Archmage Status (Action! Magic! LitRPG! Isekai!)

Alex is an ordinary guy who wakes up lashed to an altar in a remote temple, in a fantasy world of a thousand islands. There are strange monsters, magic hatchets, arcane powers, and a motley crew of allies. Action, humor, and progression, too! Book 1 is complete, at about 160,000 words, and I just started Book 2. If you enjoy litRPG and isekai, give this one a shot! What to expect: * A steady build while Alex gains power. No OP. * Violence and action, but sweetness and caring too: no sociopathic bloodshed.  * The vast majority of chapters follow Alex. Very little multiple POV. * The rare death of a sympathetic character. (Sorry!) Plot armor is limited. * No harem.  * Alex tries to be logical, but he's very human and not great at math. * Good writing. Because I'm a good writer! But imperfect editing, because I'm trying to keep up the release rate. * Nothing groundbreaking, storywise, but loads of fun!
