About this listen

A young man and his axe, along with a magical life he never asked for....

Larek Holsten is different from most people living in the Kingdom of Androthe, where his seven-foot-tall frame is looked at with suspicion and anger from its shorter residents; but as long as it helps him become the best Logger he can be, he doesn’t let it bother him all that much. He and his best friend, an axe with a powerful Fusion that causes it to become sharper and stronger than a normal tool, are feared by the trees in the magical forest north of his home, as he can fell the quickly growing monoliths faster than anyone else in the community.

Unfortunately, after visiting the local village, a deliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble; as a result, he is taken away from his family and the only home he has ever known. Along the way, his dormant magical potential is discovered by those more knowledgeable than him, and he is ordered to attend some sort of academy for Mages.

The problem? Contrary to many who might jump at the chance of wielding powerful magic to fight the monsters that threaten the towns and cities around the Kingdom, Larek has absolutely no desire to become a Mage, especially when he has no choice in the matter. All he wants is to be allowed to return home to his family and to chop down the trees in the Rushwood Forest.

But once he discovers a unique talent that stems from his newly unlocked latent power, he might just have to stick around to see what he can do....

This weak-to-strong MC story contains LitRPG elements such as character progression and statistics, as well as a heavy crafting emphasis. No explicit sexual content or harems.

Great start to a story

It takes time to build a world, I can see a lot of potential here, I was also surprised on certain plot choices and characters, but excited to see where this goes, please keep writing!

Great book, as expected.

I have listened to over 30 book by Jonathan Brooks and they are all great. While this book IS different than the rest (not a dungeon core book), it is the same great writing as the rest. If anything, this book may be his most engaging yet, with me spending more time listening to it than not (I finished it a day earlier than I expected due to not wanted to hit the pause button on the book).
If I had to critique anything (minor spoiler ahead), I would say the MC, Larek, is a bit over paranoid, but also a little dumb with the way he goes about some things. That being said, he is young, so I would be more surprised if he wasn't dumb about some things. I also think that many of the other kids act well beyond their age, such that the age difference that is present is not apparent in the story, but this does not detract from the story.
All in all, I am really looking forward to the rest of the series.

crafting academy with hidden powers

first the major gripe is that the narrators voice for the MC made the MC seem like a moron. that sort of played into who the character was, sort of quiet ostracized giant people mistake for an oaf, but it was still annoying to me. MC has an interesting mix of powers that he has to keep quiet, world is neat, magic system is decent. goes to magic academy, is discriminated against, has a small group of friends with pretty good social dynamics and growth. MC just starting to hit power spike by end of first book, will get sequel

Crafter's combined with warriors? Yes, please!!

This book started off very interestingly and just got more interesting as the story went on. This book has satisfied my crafting meets warrior needs so much and I would personally reas it over and over again. Jumping at the chance to grab book 2.

not bad for being a good mc

this is a great stroy of a weak young man that's needs to grown up fast. everyone harts him for his size and treat him as a fool for he is slow to anger for he think about everything around him.
