"The first book in an adventure-packed, hilarious new cultivation series, perfect for fans of Beware of Chicken and Heretical Fishing.
Casey Timmins dies at thirty-two after a lifetime of bad decisions and wasted potential. Instead of oblivion, he wakes up in a cultivation world full of qi, martial arts, and people who somehow survive while doing everything wrong. He has no talent. No rare item. No destiny. Just a teacher's brain, a scientist's mindset, and decades of frustration with people who cannot follow basic instructions. While everyone else chases breakthroughs until their bodies give out, Casey treats qi like a lab experiment instead of a wish. And for the first time, cultivation actually works. Which means the entire world immediately hates it. A genius with fragile pride decides Casey needs to be crushed. A Core Formation master demands he "prove" the method. A dying friend forces him to test everything he believes. Some breakthroughs require logic. Some require pain. Casey is about to get both. If he succeeds, he'll build the strongest Foundation his sect has ever seen. If he fails, he's dead. Cultivation is hard when you do it the stupid way. Casey refuses to."
"The new book in the witty, action-packed WORLD'S STRONGEST WARRIOR LitRPG series, perfect for fans of DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL and HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS, where Chuck encounters an undead nightmare and must do what he does best - cleave through them all one by one.
Chuck Taylor didn't ask to become the kingdom's strongest adventurer. But after soloing cosmic horrors, founding the fastest-growing guild in history, and crafting a sword that cuts through reality, he's used to unexpected upgrades.
So when Lucifer himself appears in Chuck's bedroom at 3AM offering a warzone full of boss-tier enemies and grindable soulstones, Chuck doesn't hesitate. XP is XP.
Welcome to Crowsfall, a nightmare city built from bone, where adventurers pay with trauma, vampires run breakfast joints, and every floor of the dungeon is ruled by a god of death or a demon of lies. Chuck's here to grind both factions.
But the soulstones aren't the only things stacking. Tensions rise. Faction pins evolve. Dungeon keys unlock. All to fight an enemy none of them are prepared to face. Yet.
The grind is back.
The numbers go up.
The enemies respawn.
And the grind has never been this good."
"Chuck Taylor has crushed gods, broken the Tower, and solo'd nightmares that exist outside reality itself. But numbers don't lie, and level 58 is still 28 billion experience points away.
After helping his friends shatter their level caps and destroy the Devourer (again), Chuck sets his sights on the Dragon Lands, an untamed paradise where the monsters are stronger, the XP is massive, and the loot… doesn't exist? Alongside a rotating crew of overachievers, underdogs, and one mushroom with boundary issues, Chuck grinds harder than ever. Group synergy, split EXP, solo testing, optimized routes, even a DPS competition, everything is on the table in his obsessive pursuit of max efficiency. But something strange is happening beneath the numbers. Ancient dragons are watching. Server systems are mutating. Chuck's becoming a legend whether he likes it or not. And when the idea of forming a guild is floated, Chuck finds himself facing a more terrifying challenge than any boss fight: community. Because in the end, maybe the real grind… is friendship. (No, seriously. The EXP boost is insane.)"
"A ticking clock. A dying world. One man's impossible promise.
Nick wanted peace, just a quiet farm, a thriving crew, and a future with Syllia. But when dimensional contagion strikes, infecting her and everyone who's lived too close to his cursed reality, peace dies screaming. Now, with only forty-seven days before Syllia dies, Nick must race across collapsing worlds to gather the five components of a Reality Anchor, a mythical cure said to stabilize existence itself. Every step brings him deeper into the heart of the invasion consuming their realm. Every victory saves strangers he never meant to save. Every day costs him a piece of himself. He doesn't care about destiny. He doesn't care about heroism. He just wants her back. As dimensions rot and time unravels, Nick's desperate quest will decide not only Syllia's fate, but whether reality itself can survive the infection spreading through creation. Because sometimes saving one person means saving everything."
"The second book in an action-packed, epic, and hilarious LitRPG fantasy series about an underdog who was never supposed to be a hero—but when he's forced to manage a cursed magical farm, he proves himself far more resilient (and luckier) than any monster—or god—expected.
Nicholas Parker was supposed to be a hero. Instead, the Magerium Council took one look at his test results, declared him "insufficient," and dumped him on a cursed farm that had killed seventeen previous owners.
That was their first mistake.
Six months later, Nick's running the most revolutionary agricultural operation in the known world. His farm produces food that makes people weep with joy, his workers consider their employment contracts to be spiritual callings, and he's accidentally founded a religion based on proper safety protocols. When he's not optimizing cockatrice egg production or managing his dimensional predator breeding program, he's casually transforming ancient curses into beneficial magical infrastructure.
