I have to agree with most of the top reviews. The author starts going insane with the amount of smut vs actual plot progression and instead of taking the criticism he starts telling readers to go somewhere else instead of trying to improve a story that had promise. Don't waste your time, and definitely don't waste your money. There is more detailed or fulfilling smut on this site with Patreons that actually have some story to them, paying for this would be like paying to watch some classic pizza guy plot level porn online.

Good story in my opinion, only have a little bit of things that's not really my taste and maybe can also make you hate the story.

Look, normally I would never consider doing something like making an account, much less writing a review. 

Getting involved with any community like this is something I am far too slothful for. I preferred festering in the dark while drinking in the degeneracy one chapter at a time, like many of my other brethren.

For me that is just testament to this fictions greatness, and the sheer enjoyment I get from reading it. 

I am by no means a littérateur, and Slave Harem has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, despite being a chore to read at times, so I may be a little biased. But I believe this novel perfectly encapsulates everything I enjoyed about that series, as well as combining many other great elements I enjoy from web/light novels.

In summary it's great read it. 

Go read it now if I've convinced you with just this instead of continuing, because this is going to be more of an essay than review, like I think I've put more effort into this than any of my assignments. Heretics stay behind, class ain't dismissed, you can suffer through the first review I've ever written until you are convinced.

Just to list some things I love off the top of my head:

1. The chapters are all substantially meaty making for an enjoyable read. So you aren't reading chapters so bare its a crime to call it a chapter, but not so much you get overwhelmed and start scrolling through mindlessly. My opinion.
2. The story is great and enjoyable, not much else to say but read it.
3. The characters introduced, particularly the heroines, are all genuinely charming and well... "developed". (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
4. The dialogue is... really nice and fun. I find myself audibly chuckling at least once a chapter. A rare occurrence in my usually soundless basement.
5. Why are you still reading this you weirdo it's already been over 400 words. You are free. Go read the novel if you have time for my garbage.
6. This ones more debatable. There is genuine conflict and struggles in the novel, but Rupegia definitely is a good part slice of life. No constant world ending plots, or comically overpowered battles. Just the MC and his crew making a life for themselves. This I like because I feel the novel is more focused and "real", but this by no means implies the novel is boring.
7. I am a man of culture. I enjoy the "educational" content in my novels like I enjoy the Cheeto foam on my 3rd Mountain Dew this past hour. I hate it when a novel is literally a flimsy wrapping used to contain terribly written and corny smut, with a main lead who is literally a walking phallus, so the author has just enough time to jam it down your throat to stop the oxygen from reaching your brain, preventing you from closing the damn window. Rupegia's good stuff somehow manages to be hot but also funny/charming at times, and almost always a great read. Despite the one or two times reaching levels of degeneracy even a monster such as I normally wouldn't be able to handle, I still manage to read on because the characters are just great. Also how are you still reading this.
8. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I like to think I've read a lot of novels in my times and I've encountered some not so pleasant stuff. But the one thing I am most sensitive to is cringe. Cringeworthy dialogue that may only bring a slight frown to a person has me physically squirming in pain. Yet despite all the warning signs this novel's tags gave me, I have yet to cringe once. Yay.

If I were to complain about one thing in this novel, it would be the blurb is really weak. It does not do the actual story even a lick of justice. I actually almost didn't read it cuz of this.

Also pet peeve: Unlike the blurb states, the MC would definitely fall under the OP category (which normally is bad in my OP), in a particular sense. He can do things no one else can, which gives him an insane edge. So no mass genocide and razing mountains with a single swing, but people would still kill to have what he has.

Look, if you've managed to read up to this point, congratulations and thanks for listening to my rambles. Here have a cookie. Also if I've pissed off anyone somehow then sorry this is all my opinion and I respect everyone has their own.

I hope this author keeps producing more amazing stuff, and gets the views and support he deserves. 

