Plot Summary
A mind, a body, a soul defiled...
At least, those were the rumors. In your hands, you now held the truth: a paladin’s confession to a priest, a story of a warrior who entered a dungeon a champion and exited a demon, The Succubus’s Tale. The paladin wasn’t the first nor the last to be broken and transformed by that dungeon, but this story had been banned. Was it because of the hero's fall from grace? The domination and corruption of a man of the cloth? Or the dungeon’s power to twist the holiest into an epitome of sin.
The answers were here. You just had to dare to open it…
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on February 23, 2021
A search for knowledge beings a soul into contact with a book that tells the story of corruption, battle, and more. The words are of the past, but the question is, if the one tainted in still there, or with him as he turns the pages.
The work is a fantasy adventure with a very slow burn corruption of the main character towards being a succubus. Well written, save for a few quirks in the storytelling that almost took me out of the story several times. There are some erotic scenes, but they are part of the character’s succubus corruption and transformation, not really erotica with heat. The characters themselves have depth, at least the main ones do, some of the secondary characters are rather two-dimensional, being not much more than sword fodder to get to the next part of the transformation.
The succubus of the story, who really isn’t clearly named, and that’s a real shame, is of two aspects. One is telling a priest her story, the other is her past self in the story she tells. As the transformation progress, the present character becomes more obviously succubus in her voice and presence. When the climax of the story is told, and the present time succubus fully reveals herself, she’s very much a power of seduction and domination that works really well.
Three and a half out of five pitchforks.
This is one of a bare number of LitRPG works that I think works well. That’s mainly because there are no stats being referenced all of the time and when mention is made, it makes sense. It’s a shame that the series which was supposed to follow never happened, it’s intriguing and I wonder what might have come next if it had been.
