Monster Masseur

A Cozy Slice of Life Tale of Harem Romance and Isekai Fantasy

De: Virgil Knightley

Narrado por: Renée Nolen, Trevor Jordan

His only wish is to bring comfort to all, but others only recognize him for the pain his healing hands once caused.

Ryker Hayes is a licensed massage therapist, and a damn good one at that. It's a career he's passionate about, and all his plans for life are on track—until he winds up transported to the world of Werifesteria in the body of an infamous warlord, at least.

Now all he really wants to do is forget the misdeeds of his alter ego and retire to a life of anonymity with a couple interesting women as his new partners. Together, they open the very first massage inn and spa in all the land, and take on all the responsibilities that come with it. Turns out, it's a lot of work!

To reach his potential, he'll have to come to grips with the secrets of this mysterious world and the way its magic system functions. Can he find peace in the borderlands? Can he turn his Mastery of the Threads of Power into a fulfilling career as a masseur to the denizens of this fantasy world? And last, but certainly not least, how will he manage his increasingly complex relationships?

didn't rub me the wrong way ;)

I didn't know really what to expect from this title but I really enjoyed it. it's a slow burn, for the first book anyway but was really good. I enjoyed both the narrators but the female actor did really well and I'll look into both their other works. worth the listen.

masseur in another world

fun and interesting twist on the tried and true formula for Isekai. but instead of a badass warrior the mc is a masseur who wants just to open a tavern.

slow burn and funny.

well done narrators. I dont think my mind would have made the same concept. the voices made the story on this one.
with that said the story was good, well thought out. I'm just not a slow burn reader.
I'll pick up book 2 when it gets here.

Good book

Pretty good story though I did feel there was room for improvement in how things are described.

For narration, it was good, but I feel it could be better with a less even delivery in the character's tone.

This book was not what I was expecting.

And I'm glad it wasn't.

I was thinking this book was going to be some Saturday morning cartoon for adults in book form, but this was an actual book with a great other world and characters that you can relate to like a sexy crazy demon girl that is an artist with a heart of gold and a bed manner for Penthouse letters.
Knightley really did a great job integrating a masseur into something not silly.

Needless to say, I really enjoyed this book.
Jordan and Nolen do a great job narrating, as well.

Not used to it

I’m not used to slice of life. Thought Virgil knightley knows what he’s doing. I just finished Solar dragons need love, too and I love it. It’s action and romance and angst all rappers in one.

One of my favourite Isekai fantasy stories

Memorable characters, unique voices, and an interesting plot and hook make this a super fun read. I couldn't recommend this book enough to any fans of the genre.

Not what I expected

I expected a silly book from the title, but was I wrong. I had dismissed this title before thinking I would be into it, I was wrong. This story is full of adventure and unique plot twists with spicy interludes. I highly recommend this book and look forward to listening to the next one.

Super comfy Slice of Life

I have to say I Love Virgil Knightley, he always has the perfect blend of humor and sexiness. This one is no different, I love the narrators and they fit the tone of the story perfectly. absolutely worth the credit.

Good story

This was nice slice of life story that wasn't the least bit boring. Taking a marauding warlord and making them a master monster masseur actually makes for a good plot line if done well. This book was done well. I enjoyed the side character backstory and the making of the mc's harem. Then, of course, there is dual narration for the win. I guess what I liked most was the cozy part. It really is just a good story and cozy doesn't mean boring. I highly recommend this book.

Up next...book 2!
