The explosive (literally) isekai adventure series continues with more tech, more challenges, and more goblins, as Chris’s chaotic countdown to launch begins.
Chris thought he had it all. But then his dreams of space travel ended in the worst way possible, and he was reincarnated as the goblin king of Rava. Now he leads a loyal-but-pathetic gang of blue-furred boneheads. And with his smarts, a tech tree gifted by the enigmatic System, and his army of extremely eager if accident-prone followers, he’s managed to drag them all out of the muck and into an industrial age of combustion machines.
Known throughout the land as King Apollo, Chris is on a royal roll. As their science evolves, his minions are growing smarter—ish. And he’s made some powerful allies and defeated some piggish enemies. Finally, in his aims to unite all the goblin tribes, he’s also inadvertently—and unwillingly—founded the Church of the Right Angle.
But a growing kingdom needs food. So now King Apollo (err, Chris) must lead a convoy of his best and brightest to locate a source before his goblins start eating their own feet. The trek will lead him into dangerous territories, where clans of curious and noble orcs claim hunting grounds through a brutal contest-slash-death-race called the Stampede. If he wants to keep reaching for the stars, he may have to put some people in the ground first . . .
The hit humorous sci-fi fantasy series—with almost two million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
Praise for My Big Goblin Space Program
“This lighthearted fantasy LitRPG novel begins Chris’s journey of learning how his new life works, interfacing with the universe, and stopping at nothing to achieve his dream.” —Booklist
Fun ride. I enjoy the humor. I thought the orcs were great. What is a little odd is the goal. Is going to space enough to drive a book. Sorta. Do you want a bit of a bigger picture, more worth while heroic goal. Well turns out that was sort of stapled on in book three.
The wish fulfillment here I think is can a modern, educated person actually bring a technology revolution to medieval times. The answer is no unless you have a goblin tech of course. Still long term I wonder if he goes beyond earth.
The other thing I enjoy is the choices he makes on upgrades are always different from what I would choose. Oddly, this makes the book more interesting.
The second volume of this rather unusual Isekai sees the hero and his goblin city master a range of new technologies, battle more monsters, and make new alliances in the quest of King Apollo to build a space program from scratch. All very amusing.
Continue to enjoy this. Warhammer 40k Orc Tech vibes, just fun. I enjoyed the introduction of Orcs to the goblin mix, as well as the gradual expansion of the world and the goblin tech tree.
