About this listen
For Jiyong, Bastion Academy is more than just a school for magic in the heart of the Kingdom . . .
It's his chance to pursue the secrets of the ancient ones' machines and get his family out of the poverty-stricken outer-city. His acceptance letter in hand, Jiyong is sure nothing will stand in the way of his dreams.
When a street brawl lands him in a coma only weeks into the year, his chances of graduating are all but shot. With an unlikely digital companion, he'll have to rebuild his magic core and catch up on all his classes, or risk being dropped from the academy at the end of the year.
But kingdom life is not like the outer-cities, and kingdom kids are far more ruthless about who they'll allow to climb to the top. Jiyong will have to train hard and fight for every score to make it in this wealthy academy for powerful families, all while supporting his own from afar.
From J. D. Astra, author of Viridian Gate Online: Firebrand, comes a brand-new Cultivation Academy series, bursting at the seams with nanites, martial arts, and robot battling.

Story
I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Story
Lucas was shocked when he awoke to find the world had ended. An alien AI called the System had taken over Earth and transformed his apartment building into a 100-floor dungeon tower of traps, monsters, and loot. Trapped at the top, Lucas and the other residents have just one year to reach the ground floor and escape before the tower self-destructs. That’s his first problem. The second is he slept through the System’s welcome orientation, so a Class was picked for him. Lucas is now a Blood Reaver. A brutal Class based on speed, ferocity, and striking from the shadows.

That is, until a building collapses on top of her, revealing she's on a fantastical island centered around the impossibly tall, glowing Tower of Aetherius . . . with an array of dangerous creatures—including jaguar hybrids, velociraptors, and giant, flesh-eating lizards—in the way.

Many adventurers come to try their hand at the Karl in the hopes of hitting it big. And it’s up to me now to sell them the equipment they’ll need to face the dangers that await them.

Then, a portal opened up on the ceiling of his hospital room. He'd seen that one in enough anime to recognize what was happening. It couldn't possibly be worse than the hell that was his life on Earth, not that he was given any choice.

Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day. Fail a challenge? Say something dumb? He can get a redo as long as he acts fast. And every time he levels up, he can go back a little further. But, even with his growing power, Arlan has never been in more danger. He was left stranded in the middle of a monster-infested forest, nobody to rely on but himself as he fights to build strength. And his time magic wasn't given to him freely. He stole it. And its original owners would go to any lengths to take it back.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story

There r a lot of good things happening here...
The world building and magic system r cool ...the writing is good ...the whole premise is dope ...lots of potential for awesomeness to happen in this story.
My only real complaint is that the MC is too emotional ...like it'd be good at like a 3 or 4, but this guy is on 10. Makes him seem pretty annoying. Actually ...on top of the emotional thing, this is one of those books where the MC makes some questionable decisions n u just have to tolerate the idiocy

Great mix of tech and magic
I almost skipped this book because of the negative review. Glad I didn't listen to those.
The MC is humble and definitely not secure. That role fits well given the background of the character. The tech powered by magic was a welcome change and made the world a lot more interesting. The story is fun with the MC not overpowered but building to it.
Narrator is good and does characters well, but would have been better with a second female narrator. Also, while the narrator tries to put emotion into his narration, much of the time he has somewhat of a softer voice. This works for most of the book but you do miss some of the cool parts because they are not voiced with more emotion.
Just pre-ordered the next book and can't wait to listen to that!

Great take on the genre
The first chapter throws a lot of stuff at you. I restarted the book thinking I had missed something. However it's ok. The story does a great job of pretty soon world building that feels really natural and some great twists and turns that make this book and hopefully the series exciting and refreshing.
