The Wolf King's Lair #2
The Wolf King's Lair 2
Daxas has survived his first few weeks as a Dungeon. He has successfully discovered several exploits in the system and has been thriving. He is advancing to the second rank, fought off an invasion of orcs and goblins and most importantly now has a lovely wood elf companion named Jessamyn. However, success brings new challenges, and new more powerful challengers. It's time for the Wolf King to expand his dungeon, cut down any who dare oppose him and add a few more willing allies to his defences.
Meanwhile, the Divine Lord's are plotting in the background, trying to engineer his downfall. Can he survive? Probably, he is pretty awesome after all, and he plans to have plenty of fun along the way.
(The story contains Gamelit and elements like stats and levelling.)

Did you like the first? You get more of the same. Which is what people want in a series, don't get me wrong, but it suffers from a few of the same problems.
The author acknowledges in a foreward that Daxas doesn't seem particularly challenged, and says that will be addressed later, but having binged the whole series, it almost doesn't (outside of...well, I'll review those books).
While Jessamyn is present and provides a little sex, it takes a while for new girls to come into the harem. Then they do, and the story gets very three-four-five-some. The plot-to-sex pacing feels a bit lopsided, like the first one. Jessamyn gets a personality shift that makes sense for her background, but it definitely changes her character from who we got to know in book one. Also there is are real hints of dominance and submission play going on, which gets stronger as the series goes on.
3.5 stars.

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review
Genre: Isekai LitRPG Dungeon core slowburn carnal Harem
Summary:
Daxas (formerly Dave) has reached rank 2 and is only getting started. Through clever tricks and heavy use of insentives he will get cemented as a dungeon to recon with in no time.
LitRPG system: Stat based characters with stats, skills and abilities. Level and skill gated build and tech tree for the dungeon building.
Power dynamics in harem: MC is completely in charge. The 3 girls (slowburn) wants him, but could not challenge if they wanted.
Explicit/adult material: Explicit. Domination, not without consent.
Narration:
Voice diversity: Each character has distinct voices and conversation is always easy to follow.
Pacing and intonation: Possibly the best part, the telling of the story guides you to feel the tension or relief as the characters experience it.
Sex scenes: Very well done.
Overall: 4.5 / 5 stars.
The book’s strengths.
- The MC is relatable and flawed, you are cheering for him even when he does things you would not condone in a modern setting.
- I love the focus on building and establishing a base / dungeon.
- The search for bugs and loopholes of the system is fun.
- Less focus on setting the scene and explaining the system.
- Great narration.
The book’s weaknesses.
- The book is focusing more on lust than romance. It works well with a partly primal MC.
- The shift in personality of the first girl felt a bit fast.
Overall: 4.5/5 stars

Poor story and weak MC
The author tries to talk a bit game But he's making his writing style. This is a failure of many of these vanity publishing's What are the author tries to talk to big game when it comes to the masters in decision show but they have no concept of what it means. 1 moment he has some morning characters calling him master and then next he's using at disclaimer say she's not my slave and I never asked you to do that ..... Wanna pathetic if you're going to right like this then just right like this enjoy the foundation of the masters Answer missing relationship don't put Disclaimers in there..

creative in howling my expectations
The story had a few problems from wrong numbers to word spelling but over all it was showing great chacthers development over the first novel. Do the side male chacthers had little to no dialog of there thoughts or backstories that felt no connection to compared to the females leaving me with shrewd bias from the authors prerogative. The last problem I had was the reason behind the MCks trouble seemed too overpowered and no reason giving why the MC never felt any thing from his gift back on earth felt to mugh like a cop out reason for it.

This was very disappointing.
The story in the first book was fine, it was just an incredibly boring set up that brought it down. So with a second book, I figured it would be time to shine. I was wrong. At the halfway point where the world mechanics, that have been relentlessly brought up again and again, are ignored for a quick harem addition I was done. If you can't get your story to do what you want within your own world state then why bother writing it at all.

Still original in the second book
I enjoy reading in this genre and this series is keeping it fresh and interesting. The author works to make good and bad things happen to characters, which makes it interesting.

Book two better than one
This book was better than the to me due to there being more story and less game semantics. Hopefully the next one will have more character development. Good read.

Great book, well written!
I'm new to this genre, but was surprised at how much I got into the story and how the world of being a dungeon was keeping me interested! Well written and hope more installments will follow!

This is awesome!
The Wolf King series is really fun to read. Especially the Wolf King his self. The author Devan Drake has a wicked sense of humor. That makes his stories fun to read. Though the action and gratuitous sex are fantastic too. I can't wait to read book three!

Two
More fun was had... by everyone. Really, the story keeps getting better. I don't know what crappy call center day job has its hooks in you, but I hope you do well here so you can leave it for this. Because this is your calling. Here's to many more great and varied adventures.

Just as good as book 1
As good as book one, wile balancing the increased stakes.
More back story, and world building. Yeah maybe a bit more sex, but it's not overdone or shoehorned in awkwardly.

This turned out "okay". I can't complain about the protagonist being horny because he is a sex dungeon.
I will have to make sure I read through the other reviews for this book. Will pick up the sequel.
3/5 Stars

Just a continuation from the first books so if you liked that you'll probably like this one to.

It got very boring. The constant breaking of the fourth wall was annoying, as well as the bad grammar and inappropriate use of quotation marks. The childish writing never helped its case.

Another entertaining volume. Perhaps some of the sex scenes run a tad long, but overall, they don’t bog down the pacing. It was fun.

If you liked book 1, the series continues here. It's perfectly fine.
