Reborn as a Dark Lord

The Tavernkeeper's Guide to Rejecting Evil, Befriending Orcs, & Cooking Exceptional Hot Wings

De: Timothy W. Long

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

From the scourge of the realm to its most beloved tavern owner. This Dark Lord is ready for change.

Vincent Logan's day couldn't get any worse. Fired from his corporate day-job, almost dying of a heart attack, and then suddenly thrust into the body of the recently defeated Dark Lord Morthisal?

Talk about a career change.

Now, trapped in a fantasy world with powers he can barely control and a reputation that precedes him (in all the wrong ways), Vince has to navigate a post-war kingdom that wants nothing more than to see him dead. But he's got other plans.

Armed with nothing but his wits, a few magical artifacts, and an insatiable craving for chicken wings, Vince sets out to open the most unlikely business venture for a former evil overlord.

His mission? To buy a tavern and create the best hot wings the kingdom has ever tasted.

Welcome to this cozy fantasy tale of reinvention, camaraderie, and the universal truth that a good plate of hot food can solve almost anything. It's perfect for fans of Heretical Fishing, Legends & Lattes, and A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A hilarious, sauce-stained isekai with the right amount of flavoring."—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Hilarious

Really enjoyed this one. Can't wait for more! Part slice of life, part adventure, absolutely full of fun characters.

Fun lighthearted adventure.

when our MC soal is snatched for our world and swapped out with the desperate Dark lord looking an escape, you run like hell. thankfully a friendly goblen helps you run and escape with a little looting the treasure hall first. able to hide what you look like you might as well cook food and bring people together.

Like a warm bowl of chili for the soul.

Fans of Beware of Chicken or Heretical Fishing take special notice.

The worst thing about this book is that there isn't a sequel yet. I found myself smiling like an idiot at work for the whole time I was listening. The characters are endearing, the plot poses excellent questions, and the vibes are immaculate.

This is one of the few fantasy books I've seen that actually considers how a Big Bad Evil Guy's army adapts to losing a war. This is still a slice of life story, so we don't go too deeply into trauma and xenophobia, but I still appreciated the consideration of orc and human relations. I'm certain that we're slated for deeper drama in future books.

I eagerly await the next book. I'm particularly excited to see how the main character and a certain someone's relationship progresses.

Great Start!

Great Start to a new slice of life series! Definitely looking forward to book 2!

A great premise, what's good, let's start to work.Be a great series

Is it great start to a good series, high potential and an interesting way of putting certain Roblox, in the way of all of the things? He wants to do and then getting him to be able to deal with it and dealing with the moral applications of how he does it. And when he does it This shows the author it's growing and becoming so much better. I can't wait for the next 1 when it come out

Enjoyable start

Novel premise with a lot of potential. The idea of getting isekai’d into a dark lord’s body is new to me. But the originality doesn’t stop there… he is also a chef! That angle was also new to me and led to a unique and interesting story. The narration was very well done.

Cute story

A very cute premise but not compelling enough for me to want to continue the series. The plot is predictable. Narration is excellent.
