Publisher's summary

Alex travels through a portal to a fantasy world in dire need of saving.

While the land is tainted with a curse against magic itself, slivers of its might seep through. Alex's Isekai comes with the special gift of Rune Magic. Rune magic is mostly gone, a vestige of its ancient power and if he unlocks some of his secrets, he may just restore balance. Of course, the odds are against him and the mysteries abound. Cerenis is not some cozy fantasy world. It's plagued by the Sudrel who are eager to kill someone like him.

But with the help of a few lovely ladies, he'll establish a base to grow his power. And not everything is about staying behind walls, because some of his potential allies will need a daring rescue.

Join Alex as he rises to power on Cerenis, coalescing a team around him to save the world.

Melanie for the win!

Interesting first book

This was an interesting first book to what could be an engaging series as all the elements of an epic seem present at this point. Time will tell

Great story.

This is a great story and world.
It went by so quickly that I thought I missed something. It was just so good that time flew.
Not your typical HaremLit and power structure.
Book 1 leaves you with a lot of questions and a strong desire for the 2nd book now.
I'm giving this book 8.5 out of 5 stars.

Fun story

I thought the magics running through song a unique take. The world is in flux, and there are lots of things to do.

I look forward to the next book where we will hopefully see more machines and have the runic lord get better and stronger.

good start

pretty good start to a new series. it felt like it took a little bit to hit its stride but by the end I was looking for more. you'll be hard pressed to find a better narrator than hastings. I will definitely pick up the next one.

Ehhh , it’s started strong but could have been better

Likes:
Cool setup
World built is serviceable
Didn’t immediately have multiple chapters of backstory
Character descriptions

Dislikes:
Mc is lead around by his nose for the whole book.
He is not a strong lead.
Forgettable storyline after the beginning. Felt cut and dry.
The whole thing felt unconvincing.
Boarder line simp territory


Hope this helps a bit.

Very good

I liked the first book of this series. Some character interactions were suspect and no one likes a massive cliffhanger. With great narration it was very good overall
