Dungeon Inspector
Dungeons exist all over the world. These areas are the sole providers of magical crystals and, like everything profitable, that means they are heavily regulated. The people who manage them are called Dungeon Inspectors.
The Halfling known as Badger is sent to show the Department of Dungeons' newest Elven recruit the ropes. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Ferrisdae is everything the aged inspector is not. Armed with youthful optimism and a sharp mind, her unwavering enthusiasm quickly gets under his skin.
The new duo has just finished their first inspection when they're called back to headquarters for the most dangerous type of mission the department gives subjugation. The Land Pirate, Raitheus Razorbeak, has stolen something important on his way to the Thousand Year Blizzard—something that may or may not have come from another world.
Though their time together has been turbulent, Badger and Ferrisdae will need to learn to work together if they're to stand a chance at stopping Raitheus before schemes from faraway lands plunge their continent into fire and chaos.
Follow Badger and Ferrisdae on their journey of student and mentor, learning the ins and outs of the job as they help make the world a safer place.

Bureaucracy Made Fun!
I've never considered bureaucracies as amusing entities, but this novel has altered that perception. The trope of the curmudgeonly veteran saddled with a bubbly junior officer gets a thorough workout in this novel; it's well handled, in turns, to both serious and humorous effect.
This is an excellent read; with the LitRPG element suppressed to the point of being nearly invisible. Thus it would probably appeal to those who do not care for LitRPG stories.
I hope there is a sequel because I would enjoy reading more of Badger's and Ferrisdae's adventures.

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.
Incredibly funny, great idea. Really enjoyed this take on the "dungeon" storyline. However, it is not a 4 stars because I totally despise the Elf character. Can't stand immature airheads who suffer from oral diarrhea and are disrespectful toward others. Other than that, it was a great read. Hopefully, they are not part of the second book, jumping into that one right away. If they are part of the 2nd book, I will drop the series because I can't stand them.
On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Found this off another author recommendation and I'm very happy with it. It was a cozy bite size read, excellent dialogue, solidly imaginative plot. I hope others pick it up, and I'll certainly read if the author decides to publish something with more meat.

I didn’t really get along with the gimmick, or the main character. If they work for you it’s otherwise well-written.
