About this listen

Born an outcast weakling monster. Destined to be an S-grade hero.

As a monster, Shrubley is forbidden from joining the adventurers guild. In a world where essence artists rank up in power and most monsters are feral beasts, Shrubley is among the weakest of creatures and is treated as an outcast that is worth less than dirt.

With curiosity essence bound to his spirit, Shrubley might be weak, but he's intelligent and determined. Against all the odds, he discovers a loophole from the Druid that gave him life—but there's a deadly catch.

For a chance of ever being accepted as a true adventurer, he must challenge an otherworldly realm threatening to consume everything. A realm rife with dangers and opportunities in equal measure.

With a band of fellow low-tier monsters—a tiny slime, an undead skeleton mage, and a koblin—Shrubley sets off to prove that monsters can be heroes too. Even if he must die trying.

Join Shrubley's perilous journey with his band of misfit monsters as he slowly evolves in power from a weak, hunted creature to a high-rank adventurer who wields a sword and shield with healing druid essences! Expect a diverse cast of monsters with unique monster-race powers, a deep class and color-based magic system, silly puns, and of course a hefty dose of optimism. Perfect for fans of Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons, and listeners of epic progression fantasy, LitRPG, Beastborne Chronicles, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Cradle.

My only critique would be at some points it’s difficult to keep the non-main characters straight, but a minor issue for this fantastic book. The main characters are unique, well crafted, and I laughed in my car several times at their interactions while listening to this audio book. Of course the narration is always on point for this voice actor as well. A+

Blown away by how good this was.

I got this book after reading the description knowing it was going to be a cute little adventure and a nice cozy ride and wow what a ride it was the amazing puns and dad jokes the crazy culture references and the 4th wall knowing what they were doing through was honestly amazing and I loved it all! But damn chapter 39 ripped my heart to shreds, I don't think there's a person out there that cannot at the very least get in their feel listening/reading that chapter. I had to stop everything I was doing to just listen and hold myself together. I cannot wait for the 2nd one to be released on Audible because this is going to be a go to series! It had the same feeling as Legends and Lattes for me when listening and who better to voice it than the man himself Travis Baldree!

WHAT A SURPRISE!!
