  Rav starts the story by pulling the carpet from under your feet. You come into the story expecting happy-go-lucky sex and a slavish harem, and the author throws you into a death-world. One where the sexy monstergirls are also the things that will fuck you before killing and eating you.
  Expect the protagonist to be the weakest member of the team at all times. This is SnuSnu land, and every member of the team has their own goals and preferences, none really aligning.
  Characters:
  Rick: A normal human from this world that got thrown into the crazy monstergirl death-world. His progress as he spirals down further and further is clear and logical, cold even. You can feel how, bit by bit, he's turning into something else entirely.
  The Harem: Each monstergirl is several orders of magnitude stronger than Rick and some are even taller too (best girl Monica). You should come into the story expecting a complex background and a set of shifting priorities.
  Not Monica though, she's a killing machine that doesn't give a fuck. She gets all the cuddles she wants when she wants them (and pouts when she doesn't, she's adorable. 10/10 this is a Monica story).
  FYI: I read the , and I voted on the things we did back then, fun times. This version's better.

  I read this story before on another website, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it cleaned up and made whole. I remember thinking the characters were very compelling and enjoying their growth through the story. The setting is something I feel conflicted about, but the story makes it work by having the characters react naturally to it instead of ignoring it like many other stories in the same setting do. I hope that besides just cleaning up the story, the writer will sneak in a new scene here and there, or maybe a longer epilogue!

  The worst part about this story was the 2nd persond view, which I eventually got over.
  **SPOILERS**  The harem hook is fairly fresh because while it looks like NTR at first it's literally an isekai MC training monstergirls into civilized beings.  It's been done before but this is a particularly good and thought out method.
  Assuming the author keeps this up I'm giving it 5/5 it could be some really original and awesome stuff.

  Ok, I'll start by saying that I read most of this story off the author's Patrion page.  He cuts down the lewdness on RR and includes the uncensored version on his Patrion.  I completely understand this because RR can just chop your story without recourse and it's a great way to add Patrons.  All this to say that our reading experience may be slightly different.
  Overall
  Overall, this is a fascinating take on the traditional Isekai harem fantasy.  The author has mastered the art of making sex so integral to the story that the sex scenes are relevant rather than a distraction.  Without the sex, it's still a really great story.  I don't want to give away the overarching trope because the story was better for me not knowing the general premise before beginning to read, but I will say that it shouldn't have worked but so totally did. I literally stayed up until the next morning reading this.  I haven't done that since I accidently discovered The Last Kingdom six years ago.  This is a fascinating, sexy, but surprisingly dark and visceral story.
  Style and Grammar
  Ok here is where the negatives start.  The story is in second person which I thought that I would hate.  Turns out, it's not that big of a deal after 100 or so pages.  I'll even go so far as to beg the author to have an audiobook made since the narrative POV lends itself to having a female narrator and, as a heterosexual male, I don't particularly enjoy having sex scenes read to me by a masculine voice. Please, please, please make this happen!
  The serious problem is that the narration fluctuates wildly between present and past tense.  That, more than anything else was constantly trying to ruin my emersion throughout the entire book (regardless of what chapter it says on the review, I’ve read everything completed to this point).  There are also typical grammatical errors that are found in most writing on RR due to none of us having editors. The prologue and first chapter have particularly bad grammar and nearly caus

  The story follows a group of people, students, teachers and parents that were somehow isekai'd into a pokemon like reality. According to the author, the story is based on the moves of players in a game.
  Style: The story is written in the second person, with lots of action scenes right from the beginning. The writer from one scene to next as our survivers find themselves constantly staring death in the face at almost every turn. Heavy use of sexual scenes and strong harm undertones throughout the entire story.
  Story: The story focuses on Rick; a hound teacher who becomes the reluctant MC and defacto leader of a small group of survivors. Throughout the story, there is constant action, suspense and fear for the survivors, who have to come to terms with being in another world where monsters can be collected in special spheres.
  Grammer: Well written and concise. No obvious grammatical errors. Careful application of the second-person in order make the reader more involved in the story and to evoke feelings and emotions in the reader.
  Characters: Rick is a slightly confused MC with little understanding of how to survive in the wild. I think he capitulates just too easy to Monica. Although I think the story has great promise, I've yet to find a strong character that stands out for me in the story.
  Personally I'm not a fan of harem stories, I feel that most authors use the genre as a crutch in order not to focus on their world and character building. But surprisingly, this one is well written, both in characters and world building. But I fear the story might not be able to escape being labeled as a pokemon rip-off.

