Publisher's Summary

The complete trilogy!

Siege the castle? Not my style. Save the world? Never going to happen. Create a bestiary business with a group of beautiful yet contrasting women? Now that’s more like it!

One minute I’m in a tree, pointing my camera at a tiger, the next I’m on my back in a medieval fantasy world, while a skittish blonde hovers over me, hoping I’m not dead.

I’ve never felt more alive.

Because although the dutiful smith’s assistant warns me away from the town’s sinful witch, I still have to go. The witch has the only bestiary book in town, and that’s my one hope of a comfortable life—I don’t feel like donning knight's armor.

Turns out, the bestiary is terrible—it's just primitive drawings, annotated by the tall tales of drunken adventurers. I know an opportunity when I see one. It’s a good thing I’ve been transported here with my camera.

If only I knew someone with magic powers, able to transfer film to parchment. Someone like the witch, currently scowling at me. How will she look when I turn her house into a walk-in bestiary?

And how about a scribe to pen beautiful prose beside the photos? The shy smith’s assistant wrote some incredible weaponry advertisements. I can find a few better uses for her.

It’s a shame the girls dislike each other. I’m gonna have to show them they’re more similar than they know. For starters, they’ve both taken a liking to me, and I don’t feel like choosing.

This audiobook involves:

  • A shy smith’s assistant with adorable blonde pigtails who’s going to learn to speak up for herself
  • A snarky witch in a black dress who’s going to learn to keep her mouth shut
  • A vicious goblin who's going to...you’ll just have to wait and see
  • A wild jester, unpredictably enticing
  • And a few more...but those would be spoilers

Definitely fantasy, not even remotely romance.

Wish I'd bought one book at a time, so I could stop at the first one without feeling bad. This book is so blatantly written by a sad man.

Every woman "secretly wants to be dominated," and they all act as if their only purpose in life is to have kids.

The male MC regularly makes remarks later in the series about how the women have made him less selfish and horrible, when in actuality, his character is unbelievably one dimensional throughout the whole thing. Don't even get me started on his constant belittling of the women.

The so-called "romance" consists of the MC meeting a hot girl, the girl is instantly attracted to him because of how "big" and "manly" he is (two traits that are completely absent until he needs to do something "masculine" like threatening people for no good reason,) MC essentially treats the girl like an object, and voila, they're in love.

The bestiary plot that originally drew me in turned out to be more of a sub-sub-plot. Frankly, I hardly remember anything of note happening in the second book regarding the bestiary.

Voice-acting is decent, although sometimes the voices of the women all sound kind of the same. Occasional words are pronounced so wrong you'll have to rewind to figure out what they were, but it's rare enough that it's more entertaining than anything.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
