Weaponsmith

Weaponsmith, Book 1

By: D.M. Rhodes, Razzmatazz

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

[I accidentally got engaged to the evil owl-goddess who is obsessed with the number-three and now I have to make weapons for our new adventuring guild].

In an era in which ancient gods live in the world’s cities together with their mortal followers, forming tight-knit guilds and powerful temples, the disfigured ash-caster and blacksmith Hineni has lived his entire life as a reclusive outcast. Hidden away behind layers of clothing and just as many walls and doors, he only ever leaves the house in the dead of night, so that neither the gods or anyone else can ever see him.

However, on one of these night-tide outings, he finds that has gained the unwanted attention of what is seemingly a perfectly normal owl, and through his unwitting efforts at simply filling his nights with acts of personal meaning, he ends up promising himself to a creature that is perhaps even less versed in human ways than he himself is. He is a mysterious, odd owl-goddess that nobody seems to have ever heard of, Obscura.

Hineni, having had no greater purpose in life until now, finds himself willing to accept this turn of events and dedicates himself to creating a brand new adventuring guild, under the watchful eyes of the ancient entity Obscura, who has only one, clear, proclaimed goal—

To hunt the BIG FROG! BIG FROG! BIG!

Weaponsmith is a slice-of-life litRPG [soft romance] with base/guild-building.

Ha, better than i thought.

It wasnt all action and adventure but a decent faction builder with some romance elements. Not a fan of slice of life but this wasnt all that bad. At the end of it all its an ok listen.

A Slow Burn... ish

The story is a slow burn, but a good story. I guess the plot leading up more toward the other books...? With other God's?
It's got a few twists... I do love the naming of the chapters... It's really nice... funny...
The narrator has a very nice voice and does a very good job on the voices... voices are distinct, and you can tell when the she does change the people talking. I don't want to get too much away, but the three does play a big part in the book.The three and four... i'm not sure if I will continue the series just kicking it around.I probably will...

a good look at psychology and ptsd

while decently written, and quite well voice acted, certain things pull Me out of it. I get that its litRPG, but do we really NEED to hear an item breakdown of damn near everything he eats and handles? I mean, the first time I would understand, but every piece of jerky? every frog? the third one is the same as the first, if its not different in any way why bother giving the same description every time?

Mostly romance

This story is roughly half romance and 2/5 slice of life with all the fantasy stuff being almost entirely limited to setting, slightly misleading but not terrible. I enjoyed listening to the recluse and the anthropophobic help each other deal with the outside world

Enjoying quite a bit.. Weird Slice of life. Weird diety system.. Weirdly wonderful! hey that's 3x
