What makes it funny?

Arlo has to invent excuses for companions who suspect something is wrong, while the game system itself treats him as a joke. Staying alive includes trying to look as though he belongs there.

The comedy at work

His strongest stat is Intelligence, but he pours his resources into Fortitude. The joke is a practical one: a man who cannot fight builds himself to survive getting hit.

Try this if…

Character-building decisions and gradual gains in power matter here. Readers who enjoy choosing how an adventurer develops get dungeon challenges with consequential danger alongside the comedy.

Good to know

This is the first Mage Tank novel. The author's series description warns of strong horror themes, graphic violence, and profanity.
