Academic ConFusion
As Larek uncovers the secrets of his past, he soon discovers that such secrets were probably best kept hidden…
After being kicked out of Crystalview Academy by Dean Wilburt, Larek and his new friends are forced to journey south where he is to continue his studies in yet another Academy named Copperleaf. Along the way, the Logger-turned-Fusionist expands his knowledge of the world and its people – and the world slowly learns about Larek in return.
Arriving at Copperleaf, the fledgling Fusionist soon learns that his new Academy is just as dangerous as Crystalview, but for altogether different reasons. Despite the danger, Larek also has the opportunity to expand his skill in creating Fusions in ways he had never dreamed of before – and there is no Dean ready to punish him for exercising that skill, either.
Unfortunately, dangerous information about who he is and his place in the world will be revealed to him, further muddying the waters of his academic experience. The shock and confusion this dangerous information produces will challenge Larek to new heights as he works to keep his secrets from those who would use them against him.
This weak-to-strong MC story contains LitRPG elements such as character progression and statistics, as well as a heavy crafting emphasis. No explicit sexual content or harems.

Jonathan Brooks
In the fast-evolving realm of LitRPG and Dungeon Core fiction, few names have carved out territory as boldly—or as prolifically—as Jonathan Brooks. Known for weaving complex magic systems with the logic of game mechanics, Brooks has become a touchstone for readers who crave fantasy grounded in strategy, growth, and immersive world-building.
It all began with Dungeon Player in 2017, a debut that hinted at the intricate worlds and evolving systems that would become his signature. But Brooks didn’t stop there. He’s since written more than 70 novels, building expansive series like Dungeon Crafting, Magical Fusion, and Earthen Contenders, each exploring what it means to level up—whether as a character, a dungeon, or a sentient core learning how to survive in hostile worlds. His latest venture, The Labyrinth World series, continues this evolution with a fresh spin on multiverse mechanics and layered storytelling.
Magical Fusion
Magical Fusion consists of eight books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
