Publisher's summary

The humans call me Nemon Fargus. They call me wizard, and [Elementalist] and [Enchanter]. They call me teacher. They call me adventurer.

But I don't care. Not anymore.

For more than 150 years I've served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four kings and a queen. Two wars and a rebellion. I've founded and taught at a magic school. I've fought against beast waves and dungeon breaks.

But now? Now, the one close friend I had left has passed. So, I'm done with their politics and their economics. The short and busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf.

Now, I'm looking for a refuge, a place that can well and truly be my own. Away from the growing cities and the bustling markets, away from the pointless wars, away from the eager students and the arrogant adventurers.

I'm seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance my spellcraft.... We'll see if that happens.

Experience the start of a LitRPG epic from Gregory Allanther, the best-selling author of An Old Man's Journey.

easy listen

low stress listen, great for relaxing. light on numbers and stats for gamelit, OP MC, decent dialogue

Review

I have to say I really enjoy this audible book. the story was very interesting and a unique look from the perspective of someone who had already lived the adventure life and just focusing on something that they would rather wanted to do than trying to save the world. This audiobook is not going to be for everyone. But for me, it was a great lesson enjoyed the narrator and looking forward to the next installment.

love

this was an absolute great story I can't wait for book two or three I don't know I'm going to look up the series I may have to read them but I would rather wait for the audiobook

The MC is not that impressive

The MC is a complete and utter doormat to the kingdom. Yes we learn why but I bet it still doesn’t change in the next book.

This was interesting

This was a interesting book, while the over all story was good and had some fun aspects, the book left me feeling more like this was a prequel and or the book should have been longer. You don't really get to the heart of the story or shall I say the overall plot and what will lead to book 2 until the last few hrs and while I understand why the book ended where it did it just felt off. Keep in mind I'm not saying this as a bad thing it just felt off.

All that being said I look forward to book two and seeing what happens next.

can't wait for the second book

this book was really good. the voice actors did a really good job too. the end of the book left on a good cliff hanger so I hope the next book comes out soon.

Gregory Allanther puts a unique flair on litRPG's.

After reading Old Man's Journey another gamelit novel by Gregory Allanther I really wasn't sure what to expect from Wizard's Tower, however I knew that it'd be unique! And I wasn't wrong...
This story's about another grumpy old man Nemon Fargus a half elf, who wants to retire from it all. From his life as a teacher, mentor, benefactor, and an adventurer! His goal is to find an outta the way Tower and continue his own studies and experimentation. But, alas life gets in the way! So he finds himself torn from being grumpy to nurturing... And you can't help but like Nemon Fargus. And yes, there's still monster waves to stop!
You're definitely gonna want to add this to your library. Although the action takes the back seat, the book is smartly written and really interesting!
This happens to be the third production I've heard from Soundbooth Theater and I want to say they have Dynamite productions. The narration is done by Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, and Andrea Parsneau... and that's what I call a great combination of voice performers!

chapter 28

chapter 28 repeats. overall well written and narrated. A little slow paced Mc is overpowered.

Great performance, good story

I see a few negative reviews and understand that many men enjoy constant fighting, but I really like the characters. This story has a lot of fun characters! The MC is not old at all, and the story is one that town builder types will enjoy. It is well worth the credit. I wish number 2 was ready!

Great Story

This story has a slow start, but once it gets going this story is very interesting.
