Publisher's summary

The saga of Nate the cheat potion maker continues!

My place in this world slowly reveals itself to me. Unfortunately, I’m constantly reminded just how magicians truly screwed this place up. The Lord Ruler serves as one of the kingdom’s major problems, though there could be more to it.

Tasks: rank up the shop and town, adapt to my ever-increasing strength, and hey, there are foes that are seriously strong out there.

So many things happen in my growing tale this time around. Sit. I shall continue....

Novel contains: strong MC in a slice-of-life environment, dungeon diving, boss battles, cultivation and elements, mana/magic, MC exclusive system (but it doesn't do the work for him), treasures, adventurers, slow world building, build-up, features that will not be introduced all at once (upgrades), actual good loot at the end of very powerful bosses, and romance (no harem). As characters develop throughout the series, issues and emotions and even the MC may find himself in a corner or two. A story of an upcoming potion shopkeeper and his apprentices.

Building an S-ranked Potion Shop is easier said than done....

Great Series Continuation

This is a great story and has been a great story from the beginning. I would highly recommend it to any who are a fan of the genre. If I had anything bad to say about this book its the length of the book. I think this book could have easily been split into two books, but that's just my opinion. There was a huge amount of story progression in this book. I am excited to see where book four goes from here.

Another fantastic narration performance by Matt Hicks and Allie Piper.

Keeps getting better

If what got you interested in this book series was the characters progressing and our hero defying the snarky system? That continues with this book.

I enjoyed book 1 and, although book 2 wasn’t my favorite, it still progressed the story positively.

Book 3 feels like things are progressing at a faster pace, which is an improvement compared to book 2.

So if you like an Anti-Isekai trope type of progression story, then this series is it.

Additionally, having great multi-gender voice actors really enhances the experience. I hope this series continues!

Good addition to story but not much progression

Another good entry into the story but this one is quite slow. There is not much progression in the story, just a few big fights and a lot of new items/toys from Wanda.

Another great addition to the RotCPM series!

Alvin Atwater continues the Rise of the Cheat Potion Maker series with an amazing book 3! I absolutely love the progression of the main character and all of the supporting characters. The story is fun and I laughed out loud many a time. The story and plot continue to move at a good pace. I look forward to the next book in the series and anything else Alvin Atwater has in store for us! Audio Version: Matt Hicks and Allie Piper continue to bring this story and series to life. Absolutely love their narration and character voices.

The party grows. The challenges too.

I soooooooo friggin love Nate! He is bound and determined to NOT get forced into being the hero. That's okay though, because his awesome potion making saves the day more often than the hero's party.

Another good anime story

The story is heating up with Nate our potion maker getting forced from the system and stupid Nobles to continue to take a greater stand in the world and all he want to do is chill with his Dog and Wife to be also the cat
