2 | This one I can't really give a title to. | This story was amazing in so many bad ways. The main character is portaled/isekai'd into this new world which appears to be some kind of Japanese dating sim/school life computer game. But he not only isn't the clear protagonist, but he remembers enough about this kind of game to try to fight being forced to act the w... | [] | B09X6BM6H3 | B09X6BM6H3 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,678,284,662,587 | 0 | true |
2 | Another tale for frustrated men. | The idea here was one I had a ton of hope for. There is a reason that games like Stardew Valley and Rune Factory work, and that is that people love the idea of helping rebuild a small community through farming and adventure. And so the idea that a young man winds up falling through a portal and taking over a small fa... | [] | B0BGMQV6VK | B0BGMQV6VK | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,670,707,336,307 | 2 | true |

3 | The system here is a bit broken and we have the usual dungeon core flaw | The usual dungeon core flaw is that the spirit that controls the dungeon core ends up being a heartless almost soulless entity that exists more as a part of the plot than a true character. And strangely that is exactly what I ended up feeling about Rick and his fellow hired cores Freja and Salter.<br /><br />The idea ... | [] | B09SY644C5 | B09SY644C5 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,664,831,261,613 | 3 | true |
3 | Typical Logan Jacobs tale. The characters aren't dynamic | My main complaint about Logan Jacobs tales is that the characters tend to be limited. And because of those limits I end up bored reading his tales. I don't dislike anything about them, but they just fail to keep me interested.<br /><br />I think its partly based on the lack of depth to the world and the characters. ... | [] | B09RMQJT21 | B09RMQJT21 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,664,365,814,926 | 0 | true |
4 | Logan wrote a tale I could tolerate | I'm not a huge fan of Logan Jacobs. He's a talented writer, but I almost always feel that his tales lack characters. He's a writer of simple tales that are more about getting the female characters undressed and into bed with a male main character who is often less than heroic.<br /><br />And I'll agree that the main ... | [] | B09NLPT1VP | B09NLPT1VP | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,664,111,209,728 | 3 | true |
3 | Bleh, the twists didn't work for me. | This story has a number of plot twists. We do get to learn a bit more about the main character and about events that occured before book 1 in this series. This was impressive. The amount of backstory was something that I like to see. I always like when an author has put effort into developing his characters and giv... | [] | B0B2ZHQJWZ | B0B2ZHQJWZ | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,664,110,060,062 | 2 | true |
3 | No real sports, characters with no depth | I've read many books and series written by Simon Archer. He is one of a small group of authors who specialize in quickly written harem tales that are clearly written for a rather specific audience. I'll admit that I'm not part of the core audience he writes for.<br /><br />And I have some rather consistent complaints... | [] | B0BD5PSTJ4 | B0BD5PSTJ4 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,664,107,818,991 | 2 | true |
3 | I like the idea, but it felt a bit empty | My biggest complaint about dungeon core tales has always been how the power given to the dungeon core twists and warps the character development. This book Monster Girl Dungeon is in many ways an excellent example of how the power given to the main character and the form of the enemy he faces resulted in the majority ... | [] | B0B75GMTS7 | B0B75GMTS7 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,662,981,321,510 | 0 | true |
4 | Warning, this is not the end. | Most authors don't attempt a long open-ended tale for their first series. They have a clearly defined end in mind and thanks to the usual pattern of beginning, middle, end, the normal style is to write 3 books.<br /><br />John clearly did not get that message because while this book does conclude a few plot points and... | [] | B0B5PLY54B | B0B5PLY54B | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,662,656,027,019 | 0 | true |
3 | Its rather "meh" | The problem I have with this story was similar to the ones I've had with many of these isekai harem tales. The female characters just don't have enough depth to support the rather thin plot. The villain is a bit over the top, but the motives and personality of the villain are so heavily clouded that it was hard to ge... | [] | B09YVCBQ4Z | B09YVCBQ4Z | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,660,563,422,748 | 0 | true |
3 | Harry is not my kind of hero | I ran into someone who was shocked that I did not praise this series. It was clear they were a huge fan, and their enthusiasm convinced me to try the first book.<br /><br />Now I can say I understand why some people enjoy this tale. Harry's character and monologues are definitely different from most other books you'l... | [] | B000WH7PLS | B000WH7PLS | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,659,276,969,590 | 0 | true |
3 | is there a formula for writing this kind of Isekai? I've read this too many times. | Man gets transported to another world and has to save a group of all female characters. Its become a very popular trope in a segment of the fantasy genre, and it seems I encounter a few books every month. Occasionally I risk my sanity and pick one up.<br /><br />Monster Girl Safari is not a bad book.

