>Any erotica written by a woman that isn't terrible and can be enjoyed by women and men alike?
Herald of Shalia. Truly hilarious piece of a story, it's an isekai harem erotica if you could believe it. Only a woman could write women this unhinged.

>The character interactions are interesting so far but I'm not far enough into the story for it to really kick off. They just met a secondary group who's trying to take their healer. I prefer solid characterization and banter writing to anything else though, so I'm cautiously optimistic after your post.

16 hours in and that's where you are? Damn, the tutorial must have been waaaaaay longer than I remember. It's hard to judge PH by its first book, or even the second as from what I've seen the amazon releases take two books just for the 'tutorial.' You've seen nothing of PH yet. Jake and Villy's banters are, like, half of what makes this story entertaining, but I think it only starts for real with book 2, thought I'm 90% sure they start talking in Book 1. Witty banter is one of PH's biggest strengths, if not the biggest.

>My #19 spot will go to a litRPG harem story then, god help me. Any other recommendations besides Dungeon Diving 101? If you could only recommend someone ONE litRPG harem story, what would it be?

Fuck, that's a tough one. There's Erogamer, but that story is fucking amazing and worthy of being called Literature, although calling it a harem is a stretch. But it's a web quest published on a Questionable Questing forum, so you are not going to read it. I'd definitely recommend it as an optional read. Aside of that, we have relatively small choice of quality LitRPG Harem:

[I've spent some time writing it, but eventually decided to just pick three different options.]

1. Dungeon Diving - A young man attends the academy for dungeon delvers. Definitely a decent book, distinct characters, entertaining story, a solid Bruce Sentar book that's the effect of him having 20+ books of experience. Nothing to write home about, though, but that might be me being somewhat tired with Harem stuff as of late. Considered to be something of a hit.

2.Prism Academy: Inferna - Solid post-apo super-hero story of a man strange past and ambition to make something of himself, being granted an opportunity to climb out of a slum and become a super-hero. The LitRPG element is diegetic, but it's strong enough to justify calling it LitRPG. A well-rounded story, that tackles the issue of sexuality more than just power fantasy. Story's some lassic conflict between Light powers (good, love, positive emotions) and Darkness powers (hate, malice, negative emotions). A slightly above-average fiction book that for some reason works out better than you would assume.

3. Herald of Shalia. Oh boy. Written by a woman, if you could belive it. It's not a serious book. One man. A village of horny and unhinged Elf women. Misunderstandings. Elves acting hysterical to get with a human stud. Women being women at their worst, in the way only a woman could write. Hilarious situations. Full-on harem erotica comedy. If you want a serious book with a serious thought-out story, this shouldn't be your pick. If you want fun and character-oriented light story, pick this.

Herald of Shalia perfectly encapsulates what you want

>I'd like to add The Amazon's Vengeance series by Sarah Hawke. First book is a bit weak, but I really like her writing style as she improves. It's unabashed smut and it doesn't pretend to be much else, and yet it keeps you interested in the plot
Oh Anon, those look extremely intriguing. Please recommend me more fantasy smut by female writers, I intended to delve into that for some time now. Myself I can recommend Herald of Shalia, another unabashed smut written by a woman, it's hilarious.

'Herald of Shalia' feels like a fever dream. After the dissapointment that was T.A.P, I wanted some actuall solid erotica, so this being recommened in a lot of places made me read it. I expected, like, some elf fucking with plot being there just for the book not be pure smut, but damn, I this was just...weird. Don't get me wrong, this book has a lot of elf fucking, but not like just fucking, ya know? The litrpg system is trash, the fighting scenes were entirely dull and boring, and honestly the book would be better without them.

The premise is that a human man is Isekaied(?) to a fantasy world by a Godess Shalia to help her followers. So he lands in a village of elves...where there aren't any males. And the elves are horny as fuck, downright begging the protagonist to fuck them. No bullshiting like other smut litrpgs attempt to, the guy wants to fuck and the elves want too. Except that in this world fucking with non-humans is considered degenrate, deviant. At the start of the book the author states that the point of the book is to 'have fun,' and it really seems like it was the intention, except for the fighting scenes.

In restrospect, a lot of weirdness is explained after learning the author is a woman. Yes, it's erotica litrpg that seems marketed towards men, yet written by a woman. It's kinda hilarious honestly, all the interaction between women, it seems kina authentic, their bickering, friendliness, pettiness (all the women call the most beautiful elf in the village an old, ugly hag because she's over 100 years old. Yes,s he's still hot as fuck and doesn't look a day over 25), it's really on point, even if the stuff with synchronized period was fake, science-wise as far as I know. Anyone familiar with female writers knows they have no restraints, they are degenerate as fuck. A male erotica writer questions himself anytime they would write anything even remotely non-standard and controversial, women? They go all in. This might genuinely be the first self-published erotica with anal and fisting that I read, that should speak for itself.

Honestly, I didn't find the sex int he story that titillating, the descriptions just didn't do it for me. I don't think the author is a good writer, even if the book is really comfy. It's just a typical very strong male protagonist, but one where the protagonist just wants to fuck, shamelessly. The later parts of the buck are especially hilarious, when he goes to a brothel and wants to fuck all the monster girls, ending up with dog-girl, cat-gril and bunny-girl, who also give an entire theatrical act about catgirl chasing and fucking the bunny. . It's just damn fun, and the orgy at the end is just fitting.

Even though I didn't like it too much, I'll probably read at least the second book to see how it progresses, just because of the sheer hilarity.

6/10, would read about lustful cock-craving elves on period again.

Imagine being a filthy degenerate who fucks elves, rabbits, dogs, cats and demons.
