How I, a Normal High School Student, Went to Royal Academy and Avoided Being Trapped in Hiatus Vol. 1: A LitRPG Adventure

This Academy Extra, Book 1

By: Kal Griffith

Narrated by: J.S. Arquin

After a tragic accident ends Samson's life, he's given a second chance by Aki, the grim reaper in a tracksuit.

Aki, a fellow fan of Samson's favorite light novel series, My Royal Academia, offers to help him, but only if he agrees to one condition: save the story from its hiatus.

Reincarnated into the very real world in the first chapter of the novel, Samson discovers he's been granted the unique ability of Jack of All Trades. Now able to learn any skill, talent, or weapon, Samson must navigate the everyday life of the prestigious Royal Academy, armed with the invaluable knowledge of the novel's most crucial secrets. But the stakes are higher than he could have ever imagined, as the fate of the story and his own life are inextricably linked.

Joined by the kind-hearted and determined Princess Victoria Somerset, her charismatic and confident brother Prince Nathaniel Somerset, and the wise and steadfast Mr. Stephen Ebenezer, Samson must rewrite the fate of My Royal Academia while embracing the challenges and joys of academy life.

It's a race against the clock to prevent the looming hiatus.

interesting story idea.

this story had me wondering how the author got the idea to write this story. I mean it was intriguing the whole way through. I'll be excites when the next one comes out.

Story was enjoyable

The story was very easy to listen to. Characters polarized you to care about them

Midpoint Story Bump Book

Rather unique LitRPG story style. The story the MC was jumping into was so stupid I almost stopped listening, but the MC's job was to make the book(s) better from the POV of a side character and side plots that never get flushed out. Creating new storylines and subplot for his existing knowledge of the book series.

nice concept

The ever changing plot of this book keeps you guessing. I enjoyed the characters development. Fun from start to finish.

Unique take on the Isekai genre

Sampson basically has to fix most of the main flaws of his favorite light novel to prevent it from getting cancelled. The way he does it is great because he pretty much takes the role of main antagonist and rival to the main character, Hero Goodlooking (yes that is his actual name). That way he can prevent him from making a fool of himself and alienate the audience. Probably the most interesting thing is his interactions with the main antagonist he usurped.

The great thing about this series is that it is complete with 7 volumes (5 currently on audible) so this will get an actual ending.
