Description

An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead.

Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week.

I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light.

Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods...

Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye...

Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic.

    Review as of ch. 07. Its not good. Maybe it gets better, but i cant be bothered to read about a guy having a nerd-gasm in a cave.
    Heres what we got so far:
    Dude gets magicked into a cave with a dragon, world is a crappy medieval society because they cant possibly be more advanced since they dont have science, dude becomes most efficient magicman ever because he happened to google all these ideas and concepts (nothing revealed about MC past because he needs to be omnipotent know it all), dude makes magic gun... with infinite ammo. Had to drop it here.
    What will probably happen next? Dude leaves cave and jizzes on this backwater world full of plebs because they're stupid and dont have science. Got money dude googled telomere and will magic himself a long life, or immortality. But this is all speculation because its hard to care about a dude playing with himself in a cave
    That being said, it is authors first work and he has his magic system down. Just wish he wouldnt throw it in my face all at once. Grammars fine, no obvious errors i noticed

    Yea i had to drop this story around chapter 13 due to the fact that the mc now lives with a female dragon and just got a slave elf girl like yea no storys like this make me upset i want to read about a guy in a new world not a guy who gets a harem 10 chapters in. I suspect that the story will devolve into a washcloth mc who is used by the girls he meets because he has no spine.
