Publisher's summary

I was just a normal guy making his way in the big city—until I found myself transported to another world to train at the Alpha Warlock Academy.

Not only do they want me among their ranks, but they want me to train among the most powerful of warlocks at the Academy.

I've got a lot on my plate: cramming spells, training for combat, and trying not to get myself killed during my initial challenges. Fortunately, I've also got plenty of friends to help me out, including my hobgoblin neighbor and the smooth-talking genie across the hall. And as an exceptionally powerful warlock, let's just say that more than one of the Academy's beautiful members has her eyes on me.

As an Alpha Warlock, I'm also bound to a super-powerful artifact. And this weird object? It keeps making strange sounds, even though nobody else's does. And the energy contained inside? I'm about to find out just how powerful it really is…

Alpha Warlock Academy features violence, bad language, undefined relationships, and explicit sexuality.

Wth

Honestly, that story had no right being as good as it was. I got this as a little filler to kill time while waiting for one of my other series to come out with something. I wasn't expecting the story to be so engaging. Without any spoilers, the story is basically Harry Potter but if hogwarts were a university. The story stuck to the basics, didn't try to over reach and stayed in a reasonable lane. There is no ridiculous "I'm immediately a God lvl threat and I'm humble and magnanimous, so I'm basically my own worst enemy." There's actually character AND story development here. Great first book, most likely getting the 2nd when it comes out.

Light hearted and fun adventure

This is a fun and light hearted story about a guy who gets pulled into an alternate universe and as a result joins some training academy and has some cool adventures

Another great book

Main character is believable and not a bumbling idiot. Realistic relationships between characters. I’m probably going to pick up more books by the author now

It was good, kinda basic

It was an OK isikai didn't break the mold. the relationships are all kinds weak and the girls are forgettable. ill read the next book at some point but it definitely isn't a re-read book.

Great first book

I really enjoyed this book. It has all the best elements of an Academy book without going too far in the first installment. Surprise, surprise, the story actually takes place in the Academy itself. The MC is confident, but not arrogant, and the women around him are actually intelligent.
Looking forward to Book 2.

Send it

Noah hit all the marks for this genre, the narrative performance was incredible and the story was new and exciting. Worth it!

Great Voice Acting and interesting story

rather liked the story, got dry in some parts but picked back up rather quickly.

👍

I found this book a very good balance and the fact that it doesn’t mind skipping time through boring subjects.

Easily Forgettable

So I did listen to this to this all the way through even though it was a bit of a struggle. It wasn't fantastic but wasn't terrible. It just easily forgettable.

Meh

I don't really know what the genre it is going for but it misses out on a lot of the basics of all of them. there's magic but no system to speak of, no basics of how it works and how one gets better. The sci-fi elements are just there for flavor everything is just like earth except there is teleportation for transit (there's coffee, emojis, same turns of phrase except once in the beginning that is never followed up on). If you want a lot of smut this isn't it just enough to entice a few people by having it. I ended up skipping the latter parts to try to see if there was going to be a overarching narrative at any point... He wants to let his friend know he's not dead but makes no effort to do so. The whole thing feels rushed like driving through downtown at 80 mph and being expected to have a nuanced opinion on how the resteraunt scene is. You know it's there, maybe even the relative class of the area but otherwise not even enough to decide if you would like anything or not.
