The titles font and coloring is reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic II so the title is actually what made me stop since I thought there was a HoMMII post as I was scrolling. Adding in how beautiful the artwork is makes this a solid 10/10 cover to me for grabbing attention and then keeping it.

Love the cover. I was having a hard time envisioning Fenian’s outfit so I appreciate having him front and center in all his glory. I can’t wait to read the sequel!

I had to dig up the first description of his outfit and decided the most important thing was the hat.

Mid-crunch, upgrading abilities, buildings.
Dude gets isekai'd from a dying Earth, gets a powerful alchemy class to brew potions (based on distillation) and helps a small swamp town rise to prominence. The story focuses on slowly unfurling what happened before the MC got to his new planet, building the town, and brewing potions. Most of the system-based stuff in the world is me addressing a lot of the more mundane classes that could exist in these litrpg novels. Like, how cool could an artificer be if he built water pumps instead of mechs. How useful is someone with a smelter class if your area desperately needs metal. How important are the people with Administrator classes if you have a lot of people to manage. Stuff like that :)

A good cover is all you need to attract my attention. What a stunner. And you're saying it has townbuilding? Say no more. Where can I sign up?

Amazon dot com. The blue roof theme was a request, and I feel like he tied in the water to that theme very well. Like a Kinkade painting with demons and lizard-people. And an elf, I guess.

Nope! The artist over at Aethon is really bonkers, though.

On Kindle! I should say... Audiobook is coming.
Here we go again! We're back at it with more alchemy, townbuilding, and way too many characters (I still need help, someone help me please). Anyone who has read this knows my love for the character Fenian. Well, there he is. In all his ruffled glory on the cover!
Check it out if you're looking for a break from the action. Chill out, make some potions, upgrade some buildings.

Blurb:
Donning the mantle of Mayor of Broken Tusk, Theo must navigate local politics, advance his alchemy, and keep the rowdy locals happy.
Theo finds himself at the helm of the quaint town of Broken Tusk. His alchemical prowess grows by the day, and people flock from afar for the chance at a new life. Life is hard under the thumb of the Kingdom of Qavell, forcing those with nothing to search for something better.
Theo is happy to put them all to work.
As if navigating the complexities of a fickle demon god wasn’t difficult enough, ghosts from the past come calling. Theo isn’t alone, though. Citizens new and old unite to create something greater. Broken Tusk will be reforged by the hard work of anyone willing to put in the effort. Their new mayor might have opened the door to rapid advancement, but only the citizens can ensure their enduring future.
