After the harrowing adventures of their previous trip into the Human Era ruins, Liam and the girls are ready for a bit of a break. The trip underground taught them where they were strong, and where they needed to improve. And one area that they have decided on is that they need to expand their little adventuring party.

Opening up the group to others from Kassandra and Rieka’s class isn’t something to be done lightly, though. The end of the semester is coming quickly and the grading of the summoning project with it. Just how they are going to be judged will need to be taken into account, as well as integrating the new party members as well.

On the Earth front, Liam also has to figure out the very important process of how to keep a roof over his head since he fulfilled a dream shared by many: quitting his shitty, dead-end job.

Compared to battling shadowy horrors inside an ancient research-facility-become-tomb, earning a living shouldn’t be that hard, right?

------------

*** Summoned by Monster Girls is a portal-fantasy, LITRPG, slice-of-life, men's romance, progression fantasy about a man who is summoned to another world, but still has to maintain a day job back on Earth to keep a roof over his head. It doesn't shy away from combat, blood, and mental issues, but also includes simply sweet things like an overly-cuddly miniature lamia and wolf-girl who loves head-pats. Along with plenty of romance and other interesting monster girls.

Dude, this is the definition of a cliffhanger.
Well worth a listen, tremendous , well developed and progressive building of the world and its story.

Roll on another, this was brilliant

as ever, M Tress impresses with continuous world building and expanding the characters. the author does combat brilliantly, making you feel like you're watching a cohesive fight. this is slightly let down by the sense of slow pace beyond the fights and exploration. at times some conversations feel redundant as characters repeat or belabour points, or we get excruciating detail on minor things. this is a shame as the plot is brilliant and I want to see it progress. I'm hopeful the next book expands on the hinted politics and the new girl (s) being teased as possible new partners too! (Jane and lady Valda I hope join at the same time, given they seem close).

overall more fun, and I look forward to more, just hoping it picks up pace and keeps the tempo up!

continues to be a great bit of world building!

Im enjoying this series though Liam lack of thought and inability to remember even the simplest of things is grating. hope that improves.

Great book
