I know you’re here looking for an epic story about a powerless chemistry teacher turning a fantasy world and its rules on its head, having to rely on others to fight brutal battles, surviving impossible odds, to navigate difficult relationship dynamics, of a human having to handle being surrounded by people who consider the rules of physics little more than guidelines, and of carving out a place to call home in a dangerous world.
But let me level with you. Rick Cross might be the reason this new world gets itself the equivalent of the Geneva Convention, but he is also a flawed human pushing thirty in a world where he barely has a penny to his name. Lacking any magical abilities of his own, it will take sweat, blood, deception, and more than a bit of luck to get to where he conquers places and people (Unless you want to skip the pain and jump to chapter 20).
AN:
"Alchimia Rex" is a continuation of "Monsters and Maidens", but written with the intent of standing on its own.
I love this author. I started writing because I fell in love with this author's work and wanted to make my version of a pokemon-esque monster girl universe. This is technically the second volume though it is not necessary to read the first one because that is more like a prologue volume. I recommend any monster girl lover to read this and look up this author on patreon, you will not be disappointed. Yes, I am fan-boying. Sue me, I have followed this author for years now and saw how far he has come and if I was not broke I would have definitely been a part of his patreon already.

Man I really love this story! Eventhough it may seem as "just" a smut story at first it is from my perspective one of the best stories on this plattfrom.
What I especially like are the different character perspectives. The author really nailes it to create distinct personalities for his characters and they keep growing/changing throughout the story.
What I really like about the story is that important events are often not transmitted through simply summarizing them - NO. Instead the author changes perspective to another character and then writes how the events play out - so "Show don't tell" is really being done here!
And one of my personal favorites of the story is that I find the MC really relatable. Oftentimes I, like the MC, come to the conclusion of "Those crazy poké girls..." and I always smile when I read a chapter from the perspective of those poké girls and they just cannot comprehend what "this crazy human man" thinks :D.
All in all I would really recommend reading this story!
But I would recommend reading the first volume before this one!
