Phantasm: An Isekai LitRPG Paperback – January 23, 2023

Very original and different Isekai book than I though, great story, awesome characters, nice world! For once not an overpowered MC.. The book is quite long and reads pretty much as two differents parts of the same storyI can’t wait to read the second book!

Isekai stories are so common today that I can't say that this is a unique story. Like so many other Isekai tales I've encountered, we have a tale where a number of people from Earth are picked up and taken to a new world for reasons only the dieties of the new world might understand, and of course they aren't telling.Into this we get the strangely named main character who quickly figures out how the system works and discovers a number of ways to make it work for her as she chooses an illusion based magical class and begins the slow slog through dungeons and the world's politics.There are some decent if slightly two-dimensional secondary characters who helped move this tale along. I'm not as enamored with the politics of the world, as they were stilted to an extreme, but the world building and development supported the way nobles acted and the rather hostile to all environment the plot demanded.This is a surprisingly well thought out tale, and was definitely one that got me interested in seeing more of the world.

Loved the book… the story line was interesting and the mixture of the rpg aspects didn’t seem forced. Can’t wait for the next

I really enjoyed this book. Has a nice cover, good plot, good character, good development. Main character doesn't make any stupid bone-headed decisions that you're just growing like you idiot. Why are you doing that smart throughout? Interesting point system for leveling. Interesting you the powers. Nothing so crazy that you have to really spend a lot of energy reinventing the wheel to figure out how magic works. Nice characterization. Nice descriptions. Decent action. Never felt any point. I was bored. Never felt that there was a good spot to stop reading in any point. It flowed really well. Would recommend and I'm going to read the next one.

The world walker idea is rather nice. The lack of a good epilogue is extremely annoying. We leave the story not safe, not happy and with no temporary resolutions.

This books is just like an rpg game but the main character is a lot different. She uses her brains and has that beauty that can captivate anyone. To top it all off, she has magic that is considered support magic. I can tell this book will hit differently from the normal isekai being born to overpower the world. I enjoyed reading this book.

So I have to admit, I’m actually on what we probably be considered the 2nd book in the series. I will keep my review only to this book. I will start out by saying it’s a great book to read of MC in the transporter to a new world and has to find her way. The character does not go the traditional hack and slash route. Instead, she goes for illusion. I won’t say anything more. Now the beginning read like a story of red before just a very first few chapters when she’s getting her feet up under her, but after that, when she branches out into the world begins the world for what it is. A place for opportunity and she takes advantage of these opportunities. I don’t want to spoil anything but she is not overpowered instead, she is a thinker and comes up with creative solutions to problems.This is a book I recommend five stars, and if you read this book, go online, find the other chapters and read those as well. If you’re like me, you won’t want to wait until the second book in the series drops.

Wow. This story was great. I stayed up all night with out relising and finished it.So the system this Arthur has made is very much on the same level as dnd where every single level matters. Getting to each level is not easy and level 8 is a national power house.Everything seems to be a calculation of your stat, lv, and skills vs something else's opposing of the same, where other level is a multiplier. For example the MCs health and mana double from lv 1 to lv 2.This makes each individual level matter.There is no MC killing a OP boss 1000 levels over them and gaining 780 stat points here.That doesn't mean there isn't over powered concepts or people/abilities in this world either.In a scene we see the MC at level one can fool town guards, a very high level guild representative and others with one of her spell because her charisma and calculated level for her spell is so high, even with such a low total level.Now all that gush about the system and honestly. It's a background part that is woven into the story. Because this book is mainly a story. The MC specializes in charisma after all.This book has what I'd call 3 parts to it. It kinda feels like 3 books in one because we go through 3 whole plot points. I feel like the author even wrote the in-between like a post book "x person" perspective.The story is very much the center. So it's not stat block every other page and more number then AP Physics like some litrpg books. Like I said earlier it's woven very well into this story.I am excitedly awaiting book 2.Hope yall join me.

This book is a good isekai fantasy with a likeable main character, good plot and grammar.Would recommend and looking forward to book 2.

Enjoyable MC interesting characters in a well-built world, plenty of scope for future adventures, and a good storyline. Reading the next book soon.

Well written book with a good plot and characters. My only complaint is that a few scene changes were rather abrupt and some readers may be put off by this . I will definately be reading book 2.
