Spell Weaver 2: A LitRPG Adventure
Alex is about to learn that power comes at a price.
After surviving the Epic Celestial Rift and learning powerful magic, Alex returns home exausted and craving a sense of normalcy. He buys a new place to call home for his team, focuses on training with friends, and tries to figure out who he is when he’s not fighting for survival.
But that peace won’t come easily. While his best friends level up and grow stronger, Alex struggles with the feeling that he’s falling behind… stagnating while the world moves to catch up with him. Rivalries and petty bullies turn dangerous as the pressure builds every day for him to push his magic further.
When Alex finally takes the leap to push beyond his limits, the consequences are devastating. At odds with the System itself, he’s forced to find a new path forward. But from that loss comes opportunity. A chance to create something greater than he ever imagined. Alex learns that sometimes you have to lose everything to unlock your true potential.
Join Alex in the second volume of the Spell Weaver Chronicles as he achieves something he never would have thought the creation of a brand new magic system, Spell Circles. Perfect for those who love earned progression and a detailed magic system.

First 80 pages is garbage. Absolutely shit-all has happened. Am I supposed to be super excited about him buying a house and getting a butler? Well I'm not.
He gave up the biggest and most powerful resource possible. An epic rift. He did NOT need to do this. He had a ton of items to sell, which would get him a ton of money. If he wanted to sell access to the rift, he could have made it a sticking point that he has full control over 10 slots of the rift. He had all the leverage in the negotiation. This rift is the best possible place to "train" his team. I feel like the MC is carrying the idiot ball. He is acting too stupidly for it to make sense. He obviously knows how powerful time dilation is.
If I ever found a place that has 8x time dilation, while aging at only 1/8 speed, I would NEVER give that up. I would move there immediately. I would have used the [Mirage] skill to make that rift entrance completely undetectable.
MC is acting like a cringe loser. He's giving gifts to a girl he barely knows worth around 1.5 million dollars. This girl he likes, isn't even dating him. He keeps wearing his stupid mask because he's too much of a pussy to show his face.
Why are they not grinding rifts? Like what the hell are they all doing in that stupid mansion? They seem to be doing nothing. They talk about "practicing", but they don't actually do anything.
There is an event coming up that involves closing a whole bunch of Rifts. That means that there are WAY TOO MANY RIFTS, and they need to close some, instead of farming them. So why are they not going to all these Rifts to "train" and "practice" as a team? It makes no sense, and is ultra boring.
The MC is just wasting time. Awakening the butler and the chef, has been the most "exciting" thing in the first 120 pages. Why would I care about these two marginal characters getting some sort of stupid awakened abilities? The chef can now taste food "and know how to use the ingredients in the food" LOL. That's the dumbest ability I've ever heard of.
Also, his fighting strategy vs slimes? It has to be the most stupid shit i've ever read. He has them "jump attack" perfectly into a cooler of dry ice? Give me a fucking break dude. Just use your multiple ensnaring rituals.
Adding all these characters has just watered everything down. The plot is absent, and all we get is annoying yapping and constant explaining of things. I don't care about any of these other people. They aren't likable, they seem like cardboard cutouts, and Sarah is just annoying.
Explanations of why guns and bullets wouldn't kill monsters, are laughably stupid. They would "run into issues when monsters are over level 10", "if their defenses are too high, or they were too quick and aggressive". Really? lvl 10? YOU are lvl 26. I don't see how you don't get killed by a bullet. The main character has nothing that would stop a bullet. The MC fought and killed enemies in the lvl 30s and 40s in the epic rift, and I don't see how a bullet wouldn't kill those people/mobs either.
After doing absolutely nothing for a whole month after coming back, the MC and Sam would no longer be the highest level people. He gave up the epic rift, which was his most gigantic advantage on everyone. Someone else can go into the epic rift and make just as much progress as he did in 7 days. He sold the rift in like 1 week. High level adventurers would immediately reserve spots. Then in the next 3 weeks, with time dilation they would have spent 6 months inside the rift leveling. That's what actual powerlevelers would have done. They'd be lvl 40 or 50 by now. Instead, this MC is still being touted as "the most powerful", and Sam as the "highest level of anyone on Earth". Which BTW what? How could they possibly know that. Rifts are forming all over the world, and we only know about stuff happening near one town/city.
