Story
My twin brother is a Wizard and thinks he's the only magician in the family. It's actually a little funny that he hasn't suspected anything different over the last 17 years - with my constantly need to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity - but that's not today's problem. You see, someone's trying to kill him.

Story
Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach. However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple. Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights. These old monsters will teach Sen everything they can, from the art of the jian and spear to the mysteries of arcane alchemy.

Story
In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee. But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

Story
Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero riddled city in the world, Perry's never felt...adequate. He's got no talent for magic, and not a scrap of superpowers to his name. When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother... Maybe there's a way he can do both...

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
Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

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.

In the blink of an eye, a wiki editor’s deep and somewhat unhealthy understanding of a game becomes useful, usable knowledge when he inexplicably replaces the once-cruel royal bastard. Before he can start to push his frail body to use his deep understanding of the lore to handle the imminent apocalypse, or go off to stop an invasion, there’s a more personal task he needs to handle first. His cousin has a knife in her hand, and death in her eyes.

Publisher's summary
University was supposed to be a time of exploration, of learning, and new discoveries...
I probably should have guessed that my problems weren't just going to vanish because I was feeling optimistic.
The Fairy peoples have cut themselves off, taking important parts of me with them. A new threat emerges, wrapped in a righteousness that serves only to conceal a dreadful rot.
Demons start to circle, Black Magic grows in power and influence, and my old enemies are starting to band together in the service of a new darkness.
If you think all that's not enough to be going on with, an old flame turns up just to make sure that it all hurts as much as possible.
It's going to take luck, cunning, and a colossal bagful of dirty tricks to get out of this one intact, and I'm pretty sure I spent all my luck the last time something tried to eat me...
Oh well, let's give it the old college try.

Still great. Hoping for continued growth
Still love it. And it threads the line of wholesome and kinda horrific really well. Still...I'm really starting to tire of the MC being as platonic and childish about certain things. It's time for more growth on that front, I'd say.

MC is a simpering punching bag.
Bit of a long short one here. As always the the narration was great. HARD STOP. I had listen on 2x because it's just the same loop as the last book. Fake morals, incessant flirting, hospital visits from easily avoided injuries all so that he can be doted on over and over again. Now you would think that the ingenuity, care and planning he demonstrated in the first book would deepen as he grows into his power and gains experience from several life and death experiences. Instead you have someone so flooded with hormones and disney princess logic that he constantly turns his back on people who's whole MO is to literally stab him specifically in. the. back.
I don't know what happened to the shadows instinctively protecting him from the first book because as of right now he has ZERO automated defenses magical or otherwise and it shows every chance it gets.
Unfortunately I'll be dropping this audio and just skimming the kindle books for the key notes. Unless the MC gets castrated for his own good or learns how to stop letting his weakness be his main attribute that is where I stand.
