Description
Read Shrubley, the Monster Adventurer Book 1 on Amazon & Kindle Unlimitedhere! And read book 2here!
Shrubley wants to be the greatest S-Grade adventurer the world has ever known.
That's a tall order when you're a monster. And to make matters worse, Shrubley is the weakest type of monster imaginable. He's a walking, talking, shrub.
With infinite stores of optimism, Shrubley brazenly strolls into the nearest Adventurers Guild with an invitation card from the Druid that gave him life.
While the invite guarantees admittance, it will be an uphill battle to convince his fellow adventurers that he's not just another monster, but a hero-in-training. When he's not brawling with monsters threatening the local townsfolk, he'll be fighting for acceptance from the very people he's saving.
With a band of fellow low-tier monsters, a tiny slime, a skeletal mage, and a koblin, Shrubley sets off to prove that monsters can be heroes too.
What to expect:Weak to monstrously strong, a diverse cast of monsters with unique monster-race powers, a deep Class and color-based magic system, silly puns, and of course a hefty dose of optimism. Because the world is dark enough right now and we all could use a little light in our lives.

- NaruaraRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Shrubley is a lovely little monster that will take you on a wonderful ride with him! It's smooth, it's fun, and this little guy seems to be pretty cool! If Shrubley would ask me to go on a quest with him I would accept instantly!
I really liked the style of the author, different from what I've been used to read lately but after a few chapters, I got used to it and I would say that it was very pleasant.
It's so good to read something like that without the extra killing and so on!
Shrubley is the perfect companion for your next read! - MagicfatmanRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.012 chapters in and im already so invested in the journey of shrubley its unreal, its been a long time since ive felt such genuine joy from a story that i couldnt stop smiling. Im already at the point where id die for shrubley.
Shrubley is the essence of what we all wish adventuring would be, happy to help and wants to get strong so he can help better.
Ill take as many chapters as i can get, storys amazing and you should read it. - K5P26Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I knew what I was getting into, yet I still got wholesome overload as I read the first chapter I can just feel the Happy Hormones flowing straight into ny brain, it is simply so wholesome and stupidly adorable, its like seeing a being so innocent, naive, and pure explore the world around it with the curiosity of a child.
- BroskvovitchRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Hi,
I just need to say thank you. This little story just made my last several days way more bearable. I've been going through a minor depressive episode, but Shrubley and his friends made it easier. I love the ideas, I love the play with words and all the puns, I love the cuteness and the depth of the story and I enjoy your worldbuilding with all the little details. Thanks, and please, continue with it for a long time.
Happy Holidays. - Hampster of HappinessRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Watching this little adventurer grow his way through the world is so heart warming you almost forget he's a monster. Not many stories can make you feel sorry for a skeleton but if i had a nickel for every story that makes me feel empathy for a skeleton this story would be one of about a dollar twenty in nickels which isn't a lot but it's a very niche genre so it's very impressive this story makes the list.
- HavrothRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's a fun story about a cheerfully niave shrub. He makes friends, and challenges prejudices about what it means to be a hero and adventurer.
I have high hope to see the rest of monster party assemble and handle unexpected issues such as bullies, and vampires. And deminsional tricks
I want to support the author but I have a hard time writing myself so I'm adding filler to hit word limits - Chris calowRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This book is absolutely amazing, I honestly couldn't out it down. Cannot wait for the rest!!!. Keep up the amazing work author. I've been looking for a good monster book and this is it!. Monsters, magic, ranks and RPG elements what more could you ask for!. Love that it has koblins too!!. Would 100% recommend to others who love Litrpg!.
- BooksandpunsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Cute yet well made, overall a pleasant read that I accidentally blew through. No criticism, but laughing at the humor that is so refreshing to feel. Honestly love how lighthearted it cone off as at the beginning, just on chapter 12. Need 50 words though please Puns never die. Hope the author keeps on keeping ob
- WarfiptRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The story of this lil crafty shrub with big dreams has been nothin but a splendid experience, a wonderful cast of characters, a neat magic system, a lit rpg that doesnt make the system the core of everything, and an interesting power progression system. I look foward to learning the direction book 2 is going to bring this tale.
