Description

The Inn Side ShopA Cozy LitRPG Adventure by Gil HessFourteen-year-old Wren Alder never planned to be an adventurer. He just wanted a place to tinker in peace. But when his great-aunt hands him the key to a forgotten supply room at the Crossroads—a sleepy outpost perched between dungeons, cities, and the deep wild—Wren inherits more than a dusty shop.Because this shop… levels up.Each sale unlocks new features. Each discovery stirs old magic. A ledger learns to write back. A dungeon wakes beneath the roots. And a boy who thought he wanted quiet finds purpose in the chaos of travelers, quests, and growing friendships.Heartfelt, clever, and brimming with quiet wonder, The Inn Side Shop blends cozy fantasy with the satisfying progression of a LitRPG—perfect for readers who love slow-burn worldbuilding, endearing characters, and magic that feels just within reach.

    • Um, wow!
Format: Kindle
I expected this to be a comfortable little story. But what I got was the mythic beginning of a tale that I can't wait to continue. The characters are rich and well drawn. The plot weaves along wooded paths and around meadows and into magic. Lovely. Thank you.

    • A joyous delight for lovers of cozy worldbuilding in a delightful high-fantasy setting
Format: Kindle
So, being a nerd that loves LitRPG writing, I figured this wouldn't be anything new. How wrong I was. There is something *special* here with this. The descriptions of places and the feelings it evokes are an absolute delight. Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest as a kid, the sense of the woods and the weather, the warmth of the Crossroads, of leaving the safety of what you thought was home when you were still a child... all of that's here. There's a few typos in the story, some squirrely punctuation mistakes here and there, but don't let it detract you from reading this. The world this book shapes is a delight, and it's officially on my short list of books I have finished, seen the notice for the sequel at the end, and immediately gone "Well, where is it?" because at the time of this writing, the second book isn't out yet. This book just... makes me happy, and excited, and, if the author may be reading this review, forgive the potentially excessive comparison. The vibe here is akin to reading Mercedes Lackey's work. This is 'Herald of Valdemar' and 'Arrows' sub-series worthy. A story that makes me hungry for the sequel, and a tale that I will be re-reading for many years to come. ... show more

It was a fun easy read. A little corny at times but still very worth the read. It’s quick, easy and entertaining.

    • Incredible Story - A Must Read Cozy LitRPG
Format: Kindle
I will say that the first few chapters had me scratching my head and wondering if I'd made a terrible mistake. It was moving so slow, like a lazy, meandering river with no real fixed destination. I kept with it because the prose was lovely (the descriptions, the writing, was really good). I am SO glad to have kept reading. This is just an AMAZING story! It is written beautifully, the content matter is so well thought out and implemented that I was awestruck by the tale as it unfolded. Anyone that likes to read "light" fantasy will love this new series and be frantically searching for book 2. I cannot WAIT for the next installment. This one is an absolute marvel of really great thought, indeed. The author's writing style combined with the subject matter of an "Inn-adjacent alchemy/everything a delver could need Shoppe" is one of the most special, interesting and marvelously told stories I've read in the past year. This is going to be one you'll never want to put down and you won't forget afterward. I cannot wait for more! ... show more

    • WOW. Really, it’s that good.
Format: Kindle
Yes, this story is cozy, but it is also so much more. There is a depth of feeling and purpose that was unexpected but very welcome. I have a feeling that this is the start of something that will become a favorite of many readers.

    • Good story
Format: Kindle
I nearly put this book down before I got to the first chapter. Neither the pre-prologue epilogue nor the prologue itself gave me much reason to continue, but the book description was good enough to go that one chapter further. The author’s descriptions and the MC thoughts are rather flowery and poetic, but become a more extensive background for the story. The actual story begins with a boy who is upset with being torn away from his village. He eventually finds friends and finds a trade that works for him. He has various experiences that stress him and teach him about himself and his abilities. ... show more
