When Jack Vance's grandfather is murdered, his dying words are to get Jack to promise to attend Darkthorn Academy.

Jack doesn't like it, but he'll do what is necessary to honor the man who raised him. But surviving Darkthorn Academy won't be easy. Jack will have to make alliances, learn to harness magic, and face dangerous enemies—both alive and dead. If he's lucky, he might just make it to second year.

Darkthorn Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure with gamelit aspects, including a slightly overpowered MC, a dragon companion, and a team of adventurers. It’s inspired by games like Skyrim, Diablo 2 and Fallout.

Fantastic. I can't believe there aren't more reviews on this one. Really solid story with hints of a little bit of everything. Crafting, adventuring, looting, mana system and progression, all without droning on or getting all lewd and weird.

YESSSSS

Loved the story line, a very good job on the game lit not too ”statsy" the reader does a good job on the characters the main females are harder to tell apart.

Very PG. Light on stats. I'd say it's suitable for ages 10 and up. MC is a good role model. This series just has all my favorite elements packed in and it still manages to flow nicely. You don't get bogged down with overdone emotional content or other annoying traits. Progression is steady, comfortable and fun. Not dark. Secondary dramaless romance. Contains elements of cultivation, town building and overcoming racial prejudice.

Great Introduction to LitRPG
