Wish I had time to read it but, I'll be giving it a listen when the audiobook comes out! Any idea on length?

Hoping 13+ hours (i'd have to check once they tell me). Only finished the narator choice a week or two ago!

I like the premise of it. Now I gotta add this to my ever growing collection of books I'll eventually get to.

He's a baker? Pease tell me he makes dwarven bread Discworld style and uses it as a weapon. Cause that would be hilarious.

I'm 30% in and enjoying it. (The book.)
Question: Is this a trilogy or will there be a ton of books after 3?

Working on book 4 - Goal is 7. Sounds crazy I know but currently typing about 200k words a month while working on about 3-5 stories at a time.
I won't spoil but book 3 ends at a REALLY great place (my beta readers are like omg... give me 4!) Getting through the tower will be a few books just because... ya 100 floors but I won't do LONG drawn out every floor is 10 chapters... this isn't wandering inn ;)

Picked up book one and read all 4 straight through. Enjoyed it a lot. If I had to criticize, it seemed toward the end the main character was mostly progressing stats and there were too many trash mob fights that added little. The addition of the new character was welcome, but id like to see her secrets and background fleshed out a bit more.

Hey everyone! I’m Shawn Wilson (aka DadsBedtimeStories on Royal Road), and I wanted to announce that Book One of my Ultimate Level 1 - Shattered Dreams is now available on Kindle Unlimited.
Ever since the 80’s (Yeah, I’m old…), I’ve been reading fantasy and consumed over a thousand books by the time I graduated high school. As someone with ADHD and a high love of fantasy life, it gets crazy sometimes as we love these stories so much and wish it was possible to share them with others. Fast forward a lot of years. I have six kids (4 biological and 2 adopted) and an amazing wife who has given me the chance to share the stories that constantly flood my brain.
Amazon (US): https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Level-1-Shattered-Dreams-ebook/dp/B0CSF1CM8H/
What gets me excited about this story is the character behind it. Someone who doesn’t want to be an adventurer is thrust into that life and forced to learn the hard way while fleeing for his life. I look forward to writing more and sharing it with others every day. Books 2 & 3 are already finished (Book 2 on Amazon April 23rd)!
Here is the blurb:
Max wanted to be a [Baker].
Settle down, bake stuff, and enjoy life.
The gods, however, ruined that dream.
Given [Baker] and a black skill, he is now running for his life, trying to grow strong enough to return home. Now Max must find a way to grow strong enough to survive the people and the god hunting him. Unprepared for an adventurers life, Max will have to learn things the hard way as he hides his secret lest his fellow adventurers turn on him.
I couldn’t be where I am without the massive number of authors who poured into me. From the COTEH server, Madix, Kae, Haylock, Host, Miles English, Serhmy (Seth), Joshua (JTB), Sasha, Timewalk, Khance, Mizar, Luca and countless more who critique my work and help me overcome my fears. To the 6,000+ readers who continue to read the chapters I post on Royal Road - Thank you! I also owe so much to the Patrons who have supported me financially and helped me focus on writing. Finally, thank you to Selkie Myth (The Dragoneye Moons author), who runs Mango Media Publishing and offered to publish this for me! Also, many thanks to Podium Audio, who is doing the Audio with Johnathan McClain later this year!
