Ark, a budding human magician enjoying his second life in a new world full of swords and magic left his home to become an adventurer, only to be defeated on a goblin subjugation quest. Waking up in a lightless cavern, Ark's battle for survival begins with his lower half! Can he rise to the task of being the brand new freely shared husband of an entire tribe consisting of only female goblins who want nothing more than to procreate with him every waking moment?
You better fuckin' believe it.
For the record, this is less dark fantasy and more wacky fantasy that occasionally touches on some slow life family drama. It starts out smutty but does begin to flesh out into actual plot as the story progresses. There can be mild depictions of cruelty and gore, but, I mean, what do you expect when you're reading a web novel that has goblins?

This story is well worth your time if you like the premise.
The best aspect of this is, ironically, the humanity of the characters and the maturity with which it tackles nuanced moral issues.
It is smut, but it is not shallow by any means.

I'll be brutally honest: I came here for a weird smut story. Ya, I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that. Nonetheless, while the smut is pretty decent, I've become pretty invested in the MC and some of the members of the goblin tribe he's in, which is something I never would have suspected to happen. I highly recommend this book: the grammar is great, style flows well, pacing is satisfying, characters are pretty relatable and realistic (and actually act like goblins, and not midget elves'), and the story is shaping out to actually have a decent amount of depth.
Keep up the great writing tounokenja, I can see that this series has a LOT of potential.
Side note: the story has really hit its stride at around chapter 9-12 (I'm really liking what's going on with the protector), so I'd recommend at least read to there if your here for the story.
Update (9/19/2023) : *spoiler warning*
Note: this comment is talking about a situation with one of the main love interests' sisters, who is on the spectrum; I think it expresses my feelings pertaining to the morality of the MC and why I enjoy reading about him so much.
Here's my comment from chapter 22: "honestly, this was done in a pretty 'tasteful' way: it's clear the MC is essentially being forced to do this (in my opinion), but is putting up boundaries and actually trying to act like an actual human with morals; I'd assume many other works of fiction might simply have the MC impregnate the sister and then move on without actually trying to seriously help out either the baby or the mother. Seriously, this is one of the reasons I'm liking this series so much; it makes the MC feel human, not just a character in some web novel smut story with gray morals."
