best for everyone". He's more inclined to pursue optimal equilibrium
than Nash equilibrium even if it works worse for him, and he'll
stubbornly refuse a solution if it leaves someone behind (like the gnoll
or the beholders).
Corruption: injects corrupted mana into a target, granting special skills.
Violet Ylenward is an old warlock, born for the purpose of serving the Shadow Lord. She was granted the rank of Sovereign, allowing her to rule a dungeon town and summon artificial soldiers known as Pawns and Rooks.
Her current duty is to hide a tunnel under construction, and was sent with her faithful rook, Lorely, in addition to two recent rooks, Milia and Shaki.
She is a timid airhead, passionate about strange magic. She often neglects her basic needs for the sake of research.
Because of her reclusive nature and unreliability as a sovereign, Violet has a hard time facing Milia.
Milia is Violet's new minotaur rook.
Relationship
She doesn't have a loyal relationship with her sovereign. She hates rules, always pushing her master to the limits. This only strains her relationship with Lorely.
Thankfully, her disobedience is kept in check by her lover, Shaki.
Personality traits
At a surface level, Milia is impulsive. Deeper, she's perceptive of her surrounding and likes to interact with it. She makes quick logical judgements and acts on them.
But her thinking process doesn't account probabilities and what-if scenarios, so she appears retarded sometimes. Her lightning speed reaction/decision-making (however flawed it can be) is what makes her a strong fighter.
Restricting herself is more psychology taxing for her than acting upon the external world towards a goal (it feels like anxiety).
She can be socially charming, but she doesn't like wasting energy on courtesy when she thinks someone is wrong.
She rates her self worth with elements grounded in reality, such as her body, her beauty, being the strongest, having the top score, etc...
She appears superficial and narcissistic because 1. she puts so much efforts on external things 2. She rates other people with same metrics, but they often don't value the same things as her.
Yet despite all that, she grows to admire Shaki and Slade for their passionately strong will.
Tastes
She likes food, scary movies, weapons, muscles and sex.
She hates staying indoor, boredom, rules.
They are Attack, Defense, Spellpower and Attunement.
The H.E.R.O. system estimates the battle power with those four primary skills. It also strengthen the skills of heroes (rooks and contracted natives) upon leveling up.
The commanding hero's skills apply to pawns if they are led with a warbanner.
Attack and Defense influence the damage dealt.
Spellpower determines the intensity of a spell.
Attunement indicates the size of the mana pool, its regeneration, and magic defense.
Secondary skills
Those skills are passive and have a wide impact.
A hero/rook can only have 8 secondary skills equipped at a time. They can only be changed at a town Core.
They can provide advantages out of combat, e.g. scouting, pathfinding, logistics, estate, diplomacy.
They can have a direct impact on battles, e.g. weaponsmith, armorer, balistics.
They can influence the hero's mastery over magic, e.g. elemental magic expertise, mysticism, scholar, eagle eye.
Faction skills
Faction skills are mainly used in battle. They are defining features of the factions.
They are generally useable once per encounter.
Personal skills
Those skills are learned from repetitive actions.
Unlike secondary skills that are passive and faction skills that are exclusively for battle, personal skills can be active and useable out of battle.
They usually have small impacts. For instance, it can be language, giving someone a massage, cleaning difficult stains...
Weapon arts
The weapons of Hekalys are special. They are infused with spirit - the crystallization of a concept, a will or a philosophy. This extends to any equipments (armors too).
- a weapon passed down from generation to generation in a family of warrior, honing a single skill
- artifacts, sealed with ancient warriors.
- blades that soaked in the blood of countless enemies
of time with the Gnoll King's Buckler, she may learn Tribe Guardian and
protect her adjacent allies with any buckler.
- Swords may be used as main weapon instead of polearms in warfare.
- Whips are actually threatening.
- One can't be too cautious of a grandma dual-wielding a worn slipper and a dented laddle as main weapons

Isekai Harem of Smut and Magic clearly doesn't follow the lore of its inspiration (Might and Magic). Therefore, there's no Enroth or Kreegan or spacenuke.
Instead, the story takes place in the world of Hekalys (furtively mentioned in chapter 1).
That world suffered a war long of 658 years. Now, what's the reason for the war?
The Battle of Cosmic Shards pits 12 factions against each others. Except Castle of Light, every faction is ruled by a human possessing a Cosmic shard.
Each shard grants an irresistible amount of power to its owner. The faction ruler can lend the powers of Sovereign to his vassals, allowing them to summon artificial creatures from other dimensions.
That way, a minority of humans can monopolize an immense power to achieve their goal. The ambitious rulers naturally fought over territory and people.
During the war, the powerless majority found the power to oppose the oppression of the cosmic shards. The Castle of Light faction is a faith that allows its believers to awaken the power of Hero, to chase away the otherwordly invaders flooding in Hekalys from the summoning rituals.

For me this read somewhat like a crossover between old-school erotica with sketches, and a script for a comic. The sketch idea is cute, it's small sketches/drawings to visualize the story. I haven't seen much of that style outside fanzines from the 90's. At some point the drawings went from depicting what the reader "sees" to illustrating who says what in a chat-style manner. It's nice to see the Author's take on this... so: one point for doing something not everyone does, and subtract one for inconsistency.
What I really liked about the story, was the light playful tone, the feeling of characters goofing off and exploring their world. Shure it's smut, but that's not all of the story. Progressivly through the chapters that part fades out tho: it went from goofing around to hentai cliches sourrounding rape, incest, and tentacles. I don't mind the topics, nor the genres, but it's just an endless stream of cliches - without playing those well. Perhaps it's just another story stereotype the author is playing around with, or perhaps not. Time will tell.
Language or grammar wise the story is ok. I'm not quite sold of reading something like a comic script, that style might be fast paced, but it leaves out anything like the effects of a detailed description or suspence.
Parts of this story is not on ScribbleHub. The Author describes it as bonus content. For me that's a dealbreaker. I'm here to read the story, not to get links to another site.
So, to summarize: The first 20 chapters or so - 4, 5 stars, brilliant ideas, overall a lot of fun ideas and concept. Past chapter 29'sih - 3, 5 stars. Too heavy on cliches, and it just stopped being good.

I think it's the very first homm3 fic I've read:)
I really enjoyed it and I hope you'll continue it.

It's pretty good, the author uses images to compensate for scenes and text to compensate his illustrations. This way the reader gets the best of both.

I love the humour and the incredible illustrations. The scenes are great too! Will see how it progresses from here!

For the first 3 chapters (4 if the prologue is imcluded) was absolute trash AND I LOVE IT it was so clichéd it was good imo I have seen my fair share of smut content but this is maybe one of my top 50s just because it embraces how it's so trash, but the art is about b-tier which is just good, not great, just good

One of the funniest and best written smuts I've read in (sadly) a long time.
It has drawings (the kind that makes you more immersed in the story and not the kind that throws you off) so that's a plus.
The universe it's based on is one of my favorites as well so that's another plus.
Grammar is 10/10 I haven't noticed any issues. Plus.
Smut scenes (only one so far) are... "very well written", if you know what I mean *wink wink*. A big plus.
I think that's 3+2 plus? Guess that's a 5 stars!

Overall, it's really good! The comedy is good, as well as the nsfw. The sketches are a very nice addition. While sometimes they do look a little strange, it's still better than nothing. Plus I have a hard time visualizing things, so having a sketch to go off for characters locations etc. Is very helpful. Overall it's been a great read so far. If I don't change my review, then note that this still stands for the rest of the novel.

Nice lighthearted fun so far. Good smut and decent writing. Looking forward to where the story takes us.
