Rogan's Monsters

Wastelands, Book 1

By: Jack Porter

Narrated by: Andrew B. Wehrlen

Death, it seems, isn’t always the end.

I was a soldier, fighting for the lives of the whole damned world, when I went and got myself obliterated by this alien f**k.

I figured that was it. Game over, done. But then I woke up in a different body, in a strange world full of dust and ruins, with awesome martial arts skills I’d never had before. Not to mention a chi gift thing that seemed to work a lot like magic.

I had no clue why or how it all happened. All I knew was that there were these monster girls I was supposed to protect from an endless horde of semi-human things that wanted us all dead.

And there were these words seared into my brain like a motivational quote: You can save them. You can save all of them.

Of course, I had no clue who the words referred to, whether there was any truth to them at all, or where to f**king begin.

Rogan’s Monsters: Wastelands follows our hero's sword-swinging adventure across the wastes of a strange new world. It is the first book in a harem series that includes isekai, wuxia, xianxia elements (martial arts and magic), as well as a few gamelit mechanisms for good measure. Set (mostly) in a post-apocalyptic world, it contains violence, nudity, and sex, as well as alien invasions, wraiths, and monster girls.

Listen at your own risk.

Portal Fantasy, Gamelit, harem

This was really well written, with a great premise. I think it was sold as Litrpg, more of a gamelit/portal fantasy. Really amazing potential as a series, probably would be way more popular without the harem qualities, which it did not need, or rely on too much. I don't mind harem and do not feel like it detracts from stories like most people do. I would love to read more in the series. I received this copy for free for reviewing.

Honest Review in Exchange for Promotional Copy

Nice blend of sci-fi and fantasy with some elements of LitRPG/GameLit and harem. A not too serious fun exciting adventure that starts in modern times with a monster alien invasion and ends up in an alternate distant future time. Does have an rpg feel to it without being set in a virtual game world. The AC eye lens used by the main character reminds me of Dragon Ball Z where an eye lens is also used to scan the power levels of characters. Will be interested in checking out the next installment of this series.

Good Story

Good Story with excellent characters, not your normal characters but definitely interesting. The plot is definitely intriguing and keeps me wondering. The narration is excellent!

Surprisingly good book

This is surprisingly good.
The book starts where earth is attacked by aliens(but aliens are goblins & wraiths who can use magic) and the MC dies in the hands of a wraith to be woken up in a much stronger body of the same name 600 years later on the same earth.

It was fun, the only blowback is the book is a little short.

It's part Post-Apocalypse, part Sci-fi Fantasy, and to top it off throw in a ittle Wuxia.

It has a decent storyline but I thought it spent a little too much time on the beginning with him as a soldier then just dropped us in a new body and time with little explanation, but besides that it was definitely not bad.

A whole lot of harem fun

Had a blast listening to this sword slinging epic and no regrets. On to book 2!

Good concept

Good idea but very dry misses multiple chances to add more like most shorter books slow then rushed at the end

Great start!

Exactly what the label says, he is a solider there’s monster girls and a tasteful amount of sex (not over the top and not incredibly long and drawn out), martial arts and magic isn’t over the top in depth so don’t worry if you aren’t a samurai expert or anything.

Overall I loved this book it is very well balanced great combat, world building, sex, and adventure. My only issue I see is it’s a little on the short side and the next book is going to be even shorter so if the author reads this I hope the sequels will be combined (like books 1&2 together, books 3&4 together).

Narration was ok but could use some work annunciating his words more clearly.

Received for free and left an honest review.

wait for an omnibus!

the "ending" is the worst conclusion to a book I've ever read or heard. it's like if star wars ended after Luke and Ben hired Han but before they got into space.

His a slave and I hate it

He’s a slave the whole book I hate it I don’t think I’ll buy the next one
