I Smelled The Soup

What an amazing story! Character building and growth felt rewarding causing me to fly through this way to fast. Story had some great laughs while holding tension throughout. Outstanding Job to both the writer and voice acting / production. Cannot wait to see those defenses in action!

Fun Relaxing Tale

I very much enjoyed this tale! It is a relaxing twist on the litrpg genre. It has town building and character development less fighting and more character development. It was a fun listen and the Performance was excellent. I would recommend this!!!

An honest perspective

The growth of the main character, being the Sword and given the opportunity and tools to change into plow shear. Excellent story with a solid message of self understanding.
Really pleased with my purchase.

Calm and nice

No intense action or anything like that, more like a slice of life book 🙏 hope the next books stick fairly well to the same format 🤞

What a perfect book! 🥰 I loved it!

This had all the earmarks of a great novel, so I got it. And boy it was soooooooo dang cute! There's just something about a cozy litRPG adventure that hits the right spot! Not only was it a cozy it was also about crafting, another favorite bit of lit that I love! Newt and Demon was perfect... Theo was Isekaied straight from the Apocalypse to his new life as a Dronon (basically a Demon) and discovers a partner is already waiting for him. Tresk a Marshling (an axolotl). Theo has an amazing opportunity to be an Alchemist making potions while Tresk is planning on being a rogue a dungeon diver but they both still need to level first. They might even be able to help the town along their journey of leveling. So yeah go grab this audiobook because Christian J Gilliland gives a great nuanced performance and makes E.M. Griffiths book come to life.

Just the Refresh I Needed

The cover hooked me with this romanticized idea of what it might be like to own a shop in the middle of a fantasy realm. I was immediately taken by the main character Theo and his unexpected Journey into this foreign land. Theo drew me in with his establishment as a demon with the opportunity to unlock rare an epic opportunities inside a long abandoned alchemy shop.
By the time he meets his partner, a newt marshling with a unique bonding spell, I knew I was in for a treat. The stats with small things like potions, buildings, and what their properties are has a fun and easy system to get into.
All in all, it was a great story from start to finish with excellent narration, invoking a regal, yet laid-back and entertaining tale of alchemic mastery, friendship, and townbuilding that stays cozy, while offering a glimpse to a very real world of adventurers and dungeons.

Fun cozy fantasy

This fantasy is super cozy and fun to read! I loved the story and the setting. The characters are sweet and kind.

But I’m a little worried about how perfect everything is. It feels like the story is too easy. Friendships and relationships happen way too fast, and no one seems to have any ulterior motives. There is no tension. If the story had more world-building and showed how the characters grew, it would be even better. The story could have had so much more depth and emotional impact.
