Succubus Lord (Succubus Lord #1)

Jacob is taken for a wild ride when his friend buys a book that has a spell to summon succubi. We get into the story and set pieces fairly quickly and the characters are thrust from conflict to conflict. The book actually went further than I thought it would, but it does come at a cost to push through some story beats faster. There isn\’t a ton of establishing time for Jacob and the succubi to garner the love and complete trust that they have very quickly, but this is something common enough in the genre. That being said this change allows more conflicts to be encountered and conquered by the ragtag band of misfits. There are a ton of fun set pieces from a battle in a hotel, a Mad Max-esque car battle and a horde of demons charging the heroes. The narration was great throughout, and the great time they seemingly had comes through (especially with a cut that was left in and you hear them crack up at the insane conversation the main character and his friend has). All of the main characters have enjoyable and distinct personalities and mesh together very well. Overall if you like the genre this was a fun little listen that sets up what can be an entertaining series.

The story kept me entertained and there’s a break in the reading where they laugh at what’s going on in the story that somehow made it through that I loved. I hope they keep it in the audible.

I was expecting a novel with a solid story, that happened to involve succubi. This novel was about succubi, sex, and little else. The characters aren\’t really developed; the plot is extremely simple; the fictional aspects of the world are hand-wavy. I wouldn\’t say it\’s terrible, but it definitely isn\’t up to par with other modern fiction or harem-including novels. Minor spoilers ahead: The plot can be summarized as, \”Protagonist wins by having sex and gambling\”. Parts of it sound like an extremely optimistic travelogue for a trip to a gambling resort. It has some entertaining moments, but is generally uninspired.

With how all over the place this is, I feel like this book is uniquely qualified to be up there in the big leagues of pointlessly dull. Each of the elements in play here seem to invert the actual draw they would have. If it\’s supposed to be erotica the scenes in question are not just short, poorly described, and lacking in any depth. If it\’s fan service you\’re after, you have paper thin characters, which you could argue may be the overall point. However the servicing is overly mixed with the plot in question so haphazardly that it ruins any real pacing. If it\’s a fantasy you\’re after, while there after tidbits of lore here and there you\’re given only the bare bones in lieu of the super fun fun fun fun fun fun plot. If it\’s plot you\’re after, leave now and learn from my humble mistakes. There\’s some one else that can do a legitimate critique here, but I\’m not it. The characters, each is underdeveloped and what\’s worse, they\’re completely bound by whatever the plot would demand. Again I could add depth here, but seriously if you managed to read this review just avoid this book entirely it\’s honestly just a huge waste of time.

It might get better past the first hour, but it was just cringey to listen to. it started out descent with a down on his luck guy, but 15 minutes in turned into \’perfect 6 pack abs and a dick the size even a sex demon marveled at\’. if you start your main character being this physically perfect being, it gets boring really quickly, especially when all comments about the person are flattery. As I said, might get better later as a story develops, but I couldnt make it that far. I like my smut with a bit of subtlety, not shoved down my throat.
