Publisher's Summary

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-hear 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!

Critic Reviews

“This has gotten me very excited at the chance to be one of those authors quoted on a book.”—Shirtaloon, author of the He Who Fights with Monsters series and brazen Australian

“I loved every one of the words in this book! Especially how they followed one another in perfect sequence, each of them dazzling me with their sublime poise, vigor, and panache. Or at least that’s what I think I’d say if I read the thing. Are we done here now? Wait, don’t write that. Stop, what are you doing, don’t hit send . . .”—Luke Chmilenko, author of the Ascend Online series and collector of “antique” eggs

great presenter and good idea but...

I couldn't finish. The main character is an absolute nightmare of dislike, which I guess is the point, but there was not a single redeeming quality in him. the story world is great and unique enough, but nothing trumps how disgustingly annoying the main hero is. I'll definitely look towards this authors other works, but this was definitely not for me

Obnoxiously American

I really tried with this book, its just too over-the-top American humor. Its swearing is awkward and cringe, and the punch lines to jokes are just something you'd expect a laugh track over to force humour. I wanted to like it, but even the narrators over the top Americanisms and yelling for no reason (wait til he reads 'question marks', its like listening to someone be silly to a 5 year old and expect laugh reactions) are just really hard to handle. the story got ok in the last 5 hours but apart from that, not really worth the read.
