After a tragic accident ends Samson's life, he's given a second chance by Aki, the grim reaper in a tracksuit.

Aki, a fellow fan of Samson's favorite light novel series, My Royal Academia, offers to help him, but only if he agrees to one condition: save the story from its hiatus.

Reincarnated into the very real world in the first chapter of the novel, Samson discovers he's been granted the unique ability of Jack of All Trades. Now able to learn any skill, talent, or weapon, Samson must navigate the everyday life of the prestigious Royal Academy, armed with the invaluable knowledge of the novel's most crucial secrets. But the stakes are higher than he could have ever imagined, as the fate of the story and his own life are inextricably linked.

Joined by the kind-hearted and determined Princess Victoria Somerset, her charismatic and confident brother Prince Nathaniel Somerset, and the wise and steadfast Mr. Stephen Ebenezer, Samson must rewrite the fate of My Royal Academia while embracing the challenges and joys of academy life.

It's a race against the clock to prevent the looming hiatus.

so I have seen many people dislike this story And at first it seems really really slow and actually really strange and weird I just took a shot on it however the more I think about it and I'm not sure if this is the writer's intention but I believe the story is supposed to be progressive based on the story within the story basically the main character is supposed to fix a broken novel that ends up being pretty bad at first that is reflected by the few people who read it And the story is weird and seems weird at first as well it's pretty boring and doesn't make much sense but as it continues to grow it seems to get way more interesting which I think is the writer's attempt to grow the stories interest based on the events that take place within it kind of like fixing the broken story and at the same time making this story seem really well built I could be reading too much into it but that's my take on it I've started to really really enjoy it after the tournament about halfway through.....

Great story with immense world building and a unique take on the world.

Scenario: A person dies reading a book, to avoid time in purgatory they volunteer to go back in time as a minor character of the story they were reading, to prevent it from going on hiatus. Chaos obviously ensues as the character finds that the world he was reading about was a lot more diverse than he originally thought.

A Great First Story

Rather unique LitRPG story style. The story the MC was jumping into was so stupid I almost stopped listening, but the MC's job was to make the book(s) better from the POV of a side character and side plots that never get flushed out. Creating new storylines and subplot for his existing knowledge of the book series.

The ever changing plot of this book keeps you guessing. I enjoyed the characters development. Fun from start to finish.

nice concept

Sampson basically has to fix most of the main flaws of his favorite light novel to prevent it from getting cancelled. The way he does it is great because he pretty much takes the role of main antagonist and rival to the main character, Hero Goodlooking (yes that is his actual name). That way he can prevent him from making a fool of himself and alienate the audience. Probably the most interesting thing is his interactions with the main antagonist he usurped.

The great thing about this series is that it is complete with 7 volumes (5 currently on audible) so this will get an actual ending.

Unique take on the Isekai genre

I mean. I guess its a cool concept. Wish the narrator didn't make is sound like Samson seem like he had asked a question every response. Story wise it is fine. Characters are actually kind of nice. I mean they are exactly how their names are implied. I'll give book 2 a shot but I wish there was a redo of the audio. It truly feels like his first book he had ever narrated.

Meh

An interesting idea but executed by an uninspired writer. I tried to enjoy this but kept wishing for something interesting so I moved on to a different book with this one unfinished. Your mileage may vary.

Underwhelming
