Keith has died twelve times.
After making a deal with a mysterious immortal, he was sent to a new world in hopes of gaining the offered reward - a chance at a better life with his family. However, Keith failed to realize that this deal did not come with an expiration date, no matter how many times he died.
After dying for the dozenth time, Keith renegotiates with the immortal. This new deal will see him sent to the world of Raiah - a world filled with monsters, cowardly monkeys, and a system of magic very similar to the fantasy roleplaying games his brother used to enjoy.
Completing a quest to hunt the most dangerous monsters on the planet, is the price Keith will need to pay to regain his old life. It’s a good thing that all of his experiences in his previous lives translate to Skills in this new one because if Keith fails this time, the price he will need to pay will be far steeper.
We Hunt Monsters is a crunchy LitRPG in an epic fantasy setting. Fans of Dakota Krout, Will Wight, and the Monster Hunter games will enjoy this new series by the bestselling author of the Rise to Omniscience and Buryoku series.
My Opinion: 395 pages, $4.99, Available On Kindle Unlimited
Transported to a RPG fantasy world with a Monster Hunter theme. It's an action focused story with lots of combat. The story is about a main character (MC) that has lived hundreds of years skipping through dimensions and this is his last trip. Either he kills this world's strongest monsters or it's the end. It's a setup that justifies giving the MC a significant boost to melee skills and combat experience. It’s not too OP but skips any of the beginner training that many LitRPG stories have. Instead the story is really one excuse to go from fight to fight with regular RPG leveling, new powers, and getting new gear or upgrading it using monster parts. The fights with monsters are very reminiscent of those from the Monster Hunter series and fans of that game will appreciate the connection.
Overall, it’s a good story if you’re not looking for anything too complex. There’s some decent world building but the big draw is the action/adventure in a Monster Hunter type world.
Score: 7.4 out of 10
