Synopsis
When Alex woke up, he found himself in a new world.
[Ding!]
[Welcome, Alex, to the world of Criotopia! The land of beauty and the beasts awaits you.]
And a System too!
“What? Criotopia? Wait, that name… isn’t that the same name as the world of the Eroge game I was playing last night?! What the hell is going on?!”
It was a different world consisting of a fantasy landscape, various fantasy races, real magic, and most importantly, lots of beautiful women!
***
Criotopia, an Eroge game that had a very detailed story about youth, school years, politics, wars, and a very difficult fight against the Demon King, who wished to conquer the world.
While it was called an Eroge and had plenty of adult content and beautiful women (Capture Targets), it was also an RPG game, with a great story where you follow the story of Mark, an everyday commoner who accidentally finds the Holy Sword in the ancient ruins and becomes the Hero. But his journey was filled with hardships and fights, to overcome the various troubles from people around him, in the Noble’s Academy, in the Nobility, and finally, monsters and demons. He struggles and along the way finds and 'captures' various girls and women who aid is in his quest to become the world’s greatest hero.
No. of capture targets, including the DLCs: 48
***
Once this shock passed, Alex was somewhat hopeful.
He knew the world and the story it followed, the major plot points and hidden items. He could use his knowledge of this world, even if it's not exactly like in the game, and become the world’s strongest! Not to mention he gets to have a System that lets him level up, which isn’t a feature in the world, since people can’t “level up” in this world.
He also learns of his new family in which he's the only man in the house with 4 beautiful females and maids!
“I’m currently 13. The story starts 4 years later when the first arc, the Academy arc, begins. I can train and become super strong by then! Meanwhile, I must get to know these new family members of mine who happen to be all beautiful females. Hehe.”
Alex was interested in them
But he didn't quite realize this world wasn’t exactly like how the game world. There were more people and things than in the game, moreover, they were now real.
Will he be able to survive in a fantasy world, filled with dangers of all kinds, solely with his System and his foreknowledge?
What are the hidden dangers that lurk in the shadows of the world?
How will Alex's story unfold in this known, yet unknown world?
Find out by reading the novel! XD

Author's Note: The setting of this novel is inspired greatly by another novel that uses the same setting, namely, "The Conqueror's Path". I really liked the concept, so I decided to have my own take on it.
This is NOT plagiarism or a fan fic of "The Conqueror's Path". I have only taken inspiration from the original. Naturally, this novel is not the same and doesn't follow the other's storyline. (Reread it)
It's an different story.
Author's note 2: I am not a professional author, and I do this as a hobby. But I have tried to keep my story presentable. It is not perfect, but it's very readable. Please be kind and patient if you find mistakes. :D
---
Warning! This novel contains the use of explicit language and detailed scenes of intercourse, along with various tropes such as incest, S&M, and probably a bunch of other tropes. (NO NTR!) Readers who do not like such content or are underaged should not read it. You have been warned!
I hope people who enjoy the genre enjoy my humble creation.
P.S.: The Cover picture doesn't belong to me, but the original artist(s). If they want me to remove it, please comment or review it.

Everything about this novel is 10/10 and is deserving of any and all praise. This is not an exaggeration. The Arthur gives their heart into the chapters they create which gives each page the polishness that, let's be honest, even some contracted novels lack. Truly, I was bored of the repetitive nonsense that has been accumulating on webnovel recently. All rubbish. Nothing felt fresh, but this, this is fresh. From the easy to understand, pleasant writing to the characters feeling alive. Each side characters has a goal of their own. Rether that be the main character's elder sister wanting to be a top swordsman or the Head maid willing to belittle herself to upton for her mistakes. Did a give a mini spoiler. Oops. Anyway, they all have thoughts of their own and aren't blatantly following the mc nor mindlessly doing things for the convenience of plot. There's few errors and mistakes that won't enact the rage of bad grammar from within you I promise. Personally I enjoyed the journey so far, currently read chapter 50, and I urge you to give it a try for yourself. That is if you're ok with the tags, reread them just Incase. Don't want any nonsense now do we? To the Arthur: I enjoy your work, really, it's great. I know the motivation you've felt at the beginning has dwindled a significant amount, I don't blame ya, there's a lot of nonsense with webnovel user's who give one stars for idiotic reasons and even sometimes no reason at all. However and this may be selfish of me but I urge and encourage you to continue on. Even with your lost of motivation the recent chapters hasn't taken a slump in delivery nor quality. If you have to, take a tiny, tiny, break to recover that lost motivation but I must warn you that webnovel Arthur's have a curse of dropping novels once the Arthur takes a break. Wait this review feels too long, I've started rambling. Too make matters short I love your novel, please continue on with your hardwork. It does not go unnoticed. And if you can why not gain something from it like a Patreon or something. Just see where it goes. I do like reading for free tho, I mean who doesn't, but works like these deserve extra if you know what I mean.
