Isekai Magus

A LitRPG Progression Saga (The Fantasy World of Nordan, Book 1)

By: Han Yang

Narrated by: Landon Reid, Erin Bateman, Marissa Parness, Alex Perone

Damien was a simple man, cruising on the highway of life. A goddess of temptation lures him into a deal he scoffs at. To him, superstition is for the foolish. Small problem: she's real, her ritual works, and Damien is magically teleported into a strange new realm.

He awakens in Nordan, a land of myth and magic. A realm where humans battle legendary creatures for the amusement of the gods. In a war between man and myth. Damien's powers set him above the rest, a lord of life and death—enemy of all. Stranded, but not alone, will he perish, or conquer his way home?

Talk about for your credit!

Long book with character growth and so much more. Even after all these hours of listening, you are still learning new things about the system, the world and more. Definitely worth the credit.

Fantastic!

Absolutely epic storyline and storytelling. MC is a man with dark powers yet remains true to his heart and upbringing.

Good progression of characters

Recommended this on Facebook LitRPG group and this did not disappoint. Good story progression, only complaint is the pronunciation of a “wyvern”

very slow

the book has a lot of interesting elements. the main problem I find with the story is that death is too trivial. with the ability to being people back, and the lack of seriousness around the effect of deaths, the stakes are to low. I can understand a society where the gods have created a system where people can exchange a magical currency that allows the to extend thier life or rank up, and the only source of that currency is from killing, but the depth of how twisted that can be doesn't reflect well in the story.

the result is that when events start happening, the threats are not as real. secondly, the male MC voice is to flat. the female narrator makings all the women seem bubbly and happy all the time, even as the mc necromancer uses magic which summons spectral ghouls that strip flesh from the dead. both narrators exasperate the writing where such magic seem as emotional mundane as sweeping the floor, yet the necromancer is one of the most rare and powerful classes. the is just is no explanation to how people can become numb to such things as if it were beyond normal. I honestly had to peace meal this book just to have the mental energy to keep going.

Love the world

I love this world and I can’t wait for more the beginning kinda lagged for me but once it got going I couldn’t stop more please
