A message from the stars offers humanity an escape from our harsh origins deep within a region known as "Cruel Space" by the rest of the galaxy. Earth's nations unite to construct the Dauntless—Earth's first interstellar craft. Its mission: to journey to the world of Centris and establish formal contact with the enigmatic Galactic Council. Unsure of what to expect from the wider galaxy, each crewman was trained to be a peerless warrior, armed to the teeth and ready to fight for all humanity.However, what they encounter was far from their expectations. Instead of monstrous beings, they find a galaxy dominated by... Women. Humanity's nearly equal ratio of male to female births is an anomaly. In a society where females far outnumber males, opportunities abound, from unimaginable wealth, to incredible danger, on worlds where immortality is a lifestyle choice and love is available on a scale beyond human comprehension.On this grand cosmic stage steps Jerry Bridger with a secret mission of his own—to transport a vital piece of Earth's legacy to the stars for the future of humanity. As he navigates through amorous pirates and perilous naval engagements, Jerry will fight like hell while forming bonds in the most unexpected of places, all to forge a future in the stars.Of Dog, Volpir and Man; a story of spacefaring adventure, high technology and higher hemlines!

- Colin GravesRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So, I have read this story for a while on Reddit. The story overall is good. it is flat-out a fun space romp/opera. I will say the author starts with what I would call a slightly slow burn, but it is, without a doubt worth it. It really lets you sit in with the characters and get to know them.
The waifus--- they grab me. every kink, fetish, and like is here. However, it is in no way too horny. This is a story first, a lewd book second.
Lore gripe is just an opinion. I am not a fan of the 90% female to 10% male ratio. However, the story makes up for it by following the exceptional examples of each. Every character is well-defined and will keep your attention.
I cannot say again how much I love this tale. Look no further if you want to sit down for a fun romp. PS: warrior princess waifu is best, I will die on that hill. - dreamydragon1Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm 6 chapters deep and plan to go many chapters deeper. While it's a military scifi harem story at it's core it manages to put together these elements in a far less contrived manner than most I've read. It's definitely smoothed some of the rough edges of the genre without deviating from the core tropes that make it enjoyable. This makes it an easy and enjoyable read. I will update this once I get deeper in the future.
- Gamer_James27Royal Road★★ 2.0i gave this story a fair shot and read up to chapter 4 before dropping it. the issue was not really the premise by itself, because there is clearly a setting here and the author has ideas. the problem was the way it was written and how the story kept moving from one thing to another without enough logic holding it together. it reads like a human wrote the base draft, then ai or ai-style editing got layered over it after, because the voice feels flattened. things are overexplained in a strange way, the flow keeps getting broken up, and spots that need commas for rhythm keep getting hit with periods instead. that makes the prose feel choppy and stiff when it should be smooth.
the other thing that made me put it down was the lack of consistency in how people react. they were just attacked by pirates, and instead of the story really sitting with that and following through on the danger, it suddenly feels like we are pivoting into getting trained by some spider thing and rolling with it way too easily. that jump completely killed my suspension of disbelief. it did not feel like a logical continuation of what had just happened. it felt like the story wanted to move to the next idea before earning it.
and honestly, humans would not react that casually in a situation like this. we are paranoid war apes. if humanity got thrown into something this dangerous and unknown, our first instinct would not be to race out and just vibe with the galaxy. we would build an armada, lock things down, and prepare for the worst. by chapter 4, i was more distracted by the writing and the logic gaps than interested in the story.
