The Chosen ArchMage: A LitRPG Fantasy

By: Mark Alan

Narrated by: Alfie Syme, Renée Nolen

Ian Vale was never meant to be a hero. He was just a healer with a leaky mana pool and an academy that repeatedly rejected him. When a desperate dungeon run puts him face-to-face with a Lesser God, Ian doesn't die, he sacrifices himself into a looping doom spell, becoming something greater than the kingdom has ever seen. Ian conquers the dungeon as The Chosen ArchMage, tasked with saving a kingdom even his newfound powers will struggle against.

Fun read

liked the book but was disappointed that the main character became an archmage and barely used his magic like a mage.

Beware if you are a woman

This story is written in a males gaze and is very sexual with detail exotic characters, this book starts out normal but it goes left after like 8 chapters.

Ridiculous

Thought it might be a little slice of life adventure, and the first little bit was, but turns out it’s some kind of quasi-harem thing with an angsty MC who simps when he’s not playing with himself about how awesome and overpowered he is.

I think I made it 3 hours before I called it quits.
