The First Rule of a Nobleman #1
The First Rule of a Nobleman: A Portal Progression Fantasy Series
My fame was far ahead of me. I once had my own space fleet and the best women in the world. Some called me a hero, others a murderer. A few said I was a traitor. Even my father turned his back on me.
Long story short, in the end, I was sentenced to death.
That didn’t quite work for me. So when the chance came, I took it. I chose a new life in a new world. Got a new body too. Now I’m a young nobleman in the Russian Empire.
Yes, I’ll have to start biting throats again. Prove I belong at the top. But when has that ever stopped me?
Fate gave me another go, and I don’t plan to waste it.
My name is Silvian Crass, and this is my story.

Great Start!
What a unique starting premise! Lots of action and amazing world building, in the best tradition of the birth place of LitRPG.

Great book
Well written story with a smart, likable, mc in an interesting world. Lots of action and potential with the portals.

I think any enjoyment of this book will hinge on whether you think the guy is cool and cynical, or a rude arsehole. He seemed like an arsehole to me.

overly pompoms and long winded after dragging the book for about 20% and nothing to show for it i gave up.

Really good
This book was good from start to finish. Lots of action, scheming, fun, and power building. This is definitely a grownup version of portal progression.

DNF @47%
*I really liked the start of this book and then he got to the Academy where a grown man in a 17 y/o body seemed to revert.
