An Education in Magical Affairs: An Isekai LitRPG

I'm Not the Hero, Book 3

De: SourpatchHero

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

A zero-turned-hero continues his action-packed journey to greatness through a world of magic and mayhem in this exciting LitRPG fantasy series.

On Earth, the scrawny Orrin may have been a big nothing, but he had a bigger buddy in his athletic bestie, Daniel. They were inseparable, like two sides of the same coin. But when a tragic accident transported them to an RPG-like reality, that coin got seriously flipped.

At first, Daniel was the natural-born hero, and Orrin the dead weight. But Orrin found himself growing beyond the role of sidekick, gaining powers no one had ever heard of. Genuine hero stuff.

Alas, trying to be a hero is how he ended up a prisoner of the ruler of Odrana, and his even more conniving mother, Anabella, who sees potential in Orrin as a political pawn. All Orrin has to do to gain his freedom is infiltrate an elite magical academy, make friends with some very influential students, and help maneuver Anabella back into power.

Unfortunately, school in this realm is pretty much the same as school on Earth—albeit with less bullying and more attempted murder. Now, Orrin's only hope is for Daniel to somehow find him and do what he does best: Save Orrin's ass.

The third volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

one of the best Litrpgs out right now.

buy this series it's fantastic. You could never go wrong with Nick podell. the three books so far never have a dull point. 10/10

Great story, but...

I liked 3rd book alot. But O really needs an actual love interest, one that will tell him that he doesn't need to be costly think of how his friend would do things or how he would think when, O himself is clearly capable of doing and figuring out how to do things without his friends help all the time. In my opinion the girl that he was supposed to befriend would have been a goof pick, but I don't think she was wrote for that. Just hope something comes for him like that.

Still has me hooked!

I thoroughly enjoyed this new addition to the series! The only downside is that I still have to wait for the next book haha. Although I am sure it will be worth the wait.

One of my favorite stories!!

The pain is real waiting for the next book, but each book hasn’t disappointed, love the concept and the characters, look forward to what happens next!!

Awesome!

Absolutely love this book! Thanks for your hard work, can’t wait for the next one!

Top rated

I’d rate this series in my top 5 in LitRPG. It’s an engaging storyline with characters that you can relate to.

buenazo!!

Good but a little weak

It’s a good addition to the series but it’s light on actual plot, but the characters are still just as good as previous titles:

Way of Water

Another great story, but if he does not sit down and invest time in learning the way of the water, I am going to scream.

Amazing Book

Loved the banter and plot. Amazing all around. Wished there was a bit more lasting consequences for doing the right thing when solving problems but still a great book! I wish the audio book wouldn’t switch up voices on skills and what not, I feel like they did this to make it feel like a videogame or something but it really just disengages me and makes it harder to stay immersed in the story; also, it sounds annoying.