The problem isn't his success. The problem is that everyone keeps mistaking his practical farming techniques for cosmic intervention. Merchant guilds are declaring economic warfare. Religious extremists are organizing crusades. Government assessors can't figure out how to classify an operation that's simultaneously revolutionizing agriculture and attracting pilgrims from six provinces.
Meanwhile, Nick just wants to work on his farm in peace.
But when a fanatical lord shows up with fifteen hundred troops and a manifested god to eliminate what he calls "unnatural corruption," Nick discovers that the best response to people who think efficient farming is evil might be introducing them to the practical applications of enhanced agricultural strength.
After all, someone has to protect the livestock. And if that means casually eliminating divine champions who interrupt important tasks, well, that's just another aspect of responsible farm management.
Monster Farmer: where cosmic significance meets crop rotation, and the real magic is building something worth defending through the power of treating people with basic human dignity."
"The first book in an action-packed, witty LitRPG series about a regular giu given a farm to cultivate when the world told him he would never be a hero. But when he proves more resourceful than anyone expected, he draws the attention of some very dangerous monsters to his farm…
Nick was just your average overworked accountant…until he got isekai'd and then immediately rejected for "lacking hero potential." Instead of a prophecy or a sword, he's given a rundown farm in a cursed wasteland where seventeen previous owners died horribly. Lucky him.
But Nick isn't as helpless as he looks. With mysterious strength, an eye for optimization, and a knack for flipping curses into perks, he starts rebuilding Blackthorn Farm from the ground up. What was once a death trap becomes a booming operation complete with monster livestock, magical crops, and an eclectic crew that includes a former elven slave turned manager, killer birds for security, and a shape-shifting dragon named Petunia.
As his power grows and the land begins to thrive, Nick draws attention from nobles, mages, and forces that might not be entirely mortal. Blackthorn Farm has secrets tied to a forgotten disaster, and Nick might be the only one who can uncover them…assuming he can survive the attention."
"The third book in the hit LitRPG series, perfect for fans of Beware of Chicken and Dungeon Crawler Carl, where Chuck, an ordinary man thrust into a world full of magic and monsters, finds that gods and demons stand in the way of his deadliest challenge yet...reaching the elusive level 50.
The Tower was only the prologue. The Forgotten Island is the game-changer. And the grind has never been greater.
Chuck Taylor—once an ordinary man, now Sir Charles Taylor, Savior of the Kingdom—has already done the impossible. He conquered the hundred floors of the Tower, defied gods and demons, and pulled a friend back from the void itself. His reward? The cruelest grind yet.
Eight billion experience points stand between him and the fabled milestone of level 50. To breach it, Chuck must take on a royal quest to find the Forgotten Island, an uncharted land of crystalline titans, warped realities, and monsters so strong they make the Tower's greatest horrors look like tutorial mobs.
But before he can face it, he must lead his companions through relentless trials: the nightmare ruins of Mournhold, the dragon lords of shadowed valleys, and rituals that bend the laws of time and space. Only then can he claim passage to the Forgotten Island…where even the system itself begins to break.
There, beneath skies that fracture with light and shadow, Chuck must challenge the Prismatic Devourer, an enemy vast enough to swallow worlds. To win, he'll need more than numbers. He'll need persistence sharpened into legend."
"Return to the action-packed epic fantasy series World's Strongest Warrior as Chuck Taylor battles through the harrowing Tower of the Last God, facing the Seven Sins and Lucifer himself in a gritty adventure to save his closest companion from oblivion.
The grind never ends. The stakes have never been higher.
Chuck Taylor thought he was just getting good. Now he's the only one left.
After losing his closest companion in a catastrophic raid, Chuck sets aside his prized weapon and takes on the impossible: the Tower of the Last God. One hundred floors. No checkpoints. No second chances. No one's ever made it past sixteen.
Armed with backup gear, raw grit, and a new dual-wielding ability, Chuck must conquer twisted trials, face the personifications of the Seven Sins, and outfight the Tower's deadliest champion—Lucifer himself.
The reward? A forbidden artifact that could bring his friend back from oblivion. The cost? Everything.
But Chuck didn't get this far by playing it safe.
Sometimes, the only way out is up."

When Chuck dies and wakes up in a fantasy game world, he discovers that the secret to success isn't heroics or clever tricks—it's sheer grinding persistence.

Armed with his evolving practice sword and an unwavering commitment to making his numbers go up, he tackles elemental dungeons, goblin hordes, and the occasional social interaction with the same cold efficiency.
In a world where most adventurers rush headlong into danger seeking glory, Chuck will be the ultimate grinder, meticulously calculating every copper coin, every experience point, and every decimal place of damage in his single-minded pursuit of perfect stats.
Sometimes, the most powerful weapon isn't magic or heroism. Sometimes, it's just refusing to quit."
