🌙 A Fantasy Romance of Lost Memories, Dangerous Magic, and an Irresistible Bond 🌙
Oliver wakes in darkness with no memory of who he is—only a name and a gut-deep certainty that everything familiar has been ripped away. When he steps through a magical portal into the breathtaking realm of Cindersea, he discovers he’s not alone. Dozens of other memory-less young people stand beside him, each chosen by mysterious forces to become champions in a world teetering on the edge of ruin.
To survive, Oliver must join the Royal Scouting Brigade and train in magic, battle, and survival. But he’s no warrior—he becomes a cleric, healing from the back lines, trying to find purpose in a world that already feels like it’s slipping through his fingers.
Then he meets Sky—an Animaru druid with wolf ears, a sharp tongue, and secrets carved into every muscle of his battle-scarred body. Their connection is instant, electric, and forbidden. Sky wants nothing to do with anyone... and yet Oliver can’t stay away.
As danger creeps ever closer and whispers of forbidden magic stir in the shadows, Oliver must cling to safety and anonymity, or embrace a power within him darker—and more dangerous—than he ever imagined. Because in Cindersea, healing comes with a cost, love is a risk, and some memories were lost for a reason.
World of the Forgotten drips with slow-burn tension, grumpy/sunshine chemistry, forced proximity, reluctant soulmates, magical portals, memory loss, forbidden magic, monster-slaying missions, and a dangerously hot wolf-eared druid who might just ruin the cleric's innocence—if the world doesn’t burn first.

Could you survive in a fantasy world with your memories erased?
World of the Forgotten is Blake R. Wolfe’s next fantasy series, and it pits us in Cindersea through the eyes of Oliver, who, like many of his peers, has lost his memory upon arrival in this new land. Immediately, we’re thrust into a series of events that force Oliver and his new friends into the rigors of being adventurers as well as the intrigue amongst the guard.
Blake has always been great at creating worlds for us readers to get lost in, and Cindersea is no exception. We’re also given a great supporting cast that helps in carrying the story, while Oliver stumbles often in finding his place in it.
Book one is a great introduction to this world, and I am eager to see where the story goes in the next installment.
I initially found it a bit boring, but as I read on, the story became more interesting. I started the book because of its similarity to classic isekai anime and because of our handsome wolf-eared and tailed friend, and I liked it. The fact that the main character is a healer also enhances the story. I was tired of classic strong warrior characters. I didn't like the guy in the golden armor from the moment he first appeared. I'm extremely annoyed by those constantly smiling types. The ending was sad and satisfying. I wish Sky were a real werewolf. Just having wolf ears and a tail doesn't make him very appealing to me. In short, the book was good. You read about the dangerous adventures of the intelligent and gradually growing stronger main character and his group.
This was my first time reading anything "gamelit" and well, it did give off some real video game vibes. Other than that that, it was an okay book. Kind of flat and predictable in ways, and some of the writing choices weren't my favorite, ie written out stammers in dialogue and then the dialogue tag would be "stammered" and that felt redundant. Still I ended up getting more invested than I expected and enjoying myself. Wouldn't mind a sequel tbh
I love gamelit and with a gay flare made this even more amazing. Oliver and Sky were adorable. I love that the couple adventures together! The plot was exciting, I'm so interested in Cindersea and the secrets we have yet to uncover!
But bro this is literally the plot to inuyasha at the end. Wolf boy? Cleric? Priestess? Shikon jewel? I’m not hating but make it a little less obvious.
