Soulstone Bakery

Low Stakes. High Carbs. LitRPG Slice of Life.

By: John Broadway

Narrated by: Hannah Schooner, Giancarlo Herrera

Wholesome. And whole wheat.

Gavric Restweary, the Nephilim Reborn, has vanquished a legion of Hell singlehandedly. At the end of his quest, a gleaming jewel awaits him—the Duke of Terror's Soulstone. But it was never intended as a reward.

Now forced by the Heavens to bear the Soulstone himself, Gavric must find a measure of peace by taking over his mother's bakery, lest Diabolicus escape his prison and corrupt the land anew. A heavy burden for one man to bear, but doing so gives him hope that he may live to find some reprieve from his trauma.

He won't be alone, however. Kyrael, Rose Maiden and Angel of Innocence, the sole daughter of Tyranor the Golden, soon arrives outside Torstram as a falling star. Her mission? Watch over the hero and the Soulstone. But just how will the dynamic between the Angel and the Nephilim unfold? Will they find peace and comfort together, or will Gavric succumb to the Soulstone?

Action. Connection. Peace. Adventure. And lots of bread. This book has it all.

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞I hope there are more books to come in this series! The MC is great along with a really good supporting cast! The story is captivating! The narrators also do a good job of bringing the story to life! Great job John Broadway!

hell yeah

loved it. no questions about it. the plot is great. laid-back and super coY with some action in the mix. the romance is lovely as well

Can an OP MC find rest after the quest is over?

The story is really good. Best Mono romance, clean men's romance, and humorous slice of life tale I have read. Possibly the first I've read like this in a long while. The dark universe themes make this suitable only for teen and up, but is not 18+ like many stories coming out of the men's romance category. Even in its grimness there is humor. Kyraeal is adorably clueless and the narrator, Hanah Scooner, brings her to life wonderfully. Giancarlo Hererra is a good gruff voice for Gavric.

John Broadway is one of my new favorite authors.

Wholesome and Beautiful

A beautiful rom com. Watching the relationship build between the Gavrick and Kurial (not sure if I spelled that right) is wonderful and cozy. She is ditzy, but not in an annoying way, and you really feel for Gavrick and what he went through before the story starts. I recommend this to anyone who wants a clean laid back adventure with the right amount of cute romance.

Great book by a newer author!

John Broadway has done it! Crafted a story with such down to earth characters that it’s not just the MC that you care about.

I loved this story to pieces and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light hearted LITRPG story. Kyrael is such a breath of fresh air and I want to just take her and Gabric and put them in a bubble so they can be happy. However the bakery does a fine job at giving them something to do with their time and provides plenty of interaction with the townsfolk. Loved this so much!

Please note: This book is PG, though there are some discussions that might not be youth appropriate. But nothing is explicit.
