Our Review

The Setup

With Tristan freed, the two men of Nyarlea face their greatest challenge yet. The Defiled — terrifying corrupted beasts — are ripping through Shi Island’s crumbling cities, and the threat level has jumped significantly from the earlier volumes. Matt and Tristan must get their respective parties to work together, building the kind of battlefield trust that does not come easily when egos, fear, and competing personalities are in play.

Volume 3 marks a clear evolution point for the series. DoubleBlind shifts from the relatively lighthearted exploration of the first two books into darker, more dangerous territory. The catgirls are still charming, but the world around them has become genuinely threatening.

What Works

The Defiled encounters are the best action sequences in the series to date. DoubleBlind writes combat with a clarity and urgency that makes each battle feel consequential. These are not fodder monsters — they are genuine threats that force creative party tactics and real sacrifice. The tension ratchets up in ways that the earlier volumes only hinted at, and the sense of danger gives the LitRPG progression real weight.

The introduction of multiple POV characters is a smart structural evolution. Getting inside Tristan’s head provides a counterpoint to Matt’s perspective and reveals dimensions of the world that a single narrator could not access. The growing trust between Matt and Tristan adds a layer of emotional depth that elevates the story beyond its harem elements. Their partnership becomes the emotional backbone of Volume 3, and the stakes of their cooperation feel genuinely high.

The 4.70 average rating across the series reflects something real: DoubleBlind is getting better with each installment. The writing quality, already strong, continues to tighten. The character interactions feel more natural, the world-building more confident, and the balance between action and quiet moments more assured.

What Doesn’t

The shift to multiple POVs is the most polarizing decision DoubleBlind makes. Readers who fell in love with Matt’s singular voice in Volumes 1 and 2 may find the perspective shifts jarring or unwelcome. There is an intimacy to a single-POV narrative that multiple perspectives inherently sacrifice, and some fans will feel that loss keenly.

The stakes escalation also means less of the lighthearted humor that defined the early books. Volume 3 is darker, more serious, and more combat-heavy. If what drew you to the series was the charming slice-of-life interactions and comedic beats, this volume delivers fewer of those moments. The Defiled threat, while well-written, can become repetitive across extended combat sequences — there are only so many ways to describe fighting corrupted monsters before the encounters start blending together.

The Heat

Spice level remains at a 3 out of 5. The romantic elements continue to develop alongside the action escalation, but the focus has shifted decisively toward combat and survival in this volume. The intimate moments that do occur carry emotional resonance because the characters have been through genuine danger together. However, readers hoping the series would heat up significantly by Volume 3 will find the balance still tilted toward adventure and character development over explicit content.

Bottom Line

Everyone’s a Catgirl! Volume 3 represents the series growing up. The Defiled threat creates genuine tension, the multi-POV structure adds narrative complexity, and the Matt-Tristan partnership brings a new emotional dimension. The tradeoffs — less humor, less singular focus, more combat repetition — are the natural costs of escalation. If you have come this far with the series, Volume 3 will reward your investment with the most intense and emotionally rich entry yet. The catgirl harem framework continues to support one of the best-written isekai LitRPG series on Kindle Unlimited.
