Publisher's Summary

Hot elf girls, magic powers, and an inter-dimensional spaceship. What more could a nerd ask for?

When Theodore visited the new animatronic strip club in town, he didn't expect the elves the facility was famous for to be actual flesh-and-blood elves. And he definitely didn't expect to find an inter-dimensional phone booth tucked away in the back room. But find them he did, and before he knew it he'd been sent to a strange and exotic land.

Among The Ten Thousand Worlds, power is free for any with the will and talent to take it. Here, elves practice immortal cultivation, gathering power to increase their personal strength and pursue eternal life. Theo must survive and gather allies, with whom he may just be able to build the greatest clan of all time, all while growing the mysterious power of the game-like interface passed down to him by the alien wizard, and the spaceship he has inherited.

Contains mature themes.

I hate these type of books, the mc suffers from Stockholm syndrome

The mc gets caught and just cuz the elf that captures him is hot he forgives and doesn’t kill elf’s cuz they are hot??? I hate this type of books, makes the mc dumb and a bitch, not for me, not getting the other book at all

Great... another disappointment.

On more than one occasion I’ve stumbled on books with a great concept or a story, an amazing setting, And a retarded monkey (in the near Literal sense), that’s led around by the head of their dick. IF that’s the way the MC is describe, then that’s fine, An idiot does what an idiot does, he’s expected to do the wrong thing.
BUT YOU CANNOT DESCRIBE YOUR MC AS AN INTELLIGENT AND INQUISITIVE INDIVIDUAL, WITH DEVELOPED CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND THEN HAVE THEM ACT LIKE A RETARDED HORNY MONKEY, JUST BECAUSE THEY GOT HEAD!!!!
it is not only insulting to the reader/listener,
but it Completely severs any ‘suspension of disbelief’ and pulls them from the story. Their is no such thing as ‘head SO good, you completely forget you’ve been LITERALLY stabbed in the back and imprisoned to be Milked and bleed like a cow’.

This lever of inaccuracy is a clear sign of ineptitude from the author, as they clearly can’t even keep their Main Characters personality straight.

This was Just OK

This story started out it was quite fascinating and as it went on I found it to be quite enjoyable but soon it took some stupid twist. I know many people would enjoy the overall story but I personally don’t like stories well the only reason the main character survives is because of stupid coincidences or literally acts of God. The main character started off to be quite cautious and very careful in his actions but by the halfway point of the story he started to do stupid and ridiculous things that would just get himself into trouble. It comes across like his entire personality changed in someway.

Harem

good litrpg. There is the harem.... not a fan. the rest of story flows well and is well narrated.

the story was good

Narration feedback, due to the kind of story and the fact that the MC is practically the only male character and the female characters make up most of all the characters in the book, it would have been best if he co-narrated with a female narrator.

Main Character

A weak main character with slow development, already has the body of superman but the will of a snail.

not for me

I don't like story or the narrator but that just me, You will have to listen to it yourself and judge

I truly enjoyed this adventuresome book.

An out of this galaxy erotic thrill. I am looking foward to reading book 2.

slow burn

it took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a little while I couldn't put the book down.

Just OK 3.5

The narrator was good The story was interesting There was something about it just made it There is a few funny parts mostly him And the A.I. Just felt late something's missing
I will give the 2nd book a chance
