Description

Hey everyone!

The two different versions have now officially been launched. I'll be rapid-releasing them for quite a while, and likely will be posting multiple times a day with an average of 2k words per post. Some days will be busy, but the idea is to rush back to where I was before and then keep going - but hopefully without the 0.5's slamming me for either not being smutty enough or being too smutty.

The non-smut version here will be more focused on other aspects of the story, with very mild amounts of harem involved but nothing explicit.The smut version will actually have an additional female character introduced at around 85k words, and that will be when the story starts to diverge from one another.

Take your pick! Here are the two versions:

SMUT / Sexual Harem Stuff:https://www.scribblehub.com/series/745661/demons-harems-and-isekai/

NON-SMUT:https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/67877/eleknars-heir

Thanks again, and hope to see you there :)

(Edit - I'll be deleting chapters off this original version for revision over time, just a heads up)

    The story is well written and thought out. It's not for those weak of stomach or who can't handle immoral/morally dubious things. But the story is good at contrasting this and tells a good story. Some things can be annoying sometimes when it comes to stats, but all in all it's good.

    Remember aeon flux? That MTV show where the chick dies over and over again. That's how the start felt like. Except then it gets into world building. This world feels massive. It's dirty, gritty, dark and adult only...
    Much respect to the author for listening to criticism. Gotta respect the involvement they clearly have with their reader base. And their willingness to do giant revisions in pursuit of a better story. Pick it up if you want something on the darker side.

    The author has gone back and rewritten somethings that has helped significantly.  The main character is an interesting blend of evil/good.  He strikes me more as Lawful Neutral than anything else.  The world itself, while built on prexitsting troupes, is interesting.  I like that choice is a key part of the character as well as others.  I also like that the MC behaves in a manner that is believable given his circumstances.  I could envision myself behaving very much as he does.
    As of Vol 2 I am ambivalent about the introduction of additional characters as we have our hands full with the main character and his posse.  I feel an opportunity was missed there.  The new characters are solid but I find myself wishing the sections were shorter for them so we can get back to the MC and see what he is doing.
    In conclusion, the story is well thought out, believable, and entertaining.  There are some new author pitfalls that were not surmounted but they didn't detract from the story too much and mostly were later fixed.  I am awaiting the next installments to see what our "hero" is up to.

    The story is about a man with already mixed morals being forcefully shoved into a new reality, one where there is no extreme authority based on fairness, but instead on power. So to get true freedom, security, and happiness he must acquire power. So all in all an extremely good book so far.
    I loved the story, and I can't wait for more!
    Hopefully it'll get picked up again soon when the author is able.

    I came into this with low expectations, but this has actually captivated me more than I thought possible. The main character is the son of a mafia boss, we were never told if it was the Italian mob but given that the main character seems to only speak English- and the Italian mob demands you be of Italian descent or at least speak the language- I'll assume it to be the Russian mob or maybe it's just a fancy new American mafia.
    Now, the main character Trey knows how to get shit done, however, he's carrying around a lot of emotional baggage with the whole expectations of his father and the looming threat of being the next head of a multi-national crime syndicate. And his first ever love abandoning him after cheating on him, which is a big thing in this.
    Such a big thing that it makes him want to escape into drugs, alcohol and women. I feel like it shouldn't affect him as much as it does but I've had friends tell stories of being cheated on early in their dating life which left them paranoid and adverse to ever dating again.
    So I guess this isn't too much of a stretch, the execution to Trey being transported is foreshadowed by him turning on the news and it tells us 4 million people have disappeared off the face of the earth, just vanished.
    Trey turns off the tv and then kills a cartel member chained to a chair, and his men clean it up while he tries to hide his distaste for his line of work. Trey doesn't want to be in the mafia business, it's just what he was born into.
    Then we get a moment of his cousin and technically rival, asshole-what-ever-his-name-is.
    We get a good shot of the fact Trey isn't actually a pushover and doesn't take blatent disrespect, cousin makes a snide remark and insult towards Trey being cheated on and takes a fucking bullet to the leg and pistol-whipped in the head.
    This is where my assumptions were shattered, I assumed Trey was going to be a broken pushover because of the trauma with his girlfriend but clearly he can dish out an ass-whooping

    The MC is dark but with a few redeeming points. He's ruthless but concerned for it. He (rightfully) worries about his own moral character. This is quite a dark world that is well constructed that pulls no punches. Enjoy it but know that it is brutal. Don't like the cover art.

    I wasn't here for the changes that got made but I'm completely ejoying the story so far!  Good character growth and pacing and action ain't to shabby either! props to the author for writing and releasing so much of it so quickly!  Thats a lot of work well done.  Now to add a bit to make up 50 words.  Watermelon.  Potato.  Haberdashery.

    I didnt read the books description until chapter 6, so the direction it takes after chapter 2 was a pleasant surprise. I am really liking the characters so far and I am interested to see how or if they intertwine. This has really strong potential especially for people who are into fantasy with a little bit of video game themes like health points and life resets. It is somewhat reminicent of alternate universe animes with more of a American/western style fantasy feel. Cant wait to read more!

    Edit: The start is somewhat hard but i can only advice you to keep going if u struggle with the story.(Go at least till chapter 40) It is definitly worth it!
    Old review (chapter 29)
    I like the premise, i like the potential of the system, but i dont like the MC.
    Minor Spoiler I guess:
    The MC is kind of a wimp. Sure it is hard to die, to kill, to have an old god (or something) in the back of your mind, etc... but he feels like a total wimp. Sooo much of him is entire paragraphs lamenting his life, his "bad" luck, him needing to kill, him being disgusted with himself and on and on. And the other second he kills some dudes and eats them. Sure it is character development and some time in the future he will come to terms with it, but has it to be this stretched and detailed. Nobody likes to read that the MC is complaining, makes mistakes and hates himself. At the beginning it was ok, but now as soon as i read some of his inner thoughts i skip nearly half the chapter.
    I hope my point came somehow across.
    Anyway, if nothing else it is a ok story to read. (currently at chapter 29)
    System, the side characters, the world itself is amazing
    Edit: Currently at chapter 58
    The MC made real progress, just like one would like it. Savage and brutal to the enemies, and good to innocents/bystanders (?). I like him now.
    The start is somewhat hard but i can only advice you to keep going if u struggle with the story.(Go at least till chapter 40) It is definitly worth it!
    And the Author is awesome. This is the first time i see author who actually listens to the audience. Please keep going, you are awesome :)

    - Interactive, dedicated author. Takes critique well. Does rewrites. A good writer and a long-hauler.
    - A vast, dark world that stays with you, and a protagonist who, at times, reflects that darkness. (How is a "Chipper Panda" so brutal in his storytelling?)
    - Interesting LitRPG system that leaves you thinking a lot about the choices that you would have made
    - New aspects added to the story over time (crafting, townbuilding, enchanting, etc) give it additional layers of complexity and interest
    - A story that gets better with every chapter and continually builds momentum. (Doesn't peter out)
    - It's long. He says he plans to go far beyond 1500k words which is like 20+ standard length paperbacks
