Noobtown

About This Audiobook

Jim dies, reincarnates into a video-game world, and spawns in a newbie zone that's been abandoned for centuries — meaning nobody told the monsters to go easy on level-1 players. His only backup is Shart, a literal shoulder demon with exactly the sense of humor that name implies. Noobtown knows what it is: a comedy that happens to have levels, not the other way around. Jim's a likable everyman, the village-rebuilding gives each book a real arc, and every volume actually ends instead of cliffhanger-baiting you into the next one. Honest warning: if crude humor isn't your register, Shart will wear on you fast — people who bounce off this series bounce hard. Everyone else finds it stupidly funny: 4.7 across 6.9K ratings funny. Johnathan McClain's delivery is a huge part of that; his comic timing turns mid jokes into good ones and good ones into rewind-that-bit moments.
