Description

Jordan had always wanted to be a Ranger, leaving his home village for the big city of Zyphtal once he turned 20. Upon arriving, he joined the Everwatch Adventurer's Guild, officially becoming a Ranger. It appeared the young half elf's dream had finally come true, though there was just one issue no one told him about.

Rangers suck! All the other classes are wayyyy better! Wizards shoot fireballs, fighters have insane strength, and Rangers can…navigate?  Maps exist. Unable to find any party willing to take on someone with his class, Jordan took to pest control and waste disposal jobs just to have a roof over his head.

One day after a particularly gross job, he meets Bryn, a fellow Adventurer with even worse luck than him. They form a partnership and begin their journey with a difficult first step: finding an affordable apartment.

What to expect:

-Weak-to-strong progression with leveling, skills, and gear upgrades

-Action-packed fights and an emphasis on traps and mobile combat strategies over raw power

-Base building (eventually)

-A Shonen style journey that explores true friendship, the pursuit of strength, and the power of laughing in the face of struggle.

-5 chapters a week, released Thursday-Monday

    wow, first review?  that's a first for me.  ok, well I've enjoyed the story thus far - it's well written with engaging characters (with their own idiosyncrasies).  I say "rpg story" in the title because stats dont really seem to be a factor other than being displayed on the alarm clock (a fun idea!).  wondering if they'll find their 3rd or just hire some rando crazy person.
    good world building, good dialogue, fun to read.  some grammatical/spelling errors but nothing that bad, just minor editing needed.