Notice!! [Temporary Review] I've started editing the starting chapters(Done till chapter 7 at the time of writing this) to improve my MC's initial impressions and behavior. Kinda scr#wed it in the first couple of chapters, thinking I was writing "comedy" or whatever, but it was often just plain cringe and/or annoying. It's much more "normal" now, I suppose? (Well, it is what it is. I am not going to make any further changes to it.) Anyway, if you're a new reader who is about to start this story(Hey! Thanks for reading! :D ), you might wanna know that this is happening from 20th Oct 2022 till [undecided]. But don't worry. It won't really affect the latter chapters... like after chapter 20 or something? I'm only going to do it for the first couple of chapters where I was still brand new at writing(still am a noob, btw) and wasn't sure what kind of protagonist I was trying to write. P.S.: Everything else except my MC's reactions and dialogues will stay the same. No changes in the actual plot or storyline!! I am actually fine with what I've created so far. :) P.P.S.: Also, rated it 5 starts, coz why not? XD I deserve it, lol. (Probably not, but I'm fine being a hypocrite or whatever!)
The novel takes heavy insperation from “The Conquerors Path” novel. The MC is meh. He is a dumb downed version of Austin and more immature. The System is one of those overly talking systems that has to much personality. The side characters have been okay so far.
TL;DR: 5/5 Story has great potential. And so far it's been great! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Okay, I may be biased since this novel came EXACTLY when I wanted a better version of "The conqueror's path" that I was reading at the time. I also must stay that it's not always nice comparing two things. But since the Author took, inspiration from the said novel and has given us A BETTER STORY with BETTER WRITING QUALITY, I'm just gonna go ahead and say this one is SO MUCH BETTER than that one. Now, on to the review~ Writing Quality: 5/5. I don't look for Shakespearean or other fancy English writers' level of English in a web novel. I want something readable and not too crazy. Something that doesn't read like a 3 year old's writing and has 15 mistakes in a 2 sentence long paragraph. And this is it. The writing is perfectly good for me. Barely any mistakes or typos, grammar is fine to me, and nothing unattractive in the writing style. At least for me. I'll be generous and give it a well-deserved 5 star in this section. Note: The conqueror's path lacked this a lot. That one had like 2/5 writing. :/ --- Story Development: 5/5. There's only been 20+ chapters with less than 50k words. The story is still in its youth stage. So, I can't say how it'll go on in the future, but till now I've had an enjoyable read. It's got humor, drama, some dark elements and a few other things. It's nothing ground breaking as far as plots and settings go, but I still really like the story. I definitely would want to read more of it. --- Character design: 4.5/5. 1. MC is decent. Nothing too crazy. He's your average 22 year old. But he doesn't come off as detestable or too pathetic. He's not a beta. But has yet to fully show his full Alpha side. He has his moments and sometimes he's okayish. But it doesn't ruin the story. I actually find it quite good for the story. 2. The side characters so far have been interesting. His mother, sisters and the head maid are the main side characters so far honestly, I like them all. They're all good and they do their part well. --- Update Stability: 5/5. Author posts 1 chapter/day. 1 or 2 chapters a day is never enough for a binge reader like me, but this is good enough for the author. It actually keeps me waiting for the new chapters and keeps the excitement going. Power of serialisation. I have no real complains here. --- World Background: 5/5. Honestly, there's not much of world building yet. The story, as I said, is still in its early phase. But from the synopsis and initial description of the world in the starting chapters, it seems quite interesting. I'm curious to see all kinds of races, places and things. --- Bonus: Lemon: This novel is supposed to have it, but there's none yet. Which is sad, but understandable. Author is focusing on initial world and character building and that's a good decision. I don't want premature seggs scenes with a living fleshbag with a name. I would like to know the characters. And with author's writing quality so far, I'm expecting something at least decent or good. Overall: I have rated it 5/5 for its potential and enjoyment. I'm so excited and interested to see where this story goes. With a good plot setting, like the novel it's inspired from, and with good writing quality, I can definitely see it gaining popularity. Keep it up, Author. I have high hopes for you. 👌🏻
very good [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
Been thinking I should update my review for a while, and in light of Author getting contracted, I thought now might be a good time. Too bad WN doesn't allow edits, so a new review it is. ~~~ Writing Quality: 5/5. Honestly, I have no complaints. Author is one of the few who actually cares to deliver good quality chapters that doesn't have tons of mistakes. You don't lose your brain cells reading the chapters. On the contrary, there's rarely any mistakes and it's 'very readable', (as he claimed in his Synopsis A/N.) ~~~ Story Development: 4.5/5 (~5/5) The start of the story was very similar to TFC, but Author changed a lot of things and didn't just copy paste stuff from there to his novel. I appreciate that. This story feels original (not as much in the concept, but in the way the story progresses and characters and relations develop). It's nothing ground breaking as far as stories goes, but I've had a TON of fun reading it. I enjoy it. For the genre of story this is, I was not expecting this good of a story. Also, I like how things are progressing. The change from initial SOL style to more adventure and mystery is nice. ~~~ Character Design: 4/5 MC: Again, as I said in my old review, MC isn't some crazy