Having evolved to C-grade successfully, Jake is ready to enter the most well-known World Wonder in the entire multiverse to get some sweet levels under his belt. However, Nevermore is far more than just an immense dungeon to power up in. It’s a competition where newly evolved C-grades compete on Leaderboards to prove themselves in front of the entire multiverse. Geniuses from every universe and faction appear, all of them vying for the top spot and to prove themselves the very best, like no one ever was.

A Pillar within the Genre
Reviewed: 11-10-24
Frankly, it's rare when I clip a section of audio for the correlation/allegory therein, but goddamn if that wasn't some good writing that I certainly clipped.
The short and sweet, this was an excellent tenth installment that any fan reaching this far into the story would enjoy.
My more in-depth opinion highlights how well the author disperses power-ups among main/side characters in not only imaginative ways, but in a fashion that allows for a believably complex multiverse involving power structures equally complex to our own.
Good job!

She and her assistant, Caz, a magically sentient spider plant, have spent the last eleven years sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite. But when a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz save as many books as they can carry and flee to a faraway island Kiela was sure she’d never return to: her childhood home.

A Plot Well Maintained, Slice-of-life done right
Reviewed: 08-01-24
We're all aware of some recent fantasy title releases that have lacked polish. That isn't the case here; we've got ourselves a complete package deal.
The plot doesn't wander off into a tangent, and we've got a storyline that feels organic. Whether it be romantic dialogue or characterizations of sentient plants, it all felt natural - pun intended.
Give this one a try. The how's of magic don't necessarily take center stage, but the end result would attract the attention of any respectable librarian... plants included.
10/10

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs. In fact, he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that's a good time.

The animals and surrounding cast really take the cake. all are developed with individuality which coincides with the novel's style. One of the best reads this year.

The Goddess Samantha, new domains of deific influence primed for the world below, charges ahead to kindle the fires of a new order. Questions of her true origins and significance abound, but the path forward is the same as it is for any mortal: one foot in front of the other. Buried in the dirt is the call of risk, reward, and sacrifice. Time to dig deep, baby.

Good but Thirsty
Reviewed: 04-04-24
I enjoyed the story even though I think the plot has drifted in a more romance genre direction. The romantic development felt literally forced by fate which felt awkward for all characters and readers involved. Its ultimately fine, but when the book zeros in on romance counter to the first book's feel, the payout better be a slam dunk. It wasn't this time.

Becoming a knockoff Dracula in tight leather pants was never part of Vincent’s plans. Neither was being summoned to another world by a cult of vampire wannabes. But both happened. Now, Vincent’s left to pick up the tattered pieces of his humanity as he tries to grow strong enough to keep his family safe. The world is filled with nightmares, and the looming threat of losing his soul stands between his goal and his reality, so it’s not like it will be too hard or anything. Hell should tremble. A good man is going to war.

Vampires Are Cool Again

If you're looking for a story with realistic consequences, this may not be for you. Regardless, the story rocks, the humor is on point, and I enjoyed the mockery of harems as ridiculous in general. This is an easy recommendation.

A LitRPG with a Goal
Reviewed: 06-08-22
There's a ton of works in the genre centered around world building or saving the world. Steamforged Sorcery takes a more traditional approach with an escort plotline that doesn't deviate for silly reasons. Actus sticks to the plan and delivers a solid book with a fun magic system. Give it a go if you're tired of the standard fare.
