The Magician's Burden
You get to have fun, too, like playing in chess tournaments, sparring, reading at the library, exploring necromancer’s caves, exploring the woods, and finding romance with the other villagers.
"The Magician's Burden" is a 225,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Samuel Harrison Young, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
• Play as male, female, or non-binary; romance men, women, both, or no one at all
• Three different kinds of magic for you to choose from: stealth, light, or dark
• Dozens of stats detailing your skills, knowledge, attributes, relationships, and inventory
Oh, yeah. You’re also hijacked by a demon named Zaleth.

It is a good story. I like all the paths and traits that you could choose to go and develop. The choices build your personality as you go and open unique choices late game. Most importantly I enjoyed it everytime I replayed it( over 10 times ) and never got bored. It has crazy stupid things, fun, sensitive stuff to do and also each part is like another story yet slowly building one story. It is very well worth your time. It costed a bit high than most out there but was worth now that I read it.
I loved this story. I've been waiting for one like this for awhile. I am really looking forward to Magician's Enigma. A few things to work on for the next part. There are a few minor spelling/grammar mistakes. Also the description is a bit of a repeat, I've been to Violet's house 3 times all with the same description. I know it's hard but try to point things out that you didn't before. You've picked my interest in this story though. Thank you for writing it
It should be less expensive. You should be able to play the full game free of charge, but just incorporate the ads in a more profitable fashion. This is the mistake. The game is only free for two chapters and I wasn't even aware of this until it was too late. This makes the game not enjoyable for the user with money constraints. If this wasn't the case it would make the game exciting and extremely enjoyable, and I would even recommend it to friends.
great story, solid characters. felt a little short but that might be due to it being such a good read that I just want more. also, when is the sequel coming out?? I can't find anything online which is never a good sign.
Loved the story but it's a little unfair of u to make us love the story, tell us there's a sequel coming -to make us wait in anticipation for that. But then, we're just waiting for ages and u have forgotten or given up on creating a sequel. I saw comments about the same on Reddit where other players have enquired about the sequel. Honestly it's disappointing. Makes me wish I hadn't tried out the game in the first place. Are we even getting a sequel for this ?
Immensely enjoyable! Even if it is largely a set-up for the sequel. Longer than I thought it would be and with oodles of choices. I definitely recommend this game. :)
It was a amazing story love how you interact with everyone and what you choose has effects. And I hope there's a second book please.
A bit slow-pokey and juvenile at times. It is still a good read, looking forward to the sequel.
love the story but your games aren't very good with replayability so I don't know if I want to buy the full game
Its a very good game to play cause it gives my mind the chance to image the sorroundings and what the characters look like
Another game you have to keep starting over to get an out come you want for that you get a one star from menand it looks like i'm not the only one lol
Its really good but pls dont make such ending that keeps you hanging.
The story is too shallow and I dislike wimpy mc. Could be better...
$5 paywall I haven't paid but I really really like this so far
Bad game, don't waste money/time.
Aqesome story. Loved it good job
Loved it, can't wait for the 2nd part of it
I think that talking about Killian's father should have been tied to your intelligence, not your, what was it, charisma? It was something you deduce so I think it should have been intelligence, that's my only complaint.
This book is great. I hope the sequel comes out soon
Love it. Still waiting for the second 😁
COOOOL story I'll give you that😍😍 I can't wait for the second book!!
Not good not bad. Somewhere in between.
Multiple descriptions are reused and it can get a little repetitive. The story itself seems interesting but lacks character consistency and development. Most of the dialogue also sounds unnatural. The romantic options are not bad, but the development of their interests is awkward at best. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read and has a lot of potential, but not really worth the price I paid.
