Story
I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms. As it turns out, I have a few abilities that greatly increase our chances of actually finishing the Path, leading to a life of fame and luxury.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

You know, life is funny sometimes. When I stumbled across a strange weather phenomenon in the middle of the woods, I could have sworn that it was just a prank from one of my friends. But the truth was, it was a portal, and as soon as I touched it I found myself in a new world, one filled with orcs and elves and most notably, goblins. The breathtaking beauty of the goblin women was something I never would have expected, but hey. Learn something new every day. They had a problem, though. A serious problem.

I was just a normal guy making his way in the big city—until I found myself transported to another world to train at the Alpha Warlock Academy. Not only do they want me among their ranks, but they want me to train among the most powerful of warlocks at the Academy. I've got a lot on my plate: cramming spells, training for combat, and trying not to get myself killed during my initial challenges. Fortunately, I've also got plenty of friends to help me out, including my hobgoblin neighbor and the smooth-talking genie across the hall.

An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

Publisher's summary
Come, join us for a tale of mystery and adventure. A tale of discovery and romance….
Alex Khan finished his military service and enrolled in college with the money he’d earned, ready to major in history. But when a nearby lightning strike activates an ancient stone portal, Alex is torn away from Earth. He finds himself on an alien world full of wonder and danger.
Ktor is a place straight out of a medieval fantasy, populated with Humans, Elves, Orcs and other races. A place of monsters and fantastic beasts. A place of magic known as Power.
Alex wears a bracelet of ancient dzi beads. When they react with a mysterious glowing orb inside a long abandoned temple, they unlock a Power within Alex. A Power that makes him both valuable and dangerous to the rulers of Ktor.
Joined by Taiya, a beautiful Elven Elemental Dancer, Alex sets out to make his way in this strange new world. A world of endless opportunities for adventure and romance.
Instead of studying history, Alex Khan will be making history on Ktor.
Come along, stranger. Come along, friend. Come along and we will explore together!

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Story
Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Story
Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Story
Elves were supposed to be gone, defeated in the great war. Magic is practiced behind closed doors, and only by the elites. All I was trying to do was survive, maybe with a bit more curiosity about my master's magic than I should've allowed. He caught me snooping, and sent me on a quest to steal a magic scroll. A quest that would change my life.

But when I discover a stunning girl named Elodie, with cat ears atop her head, working at the shop, I can't help but be intrigued. At first glance, I assume Elodie is just another pretty face working at my grandfather's magic shop. With her sleek hair, mesmerizing green eyes, and curves in all the right places, it's hard not to be distracted by her stunning appearance. But as I soon discover, there's much more to Elodie.

Was good at first
This book started out pretty good solid 4 stars MC had a decent but not too detailed background, intelligent, and had common sense when in a Fish out of water situation, even brung up his military experiences to explain the things he does.... Then he forgot he was a whole grown man and became absolutely stupid. Dropped a star to 3 for the stupid heavy handed concept of - OMG if I touch someone who possess magic and not with direct skin contact we both get REALLY REALLY HORNY. This was a stupid concept and used every single time it's like the author doesn't know how a regular situation like flirting could also lead to sex something... Dropped another star because this guy this dude states he's familiar with the concepts of the other races even the isekai situation he's in and even though he agrees that getting mixed up with officials and people of power is a terrible idea he does it anyway why? Because no fking reason at all. And when it goes south he just goes "MaYbE i ShOuLd HaVe LiStEnEd" all for what just to introduce what 2- new characters later. Stop making the MC make stupid decisions just to further the plot. Then I dropped a star again because even though he's done absolutely dumb shit over and over no one says anything about it. They just bend over backwards for him just because. This went downhill fast. I don't know how to end this review rant other than telling everyone to save your credit if you actually care about stories that make sense and that isn't determined by the retardation of the MC

