Synopsis

You know the drill, right? Die in an unfortunate accident and then get sent before a sultry looking goddess who sets you up for reincarnation. Todd was all set to return to earth and give his soul another ride through the roller coaster called life when something extremely unfortunate happened: the Earth was destroyed by a giant meteor. Already primed for Reincarnation, he was given only one other option, but it involved him rising again in an unknown land where magic wasn’t just in the stories. Want more details? So did he! There wasn’t time to ask much, so he went with it! But like all good Isekai stories, he was given a boon, and he asked for an attractive pixy guide to join him on his journey. Or at least when he asked for a fairy, he assumed that the sexy outfit and attractive part was a given. Turns out what they say about assuming is a 100% correct. Reborn as a “Reincarnate”—a bit on the nose with the naming, but whatever—he stumbles his way through his first moments of a new life. His guide is barely any help at all. The grumpy rotund fairy named Frank would rather sleep and drink himself into a stupor than give any practical advice or guidance. Join our reluctant hero as he is born into a place known only as the Nexus and learns what it means to be a Guardian. How much work must he do before he can just settle down and relax for a minute?

Goodreads review by GaiusPrimus on May 04, 2023

Another great series started by this Author. Forced portal series with some survival mechanics and party/dungeon diving story elements. Really fun read and am intrigued where the story will go. I know Arkane Knight #4 is next, but looks like another author where I’ll be following multiple series.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on May 25, 2023

read like a transcript of someone playing an MMO for the first time. Very little world building going on here, just noob quest after new quest. 25% through the book and the protagonist hasn’t even met anyone in the new world yet.......more

Thank you to NetGalley, and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook! I thought this one was just okay. A little too much bawdy humor, but I guess I should have guessed that going in.......more

Goodreads review by Jessica's on November 21, 2023

I really wish we could have half stars because truly this is a 3.4. I enjoy this concept of “world-dropping” into a new life and situation, add magic and the feel of a game and it is perfection. Sadly, this one fell short. Here’s why. What worked for me: The quality of words and world itself are soli......more
