The Noob Returns: Noobtown, Book 9
LitRPG Noobtown is back!
In the ninth book in Ryan Rimmel's fantastical Noobtown series, Jim has a new threat to face. As he questions how to kill a nearly invincible Elder Demon, he also has to regroup his allies and try to fix his ailing War Badger. Can he do all that, considering it's also time to finally answer for his many crimes against chickens?
What happens when the main boss isn't the final boss?
Jim defeated the Dark Overlord, but that wasn't enough. The Dark Overlord was just a pawn for an even greater threat. Michael, the Elder Demon, has restarted the War in Heaven. Meanwhile, Jim was spending quality time with Shart, trapped in the Walker Orb. Now, Jim's allies are spread all over Ordinal, and the world is breaking apart.
In order to survive, Jim needs to rebuild his class, find his allies, and save the world yet again. His plans start small, but there are, of course, problems. A death cult has taken over Windfall, a Faceless Queen is running the Castle, and Badgelor has a cardiac issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.
But Jim isn't defeated. He will save Windfall and the World. Because he's the Mayor of Windfall.

The jokes are old and uninspired, except for the entire book long KFC joke that wasn't ever funny. The "all your levels are reset - wait, now they are back" plot thread was pointless. Not one but two dead characters returned to life, which undercut most drama. The almost emotional arc of "Jim can't have friends because everyone worships him as their savior" was resolved by ... Jim saving them ... and they just stop worshiping him ... just because? The entire book was basically an extended fight scene against the KFC villain and I just never cared. It wasn't horrible but it felt at best like a repeat of other books in the series. I'm thinking it's time to bail.

Absolutely hilarious. Was worried with where the series would go, but it seems that this was always the plan and I should have trusted in the plan. Really enjoyed this one.
