Resumen del Editor

Just one sip of ale leaves Hawkin with a life-changing decision.

Isolated in the northern wilderness, Hawkin—an adventurer turned hermit—is fulfilled by the small joys of his simple life. He hunts and forages for food, tends to a small garden, maintains his humble cabin, and patrols the meandering trail that leads down to the sea.

After celebrating ten years alone in his woods, visitors begin to arrive. First an ancient monster, then a trio of monks with a peculiar set of skills. When the monks share their flagship ale with Hawkin, a transcendent experience leaves him with a choice: engage with the system screen he'd gladly disabled long ago, or pass on the chance to brew magic beer. Unable to forget the wondrous ale he tasted, Hawkin accepts the Brewer’s path.

The MC of this cozy, slice of life fantasy is an in-world character. He follows a quest path that allows him to level up on his own terms by picking the quests he is willing to take, and ignoring the rest. Along his crafting journey, Hawkin is joined by an OP monster with an insatiable appetite, a talkative goblin with a deep love of onions, and a blue, squirrel-like creature that's always in the mood to shoot dice. An interest in real-world beer brewing isn't necessary to follow the story or Hawkin’s progression.

a very good slice of life Brewster litrpg and all the more impressive that the author did such a great job narrating I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for book 2

Fun

This was a great listen!
An ex-adventurer turned hermit happens upon some monks. They give him beer. It reawakens his System and drives him to discover the joys of craft brewing. He befriends a mythic beast, employs a goblin, and makes a trade deal with goblins and orcs all while plotting how to stay a recluse and protect his land. The mythic beast gets him what he needs and he puts up a magical fence. A potential love interest that has been investigating him finds him and is commanded by her god to find out why his destiny is to become one of the best.

Smooth voiced narrators. Great flow. Easy listen story. The resolution goes on for a few chapters more than needed in this book and seemed more suited to an epilogue, bonus content, or the beginnings of the next book. Still, I loved the story and will be returning for the next in the series.

Please enjoy.

good slow story

kind of a slice of life story. good stats to story ratio. I will be looking forward to the next book.

Nice slice of life, but too friendly

The story is a fairly enjoyable slice of life, and the author adds in some pretty interesting elements to make even simple things like beer a bit more magical. It isn't particularly crunchy, although the leveling rate is pretty wild. Regardless, you won't be overwhelmed with constant stat blocks or level-up notifications. The only concern I have is that the MC is so averse to conflict that it almost makes him seem like someone who would smile and thank you as you take his lunch money or mug him.

Made me wish I liked beer

It took me a few chapter to get into it but once the characters were fully introduced I couldn't stop listening. I very much look forward to the next book.

fun new concept

this was a fun story. there's plenty still to build up to. the characters are fun, and the development felt smooth. the ending was a little lackluster, but it was overall a great story. can't wait for the next!

Slice of life

Nice to have an mc not being an overpowered 16 years old boy on a quest to save the world. The book has a sedate and pleasant pace. It does not need to go from battle to battle, all to update a long character sheet at the end of a chapter.
It does have a diverse set of characters, some battles, some humor, but above all an interesting storyline without to many cliches.
To be short: one of the better books recently purchased.

A great story and reading

This has been one of my favorite stories on Kindle and was happy to find it here. I was pleasantly surprised with the author's own reading of his book as those are not always the best but he has done a great job here in bringing his story to life. Hoping for Silver Rank!

it's a fun story

I really enjoyed the story however I could have done without the description of the ingredients in the beer for goblin spit beer that was really gross

Nice Slice of Life LitRpg
