Story
Meeting a dark Elf was unexpected. Kuro offered unconditional servitude in exchange for being saved, and Gothy was determined to make the most of it. Kuro had a single request: to warn the Queen that the King had broken their pact. Alvin agreed to take her to her world to report, wondering if it would be as easy as it sounded. Meanwhile, Kuro held up her end of the bargain, doing everything Gothy asked of her.

Gregory and his wives fought honorably and hard to advance to the finals, where their last fight was against the Eternal Flame. With their rigorous training and communication, they managed to defeat the arrogant clan, letting them stand alongside their novice friends as champions. The excitement of being the champions wasn’t the happiest part of their year, though. That came after the tournament, when all five of their friends—Nessa, Daciana, Victoria, Clover, and Ling—joined Aether’s Guard.

John Doc Henry had been on the shortest, crappiest end of the stick since the first day of his life; no parents, bad foster parents, and abysmal luck at every turn. The day his life changed started out exactly like he had come to expect. His car died on a rarely traveled road, and he broke his toe shortly after dodging the one other car on the road. When it stopped and backed up to him, the license plate read “LADYLUK”, adding insult to injury.

Warner spent his days like almost anyone else. He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep. Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over. Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed. The only consolation is that he discovers he’s not quite human, either.

An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a monster. Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe. Except that very same monster is and isn’t Rene. It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted - rather than him being an actual monster. That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that. A day that his career as a hitman for hire built on the monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

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 I might be able to add a whole new career path to my resume.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Publisher's Summary
Alvin had another rough week, but at least this time, he had Gothy with him.
Travelling from Utah to Nevada, they were able to set up two more Settlements. Then they had to visit the world of Fey to rescue the kids of the Beatty, Nevada, Settlement. Just when things looked like they were going well, the Developers got involved.
With the very rules of the game changing, Alvin found himself in a new position. Gothy pledged herself to him through the game system, leaving her collared and bound to obey his every whim. Coming to terms with their new relationship, Alvin wondered what would come next.
He wasn’t expecting a road trip north to loot an abandoned town, nor the dragon that guarded it. What came as the biggest surprise was the chance encounter with a fantasy race whose gate had opened. What would come of this fateful meeting?
This audiobook contains adult situations, in all their horror and glory, including sex, abuse, drug use, and murder. It also contains graphic sex scenes that portray elements of BDSM. You’ve been warned.

worst one.
Having a 16 year old girl get raped and tortured (flayed) was sickening, ruined my whole day. Then later there is wife getting gang raped infront of her husband. This book made me lose any respect I had for the author. I can't believe that so many people gave this 5 stars.
All the sex scenes and sexual innuendo also gets tiring and just annoying, I end up skipping most of it because there is just so much of it. The author seriously needs to get laid.
I have regretted purchasing books before, but never have I been so disappointed that this book series is in my library. Last book I ever get fron this author.

Same problems as his alpha world series...
Just like in the Daniel Shinhofen's "Alpha World" series; the world building takes a back seat in the third book. So now that world building is gone we get to focus on the relationship of the MC and Gothy. Alvin becomes even more of an ass and Gothy encourages him to be even worse. I didnt enjoy the direction this series decided to take. Sadly I think this is were I leave.

Action! Adventure! Hedonism!
Book three expands even further on the world opened to us in book 2. It also gets into stronger BDSM, so if you find that objectionable, then you may want to reconsider this series. To be fair, the main characters have issues, so this fits them. It’s also all done very well, so I myself didn’t find anything distasteful. It definitely adds something to the story.
And what a story! The world keeps getting richer, and you often never know what’s going to happen next. No matter how bad things get, our dynamic duo manage to work their way through with style, snark, and a - in this world - healthy lack of anger management.

Let's Go Dragon Hunting!!!
Great story and narration!
(a new narrator for this book - Tess is great and does a great job!)
Our favorite zombie hunting and monster slaying couple is back and at it again! More settlements! More epic monster battles! More adventure! Alvin's room gets upgraded into a base, and Gothy gets her very own sex-dudgeon. What could possibly go wrong? Oh... and Dragon slaying - can't forget about that!
Another fun book, and great continuation of the series!
Note:
This story is Haram Gamelit and this book contains several explicit scenes with a more S&M vibe.

it's changing and not for the better
The story has enough to hold your interest but the school boy fantasy is getting worse this time by adding BDSM. The over the top sex just drag you out of what is a interesting world. At lest the author did not go down the paedophelia looking wrote it seemed like he was going to go with in this book. The change of narrators is a bit distracting with all the characters now having new voices that don't match to the previous two books while she does a good job it's not what you are expecting. if it wasn't for the ending this would be the last book in this series I would purchase.

Disconcerting
The change in narrators really changes things (nothing against Tess, got a few books narrated by her) but it feels disorienting having to get used to the new voices.
Also there is a big difference between being a dominant asshole and then going full Christian grey BDSM style. The two things don't mesh and it changes the MC and the tone of the book for the worse. Just overall disappointed from what was two good books from people (author and narrator(s)) I've really enjoyed previously.
