The citizens of Azurvale are starting to feel the pressure. War with the Empire to the south is imminent, and there's talk of the city's adventurers being drafted into the campaign. Though this conflict seems inevitable and promises to be horrific, the common folk can do little but act like there's nothing wrong. Rather than lose sleep over something so wildly out of their control, they instead worry about tiny, personal, inconsequential issues. Things like, 'Will the butcher have fresh steak today?' and, 'Should I get those new boots now, or wait and see if they go on sale?'
However, though they try to maintain some modicum of normalcy, the people of Azurvale have yet to find out that their capital is already under threat. Not by some warmongering nation, but by a certain individual that has come to them seeking asylum, knowledge, profit, and power through any means necessary. As this newcomer burrows into the city's underbelly like a voracious tick, it cares not for the people it hurts along the way. Indeed, any soul unfortunate enough to cross paths with Boxxy T. Morningwood seems doomed to have their life ruined in one way or another. Often through no fault of their own.
Whether it's an ancient being, a skilled assassin, a godlike archer, or a fresh-faced recruit, none shall be spared from the whims of chaos.

Review written by Ian Mitchell
I <3 Boxxy
I started out reading these on Royal Road. Boxxy and crew are a guilty pleasure. I love the monstrous mayhem. The ravenous mimic is growing up, learning how to pass as a person in society. Rereading this was a whole lot of fun. Might not be suitable for the squeamish or people that need nice heroes. Boxxy saves. In case it's hungry later.
Score: 9.2 out of 10 (Boxxy T Morningwood is one of my favorite characters)
