About this listen
Born an outcast weakling monster. Destined to be an S-grade hero.
As a monster, Shrubley is forbidden from joining the adventurers guild. In a world where essence artists rank up in power and most monsters are feral beasts, Shrubley is among the weakest of creatures and is treated as an outcast that is worth less than dirt.
With curiosity essence bound to his spirit, Shrubley might be weak, but he's intelligent and determined. Against all the odds, he discovers a loophole from the Druid that gave him life—but there's a deadly catch.
For a chance of ever being accepted as a true adventurer, he must challenge an otherworldly realm threatening to consume everything. A realm rife with dangers and opportunities in equal measure.
With a band of fellow low-tier monsters—a tiny slime, an undead skeleton mage, and a koblin—Shrubley sets off to prove that monsters can be heroes too. Even if he must die trying.
Join Shrubley's perilous journey with his band of misfit monsters as he slowly evolves in power from a weak, hunted creature to a high-rank adventurer who wields a sword and shield with healing druid essences! Expect a diverse cast of monsters with unique monster-race powers, a deep class and color-based magic system, silly puns, and of course a hefty dose of optimism. Perfect for fans of Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons, and listeners of epic progression fantasy, LitRPG, Beastborne Chronicles, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Cradle.

A tale as old as tyme
This was really good, full of heart and more than just the typical deconstruction of the tropes.
A story about stories and the power of taking an active part in your own.
With puns, ranging from hilarious to painfull and a wonderfully colourful cast of characters, I would higly recommend this for anyone looiking for a good adventure.
Also recomendable for first-timers to LitRPG's, since this one isn't crunchy at all.
Last worthy of mention is the constant homages to the works of Terry Pratchett, ranging from touchingly heartfelt to blatantly cheeky.
I look forward to Shrubleys next adventure.
