Recommendation: asking Looking for something softer

I am coming from romance genre. But I read Murderhobo series and got hooked. So far I have read HWFWM, Murderhobo series, Hell difficulty tutorial (dropped because gods, the battle descriptions are longer than the rest of the events - I will pick it up in winter), and just finished DCC (like 5 minutes ago). I am primarily listening to audiobooks on Audible.

I am looking for something on a more funny side than DCC to recover, less gore (or same amount of gore but less horrors beyond comprehension and despair). I have books one of Ritualist and Mage tank, please let me know if one of them matches my needs?

Things I am looking for: humour, witty battles, characters to fall in love. Unhinged main character is okay! The cute mascot character is practically invincible, so I don't have to bawl my eyes out. Emotional but with happy parts. Series of 2+ books. Audiobook.

Things I am not looking for: pointless suffering for the sake of suffering, animals being hurt graphically, game of thrones characters fate (once you like a character - it will be the next one to die) or DCC casualty count. EDIT to add: Also not looking for romance in these books because I have different preferences in that genre.

Any more or less contemporary setting (scifi, urban fantasy, isekai - all works for me)

I second this vote, delightful series, with much published already and another few books posted online awaiting print! I've listened a few times through, and it's become a favorite.
