About this listen

The gods see a weapon. The world sees a monster. But to his friends and the rest of mankind, he's the only hope in the coming apocalypse.

All Marek wanted was time alone with a good book. Instead, he's given a Class of legend, the spirits speak his name, and the fate of the world rests on his shoulders.

His simple life shatters the moment he awakens as the next Remnant Mage. His body, mind, and core begin a relentless transformation. Gifted—or cursed—with the ability to perceive what lurks behind the veil, Marek must learn to command the lingering spirits that haunt its unseen depths.

Yet no quest can be completed without a best friend. Nor may a hero rise to great heights without the guidance and snark of an abyssal minion. Fate has determined their path. Now it's up to Marek and Mags to find the allies they lack and the unforeseen boons needed in their quest to save the Twin Realms.

May the Principalities bless them. Heavens know they'll need it.

Blending epic fantasy and LitRPG, Remnant Mage is perfect for fans of He Who Fights with Monsters, Cradle, and The Beginning After the End. It's character-driven with moments of high action and slice-of-life, told from third-person PoV with a single MC. Contains violence, language, and content for listeners age 13+.

Absolutely Fantastically Engaging

The newest series by phenom writer TJ Reynolds once again casts vivid imagination with characters who’ll bleed and yearn, carrying us through emotional investment and thrill rides across his fantasy landscape. Travis Baldree’s narration is exquisite, matching the youthful ambition, sorrowful trials and bloodthirsty wraiths to perfection.
I am way on board to see Mags and Marek fight again!

Endearing heroes and demon fighting

In a genre flooded with a mixed bag of world, story, and character development the first book in this series stands out as one of the better ones. Narrated by the amazing Travis Baldree the characters come to life as they grow and overcome challenges. The world development is interesting and is left open enough to continue developing as the series progresses. While the "magic/skill system" in the series is not novel it is well done, logical, and easy enough to understand.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

Interesting spin on a well know class archetype.

The overall story is unique and pretty fun. It’s a good listen when you’re doing other things.

But dear lord, the male and female leads are unbearably stupid at times. And these aren’t young characters. I get that they’ve not moved out of town, but they miss things that should be considered obvious with a minimal amount of forethought. It’s especially annoying at times since the male MC is supposed to be intelligent and had a ton of book knowledge.

Anyway, I see a lot of potential and hope there’s better character growth.

Story is good, main characters are dumb

For me, this book is absolutely one of a kind. The character development is fantastic and the main characters class is truly unique. I really enjoyed the detail of the combat because it was believable and gritty. Though his class his powerful, he in no way starts that way, and puts in the work to achieve his goals. The way the characters interact with each other is well thought out, and I am just grateful to be able to be a part of their journey. If I could rate this more than five stars, I would do so gladly!

Just a heads up, DNF with about 1.5 hours left at 1.5X speed.

I wanted to rate this lower, I really did. It features one of the tropes I despise most in fantasy fiction (a power that'll make you lose your mind if you use it too much).

The trope is extra worse in the LitRPG genre. What are we even here for if not go live vicariously though a protagonist progressing, kicking ass and taking names?

Unfortunately, the existence and prevalence of this trope dragged the the entire story down for me. I couldn't stand it, I hated it.

So why didn't I rate it lower?

Honestly, because it's competent enough (and Travis Baldtree). I can't, in good conscious, give a competent story a one star because it doesn't align with my personal preference. That feels... wrong, gross.

I CAN warn you away though if, like me, you hate that 'protagonist losing his mind' schtick, along with a weepy, overly broody protagonist (the two are obviously linked).

I want to rate this lower, but I can't.

Unfortunately, this story doesn't stand out. The class is necromancer and doesn't do much to differentiate itself. The weird part is the class is a type of hero, and has a rival class that it must face except for some reason the heroic class has a curse...WHICH MAKES NO SENSE! If you have a good guy class and it's counterpart, bad guy class, then it makes sense for bad guy class to have the curse that pushes it towards evil.

Basically, this is Solo Leveling inspired. Also, the slow romance is so slow that i still don't know who is in the romance. I think it's supposed to be the MC and his best friend (because trope), but she seems to go after other people.
