It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Just one semester until graduation, and I died saving a little girl. This wasn't the end, though, as a deity chose me to save another world. I woke up in the body of Kupiec Aiden, in a world where magic was real. Unfortunately, unlike many isekai novels I've read, I retained none of his memories, and had to learn everything. His family took me in, and I recovered from his sickness before learning about magic, or Aether as they called it.

For eons, conquering dungeons has been the most efficient way to become a strong adventurer. Although not everything is as straightforward as it seems. Several questions have always plagued the minds of those who enter these mythical places of power: why are there so many monsters? Where do the amazing weaponry and heavy gold coins come from? Why does the very air fill with life-giving energies? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions, for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Heart.

Good book but some dialog is cringe-worthy

Publisher's Summary
When Jack Vance's grandfather is murdered, his dying words are to get Jack to promise to attend Darkthorn Academy.
Jack doesn't like it, but he'll do what is necessary to honor the man who raised him. But surviving Darkthorn Academy won't be easy. Jack will have to make alliances, learn to harness magic, and face dangerous enemies - both alive and dead. If he's lucky, he might just make it to second year.
Darkthorn Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure with gamelit aspects, including a slightly overpowered MC, a dragon companion, and a team of adventurers. It’s inspired by games like Skyrim, Diablo 2 and Fallout.

Hard to listen to.
Very noticeable and frequent pauses through the audio. It's like the narrator needed moments between voices, and however they spliced the audio back together they left chunks of time between them.

I can't finish this.
I think there is a good story in here somewhere. I want it to be there but between the awkward audio pauses (idk if that was the speaker or an editor), lack of character tone/inflection and surface level writing I can't find it. I was on chapter 15, saw there was 12 hours left and just can't bring myself to listen to the rest.
This book needs to be taken out of production, worked on for another year and reprinted.

I was enjoying this book 5/5 and then almost halfway through jack and his friends fail 1 class out of like 7 and for some dumb reason that is grounds for expulsion?? What on earth kind of school runs like that?? The logic and world building is subpar in this book but it can still be enjoyable.

jack stood up. jack breathed deeply. jack prepared himself. jack knew what was about to happen
-_- some parts of this are just painfully written.
voice actor doesn't help matters. can't keep his voices straight so it's easy to mix up who is talking until the stellar writing tells you.

Vikas Adam needs to get his act together
I haven't finished the book yet, but I've already spotted on an error on the 2nd chapter(repeated phase not cut out)
Also, the narrator's pacing is off, quite often, there are gaps in the middle of conversations that feel more like the end of a sentence or chapter.

A great listen/read! A well thought out plot, with in depth characters and well described locations. The story moves at a good pace, and all scenes are there for a reason, (no fillers). The narrator does a great job too! The humour is amusing as well! I will be listening to more from this series.

unfortunately the narrative was quite ‘dumbed’ down even teenagers don’t talk like this, a real shame if this is the author’s decision to ruined a great storyline with childish narrative. Shame the dragon relationship wasn’t highlighted & made more special.
