Monster Girl Trucker

De: Simon Archer

Narrado por: Rachel Leblang

I only got into trucking because my granddad was a trucker, and he was the best damn person I ever met. I'd always thought I was your average dude with an 18-wheeler and an addiction to energy drinks, but it turns out there might be something more brewing in my blood.

Now instead of some desert highway, I'm stuck in a whole new realm, and it's full of worm cults, actual lot lizards, one seriously smoking catgirl mechanic, and enough sand and bloodthirsty creatures to make me think I took a wrong turn somewhere. But if I can manage to upgrade my truck, stay alive, and save a few damsels along the way, I might be able to add a whole new career path to my resume.

Yep, just call me Jack Vale, Monster Girl Trucker. Literally.

I Love Simon Archer

The narrator Rachel was perfect and gave life to the characters. great mystery about other worldly inhabitants that would fulfill any monster girl fantasy! the premise for the story was actually pretty interesting and I enjoyed it!!

I don't know

I do not know how Simon does this you wouldn't think it'd be a good story but it is

Cozy, easy reading

Picked up the audiobook for this title not knowing Simon Archer's rep, and I got to say, at least this title was satisfying, and hit the spot like a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Jack, a trucker, essentially teleports to another dimension and discovers the multiverse, and goes about collecting gear for his truck to let him jump dimensions. Along for the ride is his catgirl mechanic (at first). The plot for the most part is "we want x, let's go get it" "we need x, let's get that".

Some might find the shallow plot a mark against it, but honestly it felt refreshing. Lately I've gotten tired of the "special man to save the world" big plot big stakes. Here, the low stakes allowed characters to relax and focus on each other, the only conflict being the natural romantic tension between the MC and the first girl. Most of the book has the characters doing what they want, exploring--the MC gets to show off earth to a country bumpkin, and bring goods to a poor community, the type of things *I* would enjoy doing.

The MC isn't annoying, and the ladies are distinct enough and enjoyable, although girl2 and 3 show up fairly late in the book, meaning we get a lot of time between MC and Girl1. In the last portion of the book we get some actual tension and conflict and it progresses a little more naturally than some "Surprise climax battle" books. Overall the writing is quite decent.

I hope the author writes more, although with the completeness of the ending, I'm not sure. If there's anything that makes me worry it's that the MC's truck gets a little too upgraded by the end, making things perhaps a bit too easy going forward. If the series continues though, hopefully it'll stick to hauling goods for others and exploring the multiverse's wide open road.

great story

I've the story line, it was easy to keep up with can't wait to hear the next one.

pleasurable read and listen

really enjoyed the story and the characters. there were some gaping problems but overall it still worked. how does a girl who spent your whole life washing clothes wrangling buckets of milk learn as much as she did? she was like a zombie. She hadn't spoken to many in years but out of nowhere she blossomed into a badass in a matter of hours. she knew how to read English, operate a firearm well enough to sniper a motorcycle. It makes the truck capable of hopping between dimensions more believable than her origin story. I really do enjoy the characters though. I can't say I would complain if I were in his shoes.
