Opulence

An Imperial Slice of Life (The Grand Imperial Prince, Book 1)

De: Kingsley Khan

Narrado por: Charlie West, Rose Trailings

Jason wakes in the most unpleasant of circumstances, in a body not his own and in a world most certainly unfamiliar.

The finery and splendor of the Grand Imperial Prince Magnus Torvon Thull Heir Apparent to the Thull empire is a world of gold and silver beset upon fine black and white marble.

The women of this Grand Prince’s empire clamor for his attention amongst the parties, drugs, and (not-so-great minstrel music).

Jason will have to fix the decrepit state Magnus’s body has sunken into from a life of decadent pleasures. While figuring out what the heck is going on.

Each new twist in the imperial pleasure palace’s gilded halls holds secrets hidden as deep within as the black obsidian maws of horror that lead to the world dungeon buried below their feet.

He may never find out how he got to this world of soft delights, but Jason is going to make the most of it while he can.

This is an imperial slice of life story.

Awesome

This was really fun and spicy but no to serious but with possibility to be so depending how the story progresses with the dungeon and the nobles, hopefully book releases soon because it's been over half a year since book 1 came out

Love the egregiousness of it all.

Likes:
-insane fanaticism of people around the prince.
-MC who has to turn course of his new life slowly(ish) to appear “normal”.
-the perverseness of the setting and servants.
-hints of decent world building.
-MC is level headed(ish).

Dislikes:
-VA’s are a bit mid. Male VA had better quality of sound and vocal range. Female VA needs better audio quality and range, but does well in spice scenes.
-story kinda meanders without real purpose.
-names are hard to remember, especially of the side characters of the peerage.(lady this, lord that)
-though the story is raunchy, MC is almost chaste the whole story…

Its rough.

Just going to say. Be aware of what you getting. This book is 50% adult and 50% story. I haven't ran into a book this adult heavy since Succubus Lord by Eric Vall. I prefer 20% adult and 80% story.
That being said. Its rough. I like the world, some of the characters and the way the magic works. The Mc is the best the situations allow. Also the dude is not a whiner. Its a good take on how some one being thrown into a weird situation would act and react.
Charlie and Rose are pretty good. Im going to look for more books with either of them.

I will get the follow up books.

Not what I expected

Though it was not what I expected it was a fun read. I will definitely be getting the second book when it comes out. There are plenty of plot points I can't wait to see play out.

One few harem books the break stereotypical tropes.

My favorite part is a lack of reluctant hero BS. While I would prefer a little more ambition at least he has some. I also love the lack of preaching idealism. Power with responsibility is nice although his one duty of producing heirs is one he is lacking but I assume in later books will produce.

Don’t know how to feel

While I kinda like this book I don’t really know what to think of it. It’s like 85% sex, 10% plot (which is sex), 5% confusion because I don’t understand what’s going on

surprisingly good

The book is definitely for adults, it has detailed explicit acts... but there is actual world building that made me wanting to know more. The MC is isekaied in the body of an obscene imperial prince with insane power and authority. MC is also not a massive A-hole or really stupid, he seems like a normal guy who actually wants to better himself and is fair to others.

Verbs

Author needs to move away from adjectives to verbs. Torture moving from one scene to the next. Like listening to a four page on going sentence in a dissertation, without a point.
