The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn’t easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life.
Now, a contest draws young elites to the city of Greenstone, competing for a grand prize. Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer.
While the young adventurers are caught up in competition, the city leaders deal with revelations of betrayal as a vast and terrible enemy is revealed. Although Jason seems uninvolved, he has unknowingly crossed the enemy’s path before. Friends and foes made along the way will lead him to cross it again as inevitable conflict looms.

Cat gives this Audiobook 4 meows for the story & 4 meows for the performance; HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS 2: A LitRPG Adventure by Shirtaloon gets 4 meows overall...
This is a book two and should be read/ listened to in order. It picks up from the first book. I have not listened to the first so I did not know who Jason was, how he got to where they are or how he became a monster fighter. I did not take off anything in my review for anything that affected since that was on me.
This story is about Jason and a group of people that fights monsters. Each team member has special powers they accumulate along the way called essences. These become a part of the person and some can even be used to help team members. They also have to have awakening stones to wake up the powers they find or earn or buy.
In book one Jason captures ( saves) a thief and her friend. He gives her the choice to flee or become his indentured servant and part of the adventurers.
T by err are so many cool characters in this book. I loved Sophie and Jason. Jason is so cocky and funny and Sophie really badass.
The storyline is interesting and the plots good too. There is tons of action.
The narration is good. I loved the acting of the characters. The narrator had his job cut out as there are so many and as many female as male.
This was my only issue with the narration as some of the female voices came off sounding like male or a bit odd.
If you like fantasy, sci-fi, action/adventure and twists this is for you!
In the middle of penning a dry academic paper, Shirtaloon had a revelation: he desperately needed to write something very silly. To his surprise and delight, he found a warm and welcoming audience in the world of online serialized fiction. Transitioning his work into actual books, he is continually startled at the appetite for his particular blend of high magic, wild adventure and absurd nonsense. Success has allowed him to fund an excessive board game collection he doesn’t have time to play because he’s always writing. The unplayed games sit on the shelves behind him as he works, silently judging.
