About this listen

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny.

Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero riddled city in the world, Perry's never felt...adequate. He's got no talent for magic, and not a scrap of superpowers to his name.

When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother...

Maybe there's a way he can do both...

Comparable to dungeon crawler carl

If you like dungeon crawler Carl you will like this book. Soundbooth does an awesome job with the performance, and the characters are great.

Cute

It was nice. Not great but I enjoyed listening to the whole thing. A lot better than a bunch of famous litrpg books with high reviews I've tried. I'll buy the next one when it's released.
The narration was great. I usually dislike having multiple narrators but this one worked well.

It hits all the right notes

This is easily one of my favourite books this year.

Industrial Strength Magic is a weird mix of genres. It's a comedy that made me laugh out loud repeatedly. It's a superhero novel that's tongue in cheek about itself. It's a coming of age story that looks at teens dealing with parents in a surprisingly mature way. It's a post-apocalyptic novel that isn't depressing. And it's a LitRPG that doesn't overwhelm you with statistics and character sheets.

It has an eclectic mix of characters that sound absurd when you mention them out loud, all voiced distinctly and expertly by the four narrators. The chemistry between the characters is so well done that you can imagine they are real people. And although the book goes back and forth between serious and funny, it somehow manages to blend them together so neither feels jarring. Finally, it has a plot that makes you excited to keep listening for...just...one...more...chapter!

I looked at some of the author's other series and passed on them - but now I am going to go back and give them a try. This book was just that good. You should listen to it.

Jacob Tanner Coded

I know the narrator is a part of it, but I couldn’t help myself from thinking that the sense of humour was Tanner-esque. Cool system, great story, awesome world. Looking forward to number two!

An absolute gem of an audio book

This audio book is amazing in my opinion. It has it all! An amazing performance from the narrators witch really adds depth to the audio and an other great story from Macronomicon. This is a interesting mix of super hero and post apocalyptic. The world building is seamless and consistent and the characters are all unique and interesting. If you want to see what life is like in a semi distopian super hero/fantasy world this is the book for you.

S+ Tier Production & Story

Incredible narration and use of audio cues. From the change of volume and addition of echoes to signify inner monologue,to the guttural monster voices, the voice acting was amazing. It should be the benchmark for similarly written books.

The story was great.The "magic/power system" is both fantastical and rooted in science (fiction) to give the illusion of complexity when most of the time you could get a *shrug* 'it just works' . The MC is VERY similar to the authors other work in the series "Wake of the Ravager". Hes cool, calculating, charming and capable of incredible cruelty which is only held back by a thin line of ethics. It's REALLY hard to write characters like this without making me roll my eyes every fifth page but Macro does it again. Why more people don't read his books ill never know.
