’ve never come back from a hunt empty-handed, and I’m not about to start now.

Fantastic

I thought this was a great start to a cultivation and world building story. The MC isnt overpowered by any means and has to learn about the powers hes been granted. He must cultivate to strengthen his powers and nothing is just given to him.

This narration duo is one of the best in the industry. Every book they have done together has flowed seamlessly.

Id definitely recommend giving this book a listen!

the author needs to pay more attention

there are many parts in this book and the next one that feel like the author wrote them then came back and filled in earlier parts, meaning that the main character runs into a problem finds a simple solution then runs into the same problem and somehow forgot the solution he used not even a chapter ago. then there are other things such as an experienced hunter with his pack not having a single piece of first aid supplies on him and yes the author did mention that he has a fully stocked hunting pack. please pull it together there are quite a few times I was yelling at the main character like you would at a bad B rank movie with what happens at times.

Mc is an idiot

he doesn't take the obvious shot ever. he lets people live who he knows will be a pain later. we're talking slavers and mass murderers are the ones he's worried about letting live.
the narrators do a good job as always. but the MC makes the book extremely frustrating to listen to.

Great intro to two genres!

This was my first harem/litrpg book, and it hit all of the marks! Great audiobook!

worth your time and treasure

I was looking for something new and stumbled across this. I quite like this narration team. I think they did a pretty good job all around. As for the story itself I think the author has got a pretty good opener here for a new series. I went ahead and checked him out on Amazon and saw that he's got four books up as of the time of this review and that the first two are also in audiobook form so check it out I recommend it. on to the next one.

Hooked from the start

This book took off running. Action right from the start. Love the MC and the mystery that comes along with this book. I have so many questions we need answered I can’t wait for the next book.

Refreshing story with great characters

The cover for this one caught my eye initially, and the author gave me a code to try it out.

That being said, I’m glad he did.

The story follows an experienced hunter, who is a pretty normal dude who is out scouting for the upcoming season and stumbles across a unique woman who needs his help.

He ends up crossing through to a new world filled with monster girls and “spirit” which is like magical energy that fills the world.

Once he’s there he learns how to cultivate that spirit, and figured out that he can increase his skills by doing so.

He learns that the “monsters” of the world are under attack, and they need his help to rescue them.

I really enjoyed the interactions throughout the story, but I really wish the second was out since there are quite a few questions that were raised in this first book.

The narration is very well done, and really helps the story to come to life. Can’t wait for the second.

headline I wasn't able to stop listening

this was one of the best audio books I have listened to. The narrators were like true story tellers that kept me involved and excited to go on minute by minute and not feel like I wasted my time in the least. More then once I had to stop and listen again again because they put me in the moment where I wanted to feel it again . I will gladly give my credits for the rest of the series.

A nice setup for future novels

I enjoyed Logan and his group trying to survive, not everything was an easy win which is a nice change. Logan isn't overpowered or crazy lucky.
