Publisher's summary

A young woman must navigate the dangers of a strange new world filled with magic and mystery in this imaginative and highly detailed LitRPG adventure.

When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teen from the Denver suburbs. She definitely didn't expect to be transported to a magical alternate dimension, inhabited by monsters and presided over by a mysterious System. Here, people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens.

Grappling with the mechanics of the elusive System isn't the only challenge Alice faces. It seems an underground organization known as the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions. If they find out about Alice, they will stop at nothing to hunt her down and forcibly extract from her the secrets of her world.

Now, in addition to pursuing her own scientific endeavors, as well as learning to harness the magic that surrounds her, Alice must determine the Society's ultimate intention—and how she ended up here in first place. Before it's too late . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Surprisingly Good

A Small Town in Southern Illvaria is similar to Mother of Learning Arc 1 written in a traditional LitRPG format. Like The Wandering Inn series, it does not follow a traditional LitRPG hack and slash, I'm OP. Instead you have a girl who goes to bed and wakes up in a new world in the middle of nowhere and must navigate everything. She studies the magic system, and you start to learn the underpinning of magic. I enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to book 2.

What IS magic?

What is magic?

Could the System be a God?

Let’s use the scientific method to find out.

Very Entertaining

I did enjoy the the MC is consistent with the scientific mentality. its always frustrating when you have a MC thats supposed to be smart but is portrayed as otherwise.

I am interested in finding out more about this series. Am hoping this first book is just setting the foundation for the books to follow.

Slice of life litrpg

If you like slice of life stories with a little litrpg you’re going to like it. I’m excited to see book 2. I hope a little bit more action.

Write what you know???

Not 100% sure what the author is going for here. The mc has knowledge I would not ascribe to a 15 year old, but also has the same kind of mistaken knowledge level of high school at best.

She makes false statements of fact repeatedly that would better follow having finished high school. If they are intentional to match her level of education that’s one thing, but I get the feeling that’s not actually the intent of the author. Since the character will spend a long time expounding on false premises.

Other than that, it’s not bad, it’s also not really that good though.

It's a slow burn Cozy mystery

This is a sloper and cozy mystery it's a sort of book if you've read the wandering in series you'll like it's very much start with a lot of strings that have to be answered in the next book but it's entertaining just be aware that there is some leg in the story and a lot of scientific terms

Cant wait for the next one

Very long winded at points, but a great book and story. The whole perk and skill system is a bit weird though.

Great start to the series.

The details and the world building are well thought out. The MC motivations are realistic for a protagonist that is not interested in the life of an armed adventurer.

Intelligence

This book was a pleasant change of pace from my previous lit RPGs. I still got the action and suspense I've grown accustomed to, however the extensive analysis Alice conducted throughout her experiences was entertaining. I will for sure be getting the sequel!