  Story
  The story overall was pretty interesting to read. It's been a while since I've read one of these and I have to say that it was... dark to say the least. However, it wasn't as dark as I imagined it to be but that's just me since I have a higher threshold. The plot is a bit of a slow burn but it's perfect for this type of story in which the character and his friends are stranded in another world. With chapter 16 onward, the world builds itself, creating a sort of pseudo-totalitarian government, at least from the point of view of the monster girls. The author states the relationship between Monster Girls and humanity isn't the best. The story flows rather nicely and I was able to seamlessly read from one plot point to the next without running into any needless exposition within the story. Any other exposition that was presented as necessary for the development of the plot and was nice to absorb.  In addition, the protagonist has clear goals that he wants to achieve and actively works to move the plot forward.
  Grammar and Spelling
  The grammar was pretty great. It's very rare to find near-perfect grammar in any story. There were only a few errors here and there but they're minor mistakes and don't hamper the storytelling in any way.
  Characters
  This is a bit tricky since I took the role of the protagonist. I found myself disconnected from him at times but overall liked his progression. He is forced into a situation that he didn't ask for and acted accordingly, which is as realistic as it can get for someone in that situation, other than panicking. However, there are times such as the scene at the Medical Center where he gets seduced by a nurse and goes along with it. It, to me at least, is rather odd for someone whose first question was "Where are the others?" He has a clear goal that resonates with his situation: Survive. Of course, this changes upon reaching the village with his current goal being to get Monica back. There are lots of goods and bads with Rick but

  Warning: Harem seeking male protagonist. Like it or skip.
  This fiction borrows tits and bits from different fictional universes to create its own. It would be correct to say it borrows bits from Pokémon/Fullmetal Alchemist and tits from Anonymoose Saga. It is a big crossover with most of the copyrighted content altered or replaced, except for some illustrations left in the first chapters.
  The original parts cleverly build a world that is not filled with idiots. It also gives a compelling reason for the MC to seek a harem. It constrasts with many harem seeking protagonist stories and makes this story as enjoyable as the genre it belongs to allows.
  Reviewing the lemons (sexual content)--they are okay. I think more and more detailed would be better. There is definitivelly a choice to not focus on it but I can hardly understand the author because sexual relations are a key element in the lore. Simply put, this should be pr0n with a story but it isn't.
  Because this story enters the Royal Road Writathon challenge I'll add a few more things. Quote: "For the duration of the contest, the story can’t include sexual content." I'm not sure what's RR policy on the definition of 'sexual content' but I think there is going to be an issue there. And even you restrict lemons, as stated before, I still don't think that's a good idea.

  The story: Credible. But it's really the wet dreams of all young boys. Monstergirls with inhuman prowess in sexual skills, which by the way NEED you to fuck them otherwise they go insane. Plus the society kinda makes them want to serve you (most of the time). That credible. I mean, beside that part of the setting, the way the world was built makes sense. Following that premise of superhuman strong powerful monsters, a way to tame them, enslave them and all that was natural. That, or humanity perishes. The second wasn't an interesting setting...
  Anyway. The story is not so bad, I actually am enjoying it so far. It's not badly written sex scenes, full stop. Don't get me wrong. There are some of those. Well, not really BADLY written. But not goodly written either. Just... written, i guess. Some were hotter than others. There's also a plot, and the characters are going for something apparently.
  The world building seems a little off. The author doesn't seem to know what day is the fictional festivity he literally invented. One time is in june or something, the other is Valentine's Day... And the MC hears about this festivity at least two times and STILL needs to ask what it was the third, because yeah... of course he forgets that there's a day his monstergirls can leave him if he's not a good master! Makes sense...
  And now, talking about the characters...
  The main character heard this world enslaves monstergirls (which mind you, are SENTIENT, sometimes even more intelligent than humans), and simply goes all "well, I guess everyone is doing it... Might as well dig in!" and start fucking around. Spoilers. Not really. And goes enslaving them and doing things like brainwashing them. It's just a button away! Pretty convenient! Might as well do it. He's not an asshole though, really. It's all because he wants to survive and this is really the best way to do it. No sarcasm here, I'm serious. I probably would do the same given the information I was given. Plus and minus some cho

  This book is a twist to the battlemonster trope. Usually used on media focused on kids and young teens this story spins the narrative and stuffs in it every bit of realism it can. This created something way more dark than i thought it would ever be.
  Expect brutal fights, the ugly side of human relationships hearing it's head here and there and sexy monster girls. A pitty books like this being censored here.

  ★★ 2.0

  This could have been a great story, the start seemed alright exept for the useless and long introduction of a character in chapter 1. (not gonna say more it would spoil)
  Unfortunately while the foolishness of one character is punished, and it's ok, the stupidity of another one isn't (on two occasion, bat and cat, if you see what i mean). Which make it look like rules are harsh, but not for the MC.
  And i can't believe in a world like that. (no hint of him having special ability) There was no explanation for that, don't introduce rules then throw them away one chapter after.
  Grammar of the story is good, well for me it is, so it might not say much.
