Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true—everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones.

The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer—a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel. Armed with his grandfather’s trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime! It is sure to be a long and dangerous road, fraught with danger! And it all starts with a simple test—reach Level 5 in the dungeon called the "newbie zone" and earn the right to become a full-fledged adventurer!

However, such things get hopelessly derailed when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the first time. A fateful meeting that would inevitably lead his life in a direction he never even dreamed of!

Content warning: Profanity, Gore, Sexual Themes.

This is a very different take on LitRPG! If you're expecting a traditional story about a gamer that gets sucked into a VRMMORPG and works to level up, this is not that type of book. It doesn't really have a traditional story structure or an antagonist. It's just a bawdy tale about a monster's adventures in a world that happens to operate with the same mechanics as a game.

What this book did have was humor, and plenty of it. It was a really entertaining and fun read. The characters were hilarious, and had me snort laughing out loud. The story flowed right along, the main character was unexpected, and the whole thing was well-written. Ugh, I resisted hard, but yes, I'll say it. This book was tasty.

Jeff Hays' performance was outstanding, it really suited the book. He had great comedic timing and just delivered those deadpan lines perfectly. He performed different voices for each character, including female voices, and there were some awesome sound effects. It just brought the whole thing up a notch, the book would have been a fun read, but the narration made it a hilarious listen.

Although I loved most of it, I wouldn't recommend reading this book if you're easily offended. It spends a lot of time satirizing women (God I hope it's satire). I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Really Entertaining

I hate when people give 5 stars for average stuff. Like a Fantastic Sams that gives them selves 5 stars. They are not a 5 star resort.

This book does deserve 5 stars. It’s not a below average hair cut place but instead an above average story with a fantastic performance

Ok This is worth 5 stars

The cover of the book and the title were just enough to catch my eye. The synopsis was vague enough to give me a glimpse of familiarity and the 11 credits had to go somewhere. “Might as well, Can’t dance”.

The story is unique, quirky, and for anyone who ever played pen and paper RPG especially a GM (if your brain put in General Manager, quit reading now) .

It will be a story I will listen to again, and with 6 credits still looming I might have to try book 2.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

odd and at times excellent story performed magically by the Great Jeff Hayes (bravo maestro!). turned weirdly r rated and tortury for a few pages--not for kids. still very original. ill give the sequel a chance to clean itself up but there is no need to describe the ravishing of a slave by a treasure chest in explicit terms.

fun but a little needlessly r rated at times
