A Base-Building Progression Fantasy perfect for fans of Jake's Magical Market, Delve, and Small-Town Crafter!
Conquering the Dungeon starts and ends at his door.
When Derek is accidentally summoned to another world alongside the chosen "Hero", everything changes.

But as they when in Rome, plunder it like the Visigoths.
So, Derek jumps right in. Whatever it takes. When he chooses to mass produce illegal health elixirs to help climbers, he accidentally kickstarts a movement to transform his humble, lawless tavern would into a powerful depot. Perhaps enough to one day help conquer the labyrinth.
Don't miss the start of a new isekai Progression Fantasy Adventure from Little Lynx, the bestselling author of Wraithwood Botanist, featuring dungeon delving, base-building, a rational MC, trading, alchemy, shop-running, slice-of-life elements, and slow-build Power Progression.

Not entirely sold on the main character, but interesting set up and I keep picturing his bond mate as the pink guy from Treasure Planet

DNF - Exciting Premise but Falls Very Short
This was such a chaotic and hard to read book. The first half is just back story and then it immediately moves into a mess of a main story that doesn’t make much sense at all. It was so hard to follow I had to give up. Definitely not worth the time for me.

That was so much fun to read. Derek is a tag a long as a love girl gets pulled to another world where discovers that she is the chosen one and will save the world. Derek is not that.
We get taken along on a ride with a Derek as he tries to find something to do while the heroes go save the world only to get kidnapped and kicked out of the kingdom. Although he is the main character he is not the hero or the good guy or even a respectable businessman. No this isn't that story but man was it a fun read and I'm glad I picked it up. Can't wait for book 2.

Okay Read
This book wasn't what I thought it'd be. It was an okay read and well written, but very different than what I was thinking. I didn't really care for the main character. I found him to be stupid; so so stupid. He act first without thinking things through or of the consequences. Just not for me.

Did not like the main character. He is a loser drunk drugs etc and only bad things happen to him ( which half are his fault) he never really turned it around always finds a way to screw things up and not in a funny way. maybe he turns it around later in the book but I will not continue to see . not for me .

Two pages too much
It only took two pages for me to decide this book wasn't for me. Too much snark, too much 'screw the other guy ". I need to feel sympathy for the MC, not want them in jail or dead.

It felt like this book wanted to be about five different kinds of books and struggled to keep a consistent tone, even with the sarcastic narrator throughout. There are good places this series can go from here, but I'm not confident the next installments will go there.

This is just terrible. One of the worst main characters I have run across in quite some time. He is full of BS, his self descriptions are completely off, and he is a moron. His Macguffin is autonomous so he really does nothing but run his mouth. This is just a waste of time.

Seemed ok
While the storyline was unique, I felt its application left a bit to be desired. The epilogue left a bit to be desired

Being mildly sardonic isn't humor.
More a collection of random words that contradict each other than a book. Oh well. I'm sure someone will enjoy it.
