About this listen

After accidentally becoming Lord of Gloomwood Manor, countless enemies seek to kill Drake and take his title.

All he wanted was some beer and a pack of donuts. Instead, Drake got abducted, tossed into a fantasy world, and almost ritually executed by a pro-wrestler monk with performance issues.

After stabbing his rather idiotic kidnapper to death, he magically inherits the old fart’s massive mansion, servants, mountains of gold, and deadly magic powers... which would be great if it also didn’t paint a giant target on his back.

Now that he’s the Lord of Gloomwood Manor, enemies across the world want to claim Drake's life and title. Before that happens, he must learn to use his powerful magic, win his people’s loyalty, and fake being powerful until he actually becomes so powerful no one dares challenge him.

The first volume of a humorous adventure fantasy featuring cat girls, battle maids, political machinations, and a habit of setting the worst isekai tropes on fire and tossing them in the garbage.

it's too stuck on one aspect so he can do one thing no one can don't just focus on that

This was a story with a lot of potential, but suffers from inexperienced writing. A good editor could have helped get rid off the repetitious dialogue and unnecessary details while describing every single step of daily tasks.

On the positive note, the story is actually interesting and while a little clumsy, the plot is well paced and has promise for future books. Our MC is likable if a little preachy and I don't really mind how quickly he becomes overpowered. Im interested to see where it goes so i would get the next book if it came out.

The narration was really good.

Promising but wobbly execution