guy. He's your average 22 year old male with a hot blood. He initially comes off as a bit too hørñy, but the character development is noticeable. I have no complains there. Side Characters: I actually like how Author gives the POVs of side characters and we get to see how they feel about things. About MC's change initially to his [SPOILER ALERT!!!!] sudden disappearance(let's just say). His mother, sisters and even the maids seem to have a lively personality and aren't just mute background characters. I like reading their POVs. ~~~ Updating Stability: 5/5 You've been a bit slacking lately, Author. But I'll give you a break, since from the time I've started reading this novel(which was very early) your updates have been pretty frequent. I prefer daily updates, but it's okay if you can't make it for a day or two due to personal reasons. At least you don't stop for weeks or something. ~~~ World Background: 4/5 We're still in the early phases and the world is still pretty much a mystery. But I have liked the little tid tids you've shown us so far. I'm really hyped for that Adventure Arc. Let's go and explore the world and the various babes around the world! XD ~~~ BONUS: Lemon: 5/5. My, that first lemon was a treat! After two ç0$ç-bløçks, it was starting to get annoying, but you didn't disappoint me on the third one. Well done, Author. I'll give you a 5/5 for that juicy lemon. Enjoyment: 5/5. I do love reading this story. Even with its minor flaws and issues(that I can easily overlook), it's still somehow a really fun to read story for me. I am real interested in what kind of world you'll build. This is why I'll be generous and give you a 5-star and not 4 point whatever that I should be giving you. This isn't an objective review. It's a subjective one. ~~~ To author: You might be new to writing, but you're not bad at all. You're actually pretty decent as far as WN writers go. And I know you'll improve as you continue to write. So, keep it up. I'm supporting you wholeheartedly. (Until you decide it's okay to have NTR in the story. That's how you'll lose my support completely. BUT! Luckily, you said there will be no much thing here, so we're good. :) Keep up the good work, Author!) ~End of Essay~
First of all, this novel is good grammar-wise plus story-wise if taken individually but the author had compared it to a novel like TCP so I find it rather lacking. Most of the characters are from the TCP and only their names are different. I find the character of MC rather displeasing. He is very goofy and sometimes annoying. I like manipulative MC more than someone goofy. Writing quality is top tier. Maybe 5× better than The conquers path. Lastly, there's a lack of objective in this story it's just like a light read where MC is free to do anything and he chooses to form a harem of course😅 There are too many authors' notes that spoil the story so there is no suspension in the story. The author calls TCP cringe but this story is way more cringe than TCP and conversations between characters are somewhat awkward. Hopefully, the Author won't delete this because I gave my honest opinion on this story if the author hadn't mentioned anything about TCP this story would have been way better.

To fix the pacing of the story you will have to introduce more characters from other noble house also visit them. Also you need a vilian. Some issues with your proganist is that he is growing physically but not mentally. Also you have you have to give more foreshadowing of the main protagonists of the eroge. Also you need a foundation building time skip were he tries to gain foot hold in this new word.Also I see your not trying to make home to overpowered so you nerfing him.To fixed this give him potential skill which alone help build him into the character you want him to be. I enjoyed reading 👍👍👍
Until know i loved this story, good potential, interesting development and lovable characters. I not good with describe things, so, the message i wish to pass is, give it a chance and you won't repent yourself. Novel 10/10.
This Novel has very little spelling mistakes which I hope the author can keep up, as I see that most novels start degrading at a certain point, but I have faith in the author. Keep up the good work 👍
5/5. Moaaarrr~ [img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp][img=exp]

The story is going well so far. As for it's quality it would be a 5 🌟 rating for me. ............................................................................................................
Nice Novel Brother Hopefully Not DROPPED In Novel GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER AND Keep Spirit Brother Heheheh [img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
Initial review: Solid start. No complaints so far. Looking forward to what you do with this story. :) Will give a proper review later. Exp.
Unfortunately, I don't like this job. Especially because of the main character. He's an idiot and it's clear from the first chapters. He views girls as tools and not as personalities or a typical issekai hero. nothing new or eye-catching.
Good book author san. Even though the starting was similar to" TCP" it's completely unique in its own way like you said and don't get disheartened by the low reviews every now and then . overall it's a fking good novel with a lot of potential and so far loving it ☺️☺️☺️. so don't drop it👍👍👍
story is a waste. Characters are 2D, the hypocritical waffling of the MC is beyond annoying and the supposed lemons are less explicit then stuff I can see on TV. all in all this story is a complete waste of time.
Im not much for reviews but this book is really good the characters are really thought out and the mc don’t capture women in stupid nonsense ways and actually uses his brain. It’s not rushed at all and the author really puts in the time to make the book great to read.
As is the norm, I'll be rating it 5 stars, since I'm proud of what I have created so far. Hope you'll find it good as well. :) Don't forget to review and comment. You support is the only other thing that'll help me keep going, the first being my creativity.
