Goblin Gigs

Dungeon Dasher, Book 1

By: Daniel Kensington

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Aurora Bliss

From rideshare to another realm, I wound up with a haunted manor, a portal to Arctara, and a goblin with zero chill.

Alex Mercer was a rideshare driver, dodging drunks and hauling tacos, until his uncle’s death gifted him Mercer Manor—and a portal to Arctara, a land of monsters and magic. Trading delivery runs for low-stakes gigs, Alex aims to grind gold safely and ignore the fancy quests. With MMA skills, a snarky archer best friend sparking chemistry, and a fierce goblin ally with bold intentions, he’s set to tackle the little jobs, from bandits to bar fights, despite the Arctaran System throwing quests in his face.

But Arctara breeds chaos. As the gigs escalate, Alex’s “easy” tasks turn deadly, dragging him into a world of traps and secrets. With quirky companions piling up and stats he’d rather ignore, Alex must hustle to survive.

Goblin Gigs—Dungeon Dasher: Book 1 is a hilarious, action-packed isekai where a gig-economy hero grinds his way to glory.

A bit short

Did a good job not making the being jailed or captured take to long to resolve.

Not a fan of gimping Heather with the wrong class right from the get go. hopefully it works out for her or she can change it.

it hard to be honest without being mean

i really enjoyed how this sotry played out, but it seemed just a but simple, thats not bad but i wants more i really do look forwardward to the next book, i can not rip this apart for the sake of nip picking and the lack of spice with the implication of spice i am totally okay with it, i do not need the spice for the story to move forward, the voice actors do am amazing job and i a can not fault them for anything tyhe story needs a bit more bones to it and a it more story but a goo first entery!!

fantastic

A great read that makes for a good palate cleanser from other books. The Voice Actors are just as amazing. 10/10 would recommend

While herem it’s not filth

The MC is hilariously oblivious to the women in his life. It’s a fun romp. I’ll be looking for the next book in this series.

Fun start, looking forward to the next one

I was initially not too excited about the voice actors but they grew on me. It certainly had a slow burn start, but has lots of promise!