Is he giving up all of his advantages, just for plot contrivance? That's what it looks like. The author just wants others to gain power, so the MC is carrying the idiot ball.
Sam is older than 18 years old (biological age with time dilation). Yet everyone keeps treating him like he's 11. What the hell is going on with that? Alex thinks to himself that Sam is "almost half our age"... WHAT? So you are saying Alex is 36? I feel like the age stuff is all messed up. Maybe in some rough draft he used to be younger? The ages and how they treat this "kid" don't match. You do not constantly "ruffle" the hair of an 18 year old like he's a tiny kid... It doesn't make sense. Sam is an ADULT.
The "Lootparty" is total nonsense. Nobody would wait that long to look at loot. After every single rift you would immediately look at the loot, and see who can best use it. Why? Because you want to be in the best possible gear for the next Rift. NOBODY would wait 8 rifts, to then sort through all the rewards. Each rift takes 1-2 days, then they rest at least 1 day, They spent around 20 days not looking at loot. And you are telling me the whole group did this? They spend days lounging around the mansion between every run, they have plenty of time to look at loot. Nobody would even do this in a video game. Imagine saving up your loot in WoW for 20 days, before distributing. LOL. Doing it in reality, with life or death consequences? LMAO
Why are they not just buying everything off of the auction house? They have a ton of wealth. Why would they rely on drops at all? Sell everything, and just buy exactly what they need right at the start. They are getting all these useful drops off of common dungeons. Common dungeon loot would be all over the auction house.
Stuff not making sense just happens constantly. I could list hundreds of things. Why did Alex think that Rylan is not D Rank yet during their fight? "I didn't think he'd already have reached D rank yet". The last time he saw him was 3 weeks ago in the bar. He was already lvl 29 then. That's literally 1 level from getting to D rank. D rank upgrade happens almost instantaneously.
I actually really like the magic system and research. The second half of the book has been a lot better than the 1st half.
The only reason the MC doesn't get killed is because of plot armor. As a mage he has horrible physical stats. Why does he not try to get a shield spell? He knows they exist. He is so vulnerable. Any stealth human or monster can easily kill him. Or anyone who can get close to him.
Even 83% into the book, he still has no way to deal with anyone, unless they are miles away from him. "Look at me i'm so powerful, look at all my cool spells n' stuff, guys i'm so strong, guys i'm not going to follow the guild or the HA anymore because i'm so strong guys, the guild is so rotten, the HA is so rotten, i'm so cool and strong, look at me". One blade in the back and he's dead.

Big and awesome
So this is a pretty big read. which is good, because this is such a good book. Alex is of course, a baby magician genius. But that doesn't mean everything's easy. He puts in the hard work and has to put up with bad people. Aggression is good, but there's always another obstacle. There were some points where I was disappointed in alex's reaction and action. But I realized that he's not perfect, and that's kind of the point. I'm seriously enjoying the series.I just hope the next book comes out in a timely manner.

It's kind of a slog
Some books try to do too much with two little time they try to fit months of action in two days and they suck for it. This book kind of goes the opposite direction The try to not go too fast which well I appreciate turn parts of this book into a huge slog in the ending is very very far from satisfying especially with the next book 3 months away.

A good read, just like the first one. If you enjoyed the first book, you'll enjoy this one too. It starts off a bit slow and takes until about 50% before it starts picking up speed, but I don't consider that a bad thing.

Spoiler Alert.
The book was great, until about halfway through. Then, the author introduced a much needed power spike only to use very lazy and frankly poor design and just screwed over the character. Won't be finishing this book.

Great second book
Some series take a step backward with the second book, but not this one. Great continuation, like the system taking away a power because it was too strong.
