Academic ConFusion

Magical Fusion, Book 2

By: Jonathan Brooks

Narrated by: Miles Meili

As Larek uncovers the secrets of his past, he soon discovers that such secrets were probably best kept hidden…

After being kicked out of Crystalview Academy by Dean Wilburt, Larek and his new friends are forced to journey south where he is to continue his studies in yet another Academy named Copperleaf. Along the way, the Logger-turned-Fusionist expands his knowledge of the world and its people – and the world slowly learns about Larek in return.

Arriving at Copperleaf, the fledgling Fusionist soon learns that his new Academy is just as dangerous as Crystalview, but for altogether different reasons. Despite the danger, Larek also has the opportunity to expand his skill in creating Fusions in ways he had never dreamed of before – and there is no Dean ready to punish him for exercising that skill, either.

Unfortunately, dangerous information about who he is and his place in the world will be revealed to him, further muddying the waters of his academic experience. The shock and confusion this dangerous information produces will challenge Larek to new heights as he works to keep his secrets from those who would use them against him.

This weak-to-strong MC story contains LitRPG elements such as character progression and statistics, as well as a heavy crafting emphasis. No explicit sexual content or harems.

great follow-up

a great follow-up to the series. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Fun story

I quite liked the story. It was fun and enjoyable. I was excited to see the competition at the school, which was a nice difference compared to the scisions (so?) from the last book. Wonder what Laerik will get himself up to in the next book!

really enjoyed the story!

very enjoyable world view and good character development! i like the big guy in the land of the "little people" angle and the story behind the story which puts the MC through various trials and tribulations. I'm through book 3 and into the next so wanted give my thumbs up on this interesting series! Excellent narration, but with a few audio editing errors that aren't too distracting.

the progression of the main character

nothing worth writing about that I dislike it's only small things that I would do differently in certain points in the story.

The way the MC is truly coming into his own is absolutely incredible!!

What an amazing continuation to this series!! The MC is truly figuring out who he truly is and what this new life has in store for him. However, with his trusty best friend by his side and people he truly trust and count on, nothing can stop him from accomplishing his goals......or can it? This book is a whirlwind of different emotions that keeps you wanting for more!! Jumping to start the next in the series!!

works for me

Glad to see some growth, and happy the mc sounds a bit less slow in the head. Really hoping he sounds better as his speaking skill rises. Overall a good continuation and look forward to watching his future growth.
P.S. He does not get a giant fur baby. I know the cover gives some hope but no.

Wonderful!

Can’t wait for the next book! Wonderful addition. The story and crafting system are being fleshed out nicely. I’m so glad that at least some of the problems the protagonist was running into are being fixed, though there is always another pooping up lol. Getting some answers about what makes him different too, though not everything is answered. Can’t wait for the whole backstory of the big reveal in this book. All around great book as always!

Lareks journey continues

I am thoroughly enjoying the continuing story of Lareks growth and exploration of fusions and the world at large. it is fun and miles narrates it perfectly

answered a lot of questions while adding more that you want to know

I really enjoyed the story and am looking forward to seeing the characters future growth

Progression of the story

I love that the story is progressing, not getting thin or stale. The characters grow and so has the story. It reminds me a bit of another magical young man and his friends