Fun old-style sci-fi isekai adventure with a harem
As required by U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations and Audible.com requirements, I am disclosing that I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request. I have listened to the audiobook, and I have voluntarily left an honest review. Receiving a review copy did not influence my rating nor my review.
Hercules West is a new author to me, which isn’t surprising given that “Flame Dancer - Alex Khan, Book 1” is his first published book! What is surprising is that his first book has been followed up with an audiobook after only three months! Perhaps the author is actually yet another new pen name for an established author, and already had experience and contacts for producing an audiobook.
Whether this is a new author or new pen name, I enjoyed the story and the narration. The story moves along quickly, and is a fun isekai adventure, though as a presumed first novel there are a few flaws that the author will likely improve upon with further experience.
MC Alex is a former Green Beret (a member of an elite U.S. Army team specializing in counterinsurgency). He self-describes as being a trained survivalist, and then quickly drinks from a mountain stream because it smells ok. Alex is also a very nice, shy, guy, not quite the confident man one might expect from a military man used to high-risk situations. Plot-wise, there are a few glitches. Minor things such as The “Prancing Mare” Inn becoming the “Dancing Mare” inn a few paragraphs later could be eliminated with better outlining and proofreading. Other things such as “I want to talk with Taija when she awakes before making a decision”, and then immediately making a decision while she’s sleeping diminishes the MC’s character.
Now, the good news for anyone hoping to enjoy this book is that these items are relatively minor, subtracting no more than perhaps a quarter star from a potential 5 star rating for the story.
The story itself, the dialogues and the characters reminded me very much of early sci-fi stories (I’m thinking of “The Star Kings: John Gordon, Book 1” by Edmond Hamilton (audiobook version narrated by Kevin Foley), and early sci-fi movies such as the classic 1956 “Forbidden Planet”. There’s a strong focus on action, with relatively little attention paid to character development and emotions. Like these two examples, “Flame Dancer” is a fun story of a man who finds himself a stranger in a strange land. Happily, the author adds the haremlit twist of the adventure including several women interested in our MC, and the “interactions” between several of those women and our MC are quite nicely described.
Both of the narrators are new to me, but each have narrated a couple other audiobooks. Patrick DuBois does a fine job, better than many of the newer male narrators. Hannah Blaire does an excellent job; her voices are different for each of her characters…many of them delightfully sensual. I will happily listen to both narrators again in the future!
I rate Flame Dancer 4.6 for the story; I look forward to more depth in the MCs in the sequels. I rate the performances 5* and the audiobook overall 5*.

Pretty good, especially for a 1st book
A new author in the harem genre and his first book. Let's get the bad or not so good comments out of the way first. The author should work on character continuity a bit more to make sure that the characters stay in character. I thought the mc stepped out of character once or twice for no obvious reason. That can hurt the overall story (it didn't hurt it this time).
However, the story itself was well told with individual characters, not cookie cutter characters. I really like the magic of the world and that it has limits. The timer limit and its subsequent downtime are pretty unique and give a sense of urgency to their use. Now we have to add in the narration team, which is where gets a plus behind whatever grade is given. Excellent job to both of you. They gave the written characters a life of their own which made the book that much better.

Entertaining and fun
Came into this expecting another run of the mill harem/isekai and got more than I expected. It was fast paced and entertaining, and got me hooked on the characters and story. I can't wait for the next one and see where the story goes.

This was good.
This was fairly good. Much better than other books like this, in this genre. The only issue I have with this book is the characters background. He seems to not be that skilled in combat, though they try to explain as away, saying he mostly focused on modern military weapons. The training he should’ve received for his background should give him a lot more skills in close order combat.

Great book
I really enjoyed how Alex got know about the new world he finds himself in and learning about all the new races. I can’t wait for his adventures to continue. If you enjoy magic and adventure, you should definitely check this book out.

Really Good Book 1
This book has alot of story packed into it. I was pleasantly surprised with everything that happens throughout the book. Hercules West is a new author to me, but if they continue to write books like this one I will have to keep my eye open for others works of theirs's. Definitely consider giving this book a chance if your a fan of the genre
The narration performance from the narration duo was great. They did a really good job with the different characters and keeping the listener engaged in the story.

Great Start
I have been reading this genre since Daniel Black series days, so I feel I have read pretty good handle on how these books go. That being said this is a great first installment. The power set he is given is interesting enough and not broken and buggy. The start of the romance part was a little quick, but expected with a length this short.
The MC isn't whiny, introspective or overly alpha. The book also starts off action heavy which I loved. It's a great isekai adventure that suffers little of the problems I feel a lot of first attempts do. If you know what you are getting into in this genre, you'll like it. Hannah Blaire did a superb job.
