The Noob Returns

Noobtown, Book 9

LitRPG fans: 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.

solid

Few if any stories adhear to mandatory Puma checks. And I've seen an increase in authors referencing this need. While a key feature of that appears throughout, in complement the author and over taxed narator for allowing the storyline to flow without making this a keystone of the story.

CHICKEN!!

As fun as they ever are and better than most Jim even had a K pop demon hunter joke

Very fun listen.

Fast paced, very funny, I power listened through it. Thank you for a very entertaining book. I look forward to the next episode.

Clive's wife

I understand about the situation with the J's but someone has to talk to Clive's wife, poor man.....

I am sad that I have to wait for the next one

The narrator is by far my favorite. The story is perfect and completely unexpected and the jokes are great
