About this listen
An IT worker explores an alternate dimension in his office in the first book of a fun and fast-paced series blending cubical life and dungeon fantasy.
Working as overnight tech support, James Lyle has long said he’d do anything to escape the boredom. But his commitment to excitement is tested when a slight coincidence one shift sends him to a different part of his office building . . . and he discovers a stairwell that contains not stairs but rather a landscape of seemingly infinite cubicles against a distant horizon.
Unwilling (and unable) to stay away, James and a few of his trusted friends begin to explore this endless maze of supernatural business ennui, a few minutes in the real world turning into eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and even stranger interior design choices. But in a realm that allows them to level up in fax machine repair and provides them with enough cash to pay the rent, there are also adversaries that are quickly becoming dangerous—and potentially lethal.
As James, along with his companions, delves ever deeper into this extraordinary place, he starts to realize that animate staplers and time dilation might not be the biggest challenges they face, and those challenges might not stop at the entrance . . .
The Daily Grind is the epic beginning to a slice-of-life urban fantasy that effortlessly blends wry commentary on office life with intricate character- and world-building.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than four million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

solid modern dungeon litrpg
It reminds me of a house of leaves but with skills and mosters it even effectively leans in to horror at times TW though its missing a lgbtq tag its a good story if your coming cat kill sat like me id say its worth it

Refreshing
This book takes the genre and flips it on its head. Not fantasy or science fiction, this is real life but not, a fascinating delve into the extraordinary.

Quite unique
I never really write reviews but I feel this book is so unique it kind of deserves a review.
Description mentions "litrpg", I wouldn't call it that. This is as a what if real life people encounter say a way into SCP-3008 Infinite Ikea (if it were an office) with a lot of SCP like elements, space anomalies, sci-fi elements and cosmic horror. Instead of litrpg stats, there's skill orbs that give very random memories/skills.
It did get a bit repeditive in the middle which is why I dropped it, picked it up later and it gets surprisingly good with a twist and world building towards the end. I would recommend this.
