Publisher's summary

The future lies within our minds.

Paralyzed in a workplace accident, Lox's life is looking bleak. He can't even use the cutting-edge hardware that would allow him to play in the full-immersion-games that have become so popular. This all changes when he hears from New Universal Frontiers, the company with the best game out there: World of Magic.

They offer him the ability to use their hardware despite his injuries, but at a cost...he can never leave the game.

Once in the game world, Lox quickly realizes that there is a lot more to this new realm than just a game. Given a class that everyone thinks is useless due its inherent dangers, Lox begins a long and painful series of trials, some of them explosive, almost all of them dangerous as he masters his magical abilities.

As Lox explores the depths of this world's magic system, he soon discovers there is a lot more going on here than anyone ever expected.

World of Magic is a LitRPG/GameLit series that features leveling, advanced magic systems, dungeon crawling, world exploration, and much more. It's perfect for fans of books like Emerilia, World Tree, and Ascend Online.

I really want to continue

I really want to continue this series. the story is great. It's not the best series I've listened to, but I love the plot and characters. The only problem I have is with the narration. The narrator is very robotic with every character. If a character is excited or mad the voices get louder and if down trodden they get quiet, but there is no emotion. 3.5 for me but I'll round up.

Mixed feelings but good

At the start the skill tree was fine 3 or 4 skills to pick from
In the middle and near the end almost 10 skills
To pick from
I felt bad for the reader a few times
He had to read them back to back three times in a row so I just zone out during those part and they are long mins
I’m going to try book 2 and if the long skills options are read back to back I’m just going to stop and return it

Super good

This book was super awesome and I love the new world this author creates and I’ll be immediately going to see if there’s a second one yet and buying if there is.

I don’t know

So I tried multiple things to fix how this story plays. I adjusted the speed multiple times to try and smooth it out. I don’t think the story is bad. I think the narrator is a robotic with sentence structure and it hurts the story very badly in my opinion honestly it makes me want to stop listening to it. It’s not 100% of the time either and it’s bothersome to say the least. To a degree its like it was translated from another language. With all the negatives in place I just can’t recommend it to anyone I know personally.

Levi needs to fix mic

good book but narrator needs to fix his mic. you can hear white noise. every time he speaks.
other then that great book.

great book

just a lot of fun. you will love the cast and concepts you will enjoy the book

Great start to the series

This book is very well written. Getting to the character creation doesn’t take half the book as it does it some other stories and once the MC enters the WoM the story starts sprinting and doesn’t stop. There is a large focus on magic and how it works in the game which I really enjoyed but it is interwoven within the action and plot so that it doesn’t feel like an info dump as you learn along side the MC.

good story

really good story I definitely recommended. if I were to give one suggestion to improve the book would be to reduce a little bit of the stat reading.

Pretty good

This isn’t a book that will change your life, but it’s worth the credit if you like litrpg. This is a slightly original collection of completely unoriginal concepts. It’s like one of those tv shows that comes on after the evening news. You aren’t going to be on the edge of your seat, but you are still eating dinner so why not see what happens to what’s his name.

A lot of fun

I really love the start of the series. Fun, believable, and no stupid characters. Just all good writing fun
