Goblin Gigs

Dungeon Dasher, Book 1

By: Daniel Kensington

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Aurora Bliss

From rideshare to another realm, I wound up with a haunted manor, a portal to Arctara, and a goblin with zero chill.

Alex Mercer was a rideshare driver, dodging drunks and hauling tacos, until his uncle’s death gifted him Mercer Manor—and a portal to Arctara, a land of monsters and magic. Trading delivery runs for low-stakes gigs, Alex aims to grind gold safely and ignore the fancy quests. With MMA skills, a snarky archer best friend sparking chemistry, and a fierce goblin ally with bold intentions, he’s set to tackle the little jobs, from bandits to bar fights, despite the Arctaran System throwing quests in his face.

But Arctara breeds chaos. As the gigs escalate, Alex’s “easy” tasks turn deadly, dragging him into a world of traps and secrets. With quirky companions piling up and stats he’d rather ignore, Alex must hustle to survive.

Goblin Gigs—Dungeon Dasher: Book 1 is a hilarious, action-packed isekai where a gig-economy hero grinds his way to glory.

A bit short

Did a good job not making the being jailed or captured take to long to resolve.

Not a fan of gimping Heather with the wrong class right from the get go. hopefully it works out for her or she can change it.

Fun start, looking forward to the next one

I was initially not too excited about the voice actors but they grew on me. It certainly had a slow burn start, but has lots of promise!

Perfection

I love the warlock series and I can tell I’ll love this series as well! I also love that two of my favorite readers were chosen for this, not to mention they complimented the characters perfectly!

Great story

As always, the narrators did a phenomenal job with this one in bringing the characters to life. really enjoyed their quirks.

Great book , too damned short.

Excellent voice acting, from an author I'm fond of.
ended too soon, I vocally whined when it ended.
