About this listen
Never trust a dragon—even Jonathan knows that.
With his peaceful life as a scholar far behind him and his ever-growing mountain of debt to the Department of Taxation hanging over him, Jonathan can't afford to play it safe. If he wants to get his castle back, he'll need to take a few risks. At least he's not facing danger alone.
Whether it's his faithful butler, a former paladin, a shapeshifter who might have gotten stuck, a land-loving merman, a wandering werewolf, a huntress in disguise, or a raccoon who can remodel the landscape, Jonathan will have plenty of company as he runs (or is dragged) headlong into danger. And he'll need every bit of help he can get if he wants to make it through their next mission alive.
For once, Jonathan isn't the one being rescued. Nope. He and the others have been asked to brave the perils of a legendary dragon's labyrinth to help another vampire prove that love really does conquer all. Or maybe it doesn't when "all" includes elementals, zombies, and only the gods know what else. After all, nothing says probable death like a dragon with a smile.
Oh well. Jonathan might not be a fan of probable death… but he'll take it over certain death any day of the week.

Are you being attacked by a pissed-off unicorn? Has an angry basilisk slithered into your camp? Is a dragon about to eat you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you. Our world is full of monsters. Some of them are happy to live and let live, but the majority of them are vicious jerks. If you want to survive, then you need to know what to do when things go wrong. Don't settle for speculation or the ramblings of a tavern drunk. Get the facts about monsters straight from a legendary hero who has fought just about all of them.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

Simon is the best delivery boy that Mr Edwards’s restaurant has ever had. He’s on time every time, and he’s gotten nothing but good reviews. But he needs more money. His mother’s medical treatment won’t pay for itself, and his father is already working three jobs to try to make ends meet. But it might just be his lucky day: Mr. Edwards has another job for him. It’s more delivery work, but not the usual kind. You might even say that it’s out of this world. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, and the pay is fantastic.

Headline for my review
While I enjoy the overarching story and most of the characters, the author really goes on super long and pointless tangents constantly, explaining the most obvious concepts. Usually multiple times. There's an entire hour long chapter that could be boiled down to someone explaining that "werewolves regenerate real good" which we already knew, as its been shown in actual practice many, many times beforehand. Theres probably several more hours in total devoted to explaining that party composition is important and that knowledge is in fact good actually. The author really loves to show and then tell and then tell some more for good measure. Almost every tutorial tier explanation a character gives for a basic concept is something the reader has likely already got through common sense, familiarity with fantasy and/or actually having it described in use beforehand anyways. It doesn't help that the main character has two people living in his head that just love to exposition dump constantly because they already know everything about how the world works. There's really no mystery and not much tension to the world, or at least there could be before an ancient vampire king explains everything. The constant whiplash from stopping the flow of the story for explaining shit is extremely aggravating.
There's also an addition of the very mary sue unkillable teenaged girl who will just one shot every monster they come across and knows everything about every monster in the world. Not a huge fan. Whenever the party comes across a monster you can just skip over all of the actions the other characters make because you know Mary will just kill the monster with a single arrow anyways.
The narrator's fake posh accent he uses for half the characters is really tiresome too.
This is definitely going to be my last attempt at the series.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
