Description

Press Start, Book 1 of the System Discovered! series is now published on Amazon and is available to read for free to those with Kindle Unlimited. Due to the exclusivity clause, I was required to take down most of the chapters for book 1. The first few chapters are still available here and you can read book 1 in its entiretyhere. For those that have already read it you can jump to book twohere.

Dean Parker likes to play classic video games. When he found his old consol from when he was a kid he dusts it off and sets it up. He played his old games but he had finished them all long ago. So what does he do? He takes a trip to the local game shop to browse the used titles. Browsing the old cartridges he finds one that he never heard of. Dark Ages: The Death of Magic.

When a store attendant tells him that game is rumored to never have been beaten he had to have it. Occupying all his free time he finally beats the unbeatable game. What happens next he never would have guessed. He is introduced to the system. Something that has always existed but not everyone knew about.

Join Dean as he is introduced to the seedy underbelly of the world. One where the myths of magic from the past read like history. Joined by his childhood friend he must survive in a world of magic hidden from everyone. A world that has remained secret through the blood of those who have discovered it. And to top it all off, his childhood friend, his best friend, isn’t even human.

    First off, sadly I had to dropp this fiction at chapter 8 because of many tiny things that didn't sit right with me.
    Now for the review:
    Lets start with the easy ones:
    Grammar is excellent, haven't found a single mistake (haven't been looking for them either though).
    Style is good too. Good textflow and pacing. A bit much infodump at times, but hard to do otherwise in that setting. There are just two point that bothered me a bit. Sometimes the word choices seem a bit weird to me, for example using anemic to describe trees. Nothing big, but at times I had to stop and think what the author could mean. What bothered me more was, that every time the MC notices one of his companions they are described as "beautiful", "gorgeous", "hot" or something along those lines (... every... single.... time....).
    Now charaters.... you might want to set my star rating one higher in your mind because I am very subjective here.
    I really hate the whole "hot childhood friend that secretly has a crush on the MC" trope and well, thats the main heroine.
    Unfortunately the MC follows that trope in that he is completly oblivious to her feelings, even when he notices them...
    However the MC has bigger problems, for he is loosing braincells. Every chapter he seems to get dumber.
    Still in the end what drove me away is the story or rather the worldbuilding, since by chapter 8 nothing really happend that I would call story. There are many small things that when put toghter form a world, that just does not make sense.

    First off, his Skill. None of his spells, except for the kinetic ones, are energy. At least not as they are described. For fire he is creating burnable matter. For lightning elektrons and charged particles (again creating matter). His shield worked differently when he fought the scorpion then when he designed it. Each hit should have, at least, left the scorpion recoiling since it was supposed to reverse the vector.
    I know this is more of a technicality, but for some rea
