About this listen

Welcome back, Bargain Hunters! Stock up. Lock down. And brace yourself for the sale of a lifetime.

With the shadow of the Flayed Monarch looming ever closer, Dan must prepare the store and himself for the battle to come. To stand a chance, he’ll need to expand his operations, broker a precarious trade deal with the Delvers of Howlers Hold, and transform his stash of relics into an arsenal of magical war crimes.

But first, he’ll need to carve a bloody path through the heart of the 24th floor—Eternal Suburbia. A hellish, never-ending labyrinth of tidy lawns, cookie-cutter houses, and homicidal homeowners. Few survive the lawnmower men, the feral Karens, the ever-ravenous Kannibal Kids, or the tyrannical HOA, which reigns supreme with an iron fist of petty rules and bloodstained bylaws.

With a gaggle of increasingly untrustworthy allies, and dangers lurking behind every perfectly trimmed hedge, Dan will need to do the impossible if he wants to beat the system and live to fight another day.

The well written and funny story of a capitalist dream.

The writer doesn't write friendship through adversity, he writes a world where he is the king of capitalism! The store owner, and the world is filled with his retail workers. Willing, capable slaves who adore him and are just incredibly grateful to have a job.

He really lost my goodwill when he kept the ONLY SHOWER all for himself. He even had TWO. I kept waiting for a line about the shower turning profit, but no. His shower(s). HIS.

He is MAIN CHARACTER.

Capital M. Capital C.

Never even lets his "friends" use them. The MC sees other people as tools, not friends. But that's realistic for who would want to own a store in a dungeon, and who would survive in this world. The unrealistic is that nobody calls him out.

Great example of an Isekai
