Reincarnated As A Hydra (Book 1 Chapters [1] - [80])
The only thing the mage remembers is his death. He sees echoes of a war long lost and a fallen city vanished in the sands of time. He died but now he breathes again? He finds himself in a new form and given a new name and someone to protect. The mage turned hydra is bonded to the girl he now calls master. Bjorn lost his old life and when Freja’s life is threatened he will do everything in his power to protect her and maybe find his memories along the way.
"The Chronicles of a Scalebound Sage: Reincarnated as a Hydra" follows Bjorn as he protects Freja, his new master. She is scorned, beaten and disowned from her family for being a failure in the arcane arts. The two must lean on each other for strength to survive in a world of monsters and magic. This is a LitRPG adventure where every victory is a hard fought and death is quick to claim those that lack resolve.

Wandmaker (Book 2 Ongoing)
An ancient power stirs, sensing the impending return of the True Immortals. As the signs of untold destruction echo across the world, the urgent need for a new Wandmaker arises. They will be a beacon of hope in the turbulent time ahead. The veil between realms grows thin, and beings from beyond begin to awaken, their eyes fixed on the Lower Planes.
Tanisha, Bjorn and Joha finally leave the Yuhia behind to travel to more peaceful lands. Their journey leads them to the floating human nation of the Force Isles. Along the way, they encounter fellow travelers and seize opportunities to trade their wares. However, the path to the Force Isles is fraught with peril. The once-safe passage has been corrupted by chaotic magic, transforming a routine voyage into a treacherous expedition.

The story is fine and has potential. The only real reason for the review is to let potential readers know that the synopsis and tags are quite misleading and stop others from thinking this is a story about the Hydra MC. The synopsis and tags lead you to think the story follows Bjorn, the non human MC who is a reincarnated mage, but it really isn’t his story at all. Once you get to about Ch 30 or so Bjorn’s impact on the story completely diminishes and he gets essentially no screen time. He basically becomes less than a side character. At some point he’s only mentioned every 3-4 chapters. It’s clear that as the story progressed the author changed his vision for the story. The real story is really about the female lead who happens to have a familiar. Which is fine and on its own might be exactly what you’re looking for. But I know a lot of people like myself absolutely love the non humanoid MCs and this story was recommended on Reddit for that but it’s really not that at all.

Not like story. Tag say Litrpg, but story not litrpg, has no real system, just little menu for Supposed Main Character to see his "stats". There no influence of system to character.
Then Supposed Main Character suddenly not Main Character any much. Then even not Character. Story is lie. Don't trust story.

A solid read. Most monster MC stories I come across quickly devolve into a pattern of: kill stuff > get stronger > meet some kind of antagonist that's too strong to beat > kill more stuff then beat them all while mostly ignoring relationships. This story doesn't do that because there's an actual story to follow, killing isn't the only way to get stronger, and there are TWO protagonists.
The characters have reasons for what they do. Some might be saying that Bjorn (the hydra) isn't a MC because a lot of attention is on Freja, but the alternative would've been a mostly mute monster with only a voice in his head to talk to, so I say the author balanced that well. Freja's side of things is what actually pushes the story along because she has a built up background already while Bjorn is going to start off clueless with no connections and needing time to build up.
The story isn't perfect though since it really falls short on the descriptions for example:
"The first was the small goblin woman in the group. Her green skin, tail and a beauty that would make a super model jealous was a dead give away for the lesser elf." That is her entire description. It's common for light novels to be a bit light on descriptions, but in this case I was left wondering if she was bald and naked.
You might have to put your imagination to more work than in some other stories, but I was enjoying the first book enough that I didn't notice this until much later in the story. Here's hoping book 2 only improves my opinion.

I love this story more than any other I’ve read on these sites. To me, it’s ranked among some of the light-novel greats that have been published and are known the world over. Your writing, characters, and world building really get one invested in the story; I’m unwilling to let go at this point and hope you will continue until I can one day buy physical copies of this book/series. I’m looking forward to seeing Tanasha and Bjorn on my bookshelves someday. Thank you for your excellence!

Really interesting so far great writing and story, relatively still at the beginning but a lot has already happened at chapter 18 as I'm writing this.

The gist of the story is good. World building is fun to read. Characters are have decent individual personalities but the writing style is rough it lacks a sense of feelings the characters and reader should be experiencing. An example is that almost every place MC has visited has no emotional atmosphere to the story. To the MC each place she visits is just that, a place. There is 'no atmosphere of happiness and peace' the perforated the people or 'a place of terror and despair' that spills outwards'. The world changes chaotically but the people do what-they-do with no conviction, spite or remorse. They don't curse God, try to convince themselves or rationalise irrationality mere do as the story decides. Overall a good read if a bit rough. Hope it keeps going.

Great story, really makes me look forward to each new chapter to read what happens next.
The plot is engaging and the characters are decently fleshed out, though more detail here would be appreciated. Rather than this being because the characters are bland, it’s that they’re not, and because I already like them that I want to know more. Great job with the different cultures so far, I like the other races are not just ‘humans with antlers’, but have their own customs face forward. Not an easy thing to write, so thank you for this work.
