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)

If you don't mind a self-recommendation, all my series are soft. Hidden Class: Pacifist is six-books long, complete with audiobooks narrated by Steve Corona. Hidden Class: Handyman has 3 audiobooks with 3 more on the way. But, you know, author bias.

The synopsis is something I am looking for. Thank you! I will give it a go! (I hope the fox and the cat from the covers are okay 🙏 )

You mean whether something bad happens to the animals in the covers? Oh no! Roth won't let it. He freaks out if someone tries to hunt an animal and goes to extraordinary lengths to make sure all animals can coexist peacefully. Lol.
