About this listen

LitRPG fans: Noobtown is back!

In the ninth book in Ryan Rimmel's fantastical Noobtown series, Jim has a new threat to face. As he questions how to kill a nearly invincible Elder Demon, he also has to regroup his allies and try to fix his ailing War Badger. Can he do all that, considering it's also time to finally answer for his many crimes against chickens?

What happens when the main boss isn't the final boss?

Jim defeated the Dark Overlord, but that wasn't enough. The Dark Overlord was just a pawn for an even greater threat. Michael, the Elder Demon, has restarted the War in Heaven. Meanwhile, Jim was spending quality time with Shart, trapped in the Walker Orb. Now, Jim's allies are spread all over Ordinal, and the world is breaking apart.

In order to survive, Jim needs to rebuild his class, find his allies, and save the world yet again. His plans start small, but there are, of course, problems. A death cult has taken over Windfall, a Faceless Queen is running the Castle, and Badgelor has a cardiac issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

But Jim isn't defeated. He will save Windfall and the World. Because he's the Mayor of Windfall.

Another fantastic addition to the story of Jim the mayor of noobtown, full of the tongue in cheek humour we've come to expect from Ryan, and delivered expertly by Johnathan. Love the nods to other series in the same genre.

ohhhh that hit the spot!

Story should have ended last book, the switch oto new plot line and new system is too much and made me not even want to finish it
