Mother of Learning: ARC 1 by Domagoj Kurmaić, nobody103
4.0

Somehow, no idea how, I missed the big selling point right there on the blurb: the time loop. I just picked this up on a recommendation, I think.

So for a few chapters I was thinking this was maybe gonna be a less interesting take on the kind of stuff Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality covers, or perhaps something like John Bierce's Mage Errant series.

Nope.

Time loop.

It's very well executed given the challenge of keeping things interesting as the loop repeats, and it doesn't overcomplicate its lore or magic systems so you can focus on keeping the timey-wimey stuff straight rather than getting bogged down in extraneous worldbuilding.

I'm gonna go straight to where the whole serialised thing is available for free and just keep going, I think - it's that engaging.
