Rogue Element 2: City Life
A LitRPG fantasy adventure.
Yynnc can barely recognize himself at times. Until very recently, he was living a relatively peaceful life in his kobold warren. Then destroyers came and ripped that life apart, and he's been running ever since.
Having gotten clear of the country determined to exterminate his kind, Yynnc sets his sights on creating a new life for himself in the magnificent city of Grayshoal. While there are dangers, opportunities abound for a kobold trying to carve out a new and exciting life for himself.
The problem is that trouble is determined to find him in return. Whether by happenstance or from his own insatiable curiosity, it seems wherever he sticks his nose in, all he finds is a nest of hornets. He soon finds himself entangled in matters he probably should have left alone. Now, all that remains is to push himself to his limits... and beyond if he is going to live through it all.
But he IS a survivor. It's in his blood. Whatever happens, he will adapt, grow stronger, and if at all possible... enjoy himself on the ride.
=== Caution from the Author ===

The continued LitRPG adventures of Ynnc the kobold. This time he finds himself out of his element in a city. He soon gets into all sorts of trouble and has to use all his skills to keep alive and help other people.
Not a bad book although I thought some of the storylines felt a bis disjointed. Also, at close to 500 pages I felt that it was too long.

Honestly moving how he evolves
I loved ynnec’s character development in this entry it reminds us that even though he is becoming more deviant and honestly moved on some new emotions he felt for certain parts in the story.
Spoilers warning: I was hoping that part with his egg went differently like the babe could have survived miraculously and have left it with the handmaiden for safe keeping

An unexpectedly strong sequel. Our MC learns to deal with city life and civilization in general. His desires get him in trouble but he eventually is able to make his way through the conflicts that are not so dissimilar to his old life. The ending though is what puts this one over the top into 5 stars. I expected a fun romp and got some consequences and sadness. Well done Mr. Keplar.

Little slow on the start but. . .
Once it gets going, It Gets Going. Ending was a shock and the whole story was better for it. Not sure where it will go now, but I can't wait to see it.

Even stronger than book one, but without getting too spoiler-y, that is no Hollywood ending. More like Shakespeare/GOT. Whatever it was, it held my attention, so off to book 3.
