This wasn't bad. Interesting use of culture shock, I thought it well done.

Basically, US soldier gets isekai'd to fight against invaders. You can feel the hatred the author has for muslims, even though there are barely any in it; it's pretty funny. The religion in the other world is completely repugnant (if you are a normalfag like me who wouldn't participate in orgies), but it's treated fairly, as in the author doesn't condone nor condemn it and it is not something completely surreal that breaks suspension of disbelief. And, if you are going to build another world, I say go all out and forget our taboos, instead of a "middle ages mentality except all women must use gloves".

The second book isn't as good as the first, lots of interludes about army training while the main characters are in a month long sea voyage. I skipped most of those and I doubt I missed much. The rest of the book is interesting, though, and an important character of the first book gets developed and redeemed, which makes me feel sorry for her, she was such a shitty character in the first book and now that she's better all that awaits her is centuries of suffering.

The third book was supposed to come out at the end of last year, so, if the author didn't die, it's coming out anytime now.