3 | Someday I'll prevent myself from picking up a book from an author I have reservations about. | This was one of two books I picked up from different authors that I've read before.

The tales tend to be isekai (man pulled into another universe) and the... | [] | B09WM9Y6DP | B09WM9Y6DP | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,656,704,028,339 | 8 | true |

4 | The usual Benjamin Medrano hijinx ending one of his weaker tales | The first book in this series was a bit of a problematic read for me.

She was both one of my favorite... | [] | B09XVMV9MS | B09XVMV9MS | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,653,740,706,354 | 0 | true |
5 | Well done although I didn't picture this world as being particularly Irish | I am a huge fan of this series of books and decided to risk purchasing the Audiobook. Normally I'm not a fan of listening to someone else read, but I have to admit that Andrea does a wonderful job with various accents and vocal cues that make every character distinctive. I was a bit surprised by how many of the chara... | [] | B08GQG4MF7 | B08GQG4MF7 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,653,739,204,021 | 1 | true |
3 | I finished it, but wow. | TLDR: Its average for the genre, with a lot of action, but little to no character depth.<br /><br />Ok, the basics are out of the way. However, the key issue for me was the world building. This tale has a world which appears to have a full backstory and which is a major plot element. Into this world a young man is t... | [] | B09WM45S6B | B09WM45S6B | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,649,865,325,865 | 5 | true |
3 | I feel like I've read this before | I think the only new aspect to this tale is the fact that the girls lay eggs which hatch monsters after a session with the tales hero. Beyond that this was very much a typical Isekai tale where a man who doesn't deserve to become a ruler is transported to another world and is an instant hit with women who will fight f... | [] | B08Y5R3R88 | B08Y5R3R88 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,649,083,510,843 | 0 | true |
2 | Bleh. Its a incel fantasy. | If I had one complaint about Isekai/LitRPG tales its the fact that so many of the writers in this genre seem to write horrible main characters. And this tale had to be one of the worst I've run into. The main character as usual ends up in a new world, and in this case he's in a robot body at first.

2 | Plot ruined by overpowered everything. | Azaria as a dungeon had a ton of power.

Now Azaria must exercise even more power, and L... | [] | B091P8PFMK | B091P8PFMK | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,644,324,549,546 | 0 | true |
3 | I had worries, but its still not a bad read. | Not a bad read doesn't mean I hated it, but on the other hand it clearly says I didn't exactly love it either.<br /><br />This is a dungeon core novel that tries very hard to avoid the danger of the core being an emotionless killing machine. Instead Azaria becomes a conflicted tortured soul who is a better killer as a... | [] | B08MYCTWN5 | B08MYCTWN5 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,644,323,984,001 | 0 | true |
3 | It was a snoozer | I don't know what to say here. The grammar used in the writing is good. The story is well edited.

3 | No new elves, and their still stuck in the bloody apartment (and the secret dungeon.) | This tale has been interesting, but the lack of true character development and plot expansion really rankled.

2 | Vampires, No breaks in high intensity stupidity, lack of character building, so much to hate | I liked book 1. It has issues, but was a better tale than I expected considering the rough characters and stilted start.

3 | I find reviewing this series hard. | I do enjoy this tale. I like the main character, and his harem is interesting, even if they lack depth in so many ways.

The hero doesn't increase in power often enough to justify the regular display... | [] | B07YL9S35S | B07YL9S35S | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,639,059,876,550 | 0 | true |

4 | Not much new, but solidly written and plotted | I've read a lot of these tales where there is some cataclysm that wipes out most of humanity and a single male left starts to assemble a harem through any wildly implausible means.<br /><br />This is slightly better than most in the genre. Yes, the two women joining the harem are not fleshed out, but the hero isn't th... | [] | B09GW3L7S6 | B09GW3L7S6 | AE747CPTU3RCQNGPY4OYSSKJHKQQ | 1,639,058,970,271 | 0 | true |
