Pick Up Azyl Academy (Elemental Gatherers, #1) Penned By Chris Vines Shared As Digital Copy

few grammatical errors, but nothing serious, Mostly missing words or using the wrong word, At worst, it just breaks the flow of the novel,
Characterization is the worst part of this book, The characters all appear the same and several times I had to check to see who was speaking because they all sounded the same, The reactions of several of the characters seemed out of alignment with how I thought people should reacted to that given situation, That said, it is more my opinion, The best example of this is the parents of the Aiden who find out that their child has died and been replaced with someone else from another world, They seem rather accepting of this fact and just move on,
The time spent at the Academy was interesting, It was interesting because you got to experience what he experienced as he experienced it, but at the same time, it seemed to drag on as the author explained every minute of every day.
This resulted in an issue with Pace, The pace was the second issue with the book,
The story was very good, and it is what kept me enthralled, I was not familiar with the magic system that was being used and I enjoyed discovering the mysteries along with the protagonist, Some of the events in the story seemed contrived, The subplot with Nicky seemed to be put there just so that the protagonist could have an antagonist, This is not always necessary in a story unless you want to create strife, But then the antagonist disappears for most of the book, his role, therefore, becomes moot,
There were a few things that I was expecting that did not happen, which I thought was odd, I figured that there would be more interest in the main character as he demonstrated abilities that were beyond exceptional, He rose through the levels faster than anyone before, even skipping on a level entirely, What was supposed to take months or years, took days and weeks for him, This should have drawn the attention of the administration if not the legal authorities, as people would want to help/control him, There are usually many people/groups who would want to get involved when a protege like him shows up particularly the nobles,
Overall, I enjoyed the book, I appreciate the fact that this is the first book by this author and I hope that he continues in his efforts as the results are worth the read,
The prose is awful. The writing felt choppy and clumsy, Great story can't wait book

Honestly one of the better western wuxia novels I have ever read and I cannot wait to see you where the story felt This is really good, I'm totally diggin' it.
The cultivation is slow going but reading Aiden/Caleb's progress is still exciting to see, I love the phoenix in this too, Next Please

Really enjoyed this book, great charcters, Keeps. you turning the page to see what the next challenge, Will be. Need to see Nicky whupped Earnestly earnest

Really more of a YA, but its written so, . . goodygood. Shades of Harry Potter not surprising in an academy type book, Very MarySue. While the character grows in power, there is no development as a person,

Its not poorly written, though there are a myriad of ways to improve, But its also not well written, The teachers are all one dimensional caricatures, every plot point travels in a direct line, and the MCs fellow students are little more than a list of attributes,

I did read the whole book, which elevates it beyond many other wuxia/LitRPG series, The beginning almost made me stop as it was too, . . goodygoody Hero heroing heroically. Like the Captain America we saw in the SpiderMan movies in the detention video, Once the MC entered the academy things flowed better as he was at least progressing in a scholastic setting, but it still was very MarySue,

I will try the sequel, Absolutely loved this book! Done in less than a day, and now going through withdrawals waiting for the next, Absolutely recommend!!!!! Could not put this book down

This book was awesome great well written characters, fun book, great story
I eally can't wait for bookThis book got my hopes up in the early chapters as when this character goes through the usual routine from these books of being transferred to a new world, he started making intelligent decisions that weren't following the normal path.
Things like not hiding what happened to him from his new family, and applying knowledge from our world onto this new world, were things that I thought might set this book apart from the rest.
It seemed like the author was aware of the tired tropes of the genre and was turning them on their head, . . sadly that wasn't the case,

My hopes didn't last long for this novel before it quickly falls back into the familiar routine of this subgenre of fantasy, This book is a mix of isekai and cultivation, both of which are genres I have grown really familiar with recently, Both are types of books I really enjoy and I'm always excited to read new ones, However, I have read so many now that I am more than familiar with the formula, Therefore unless you can offer something more than a normal protagonist transferred to a new world where he instantly starts learning a very familiar type of magic in a magical school or magical trials, then I'm going to lose interest in your book really quickly.


What was missing from this book is a hook to really grab you, Whether that's setting some really high stakes, creating a unique magic system, setting up a unique environment, . . or anything else really, there just needs to be more,

On top of this lack of a hook, there was also the problem of the author not paying enough attention to his characters, He is clearly interested mainly in the cultivation elements of the story as he spends the most time on that, but unfortunately, he forgets to include other vital elements to the story.
The biggest casualty of this was the characters, especially the main character, He came to this new world after dying to save the life of a little girl, leaving behind his fiance in the process, Yet despite this we never see the character so much as shed a tear for what happened to him, nor even seem to care in the slightest, There is a headnod to the god of this universe doing something to make him accept this new situation easier along with his new parents just accepting that he is using the body of their dead son like it's no big deal, but to me, that's just lazy writing.
It's essentially the author saying that he didn't want to deal with that side of things so he thought up a onesentence excuse to get him out of it,

The trouble is that this isn't the sort of thing you can just ignore, Having your characters react emotionally is what pulls readers in and turns a story from nothing more than a list of events into something you can actually care about,

So overall, this book is lacking in a few key areas and for that reason, I can't recommend it, "You have chosen and been chosen, Grow stronger and save my world, "
Just one semester until graduation, and I died saving a little girl, This wasn't the end, though, as a deity chose me to save another world, I woke up in the body of Kupiec Aiden, in a world where magic was real, Unfortunately, unlike many isekai novels I've read, I retained none of his memories, and had to learn everything, His family took me in, and I recovered from his sickness before learning about magic, or Aether as they called it, I discovered that I had immense innate talent in Aether Gathering, and was offered a scholarship to attend Azyl Academy, the city's premier institution, Where do I fit in this world, and how am I going to be key to saving it A Good Read,

Reincarnated when he died on earth to a new world with magic, Liked the story and will pick up the next book when it comes out, Rating.stars

This was a good cultivating story, It follows a senior in the USAFA who ends up dying after saving a little girl, He is given a choice to be reborn on another world that has a calamity coming, He agrees and wakes up in the body of ayear old named Aiden who had recently passed away, The only

people that don't know he isn't Aiden are Aiden's parents, Everyone else is told that he lost his memory from being sick for so long, This world has cultivation and up toaffinities, When he goes to testing he finds out that he has more high affinities than anyone ever tested, The rest of the book is training and growing, Not much else to the story yet, The whole book was basicallyweeks of training at the new school, The cultivation, inscribing, alchemy and fighting was very well written and detailed, The characters and their interactions weren't very complex and really not that memorable, The main focus though is the cultivating, If that is something that you like to read, then I highly recommend this story, Good story with uneven writing,

This man needs an editor, If he does have one, they need to be replaced, The writing in this story is choppy at best and is very uneven, The story itself is good however it is held back by the editing, I am an Air Force Veteran and graduate of the Air Force Academy, I have wanted to write for the entire of my adult life and finally decided to just do it, .
