Publisher's summary

Create lycanthropes. Give them elemental powers. Save the world.

Jerrell Hawkins has a plan. He’s going to marry Nadine Hartwell, study magic at University, and serve his kingdom in the ongoing war in the prestigious Orichalcum Company led by the hero of the realm. To do this, he needs to obtain a Class. When his plan to create a new, powerful spellcasting class fails, he fears all is lost. Then an enemy sleeper agent burns down his world and Nadine is infected with lycanthropy.

But Jerrell’s pursuit of a new Class leaves him with strange, controversial abilities. He can create and bond lycanthropes. What’s more, he’s learning to use elemental magic. Along with Nadine, now his bonded companion, he enlists in the military to enact vengeance for the destruction of their home.

Their enemies are numerous, their abilities make their allies uncomfortable, and nothing is simple. Not even the fate of the world, which just might rest on Jerrell Hawkins’ shoulders.

please please please speak American English

Storyline not to bad. But the inability to read the words in American English is so annoying. The sexual context is at the 12 year old level. I didn't finish.

not your typical litrpg book

I really enjoyed the book when it started I thought it was just a good fantasy book but it turned out to be so much more. I deeply wish I had the next book in the series to listen to I will be on the hunt for more by this Author.

I want more

ok. so first let me say that yes this does start out a little slow. But when it gets going BABBBYYY. HONESTLY IM JUST WAITING FOR MORE!!!!! I WANT MORE!!!!!

good harem gamelit

I don't like harem or sex in my novels but this one is so good that I could overlook it. The system is wonderfully unique

princess of Mars 10 out of 10

this is a great book and it reference princess of Mars super cool and love it

Well written, but not for me.

I enjoyed the story and the uniqueness of the system. I am a sucker for unique magic or game systems, since it makes it easier to have a character have non-standard progression that feels realistic. The plot isnt bad either.

What made me struggle with rating this story, was the fact that nowhere in the description does it mention that there is a harem (which is generally not my cup of tea) nor does it mention that there are explicit chapters with the harem. Honestly, if it wasnt for the explicit chapters, I'd still not fully like the relationship progression, but I can deal with that.

Please, if you're going to include explicit scenes, please make a note in the description. The people who dont mind that sort of thing will still want to read it, but the people who dont want it, or are on the fence would really appreciate a warning.

Full disclosure, I received a free review copy,

amazing but missing chapter 40

its amazing and flows well but is missing chapter 40 so I'd be ready for that till they fix it.

A well written and unapologetic monster girl harem

That was a great listen. Real surprise hit for me. I'm very grateful the story was more Lit than RPG. The plot really evolved as the book went on and I'm pretty damn excited to see what the author has in store for us next.

epic high fantasy gamelit!

Great story and narration!

Nathan's dream is to become a war mage. However he is trying to pioneer a new pattern (group of magic abilities that gives a mage their power). With his crush by his side and a pack of werewolves at his heels his world is about to change.

Rafe does a fantastic job of the narration, and really brings this story to life!

I loved the story and can't wait to find out what happens next!

Loved it

Fantastic audiobook, I found it very engaging with an interesting twist. Would definitely recommend this book to fans of litrpg.
