Liam Elloway is the survivor of a terrible accident, but when he gets swept up into the world of the occult and enrolled at a strange academy for practitioners of dark magic, things get really interesting really quickly. As the first necromancer enrolled at the school in years, and the only mage of a certain type known to exist in centuries, all eyes are on Liam as he begins to discover his destiny. But can his sneering headmistress be trusted? And between the gorgeous celestial girl, the raven-haired vampire, and the pink-haired, red-horned half-demon, how will he manage his new relationships?

This is a decent story there's some lack of detail but enjoyable enough. My main problem is the male narrator over pronounces everything and it's obviously not natural.

Decent story but narrator needs to relax

I finished most of the book due to there being quite a few interesting scenes but it is when the story has more than one woman in any particular part, you start to see how weakly written the main character is. He is simply a mentally weak character with a significant power. Any idea or opinion the females in the story have about him, he just conforms to it. he agrees as long as he is able to continue whatever non-existent relationship they have. He is degraded in almost every conversation and the only time he shows a semblance of a back bone is when he speaks to the other male characters. The character is so pathetic that two female characters get genuinely upset with him for insinuating that he may have had activities(which he doesn't) with another female character that is not in their group. one of them rebukes him severely. within the next chapter or two, he just stands there as the same female has sex with her and everyone acts like it is the greatest thing ever. I can't recommend this book.

Main character is lower than a doormat

Not a lot to say, other than you are going to like this if you like the harem LitRPG magic academy sub genre.
The MC gets attacked by a monster and then taken to the magic school where there's a bunch of gorgeous monster women and he finds out he's the OP new guy and is a "chick magnet."
Not as much sex as I've come to expect from a Virgil Knightley book but enough to keep you interested.
Greyson and Anderson do a great job.
5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 stars.

Virgil Knightley writes an interesting story full of fun and engaging moments, along with some great character development and plot movement. I look forward to the next part of this series! Audio Version: Bruno Anderson and Peggy Greyson narrate this story well and their respective characters are unique and interesting.

Another great story from Virgil Knightley!
