LitRPG fans: Noobtown is back!

In the ninth book in Ryan Rimmel's fantastical Noobtown series, Jim has a new threat to face. As he questions how to kill a nearly invincible Elder Demon, he also has to regroup his allies and try to fix his ailing War Badger. Can he do all that, considering it's also time to finally answer for his many crimes against chickens?

What happens when the main boss isn't the final boss?

Jim defeated the Dark Overlord, but that wasn't enough. The Dark Overlord was just a pawn for an even greater threat. Michael, the Elder Demon, has restarted the War in Heaven. Meanwhile, Jim was spending quality time with Shart, trapped in the Walker Orb. Now, Jim's allies are spread all over Ordinal, and the world is breaking apart.

In order to survive, Jim needs to rebuild his class, find his allies, and save the world yet again. His plans start small, but there are, of course, problems. A death cult has taken over Windfall, a Faceless Queen is running the Castle, and Badgelor has a cardiac issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

But Jim isn't defeated. He will save Windfall and the World. Because he's the Mayor of Windfall.

Noobtown

The series

Full series details →

Waking up in a new world should be an exciting adventure—unless you find yourself stuck with a name like "Jim" and a town called "Noobtown." For one unlucky soul, reborn into a fantasy RPG realm with nothing but a sarcastic AI companion and an attitude problem, survival isn’t just about dodging monsters—it’s about outsmarting a game that seems rigged from the start.

Read full series description

Packed with irreverent humor, clever twists, and a protagonist who refuses to play by the rules, this series blends classic LitRPG mechanics with a fresh, comedic edge. But beneath the laughs and loot drops, Noobtown is a surprisingly rich adventure—filled with dangerous dungeons, eccentric NPCs, and an evolving world where power isn’t just measured in experience points.

As Jim levels up from zero to (hopefully) hero, he quickly learns that being an overpowered protagonist is overrated when you’re starting from the absolute bottom. With each absurd quest, snarky comeback, and unlikely alliance, he inches closer to building something greater than himself—a town that might just stand a chance against the chaos of the world. If only the game mechanics weren’t actively trying to kill him.

For fans of offbeat fantasy, fast-paced progression, and characters who refuse to take their fate lying down, Noobtown delivers an RPG-inspired romp that’s as laugh-out-loud funny as it is unexpectedly gripping. Whether you’re here for the stats or the snark, this is one respawn worth taking.
