Morgan's life is not easy. Growing up on the streets of City Four, he is constantly shunned by the other citizens. Morgan doesn't mind being ignored. What he does mind, though, are the constant beatings from the city guards due to his friendship with Sarah, the city lord's only daughter. Lord Simon wants him dead, but the laws of the kingdom are on Morgan's side and even the guards won't kill him, just for being seen near his manor.
Morgan's time is running out, though. Lord Simon has deep pockets and his last visit to the manor may just have put him over the edge. Worse, he is nearing his 16th birthday, and has yet to awaken any abilities. In a world where might makes right, he has never been one of the mighty. What will he do when faced with a life altering decision and just how will his decision impact those around him?

"I always like OP'd characters in books, but when the book turns out to be a "life is an RPG and people have stat pages somewhere in their butt" story, that just flat kills it.
Even for a youth novel, this book is shallow, seguing from one fight to another with virtually nothing in between. I don't always avoid youth books; some of them can be quite good even from a more mature standpoint. Sorry, this one just flat sucks.
Unless you're dead set on opening up a stat page and seeing everything you are and everything you may become reduced to a set of statistics that for some reason are conveniently written in your own language whenever you do some kind of weird zen meditation, pull your finger awaaaaaay from the clicky button."

Supermage Rise to Omniscience Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Aaron Oster Doug Tisdale Jr Books Reviews
- A rather simple and straightforward story of two young adults, one the daughter of a Lord, the other an orphan. They meet secretly on a regular basis, with the orphan being forced to hide as he's being hunted by the Lord's men.
The orphan (and MC) is almost 16, and still hasn't acquired his Mage or Super powers. This changes while he's on the run from the Lord's men who have been paid to kill him - he acquires both powers. Saying goodbye to the Lord's daughter, she decides to join him to travel to an Academy where they can learn to use their powers.
A relatively short book, though it does end on a climax and "continuing adventures" note.
Grammar was a but sloppy in places, with misused words that would pass spell check but were inappropriate.
The book could have been made better by providing some type of backstory - no idea of how such an odd couple met and became friends, or a better idea of the MC's life as an orphan.
The "romantic twist" has the author going overboard with the MC's innocence. "Dumb as a rock" is too polite for him, more like he was thrown in a hole alone at birth, and never interacted with society beyond his girl friend.
More LitRPG, initial game mechanics are quite simple. Class, skills, and attributes are given with no input, and are automatically advanced upon leveling. As the story progresses, we find that attributes can be enhanced by actions, and there is some indication of choice at higher levels. There is also an indication that energy earned within a level is directly applied to attribute enhancement.
All in all, a series which can be improved from okay to good by working on developing deeper character personalities with deeper conversations, and giving a deeper context of the world. The author should also develop more complexity within the story - the plot is far too easy for the reader, too easy to know what will happen far ahead of time... - I always like OP'd characters in books, but when the book turns out to be a "life is an RPG and people have stat pages somewhere in their butt" story, that just flat kills it.
Even for a youth novel, this book is shallow, seguing from one fight to another with virtually nothing in between. I don't always avoid youth books; some of them can be quite good even from a more mature standpoint. Sorry, this one just flat sucks.
Unless you're dead set on opening up a stat page and seeing everything you are and everything you may become reduced to a set of statistics that for some reason are conveniently written in your own language whenever you do some kind of weird zen meditation, pull your finger awaaaaaay from the clicky button. - This book has a lot of things going for it. The magic system is amazing and is explained well. The story moves at a really good pace and doesn't feel like its stagnant at any point. Great action even though the MC Is overpowered(Love Overpowered characters DBZ generation for life). The only hang up I had with this book was the main character is stupidly oblivious to the girls around him showing him affection. Also in what twisted world does a 16 year old Male boy not have any interest in the beautiful women he is surrounded by. This doesn't mean it had to be a harem please dont it's been done to much but he is 16 and unless he is a robot then he should have atleast some hormones. Dont care if he grew up on the streets or had a hard life its simple biology.
- Lots of fun here. Similar setting to some other books but we'll played out. Rpg system seems well fleshed out. the pace of the book and character progression was excellent. I did find a lack of tertiary and support characters to be odd. MC is at university of 100k students and only interacts with 2. Also his social deficiency with woman is starting to wear thin hope that's rectified in next book. The battle scenes were excellent and the combat well thought out as it should be. Can't wait for next book... To bad for the long wait.
- One of those books you can’t put down! I had to get to the end fell in love with the characters and the heroe’s cluelessness. It’s hilarious. His desire to fight so reminds me of naruto, the world they live in is very fascinating. Can’t believe I have to wait till September, ouch!!!!! Highly recommended
- A coming of age story about a young street orphan who with a friend escapes an evil lord and runs off to attend a magic academy with his best friend (who was the daughter of the evil lord). The magic system is pretty straight forward and has levels and attributes in a GameLit style, but also borrows lightly from Wuxia in its use of chi powers for fighting.
- A well written tale. Decent characters including differing classes and social ideals. To me a very unique universe where most powers are accessible and explored if only rarely combined.
- This book is a very good story in the GameLit genre. It is not overwhelming the reader with level ups and stat but has just enough of them to make the story interesting and easy to follow. There are a few misspelled words but it’s nothing that detracts from the story. Can’t wait for the next book.
