It is basically a daily journal of the main character's time at the magic academy, and being a super dedicated student is just not very exciting. The magic system isn't revolutionary - just a typical cultivation system from xianxia stories - but it is coherent and makes sense. using "drug" instead of "dragged"), but on the whole the editing is to be commended. A few minor typos, and some strange word choices that I suspect are a result of the author's dialect (e.g. The good: the grammar and formatting is quite good for a self-published novel. The story doesn't make any real effort to get away from the tropes of the genre, so if you're familiar with stories like this you can predict how the plot goes. The premise is pretty standard for isekai stories: guy gets hit by a truck and then reincarnates in a different body as the "chosen one" of his new world. This isn't awful for a first effort from a new author, but there is significant room for improvement. Where do I fit in this world, and how am I going to be key to saving it?. I discovered that I had immense innate talent in Aether Gathering, and was offered a scholarship to attend Azyl Academy, the city's premier institution. His family took me in, and I recovered from his sickness before learning about magic, or Aether as they called it. Unfortunately, unlike many isekai novels I've read, I retained none of his memories, and had to learn everything. I woke up in the body of Kupiec Aiden, in a world where magic was real. This wasn't the end, though, as a deity chose me to save another world. Just one semester until graduation, and I died saving a little girl. Unfortunately, unlike many isekai novels I've read, I retained none of his memories, and had "You have chosen and been chosen. Grow stronger and save my world." Just one semester until graduation, and I died saving a little girl. Now go to page 45 and face your nemesis."You have chosen and been chosen. With its maps, notes, art and photographs it's not just a celebration but a fascinating resource." - SFX “How many thousands of heroes did these books create? And how many lost their lives with a bad roll of the dice? A publishing phenomenon, without which computer games wouldn't be what they are today. 5 stars!" - SCIFI Now “The most comprehensive history of the Fighting Fantasy phenomenon I've ever seen. “YOU ARE THE HERO is as read-under-the-covers immersive as its subject matter great characters, amazing stories and a surprise behind every door. Best viewed on a colour screen of 7" upwards, as a daily reader to keep your precious hardback safe. This is a fixed format PDF eBook, with all of the same stunning, full-colour artwork as the hardback and paperback. Written by Jonathan Green (author of seven Fighting Fantasy titles), this mighty tome will appeal to anyone who ever wiled away a washed-out summer holiday with only two dice, a pencil, and an eraser for company. Part history, part celebration, YOU ARE THE HERO chronicles more than three decades of Fighting Fantasy. But when Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone sat down to write The Warlock of Firetop Mountain they had no idea this one book would go on to spawn another eighty or more titles, and have an immeasurable impact on a generation of children growing up in the 1980s. It just doesn't make sense to me (coming from someone who is sure to keep contact with guildmates long after we've left a game behind)įighting Fantasy gamebooks have sold over 17 million books worldwide, in over 30 languages. One of the more notable points is her mentioning her old guildmates were like family in this book, but she insisted on cutting ties with them upon the shutdown of Avatharn (in the last book), and when faced with the opportunity to come back together with them, she is ridiculously reluctant. I get she didn't have a good upbringing, but there are some things she does that feel a little extreme. My only gripe with Devon's character building, is her issue with people. Really draws you into the story as a whole and makes you want to know more. We get a lot more insight on NPCs and "Starborn" as well as seeing more of Veia's fun and quirky personality. There's great character development for this one, and not just with Devon. Internal game story line was fun to follow along with, and the building issues outside the game, while predictable, was still interesting to watch unfold. Another great installment for the series.
