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.

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 Story

Love the flow and world building mechanics of this book. Easy to follow along and keeps you entertained with the banter between mc and side characters. Looking forward to next book.

Meh

Narrators terrible reading and authors wording and word choice made this a hard listen I had to check and make sure it wasn’t an AI narration, but it got me through the work day.

Sounds like it was written by a robot

I’m not going to finish this. It’s not exactly bad. If you want a ‘just ok’ litrpg then this is fine. What I can’t stand is that the writer almost never uses contractions when characters are speaking?! It’s always ‘can not, will not , we will, do not, would not’ and very rarely ‘can’t, won’t, we’ll, don’t’ this works for the AIs the PCs are interacting with but NOT for the PCs. Everyone sounds stiff, awkward and either like they are unfamiliar with English or are an AI themselves. Including the MC. Yanks me out of immersion ever conversation. I don’t understand why the writer chose to write like this. Not for me.

Amazin 😆

Book was all around good. for a good minute I was worried because this felt like a copy of the completionist chronicles, but it became its own as the story progressed. lookingnforward to the next one when it comes out on audible.


minor gripes

So the book had a couple points that were annoying. the narrator when talking about something will refer to it in every sentence, there was also some confusion in that at one point in the book when mentioning the age of a ship the characters give three separate numbers for something that was already established to be about 500 years old.

Not my cup of tea

I usually love litrpg and love the idea of the characters learning and breaking down rules of magic. however only got like 2 hours in and noticed inconsistencies in story that ruined my immersion, mc kept getting everything quickly, and happened to be amazing lucky at every turn.
