Publisher's summary

Sean and his Bonded settled in Hearthglen to learn, train, and grow. Taking on an apprentice, setting up his shop, and Bonding both Chastity and Andrea to him, Sean felt like he would finally be able to learn about this world and try his hand at new things.

Sean stepped on some toes as he tried to find his place in the city, but by ignoring conventions, he friended smith and Shaper alike, forging friendships across the divide. The newly formed alliance discovered common ground when opposition rose up to hinder them.

Sean never anticipated the assassins that came for him and his Bonded. With Ida paralyzed and Ryann killed in front of him, Sean lashed out. He killed the attackers, healed Ida, and pulled Ryann back to the world of the living.

Guards rushing toward them, Sean had decisions to make - ones that could shake the very foundations of Hearthglen, and maybe the world.

(This work contains adult situations that some might find offensive, the least of which is graphic sex. This audiobook is about an Overpowered MC, and contains a harem. You’ve been warned.)

great listen

The performance from Andrea and the story in and of itself are fantastic there's a little bit less fighting then the last book and it was just great.

Outstanding

This is an excellent addition to an extremely good series. Somehow the author has the ability to create an MC who has a heart, while not sounding like milk-toast. Many MC’s that are brought to another world, somehow quickly forget the societal norms they had existed with, and seem to match the mannerisms across all levels of a alien society. The MC here encounters trouble many times and ways due to an inability to shift his paradigm after just a couple months. This and many other small bits makes this an outstanding installment in this series. The narrator is Andrea Parsneau, which means the characters, but, and main, are given individual life, and the story overall is given the visceral feel of reality. Very much looking forward to next in series.

Enjoyed this book and the series so far and Andrea Parsneau is Amazing once again.

I like Daniel Schinhofen’s writing a lot. Good character development and a fun story. Andrea Parsneau once again does a fantastic job bringing all the characters to life. She is an amazing talent. My only concern is that the overall story arc is quite large, and the series goes at a one day at a time pace. The writing is good, so the journey is enjoyable but it makes me wonder how many books it will take to get the whole story.

fantastic series

most of the time I am not into a goody goody extremely over powered MC, but this series is great with plot and character interaction. the narration is awesome.
the only trouble with andrea is she is so popular now that a book may come out and take 6 to 9 months to make it to audio version. I really like all the series she narates for my favorite authors but, gee, the wait is killing me. I am hanging on like 8 different series.
of course I recommend this to anyone who likes this genre. you wont find better.

I just keeps getting better

I have been hooked on this series since book one and have never been let down on the subsequent books. the MC is perfect human that makes mistakes but not stupid ones. MC knows when to listen to the brains of the operation, his wives, and when he needs to just follow his gut. excellent job Mr. Schinhofen. Mrs Parsneau voice still stuns me with how well she can do male voices, and I have listened to several of her narrations at this time. The many different types of voices needed for this book impressed me and as i have come to expect from Andrea's work there was emotion and depth in all of them. The voices matched thier characters so well it was masterful.

great book

first I have to congratulate the narrator, she is able to do female and male voices y and with different accents but on this book she made a seductive succubus that definitely got to be my favorite.

and now to the writer, I have already read all the books on the series and is just great, I do wish he elaborate more on the sex scenes but I guess is not his style.

Love the series!! …buuuut

The mc acts like a flustered virgin with EVERY single new girl for a while before they join the family/harem and I’ve lost count of the amount of times his inner monologue tells himself he’s not “that anime protagonist that acts that way”. As complaints go it’s minor when compared with the wonderful story as a whole it’s just irksome that it hasn’t changed in 5 women and 4 books. That being said…. I do HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone that enjoys crafter/litrpg and/or haremlit genres. The political aspects are intriguing and the characters are all unique and well fleshed out. It’s also nice to see a Haremlit MC with friends and associates outside the harem/family.

9.5/10 would recommend!!

Can't wait for more!

I enjoyed these books. I am really picky with books that have harems in them. I feel the balance was great and the story keeps me interested and wanting more!

Still one of the best HaremLit series!

This series is one of my favorite HaremLit series by far, and I am excited to see how it continues.
