Título: Big Sneaky Barbarian: A LitRPG Novel
Autor: Seth McDuffee
Sinopse: One angry young man is about to take a fantasy realm by storm—or by accident—in the hilarious first book of a new series by the author of Good Boy.
Gabe Skelter has a temper, which he likes to imagine has the effect of causing people to fear and respect him. On the contrary, his pudgy, underdeveloped body and negative personality make him more your standard outcast teenager. Worse still, he kinda knows what a jerkweed he actually is.
Then, in the middle of a class trip, Gabe finds himself spirited away to Regaia: a world of magic, mayhem, and nerd-tastic adventure. Naturally, he’s completely ill-prepared. But in this realm, he’s a monstrous, muscular man of action. Unfortunately, he’s still saddled with the frightfully unimpressive brains of a teenage loser.
Now, Gabe must make his burly, bulky way in a land where the strong dominate, the powerful rule, and picking a class has nothing to do with algebra . . . and everything to do with survival.
Bristling with reckless abandon and antisocial attitude, Big Sneaky Barbarian is Die Hard with dungeons; a must-read for fans of heavy-hitting action mixed with laugh-out-loud snark—and absolutely loaded with swears.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 100,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
Praise for Big Sneaky Barbarian

Stop, what are you doing, don’t hit send . . .” —Luke Chmilenko, author of the Ascend Online series and collector of “antique” eggs

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Podium Publishing apresentam um universo editorial que mescla fantasia contemporânea com toques de romance e aventura, frequentemente ambientados em mundos mágicos complexos e cheios de intrigas políticas.

O catálogo revela tanto tramas mais narrativas e dinâmicas, como a saga da jovem bruxa e sua corte, quanto histórias com ritmo mais introspectivo e progressivo, como as aventuras de um protagonista relutante em um mundo fantástico. Podium Publishing aposta em narrativas que combinam ação, elementos fantásticos e desenvolvimento emocional, criando um ambiente propício para leitores que apreciam fantasia com nuances românticas e toques de suspense.
