Summary
With a knife in his gut, Rowan figured he was destined to become just another corpse littering the slums of Taureen.
So he was fairly surprised to wake up in the back of a moving wagon with a couple of adventurers. Turns out that Rowan had been given something most street rats can only dream of—a second chance.
With only a sword, a spell book, and enough gold for tuition, he is thrust into a school for aspiring adventurers. A world full of haughty nobles, scions of wealthy families, and various other types of people he used to steal from.
Here, Rowan must vie for his place among students who have been diving in their family-owned dungeons for years, their bodies filled with dense mana instead of tavern scraps and the occasional pilfered apple pie. He will have to fight, study, and keep his true past a secret.
Because Faebrook Academy is his second chance. His last chance.
About the series: Follow Rowan, a lowly street rat, on his journey to becoming a legendary adventurer in a world where diving monster-filled dungeons infuses your body with mana and helps you climb from lowly bronze tier all the way to the fabled platinum tier. But first, he has to graduate.

pretty good
Steady magical academy high fantasy story. Not isekai, despite the implications, which isn't a bad thing.
The characters are pretty good. No major plot holes, but there are a few minor continuity errors and narrative shortcuts that could have been easily edited away. They break the immersion a bit, but the story recovers quickly.
Overall it's a lot of school and homework and some amount of danger. If you don't like the setting, you won't like the story. But if a magical academy interests you, there's no reason not to give it a listen.
And can I say that it's good to not hear the words "tank" and "dps" in dungeon settings? Their etymology is so modern and specific that there's no conceivable way any setting other than our own could recreate them. Good job, author.
There's a section near the beginning where the Special Chosen One trope rears its head, but thankfully the plot doesn't lean heavily on it. The main character still has to sweat and bleed for sometimes mediocre results, but excitement takes many forms and the road to excellence is longer than one audiobook. Wherever this is going with the politics and the quest for power/greatness, it's not a sprint.

Great read, engaging and interesting.
It is very similar to the name of the wind. In fact, certain parts of it were better.

School Adventure
The first chapter is tough, yeah we get it, he's a street urchin. The second chapter where the story kicks off and starts to get fun. This is a straight fantasy boarding school book. Good character development with a great twist ending. Can't wait for the second one!

A new favourite series to dig my jaws into.
this is a masterpiece that I will hold close to the top of my loved works like darkthorn academy and the portal wars series. I highly suggest giving it a read

excellent
I absolutely flew through this book . its a sort of fantasy hogwarts type of a thing without being a simple copy. I loved how the author has progressed the characters and shown u the potential without turning him godlike within 10 pages as so many other books seem to. we'll well worth a read.
