Summary

Full pirate mode. Dungeons to explore. A quest to gather the eight skulls!

Drew has finally got it all together. First, there is his pocket dimension, a quickly growing area based around his good buddy, Tree. Then there are his students, six random kids he...liberated. Finally, there is the dragon stalking him. 

Cultivating, sailing, staying ahead of trouble. That’s his plan as he moves into the creation of his solid Core. Seducing a dragon was a total accident. Nuking an Island? Let’s not focus on the details. They started it. 

What’s the best thing to do while getting his magical career and development back on track? Play pirate, of course!

All the regret

I can’t explain how happy I was to have finished this book. For all the erm… things I enjoyed about book 1… I hated book 2 for almost all the same reasons. The narrator’s pompous voice got old and patronising. Too silly but also judgemental. I was uncomfortable with how misogynistic, sizeist, homophobic and ableist the narrator is. Let’s not even get into the ideas about relationships that were discussed. It became unpleasant to read all round. Do I want to know what’s going on with the planet? Kind of. But not enough to sit through another 18 hours of that drivel three times over! I did enjoy the world building and magic system. I enjoyed the cultivation discussions and the way it was all put together. I’ve not read a book that has a system like that before and it gets kudos for that. It’s just a shame about all the flaws. And, I think that using stereotypes about women, and fat people, and ableist words to describe things limits your imagination. It limits the growth and potential of characters. It limits your ways of expression. For all the potential the magic showed the limitation of ideas on a basic level was too strong to make it worth reading more. I regret reading book two.

A splendid book!

I have been a long fan of cultivation novels and have found it this book is an excellent exploration into that genre. The blending of science and energy cultivation in this book has really expanded the way I look at previous cultivation novels I have read. The emphasis on some of the silly and stupid conceptual ideas that have been brought up another cultivation novels is quite good. I greatly look forward to the following novels in this series and hope that the author continues this in other words settings.

Not porn

Ok so there is a review claiming that this book turns into porn. Complete and total idiocy; two sex scenes only one in that starts off in depth then cuts away after the foreplay. That being said great book, great story definitely not for minors.

Has all the fun stuff:
Violence
Cussing
Laughing maniacally as morons get utterly destroyed by a cute white rabbit..... with a stupid horn.

If you liked the first one get this book it's great listen.

Well.. the first book was bloody brilliant.

I could not tell enough people about the first book in this series. It was truly delightful. The MC is a Loki-esque character with a devil may care attitude. Not mean or selfish, just mentally aloof and hilarious.
But this book was... choppy. I had a hard time figuring out what was happening from scene to scene and why. Louws tries to fill out all the main characters more but instead leaves us with less. This book should have been twice as long or he should have sidelined half the characters for book 3.
Do not get me wrong, this is still an entertaining book, but it could have used some more development before publishing.
Still a big Louws fan. They can't all be home runs. I will be getting book 3.

I want to give this 5 stars, but...

Narration is great. No worries there.

This book is really good. I like that he is so O.P. It's a cool perspective that is hard to pull off. So I said the thing about wanting to give it 5 stars but can't... I think sex scenes that are that graphic are tasteless. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude. It's a quality thing. In detail sex scenes are just weird. It's like walking in on someone you have a lot of respect for engaged in self pleasure, but they have pictures of Shrek taped to their knees and you aren't allowed to leave the room once you walk in. Then they make eye contact that you also aren't allowed to break. It's awkward. That's what I'm trying to say here. We just don't need to know exactly how he is finger banging a dragon. Like the exact motor control down to the way he places his digits. See? Even now you're like "Eww, c'mon man." And I'm like "What?! It's even worse in the book. Why do you think I'm even writing this review? Just making a point.. Don't get so testy. Jeez." Anyway, besides that one part in the book this sequel is great. I will now obsessively watch for preorder every week and try not to harass the author over social media over a release date. Enjoy.

Be warned the series is on a unknown hiatus

I really enjoyed this series but just be aware boo 5 is a major cliff hanger and no word on book 6 has been said in 2 years.

Not just no audiobook but no book at all nor is the author still updating their story on royal road as of 2 years ago.

All in all I enjoyed the series but I am rather annoyed now as I binged this entire series only to get a stupid cliff hanger and no real sign the series will ever be finished.

Porn not required

Would have enjoyed this book even more if it didn’t have the sexual parts. Loved the story personally but could have done without the porn scene. Also the cussing feels so forced at times.
