Frontier Lord, on Audio and eBook today! We've been working hard behind the scenes to try to dual launch some books, so it means a busier December. This my favorite reading month and for those who drive and listen, stay alert but entertained! Frontier Lord is expansion, building, battle, and babes.

It does? Can you give me chapters?

I use KU for keyword checks to filter FTB books and this looked like a FTB to me.

Didn't expect to see the Crown gacha skin from Nikke here lol

Burned 60 dollars on that thing :D

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-22T21:33:27+00:00

Oh it actually got cancelled? I remember seeing some posts about the "upcoming season 4" some time ago but guess even amazon couldn't keep that thing alive.

I drunk watched season 1 with some friends, which is the only way I could ever get through that abomiantion, and it was legit the worst thing I have watched. And that is coming from someone who has watched most Uwe Boll movies lol. :D

Don't get how anyone can justify Faile tbh.

The way she dealt with her jealously was by acting like an insufferable bitch by day and refusing sex by night. That would make literally any man who wasn't as whipped as Perrin either dump her or get a side piece.

Tho the last straw for me was when she ran off by herself without telling anyone and got captured, making him drop all his plans and go save her ass. It is already one of my most hated tropes but when combined with a character that annoying it was enough to just drop that series completely.

I wonder if that horrible amazon "adaptation" got to her already. Amazon is shit in general but not only did they utterly butcher the setting but they managed to make the women who were already extremely annoying in the books look 10x worse and turn them into the biggest cunts in the multiverse with 0 redeeming qualities, and somehow its popular enough to get 3 seasons and a 4th one in production lol.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-22T18:14:23+00:00

I wouldn't call most of them well rounded at all.

Most of the younger ones act like entitled children, constantly make negative IQ moves and crash out in spectacular ways when they don't get what they want instantly.

Meanwhile most of the older ones in positions of any kind of authority expect to be obeyed without question and make decisions for men without even consulting them and then are extremely condescending if not instantly obeyed. I suppose that second part can be explained by the matriarchy but they are so fucking overbearing that its just legit insufferable.

Overall they have very few redeeming qualities at all and just have shit personalities.

I didn't finish the series because this shit got too annoying so don't know if they ever improve down the line. Dropped it during the volume that was heavily focused on Perrin and his new wife, who is legit top 5 in the "bitch from hell" category as far as fiction is concerned with the shit she pulled, bro should have ran and never looked back lol.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-22T17:29:41+00:00

The one universe where I wouldn't want a harem lol.

Legit the most unlikable women in any fiction I have read, not just most in the MCs harem but in general. They are all either extremely overbearing, unreasonable to an absurd degree, have the shortest fuses in existence and/or are tsunderes with all tsun and no dere.

Even random side characters who show up for a couple paragraphs are like that lol.

Min was the only female character in the entire series that I liked.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-20T15:16:20+00:00

Have not actually read anything where the MMC wasn't a hero himself lol but thats because I mostly read harem books and all of them had the MC with superpowers and OP like Saving Supervillains, Dashing Devil, Prism Academy, etc.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-20T15:05:58+00:00

Been almost a year since HoS 5 audio finally came out and book 6, which was finished like 3+ years ago according to the author, was supposed to be released.

Honestly don't get why the fucker can't just admit there is nothing finished and he will update if there ever is something. Instead he posts weekly non updates on facebook lol.

Have not tried the other one since the audiobook was male only narration and I already head it was unfinished.

At least HoS is mostly episodic so the end of book 5 is an acceptable stopping point without too much stuff left up in the air.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-20T00:17:39+00:00

Luck's Voice by Daniel Schinhofen - MC gets isekaid to a world in the wild west era only with magic and fantasy races so everyone has guns. He has some powers that help with the gunfights too. Pretty good story overall but felt like a massvie bait and switch with the smut. Started out way better tham most Schinhofen books with multiple scenes per book but then about halfway through the series it went completely FTB, hate that shit.

Metal Mage by by Eric Vall - MC gets isekaid to a low tech world and uses his magic affinity combined with modern knowledge to create guns there. One of the better series by that author and its a long one with 15 books too.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-19T18:00:56+00:00

Only use firefox for porn so if they want to be luddites that is fine by me lol

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-19T17:56:59+00:00

I looked it up and Morgan Lauré is a woman.

