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.
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.
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
