Literally one of the cutest adventures I've read in a while. For those who either loved Legends & Lattes or wanted a higher stakes story with that same writing style or flair, this might be something to look into. Shrubley, and his party of misfit monsters are just too adorable, and there are a handful of heartwarming moments throughout the book. I am definitely going to delve into book two once I get through some of these other reads!

I only deducted it 1 star under Quality because there are a few chapters where the world's magic system is explained in great detail. Even though the exposition is given through character dialogue, it does get a bit boring. But I think it's because this is a LitRPG book, so it might be part of the genre to do these sorts of expositive narration.
