These Heroines Are So High Maintenance

By: Virgil Knightley

Narrated by: Rebecca Woods

The portals have opened, and the Demon King is coming to Earth. In... twenty years.

Josh Becker was once pretty average. That was until he won the Gigaball Lottery and got hundreds of millions of dollars (after tax). No, wait. He was still pretty average at heart even after that. It was when the portals started arriving in his backyard and he had to kill monsters every night when he started to become more of a special guy.

Now armed with some kind of video-gamey "System", Josh is minding his own business, making sure to deal with the portals and the threats they send each and every night. But one night, a new bonus portal arrives, and an elven warrior princess in dubious-looking armor strolls out. And that's when things get weird.

Princess Elysia has come to Earth from Antheria, bearing the grim news that she and Josh will have to fight alongside her comrades, the Hero's Party, to defeat the Demon King known as Black Lazarus... but when she checks her Chronos Crystal, she realizes that battle isn't scheduled for another twenty years.

So that's awkward.

These Heroines Are So High Maintenance is a spicy, slice of life, plot-averse story about a man and the demanding reverse-isekaied fantasy women who make his life more interesting. Listening to it will definitely not make you a better person, but it will make you cooler. So what are you waiting for?

One of his best

Let’s see… Easy thing to say is if you like other similar books like Solar Dragons or Coven King you’ll probably love this. At first I was skeptical about the choice for a solo female narration but I gotta say, Rebecca’s performance is every bit as good as Alyssa Poon’s solo stuff and maybe better than Jessica Threet (who is also a goddess narrator). Lots of fun. I’m particularly interested in seeing how the final chapter’s new character affects things in book 2.

Excellent Beginning

Very well written and a great start to a series. Ended on a slight cliffhangar, but should be a great start to the next book. Check this series out if you are reading this.

comical

I got it on the spur of the moment and was pleasantly surprised. Rebecca Woods did great and is a new favorite of mine. It's worth the time.

wacky, fun and addictive

Virgil simply out did himself with this book, it's a fun, laughable story of a lottery winner who found out he's also the future hero. And his party is compromised of 3 extremely needy high maintenance gorgeous women, 3 women who cannot physically or socially blend into normal society, which is an issue because they arrived 20 years early!! overall a truly fun and interesting story. the voice acting is great and the characters are wonderful, with Porsche being my favorite. Truly a job well done by all excitedly awaiting the next in this series.

Very entertaining

Very amusing, better than I expected and not a boring moment. Pity I'll have to wait for volume 2 now
