In Corps InterFusion: A Fantasy LitRPG Academy Adventure, Jonathan Brooks delivers a thrilling weak-to-strong LitRPG tale. Larek, a Fusionist recovering from a near-fatal battle, faces a formidable challenge: the Scission Interception Corps (SIC), a powerful organization determined to crush his burgeoning Volunteer group. Threatened by both the SIC and the Gergasi Enclave, Larek must leverage his newly acquired skills and knowledge to overcome overwhelming odds. This isn't just a fight for survival; it's about forging a unified force. Larek's journey involves strategic maneuvering, character progression, intense crafting, and the ultimate goal of interfusing the SIC and Volunteers into a single, powerful entity—a feat far more complex than simply eliminating his enemies.
Review Corps InterFusion
Oh my gosh, I absolutely devoured Corps InterFusion! As a huge fan of LitRPG and progression fantasy, this book completely hit the spot. From the get-go, Jonathan Brooks throws you right into the thick of things – Larek's recovery, the brewing conflict with the Scission Interception Corps (SIC), the looming threat of the Gergasi – it's all so engaging. The world-building is fantastic; the magic system, based on "Apertures" and "Fusion," is unique and cleverly integrated into the narrative, making it feel both innovative and internally consistent. I especially appreciated how the author explained the mechanics without bogging down the pacing.
The LitRPG elements are expertly woven into the story, never feeling tacked on or overwhelming. Watching Larek's stats and skills climb, seeing his crafting prowess develop – it's incredibly satisfying. It's a classic underdog story, but with a refreshing twist. Larek's not just getting stronger physically; he's strategically outmaneuvering his opponents, learning to adapt and lead, which I found really compelling. The character progression felt natural and earned, reflecting his struggles and triumphs. The action scenes are well-written and exciting, keeping the adrenaline pumping throughout.
What really impressed me is the ambition of the plot. The whole "interfusion" concept – merging the old SIC with Larek's Volunteers – is clever and adds a layer of complexity beyond simple good-versus-evil. It’s not just about brute force, it's about political maneuvering, negotiation, and understanding the motivations of different factions. The stakes feel genuinely high, leaving you on the edge of your seat wondering how Larek will navigate this incredibly challenging situation.
I've seen some mixed reactions to the epilogue, and I can understand why some readers found it a bit… convenient. Personally, while I wouldn't call it my favorite part, it didn't detract significantly from my enjoyment of the overall story. It felt like a natural progression, setting up potential conflicts for the next installment. And speaking of the next installment – I NEED it! The ending left me with so many questions and a desperate need to know what happens next.
Overall, Corps InterFusion is a fantastic addition to the series. It’s a thrilling read with engaging characters, a unique magic system, satisfying progression, and a plot that keeps you guessing. If you enjoy LitRPG, strong MC arcs, and a healthy dose of action-packed fantasy, this book is a must-read. I can confidently recommend it to anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story with a compelling narrative and engaging characters. The world Jonathan Brooks has created is rich and detailed, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Larek's journey.