Like if he published Rupegia I'd buy it in a heartbeat, as long as the cover art ain't cringey, like Blackthornes, I mean no offence but my god. I love the art from Mana Manasong currently has going, it makes me think 'Rupegia', whatever that means.

If you like Ace_Arriande's stuff or 'My Sister The Villainess' or any others as great as them, I think you'll love this. Also if you haven't read the stuff I just listed do it, it's amazing, what are you doing you madman.

Now excuse me, I need to go apologise to the world.

There's a great story hidden in here but it died an early death, murdered by the author's out-of-control fetishes. The story started out with an excellent balance between plot and s*x scenes, but s*x scenes started to take over. First the excessive s*x scenes started to get repetitive, so it looks like the author tried to compensate by increasing the amount of unnecessary detail and continually adding new fetishes rather than dialing back on the s*x and focusing more on plot / characterization / world building (the parts of the novel which are otherwise excellent). Keep this story bookmarked in case you ever need a handy example to prove that yes, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Rupegia makes a perfect case study in the value of moderation.

(Review edited because author updated the story description.)
You will note that the five-star ratings were done by early readers, as compared to the lower ratings that this story is getting now.  Story started pretty well, with decent action sequences and interesting fantasy elements.  However, it QUICKLY devolved into a harem @#$%fest with about 75% or more of the content focused on the various threesomes, foursomes, orgies that occur twice or thrice daily for the MC.  The author had to go to ridiculous extremes providing outrageous magical abilities to enable the dumb amounts of s*x the MC was having... unfortunately, at the expense of any interesting storytelling.
If this story has any hope of being resurrected, the MCs harem needs to be wiped out (yes, kill them all, otherwise the story won't progress past the mess it has become), causing the MC to realize that he has been a nymphomaniac....  Otherwise, author has excellent writing skills and ability to formulate coherent storylines.  Alternatively, rather than write an adventure/fantasy story, author could go write scripts for adult films.

Since the Author refuses to put it in tags or even warnings and to save you from reading half the story if you're a sane person:

This contains HEAVY bestiality. Story goes from virtually vanilla at start and devolves almost entirely half way in into bestiality in every orgy. MC fox a fox and a lizard and who knows wtf else later, next likely candidate being a monkey... 3 star story, starts good, gets pretty dry about 20 chaps in, 1 star for wasting time and adding that crap outta nowhere.

MC is pretty pathetic as well, faints in every battle and most of his harem belongs more to one of his slaves than him.

Pretty realist take on an isekai, getting suddenly pulled out of your world and sent into one that objectively worsens your life would f**k with anyone's mind.

MC starts out depressed and fearful and slowly grows into someone better. The keyword being slow since the story's pacing is very slow as the author spends most of the time writing details and telling about the daily life of the MC. I mean, literally every day. The only timeskip is near the beginning that jumps two days.

The focus is on slice-of-life, fluff, character interactions, s*x, and love between the MC and the harem members (and a lot of "love" between the girls themselves) interweaved with lots of adventuring, world-building, combat, and some plot.

The second arc (Escort through the High Forest) has too much s*x, but the next arc fixes it.

This is pretty bad. I was hoping it would get better but it never did. The MC is a beta simp. His thought process is... I can't even think of a word to describe it. I guess the closest word would be inconsistent. He claims to be a robot scientists but is as dumb as a brick when it counts. He is emotionally unstable and keeps having nightmares about killing goblins. f**king goblins. It happening once is OK but it happening every night? Come on man. It's explained away as it being a trauma but then why is he still killing goblins. Hundreds of goblins at that and still having nightmares about it. 

Weak willed MC are never fun to read. But we keep reading because we expect the MC to grow a back bone. I don't think this MC will do this. In fact I think he will start clinging to her harem and become a mega beta. I didn't read far so I don't know for sure but based off the other reviews, it seems to be true.

Anyway, this story hurts my brain and I will read no more. The only good thing about this story is the mechanics 'level up system' and the fact that it has long chapters. Other than those two, this story is trash.
