Minute Mage

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Reg Rome

Narrado por: Brian Wiggins

When you steal Time Magic, prepare to run for eternity …

Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day.

Fail a challenge? Say something dumb? He can get a redo as long as he acts fast.

And every time he levels up, he can go back a little further.

But, even with his growing power, Arlan has never been in more danger. He was left stranded in the middle of a monster-infested forest, nobody to rely on but himself as he fights to build strength.

And his time magic wasn't given to him freely.

He stole it.

And its original owners would go to any lengths to take it back.

Don't miss the start of a new LitRPG adventure filled with time magic, three-dimensional characters, a crunchy LitRPG system, tactical combat, and power progression where level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters’ abilities.

Great performance

I really didn’t care for the main character to much but the devil kinda got me hooked

great

I really like this it's a fresh take on time travel. I normally don't like time traveling but this surprised me I recommend this book

The MC is a forgetful idiot

The mc forgets very important things, and delays the use of their power for way to long. The build up to level 10 falls flat after the MC not only forgets about a talent they specifically singled out at level 5 but also hesitates to “use” till they are literally at deaths door. This almost made me refund the book. The narration absolutely saves this book as it is phenomenal, power system is also great. But the MC is the worst part of this story. Pick this one up on sale.

good story, just needs lots of refinement

let me start by saying, i liked the story. it was fun if slow and though it lacked good combat flow, it was easy to picture and follow. the MC isn't the most likeable and seems rather limited in personality. As a gamer myself, I enjoyed the mechanics of leveling spells with use, on top of the characters leveling.
Now for the bad. The demon names made me want to stop reading this book. It's like when a child tries to make up words in another language and it made me cringe every single time, and for some god awful reason, the author decides to make it a key point in Demons interactions with each other so the horrible thing keeps repeating. it was seriously one of the worst things I ever come across in a book. Then there was the excessive inner dialogue and exaggerated confusion on so many different things by the MC. I feel like the author just needs more people to read the rough draft and provide feedback for him, because as I said, I really did like the story. all in all, it's worth the read and I'm looking forward to seeing the authors improvement in future books.

Well-written

I almost didn't buy this book because of the few reviews and because the author was college-aged. Turned out that I don't have any complaints about the writing; it's quite a cut above most in this genre. The MC is cheerful, optimistic, and funny, but also refuses to be manipulated by others, which is refreshing.

But my fondness for the book waned after about 2/3rd of the way through. The excessive internal monologuing of the MC started getting irritating and if, this had been physical book, I would have started skimming. There really wasn't much chemistry between the MC and his two-dimensional female sidekick, so it was hard to find plausible the budding romance. And, most importantly, I didn't like the chapters from the perspectives of the bad guys, which featured a lot of murder and torture of relatively innocent people. The one interesting minor character, whom the author seemed to be setting up to play a larger role in the future, was casually murdered by a demon, so that was a missed opportunity.

So, while the author clearly has talent, I'd like to see him construct more than one likeable character, spend more time on good dialog instead of internal thoughts, and give our characters the ability to stop evil rather than letting it run amok.
