The Grumpy Little Kobold

By: Ed Nemo

Narrated by: Robert Knox

Living on a Dungeon World kind of sucks when you are one of the smallest species of humanity. It wasn’t easy being a kobold living in a small town in the Virginia Mountains. While Edwin was safe from the gangs that seemed to own the city streets, he was also apparently safe from doing anything of note with his life. Dreams of magic and adventure only existed for him in books and movies, until he came face to face with a dungeon monster.

Now trapped in a seemingly endless series of dungeons, Edwin must get stronger or die. After all, The System rewarded those that pushed their limits and faced danger. And while it would take extraordinary will and strength to survive, Edwin was one grumpy little kobold.

Dungeon World Earth is a place of conflict. Set in a modern day Earth that has been System Integrated for thousands of years, magic meets cybernetics as humanity strives to thrive on a world created to test them.

Very nice

I loved the story and the building. There is a bit more profanity than likely useful but still great.

What a hidden gem!

This was a great story, and I really enjoyed the storytelling. I felt like I was an adult getting a story read to them while they were sick. Loved it. I had to speed up the narration, and some audio glitches could be noticed. Anyway, I would definitely be up to recommend this to others that find the summery interesting.

Great Story and Narrator

I loved the eBook and was excited to listen to the audiobook. It holds up just as well as an audio book. The narrator does a great job and captures the vibe of the book.

The background is unique for a litRPG. It's cool that Earth has been part of a system for a long time, but the story is set in the modern day. Edwin is a great character to follow and watch grow. There are a lot of cool world-building threads, character growth, and building a team. If you want a fun read with a character you'll root for, this is a good choice.

I enjoyed this book, and loved the narration.

I am still at a loss as to what being a kobold is like vs. a vertically challenged human. All I know is he has scales and is evidently cute since he has long had the problem of people wanting to hug him like some little child.

There is quite a bit of action and humor in the story which makes it well worth listening to. And in places you can feel the excitement building in the story in the voice of the narrator, who does a fantastic job with the voices of the other characters and his ability to draw you in (And as someone who listens at 2x speed, this can be a real challenge).

Loved it!!!

First , I loved it. To be fair I do enjoy LitRPG's in general. Second, I like the new world combining fantasy with a cyber punk world, and then just making it all... normal while still being a fantasy world. I felt the main character developed well but is was a easy listen and and the narrator gave an excellent performance. I want to see more of this world. I am already looking forward to the next book!
