Newt and Demon #5
Newt and Demon 5: A Low-Stakes Cozy Fantasy LitRPG
The Southlands Alliance grows by the day. Refugees come to join the ranks of Broken Tuskers. And one last vestige of the Kingdom of Qavell needs to be dealt with.
Thanks to his powerful Alchemist class core, Theo has worked alongside members of the Southlands Alliance to turn a long-neglected tract of land into a prosperous nation. It seems Theo can’t catch a break, pushing the classes he has collected to their limits to serve the needs of the people. The shattering of the heavens might have caused some problems for the Ascendants, but down in the muck of the mortal world, civic projects reign.
Theo and his many allies learn their place in the world, stepping up to be stewards of a potential new world. They’ll have to work hard to make this dream a reality, pooling resources and solving long-standing mysteries. With Qavell looming on the horizon, Theo will do anything in his power to reach a peaceful solution.
The rule of powerful, system-exploiting people from an age long gone might finally be over. Perhaps those with the heart to reshape the world will create a world of peace.
Book 5 in this cozy, low-stakes LitRPG featuring town building and management, charming characters, and a detailed Alchemy System. It's perfect for fans of slice of life progression fantasy like Small-Town Crafter, Village Manager, and Legends & Lattes!

I love settling in for a nice warm cozy...
So great! I enjoyed every minute of it. There's nothin I like better than an Alchemist/Herbalist doin their thing and Theo the Demon Alchemist is golden! Tresk the Axolotl and Theo's Tara'hek/partner in crime, and Alex the goose Theo's bonded familiar keep things interesting! Yeah, it maybe a cozy but that doesn't stop the action or monster waves. Really all Theo wants to do is to keep Broken Tusk safe. By leveling himself and leveling the core buildings in Broken Tusk, he does just that. And since becoming the Archduke of the allience of the other two local cities Rivers and Daub, and Gronro-Dir as well, his work keeps mounting. And his biggest problem is clearing out all the scourge rot ground, that's making everyone ill! Ohhhh and there's that .flying city hellbent on destroying them! Can Theo solve his problems with a potion or three?

Here's a quote that amused me:
"Spit drained his tea, smiled, then ate the cup."

Great Series
This was another great book in this awesome series. I did miss reading along about Fenian in this book, but I did enjoy learning about the various Gods and the backstory of how things came to be. And its a huge mess that they expect Theo to clean-up. I do miss Theo brewing potion and finding his plants and reagents though.
