I liked it.

it was a solid book that held my interest from start to finish it might not be for everyone but I certainly hope people find it as enjoyable as I did.

Finally an actual portal fantasy without LitRPG elements

I’ve waited for so long to find an interesting and high quality portal fantasy that I thought it wont happen. But no, it is here. I absolutely love when MC is from our world gets into the one with magic.
Noah as an MC is great. He’s kind, smart and driven. And magic system in this book is very interesting. Some of its elements I would consider even unique. Which is pretty hard to accomplish.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves easy fantasy read

Awesome magic system. Easy to understand but full of possibilities.

loved everything in the story, world building extremely limited so far though, MC appears to have little interest in learning anything but magic so far in his new world.

Cool magic system

The rune magic system is cool and the characters aren’t bad. I liked the story and will definitely be getting the next book that being said I’m not hooked on the people.
I think my problem with them was just a lack of development. While there is a couple of personal growth moments they are all somewhat one dimensional. We know the MC was a teacher but little else. You actually know more about the demon than you do him.
He sucks at waiting and drops various wisdom bombs through out, but how or why? It just leaves me wondering.
Still damn good story and narration.

Amazing beginning

One of my favorite starts to a series. Both, the voice acting and the writing was amazing. the beginning is cringe because of the awkward situation. But, it just adds to the story.

I enjoyed the magic system

bit slow to start but enjoyable enough to listen in the background while driving to work

Fantastic story

Great storyline and appropriate pacing. Thank goodness the author didn’t fall into the bad habit of listing skills repeatedly to increase their word count like other progression fantasy novels tend to do.

Some strange choices but very good overall

Well written and narrated, will definitely pick up the next one. Characters are likeable and generally competent, world building is weak but it feels intentional for a slow reveal. Main complaint is the lack of isekai aspects other than the frame story. He uses almost no earth knowledge for magic or even really his training as a teacher (besides repeatedly mentioning his duty as a teacher). Doesn't even experiment much with his magic despite know it's flexible and intent based. Can control a wind element and only shoots wind blades with it... really? Feels like a miss in this type of story, but only a minor disappointment overall. Would recommend to anyone who likes the genre.

Great start

Like the magic system, and story telling is good. MC with “ Memory “ loss allows us as readers to learn everything with him without it being thrown into our faces.

Fresh LitRpg Approach

Fresh LitRpg story with a different entry into the genre than most and a very different take on a magical university. Interesting and likable characters and, again, some new and less traveled approaches to various character tropes. Excellent work by the narrator here on the audible version as well. Really want to see the sequels on Audible as well.
