Reddit reviews Azyl Academy (Elemental Gatherers Book 1)

You must have a super strict definition of what you consider "progression fantasy" (vs I guess other fantasy that doesn't have strict RPG quantification).

Some other series that I consider progression fantasy and I enjoyed:

• Into the Labyrinth by John Bierce (two sequels are out, although these books tends to be on the shorter side). Like, this book is shockingly short. If I hadn't checked the length after, I would have sworn this was at least twice its 178 pages (which is probably good if the author is crazy like me and considers crazy stretch goals like "adapt this into a feature length film").
  
  
• Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe is a very western magic school progression series.
  
  
• The Fire Within by DK Holmberg is about a good friend that accidentally passes the test to get into magic school, then has to work his ass off to not get kicked out and forced to serve the school as a janitor. (6 books in this series right now)
  
  
• Hollow Core by Gage Lee is basically Wuxia/Xianxia High School (sequel comes out October 29th)
  
  
• Azyl Academy by Chris Vines is another Wuxia/Xianxia High School (sequel comes out November 8th) -- This book has two main weaknesses, the first is the author has way too much meta internal monologue that I think he uses as a "lampshading" trope to justify that a person positioned by a god has a lot of inherent talent (I mean, he already justified it by having a literal god intervene). The other is the lack of a coherent goal (MC just wants to "git gud" because a god told him he would be the difference between a good and bad outcome). But this series is admittedly aimed at "grade level: 5-12" (which seems like a big range to me).
  
  To me "normal" length book is 300-350 pages.
  
  > why aren't established fantasy authors rushing to deliver?
  
  New niche (niche-ier?) genre labels appear all the time, so there are probably a ton of fantasy stories out there that have that "progression" aspect to it that you are overlooking.
  
  Seriously, just climb down through Amazon's category labels to the bottom of fantasy limb and read there.
  
  The difference between "fantasy" and "progression fantasy" is how much the author details the main character(s) montages.

Welcome :)

It is usual to add a link to the book or your website so that it is easier for readers to find it. I searched and I hope this is the one you mentioned in the post: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TFSC77N/

Hello r/fantasy. I'm an Air Force veteran trying to get started as an au author. My first series, Elemental Gathering, is a reincarnation cultivation/progression fantasy series written with a slice of life style. It's targeted at the YA audience. The first book Azyl Academy is on Kindle Unlimited and the second, Chaos Rising, is available for pre-order.

I was getting ready to graduate, with only one semester left, when I took a ski trip with my fiancee and ended up dying to save a little girl's life. 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?

Azyl Academy by Chris Vines is a new one. https://www.amazon.com/Azyl-Academy-Elemental-Gatherers-Book-ebook/dp/B07TFSC77N/