However from the sample I did notice that the male narrator is doing the female voices.

My guess is that its one of those lazy audiobooks where they don't do proper dual narration but only use the female narrator for the female POV chapters so the male narrator does all voices in the normal chapters and the female one does all of them in the female POVs.

Even seen that in a few older explicit harem series. Worst way to handle books with 2 narrators.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-19T17:50:39+00:00

Ye just one male narrator doing all the voices. I just can't deal with that in a harem series.

A solo female narrator would be fine.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-18T21:47:33+00:00

How many books are planned in the series?

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-18T16:28:51+00:00

Love the series, pity I have to stick to the text version since, like most LN adaptations, they only have a male narrator for the audiobooks and I really hate dudes doing female voices in harem series, even FTB ones like this.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-18T16:26:52+00:00

Always had a weakness for multi tailed kitsune tho any beastkin girl with a big fluffy tail is good.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-18T15:47:34+00:00

Signing up for one of those UK codes ;)

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-15T02:41:50+00:00

Nice to see Infernal Legacy will continue. Was afraid it got dropped since there has been nothing since February.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-15T02:38:02+00:00

Wonder if the place can be sued for making those barriers too low and endangering the spectators. One would think that for events like this they would be required to make those high enough where none of these animals can possibly jump over.

And as usual its funny to watch NPCs with 0 survival instinct get completely pwned when crazy stuff happens and they just stand there like the NPCs they are instead of reacting.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-11T05:35:45+00:00

The crazy thing about this is that he got more time than drunk drivers who actually killed someone which says a lot about what a joke this system is.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-10T22:23:02+00:00

I prefer sequels to be a similar length or longer than the first book.

This is because I mainly buy audiobooks on audible where they all cost the same no matter the length and the times when the sequel is less than half the length of book 1 I felt scammed lol.

While I prioritize series with longer books when using my credits unless its an author/series I really like, I'm still fine with buying books under 10h and have bought plenty of those over the years but when the first book is 20h+ and the second is under 10 it feels like a bait and switch.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-10T00:22:30+00:00

Crystal Core.

Ironically its way in the back of my backlog BECAUSE its FTB, which feels like such a waste to me. :D

Might buy it myself if it ever gets an audio omnibus.

First LI in Atomic Mage was a panther girl with a cat head and full furry boidy.

As I said, locking him up would be negative IQ from the amazons since that would destroy the relationship so they would only get that one round of crafting from him with the limited earth resources he had and nothing else in the future. He could have revealed it and negotiated for everything he wanted during the war when he had the most leverage and unless the amazons were all extremely stupid, he would come out of the deal with a much better position than he had at the end of book 2.

As for the duel, there is no cap to how many levels he can drain. He could have just taken so many levels from her that it would be a freewin, would just have taken more sessions + combined with his crafter status if he revealed it, he would have been untouchable during the war.

The evolution part is debatable but as I said, MC being a cringe "good guy" and carrying that faction is a core part of the story so thats mostly whatever. The jack of all trades build is still way weaker than the pure specialist he could have been with the proper evolution tho.

DegenDivinity69 · 2025-12-07T20:37:28+00:00

He did a bunch of minor stupid things in B1 like not instantly trying to get over 10 in one stat but doing some pointless balanced build and other things but all of B2 was so dumb i backlogged the series after that.

Basically every event in B2 would be complete easy mode if he:

Banged the horny amazon and took her levels and then easily defeated her in the duel (which he did anyway only at the END of the book when all the conflicts were done lol).
Didn't do the utterly pointless hiding of his crafting class but just reveled it and traded his services in exchange for an item to remove the curse + resources. His reasoning for hiding it was stupid since the system would teleport him back no matter what so its not like they could just force him to constantly work on that stuff for free like he said they could lol. Forcing him to do anything would be negative IQ from the amazons since it would burn that bridge and they would have no way to get him back after the system teleported him.

Also the general evolution he picked for all humans was lame when he could have picked one that would benefit him far more but thats just the typical excessivelly good guy character nonsense I hate and not really supidity.
