About this listen
Nox had hoped a successful alchemy business would mark the end of his financial troubles.
He couldn't be more wrong.
City taxes, labor and material costs, and his competitors now threaten to do what cultists and his step families failed to do—cripple him. Mysterious and concerning dreams also plague his nights as he struggles to stay afloat.
But all hope is not lost!
A fungal plague threatens the continent's residents and the farmland that feeds them. Nox believes, he has the key to saving them and turning the blight into a boon and source of profit. Money is as important as magic to accomplish his goals, and saving the world might just win him the final tool for victory: political influence.
Continue on Nox's journey from Novice to Archmage in this Arcane Academy LitRPG series from J Pal, bestselling author of The Houndsman and They Called Me Mad.
It features a unique magic system which involves cultivating a solar system in one's core, Detailed spell crafting and alchemy, Dungeon diving, arcane archery, a magic university setting and so much more.

In a world where runes hold unimaginable power, mere mortal and gifted artisan Nate must harness arcane magic to navigate treacherous paths, reveal the hidden truths of his own past, and discover the workings of the illusive ‘System’. No big deal. Emboldened by only his penknife and a weirdly profound understanding of runic sorcery, Nate must uncover if the path he has been thrust upon may spare his earthly existence. After all, why only leave your mark on one world… when you might leave it on two?

Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners. At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

Story
Rollo believed that money ruled the world. Then his world came crashing down. Now, Rollo finds himself in a dystopian, corporate-ruled world where where greed and exploitation are the norm. Armed with a mysterious system, he must navigate a high-tech yet unforgiving society where survival means leveraging every advantage. Rising to the top won’t be easy, but it’s the only way to thrive. To rise, Rollo will need more than cunning—he’ll need to outmaneuver those who would see him fail.

Story
I was in my garage, when the space elves addressed the whole world. They didn't call themselves space elves, of course, but most humans struggled to pronounce Khjurhnalva. They had a message for us: Forces that had eradicated their species' males were heading for Earth. The space elves offered us access to the System, as cooperation was vital to the survival of both our species. I, Mathew, know all of the above is bullshit. I saw the truth with my own eyes, heard it from their beautiful, deceitful mouths. No one believes me, though. A planet-wide, survival reality show? Ridiculous.

A fun and enjoyable sequel
It was nice to continue along the journey. The author builds upon the creative vernacular of the forst installment while weaving in spells of intrigue and conflict. Wonderfully read by Martin.

Sloppy Progression
While there's quite a lot to like in this series, I never really understood the power system or what is causing increases in power or what those increases are or how they're effecting combat. Early in the last book, we had the promise of an overpowered main character who uses his unique spell form and alchemy to overcome some mana burn scarring, but after the fight in the zeppelin in which he saved everyone heroically, it has seemed like a walk-back on his powers that also happens to be vague. So magical arrows he forms out of his special crystal magic don't actually turn mobs to crystal or do they? He can used crystalline mana sometimes to freeze things and sometimes to make explosions of light (or just explosions) but not all the time and why not all the time?
Plus, there are sometimes things that either I missed or they come completely out of the blue like the character inventing a potion for male enhancement (no idea how it does that either). There are also a lot of irons in the fire and they seem to be abandoned for a while and then just picked up and accomplished or, worse, advanced a tiny bit and then put back down. Basically, I just felt the progression both narratively and in character growth felt sloppy and thus unsatisfying. Maybe better plotting would help, as I think the author wrote vaguely in an attempt to not paint himself into a wall and the result was a bit sloppy.
Honestly, it's still pretty good. It's okay. There's just a lot of stuff that's very good, great, or spectacular. If I'd rather reread a great series than listen to your pretty good one, then that's a problem. Still, pretty good can find an audience and I won't fault anyone for liking this. There's so much to like that I put off my issues for a long while.

What happens when an academy, a slice-of-life, and a delve have a chimera
Ohhhh man I loved this second book in the series. It's by J Pal and it's about a student learning to make his alchemic potions even more powerful and at the same time running a business making enough money to not only pay for his tuition but all the employees that he hired. With his family and a couple of backers fronting the business. All he has to do is pull off a miracle or two to grow the wealth. And of course delve deep into dungeons and rifts. Leveling up his skills along with his friends and with the help of Otis his gremlin familiar and a bunch of squirrels they delve deep, tackling monsters and bosses that they probably shouldn't take on... Oh and what goin-on with Bi Xi?
Go grab the audiobook Eric Jason Martin’s voice is perfect. Besides it's an academy book, I know you love those too! ❤
Here's a quote that amused me:
“I’ve heard the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else,”
