If you like LitRPG series, I've been listening to "He Who Fights With Monsters" by Shirtaloon on Audible. Will probably animate it if I ever find a way around my executive dysfunction. cri

It's a bit mature, likely better for adult readers/listeners, with a good balance of comedy and tragedy.

Without spoiling too much, the first book opens with the protagonist waking up nude and hairless in the middle of a hedge maze.

      A novel (or series) in which the protagonist is in a world that operates like a game (e.g. skill points, XP for kills, explicit quests, resource management, etc.) and is aware of the game-like mechanics.

      I don't know what a stub is, but I only listened to the Audible version because my husband already had it.

      Going forward I'll probably grab it from whatever indie publisher the author goes with.

        It was originally posted on RoyalRoad then most of the chapters were removed from there for Amazon publishing

    I quite liked the audiobooks. As long as the author wasn't talking about real places and politics, I thought it was a pretty good read, and I quite liked the introspective bits. Anytime it was about real world politics however, it was very radlib at best.
