Magical Engineering 1: Logic Gates

Magical Engineering, Book 1

By: B.T. Topia

Narrated by: Jay Aaseng

Breakfast was supposed to be quiet, simple even. Dave just wanted eggs.

Instead, he got a talking bird and a System that dragged Dave into another universe, and now he has a deadline. If he can't grow strong enough, fast enough, his home world won't survive.

This new reality runs on rules Dave doesn't know, and the System keeps pushing him into dangerous experiments he's not sure he'll live through. But engineering is engineering, even when the math is magical. With new allies and a lot of iteration, Dave will map the mechanics, uncover the mysteries, and discover their answers.

Whatever it takes to save his family and the world he left behind.

Because, even if he succeeds, it's only the beginning.

Magical Engineering is a numbers-forward progression fantasy where ingenuity beats prophecy, prestige paths matter, and the System always pushes you one experiment further.

well written

I'm always looking for a story that has a mature main character who does things that is not just naive about the world. in this book you get the mature main character who's learning about a new world and is actually going through it in a very intelligent manner. I would say this is one of my favorite books for 2025 and it is something I cannot wait for the next book to drop. as soon as it does, I'm getting it

Great concept

As an engineer, I found the premise of this book highly intriguing. It's well thought out with good characters. I wouldn't mind leaning into the nerdy engineering ideas in the next one. Great performance. I appreciate it when a narrator goes through the trouble to give each character their own voice. I will definitely listen to the next one.

Engaging Story with Minor Hiccups

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook! The story itself is captivating and well-crafted, which made it a delight to listen to overall. However, at the beginning, I found it a bit less engaging and not as immersive as I had hoped. As the book progressed, it definitely picked up and drew me in more. On the performance side, while the narrator was competent, I felt there was a certain monotone quality to the reading. This lack of emotional depth at times made it harder to connect with the characters, even though the overall experience was enjoyable. In summary, it’s a fantastic listen with just a few minor flaws.
