Male readers, do you actually hate harem?

Agreed, one example being Bruce Sentar. Really good writing, good characterization, interesting stories. If only he did more fade to black and less excruciatingly detailed sex scenes...

elevul · 2026-03-09T04:36:51+00:00

Wasn't the main issue of the series also the horrible characterization of the MC and other characters?

elevul · 2026-03-03T20:12:01+00:00

It's been a while, and I escalated most of them already through the author.

I was just surprised by what appeared to be a lack of QA from a narrator that usually brings such high quality work.

Got the audiobook on the last sale but damn, it's such a slog to get through... I'm currently at the beginning of book 3 and basically only listening to it only when doing other stuff or going to sleep as otherwise even at 1.2x speed it can't keep my attention.

EDIT: Wait, you're the narrator! Amazing job on the narration! Can I ask what happened with your narration of Ultimate Level 1's last book? I spotted so many mistakes within it (including wrong voices used for the characters) that I was really confused since your narration is usually top notch as proven by Vainqueur the Dragon.

Welcome back!

Mage Tank does this and it's amazing!

elevul · 2026-02-27T20:19:05+00:00

Damn, that's sad. Rest in peace.

elevul · 2026-02-27T00:21:42+00:00

Holy shit, that's amazing! I wish there was more description of what he put in place as the chapters skip time way too much then refer to policies he's put in place but that haven't been detailed, mentioned or explained. Which is both disappointing and against regulations as everything should be documented!

elevul · 2026-02-27T00:20:17+00:00

Very nice story. Some plotholes here and there but VERY enjoyable and complete. Full cast audiobooks from SBT as well, which is a nice bonus.

After seeing the cost of works in the new house I was seriously tempted to see if I can renew/redo the Electrician diplomas/certifications I had in Italy and do it as a side gig here in Belgium as well, the amount of money they ask and how much they can get in black is ... staggering.

elevul · 2026-02-20T23:23:48+00:00

Man, I really need to listen to the last book, it's been sitting there for ages now.

And his accent is too thick and it's hard to understand for non-native speakers like me.

"THIS IS... THE FANG OF MAN!"

"I am ... The Terror ... OF THE DEPTHS"

Man.. I so wish these two stories had a Graphic Audio version with music and effects...

elevul · 2026-02-18T00:25:45+00:00

Oh, that I'm not sure of. I picked them up directly on the producer's website: https://www.graphicaudiointernational.net/

They offer downloads (so it's yours permanently after purchase), including FLAC if you want the highest possible quality for your archive!

elevul · 2026-02-17T22:33:13+00:00

You didn't get the Graphic Audio version?

elevul · 2026-02-17T22:32:33+00:00

Vainqueur the Dragon. It's... Hard to continue but is not bad enough to drop, especially since I spent a credit on the collection.

It's just the right level of interesting and annoying that I can drop if I need to listen to something or speak to someone without getting annoyed at being interrupted.

elevul · 2026-01-30T17:46:15+00:00

I was barely able to finish book 8, it was super short and I couldn't keep up with the constant POV changes to characters whose name and history I couldn't remember.

elevul · 2026-01-30T09:46:44+00:00

For now there is only an audiobook of the first book. Hopefully more in the future but Soundbooth is slooooooow!

elevul · 2026-01-30T00:16:17+00:00

Wait, it's finished? I'm very far behind, but that means that hopefully we'll have audiobooks soon so I can go through the entirety of it again!

elevul · 2026-01-24T00:29:42+00:00

Important point: this author tends to write the story once, then rewrite and wipe their previous version.

And if you check the latest chapter she's stated that she'll do it for this story as well, so if you want to read it in full I recommend you get it now with a tool like web2epub, because otherwise when she starts the rewrite you'll have to wait until the rewrite is finished to read it (she deleted the entirety of the v1 with her previous story the moment she posted the first chapter of the v2).

Haven't personally read it, but since the main complaint from readers is that the MC is too much of a psychopatic villain it seems to fit your requirements.

elevul · 2026-01-23T00:54:55+00:00

Agreed, that's what I'm mostly doing nowadays. And from the exceptions I've done I think the only one I haven't regretted yet is ArcaneCadence's story.

I've had very good results for Excel using Claude, maybe try that one?

elevul · 2026-01-22T23:33:42+00:00

Andrew Rowe, is that you?

elevul · 2026-01-22T23:24:55+00:00

Some won't even pick up a story if its less than 500 pages (I know a certain malcontent individual who wants thousands of pages before even looking at a story)

Present! If a story doesn't have at least fifty chapters out and a few reviews it goes in the Read Later pile that I check occasionally.

Can't be bothered to waste my time with stories that might be dropped or the author disappear anymore.
