Everyone’s favorite grandpa that you didn’t know you wanted. I was a bit hesitant to read this spinoff thinking it might not have the magic of Dakota Krout’s own works but I was pleasantly surprised. The Book’s start is a bit slow the first few chapters introducing our main character and the people he cares about but stick around as the village Grandpa becomes everyone’s Grandpa. Watch as he treats everyone like good little grandkids, except his enemies….you don’t want to be his enemy! Also fans of Hard magic systems will enjoy Artorian’s examination of Krout’s magic system. This series manages to stay true to its roots but also expand on the lore in a way that let’s you experience cultivation from an angle different from that of Cal or Dale from the Dungeon series.
