Publisher's summary

In the player-versus-player MMORPG, Fantasy Realms Online, people live out the fantasies they can't in real life, no matter how bloody or sexy they might be, and Kromgorn the Barbarian is no exception. He and his guildies make constant warfare against their rivals in the Secret Order, a guild led by the dark Lich-Lord, who's also rumored to be a crazy hacker in real life, and they make fun of players who just use the game for stupid things like getting laid.

But when the Lich-Lord releases a powerful spell that traps most of the players in the game permanently, Kromgorn accidentally winds up stuck in the avatar of his friend, Lacey - a stupid, low-level female character that was designed exclusively to get down and dirty with the in-game pleasure system. Even worse, he gets captured by the orcs and thrown into their harem dungeon, where he finds he's powerless to resist his captors! The developers really modeled female bodies correctly in this game, and it's humiliating to have to go from being a high-level barbarian to a simpering little harem girl.

With his guild drawing closer to an epic encounter with the Lich-Lord, they need all the high-level players they can get! Will Krom figure out a way to get himself out of this useless body and get back in time to help his friends, or will he be stuck forever working on his back in a dirty harem dungeon? The only way out of this mess might be to give in to his situation and embrace his new body in order to outmaneuver his foes.

Who knows? He might even end up enjoying himself....

With hours of humorous, gender-swapped fantasy action and some very steamy scenes, this audiobook is intended for mature audiences who enjoy FF and MF encounters with lots of gender-bending fun.

It was amusing

I know this little short is literally nothing but porn, but suppose there were a class as baddly designed as that, you could still have power leveled your way through without needing to play super-prostitute. Lvl stealth the whole time, and charm the dungeons NPC's constantly. They go into combat for you, and die like the trash they are. You get the bonuses to XP for capturing a higher lvl opponent and can loot the remaining mobs when you're done. You can even push your combat skills if it looks like your pet will survive the encounter without or with just a little help. Sex only needs to be with the ones youre actually interested in and so long as your targets are higher lvl, the lvls flow just as fast or faster than the NPC swarm.

Top tier LitRPG!

I swear I had already reviewed this book, oh well, lost in the internet. l believe it is a funny premise of the story I found to be both funny and fascinating. Who hasn't wondered about how sex would be for the other gender? Anyway, a great story. I highly recommend this book/series. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Good book and good performance by the narrator

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review with my honest opinions.

I came into this audiobook having read the book on kindle a few months ago and enjoyed it then, as both an avid reader of books and listener of audiobooks I'm used to swapping between titles often and getting used to different narrator styles.

At first it was abit strange having a male narrator knowing what the story contains but I commend the narrator on their performance as this was not an issue and it came out really good and they did justice to Alysons work.

A litRPG that's funny and fun to listen to.

Before I listened to this book, I had already listened to the third book of this little series. Talk about watching Return of the king before Fellowship, am I right? But now that. I have all 3 books, I can safely say love this series and look forward to Alyson Belle's other works.

difficult to get into

i had a difficult time trying to submerge myself in this book. the narrator sounded like he was reading to children with his condesending tone.

the author definatly had an axe to grind about the way women were treated in games. while this isnt bad to include in books, it does seem to be heavy handed

LitRPG-ish

Solid gender-bender story with a passing nod at LitRPG. The story takes place in a video game, like a lot of LitRPGs, but it glosses over lot of the LitRPG element or just goes very light on stats, leveling, and skill ups. More GameLit than LitRPG.

The plot is interesting enough that I'll give the 2nd part a try, but for anything other than a 4 hour erotica title the plot would need more expansion.

The narrator J.J. Jenness is ok, but does come across as a bit inexperienced as a narrator. I'm looking forward to see if his reading and character voice improve as the story goes on.

This is so against my will.

This took me a little bit to get into. But it's a good beginning for a series. I also can't wait for more of this, I want to say more about this story but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won't do it to you by going into details. I wish we could give half stars I'd have given this a 3 1/2 stars.
The narrator brings the story to life.

A Nice Balance Between the Erotic & Story

Please note, I was given a free copy of this book, however I was under no obligation to write this review.

I'll give a general review of my thoughts followed by my pros and cons.

I felt that Fantasy Swapped Online was a good, fun, easy to listen to LitRPG story. While I would consider this to be an erotic LitRPG, I feel that the sexy parts are not overdone and fit in well with the story, which is the main focus of the book. The game world is interesting and fairly well thought out, and the story jumps right in with very little out of game portions. Overall, I felt that this was a good, if short, story and am looking forward to continuing the series.

Pros:
+ A good story, with a well paced plot
+ Doesn't overly focus on the erotic aspect, a good balance between story and eroticism
+ Interesting characters and game world
+ Very little out of game content

Cons:
- While the narration was good, I wasn't overly thrilled with the female voices
- A few plot points could have easy in-game solutions that go overlooked
- Short, The world was interesting and I would have liked more of it.

Awesomeness

For me it had a little bit of a slow start, but after the story really started to move I didn't want to stop listening.

Better than I imagined

I honestly thought this would be like a romance novel, but I was pleasantly surprised. It does have a good bit of graphic sex, but it also has a decent plot and loads of humor. The halfling is hilarious!

At my request, I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
