Summary
The gods chose him. He said no.
After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry....
Fate, however, had another plan.
On his 18th birthday, he is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is "The Fool". Worst of the marks.
Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree...and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires, and try to pay tuition.
There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft...that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.
Explore a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building, and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.
With nearly 10 million views on Royal Road, this popular web serial has been completely revised and relaunched into this definitive version now coming to Audible, narrated by Travis Baldree!

Good story slightly spoiled by onomatopoeia
Overall I enjoyed the story, it’s a fun concept and generally well written. I appreciated the references to old cartoons. The narrator is one of my favourites and does an excellent job.
My only gripe is that the action sequences are spoiled by onomatopoeia. I nearly returned the title it was annoying me so much. Way to many BOOMs and VOOOMs.

My first audio book!
Engaging performance and an interesting plot. I like fantasies within academy settings and this kind of meets that part of my interest. Would have liked a bit more tension in the story for the main characters.

Definitely a DND style story
Personally I enjoyed it very much, it is however a DnD style story. You will get details if surroundings characters and general world building trivia that you wouldn’t get in a more traditional sort of story. The narration has too many “booms” tho

New favorite
Great story ( I love how the plot is so different to most books or there)
Narration is great as always. Really engaging and good.
People seem to keep to talking about the book ended? I thought it ended in a good manner, a bit of a cliffhanger and it makes you want to read the next one so I have no complaints about it. I felt it was a pretty good ending.
Overall I would recommend this book. its really good and I suggest you listen to it

would rate higher if it was all of book 1
yeah in royal road this audiobook only acounts for half of the first book, I'd have rated higher otherwise.
actually now that binds think about it, I have 2 problems with this story so far, 1 the magic system lacks specificity when you consider how long we've spent with it and 2 towards the latter half we loose alot of the character interactions that made it feel alive.
