A young girl dreams of becoming a hero, levels up her inventory skill, and recruits other quirky side characters to go beat the demon king. Most jokes land, especially regarding NPCs surrounding the quest (my favourite being an angst teenage fairy); others don’t quite, such as with Dirk. But it’s a clever novella concept that plays into its strengths.

It’s also narrated extremely well for the audible version and it’s well worth the $7 CAD price point.
