"You may now kiss the bride."
But no kiss ever came.
I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me.
Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help.
Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible.
Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way!

**New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. At least 3k words each.**
*Additional Tags*: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves
*Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content
*What to expect*: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot.
The plot exists but it *very slowly* becomes relevant.
Also, *slow* character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters.
Detailed environments and extensive world-building.
Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy.
Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered.
*Lots* of descriptive sex scenes, it is treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service.
A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other.
Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language.
This story is also on Royal Road (*most of the sexual content is censored*), Novel Updates, Hentai Foundry, Webnovel, MoonQuill, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica.
Imma keep this review as short, simple, and relatively spoiler free as much as possible.
1. Magic system is nice but are seldom explored during the latter part of the story.
2. Fantasy monster aspect is awesome. Lots of different variety, but sadly little in depth explanation about most of them. Theres also a lot of humanoid races, but most also lack in depth explanations.
3. Worldbuilding is good. Theres a lot of relevant characters beside the MC and his harem who are actively affecting the world, doing their own stuff.
4. Smut scenes are aight, harem members are gay af though. This is an early warning to 1st time readers, the MC is both a closet cuckold and a closet gay. He let 2 of his women whom he loved f**k other men. And guess what, he gets super excited over them being f**ked by other men too. Also he and his harem enjoy having public seggs infront of others. Their friends, families, other nobles and commoners. Absolute depraved.
He also keeps denying being gay but is okay with other dude drinking his jizz.
5. Author seemed super burnt out during the latter part of the novel. It went from exploring a fantasy world of magic and monsters into a half novel essay about reinventing earth technology. If youre a wrinkled brained person like me then have fun smooth about breechloading pistol design 101. Or logic gates entry to programming 101. Or god almighty, a gunpowder 1 0 1 because all isekai needs to have an MC reinventing gunpowder amirite. Because there will be a lot of "wikipedia" chapters later on in the novel. And its all science stuffs.
Overall, read for the smut and try to not self insert too much. The novel is enjoyable enough if you skip everything but smut, its also enjoyable enough if you skip all smut scenes. Also personally I think that most of the things I personally dislike only happen during the latter part of the novel. I blame author burnout for this one. Cheers and have fun reading.
