Synopsis

BRONZE TIER WINNER OF WPC# 176 Harem + System



Jimmy Stark’s blessing with powers and a magical system was also a curse for him from birth. It granted him certain abilities most would have to train to get, but it also affected his brain to some degree.



Following a botched attempt of seduction by a succubus named Belva, he finds himself in the middle of an ongoing war from the Underworld involving many succubi against their former Queen, Malvagia, and this fight's heading to Earth. Getting dragged into it, Jimmy would also later meet Belva's gorgeous, dangerous and most likely silly fellow succubi along the way.



Not exactly a hero, but far from a villain, Jimmy’s got the looks, the system the powers, and his own share of wickedness to help the succubi go head to head with Malvagia. This is the tale of the man who loved snakes.

REVIEW Narration: Decent and immersive Worldbuilding: Vast and detailed Character development: Nice and steady Character design: Outstanding Dialogues: Realistic and Lifelike Pacing: Not fast nor too slow Writing quality: Magnificent Execution of the Genre: Good pitch Story potential: High Updating Stability: Steady MESSAGE I am deeply happy that the author joined the contest. It was one of the most immersive chaps I ever been to. I was thinking it was modern but I was surprised that the novel was fantasy! The vivid narration made it cut above the rest! I didn't bore out but I enjoyed reading it until I went to another page. Seemed immersive enough for me to crave for more! Kudos and good luck on the contest. I will vote for your work for two weeks until the contest ends. Happy now? 😂

Intense and vivid world. The main character is brought to life brilliantly. Pieces of personality are carefully placed together revealing the big picture.

Interesting plot. Never heard of it before which is a good sign for readers to take a look at it. The flow of writing is good, decent but it can be modified. I am not much satisfied with it. The chapters are few so I cannot give a full honest review according to it but anyway, the story has potential and will do great in future. Make sure to update daily and a lil push to your writing skills. altogether, it's nice. [img=recommend]

Splendid. Gripping. Terrifyingly vivid and straight to the point. The author knows what to show and what to leave to the imagination of readers. I recommend this and all works by the author for everyone who has any taste in literature, for the pacing and the ideas presented are thrilling and I expect great things from this novel. If it will ever become a physical paperback, I want it in my book collection. Absolutely fantastic main character as well, everything is very believable and psychologically realistic.

Snakes, Systems, and succubi; what else would someone want in a novel? It does a good job following the rules of the contest, and I admit I got hooked more at the ‘snake’ part then anything else. Overall a very unique take on a overdone genre, definitely adding to my collection :)

Good show. Characterization and world building is excellently done. It's vivid to read and novel enough that it's keeping me interested. Dialogue is also natural in it's flow. Keep on writing

Theme for the story was implemented beautifully. Just a little tweak and it would be comparable to the mainstream writings. I liked everything about the novel except the cover. [img=faceslap][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=update][img=update][img=recommend][img=recommend]

I really like the amount of details the author uses for world building. The more I read the more I find myself vividly imagining the world that has been created by the story.

Interesting stuff, I enjoyed reading this a lot. I'm not really into systems or game elements but the way the author portrayed the story and its characters made me disregard it while reading. Keep going, Author-sama!

I saw harem and instant 5/5 no questions asked. Succubi + Harem is really a great recipe for some saucy stuff *wink*. Can't wait to see how this story turns out!

Great story author! I am impressed with the fluidity of the plot and the action scenes. Even the dialogues are right on point. I like the world background and how well you describe it to entice the readers to know more about it. The MC is so cool and well designed. I truly immersed myself in the story, so much that I continued reading the next chapters without stopping. Fascinating and addictive. Amazing!

We only have 10 chapters so far but, the story is engaging enough. I appreciate that your writing seems the 'direct and in action' type, it helps to make me stay focus on the book I hope the updates would be stable in the future, keep it up!
