Almost too juvenile

Partial read review (5 hours in) with some specific plot points:

First up I'll say it's entertaining if a little wishy-washy storywise. It's a popcorn book. There are some issues in execution of the world building but otherwise a decent listen. The performance is great so far. No particularly annoying voice decisions to speak of. If you care to know my specific qualms continue on.

Some people might think that calling something juvenile a bit silly within this genre but it's true. I know these characters are very young (after the major timeskips) but the attitude Guy has towards his relationships is so "first thought". The princess orgasming from a handshake was a little much as well. If I just wanted good sex scenes there's literotica.

The non-sex related stuff seems to breeze by. Guy gets told about his aura and related prophecy and he just accepts it and moves on. The group's plans shift subtly towards preparing for this vague threat with no questions asked about the direct source of this prophecy, why a random Vori doctor would react to it, or what his aura actually means for him outside making a harem.

A bit more on the aura because it is a particularly annoying point. The brightness bit is easy to follow. It's basically the same as the current version of the charisma score in that he has a larger than life presence. So far, so fine. The black-white scale acts as a trust scale while colors are emotional/principle cores. White is trusting and honest while black is distrustful and deceitful and grey being described as indifference but presenting as stiff logic. The Nebula Lord (Guy) supposedly has every color represented. That's an interesting thought but how could that possibly be represented as a personality. I can only imagine an automaton with complete personality control or an extreme emotional disorder. I know it's a little silly to get hung up on this but it is an important plot point given its the title of the book and it makes no sense. It doesn't even make sense as a benefit other than giving a in-world reason to explain the harem (as if there needed to be a reason).

If you can ignore bad science in an action movie then you're good to go. This works pretty well as a time sink. Otherwise, there are better sources of smut out there if you're willing to look.

great book

the story was really good and detailed it keep me interested when listening and Daniel and Rebecca did an amazing job with the telling that it brought it all together.

honestly

This turned out to be a very good story but Some parts of an adult encounter should have been left out. (think futa ) after the 1st questionable encounter it never occurred again which made the story so much better.

Good enough

The narration was decent and the story itself was good enough to keep me interested and entertained.

fun space harem adventure!

Good story and narration!

Adventures in open space, space pirates, aliens, galactic war, this one has it all!

Rebecca and Daniel doing an excellent job with the narration!

I really enjoyed the story, and can't wait to find out what happens in the next book!

Really good 1st book

Narration was top notch. A lot of story was put into this first book and I loved it. Definitely looking forward to book 2

I need more

I hope that this is just the beginning of what turns out to be a great and LOOOOOOOONG series

A good scifi harem...who knew!

Loved it. You can't satisfy everyone so of course I have criticism. However, I was 95 percent satisfied so I won't bother listing any. As usuall the narrators are top notch and made a good story even better. Spend a credit and sit back and enjoy.

Great start to a series?

It was a fun and unique Sci-Fi story: enjoyable characters and a unique spin on the OP character. Not litrpg but hints at their being a litrpg side story possibility. More an origin story than standalone so here’s hoping there is a continuation. Narrators we’re great. It is very harem-y and graphic at parts. Could have done without them but not a problem enough to deduct stars. Just be forewarned.

Great story!

Looks like I need to backtrack and read some others that came before. ;) Looking forward to it.
