Summary

An IT worker explores an alternate dimension in his office in the first book of a fun and fast-paced series blending cubical life and dungeon fantasy.

Working as overnight tech support, James Lyle has long said he’d do anything to escape the boredom. But his commitment to excitement is tested when a slight coincidence one shift sends him to a different part of his office building . . . and he discovers a stairwell that contains not stairs but rather a landscape of seemingly infinite cubicles against a distant horizon.

Unwilling (and unable) to stay away, James and a few of his trusted friends begin to explore this endless maze of supernatural business ennui, a few minutes in the real world turning into eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and even stranger interior design choices. But in a realm that allows them to level up in fax machine repair and provides them with enough cash to pay the rent, there are also adversaries that are quickly becoming dangerous—and potentially lethal.

As James, along with his companions, delves ever deeper into this extraordinary place, he starts to realize that animate staplers and time dilation might not be the biggest challenges they face, and those challenges might not stop at the entrance . . .

The Daily Grind is the epic beginning to a slice-of-life urban fantasy that effortlessly blends wry commentary on office life with intricate character- and world-building.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than four million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Interesting, though rough.

Yeah. So this has an interesting premise and a decent mystery by the end of it. There's enough content to hook you and by the end of this book, a strong foundation plot for the next one. I'm a little confused by all the character's... characters? There are some conflicting views characters give and then almost immediately walk those views back which could be read as somewhat realistic (as if they're flip-flopping depending on the situation), or the author changing their mind, or it could be plot-related. Honestly, it'll take the next book to see which of these it is, but the formula is there for a good story.

I'm hoping book two comes with some more logical decision-making and a cut away from the current 'I keep forgetting' or 'I didn't think of that at the time' comments. These comments coming from the characters are having the opposite effect on me as I believe the intent is to make the characters seem more human. It's working to the opposite as they are making clearly rubber-sticker choices in the situation because the artificial character growth demands it. Rolled my eyes a number of times at this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
