Wayward: Fighting: An Isekai LitRPG

Wayward, Book 2

By: T. A. Star

Narrated by: Hannah Church

A teen transported to a world of magic and mayhem must navigate new alliances, strange abilities, and found family in the second book of this LitRPG series.

One wouldn't think that getting magically whisked away to a new world would make someone suddenly feel at home, but that's exactly what being transported to Makera has done for Phoenix Fraser. Gone are the ailments that kept her bedridden, the body that didn't fit her soul, and the endless loneliness. Reborn are her strength, passion, and hopes of building the community she never knew she needed.

But while the burdens of Phoenix's old life have been lifted, that doesn't mean her new existence is without its struggles. As bonds with her adventuring party and mentor grow, so too does the weight of her secrets.

The more Phoenix reveals about her true abilities, the more she could put those she's come to care about in danger. Because there are those who would do anything to stop Phoenix from reaching her full potential—even if it means destroying all of Makera to get what they want . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

A gripping story, lovable characters

Very good pacing, and all the characters are based in such reality that you can actually believe the actions that they would take and and the ending amazing can’t wait for the next.

Really liking the series, I’ve no complaints. You can very much tell the author is a fan of isekai/lit rpg, which makes it even better to me!!

Really struggling to finish this

I’m about 60% through and there is an exciting event that has been on the horizon of the story for the past few hours of listening, while the main characters just go through conversation after conversation about their feelings, and their past trauma, and their relationship dynamics, and their love troubles. These have been mentioned already and now it’s just being rehashed. It’s really a slog but I’m still listening in small increments to try to just get through this fluff.

The story and world are really interesting and I just want stuff to happen. I want the plot to progress. I want the MC to stop pausing while fighting bandits to consider the ethics of killing another person, so that she is distracted and gets stabbed by the person actively trying to murder her. Like come on.

Adore this narrator

I could listen to her to tell me anything! I love her vibe and she improves the entire story, which is already fantastic!

Story is serviceable but protaganist is poorly chosen.

Terrible choice in protagsnist and poor character development of them does not respect listeners time. I pushed through the fiest book but i am stopping halfway through this title. Skip this series.
