The bestselling LitRPG Fantasy, Action Adventure phenomenon, He Who Fights With Monsters, is now available in print as a hardcover and widely distributed for the very first time with He Who Fights With Monsters Vol. 1: Outworlder

What’s it like to wake up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters?

It’s not easy.

For Jason, making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer is surreal. Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil.

He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

He Who Fights with Monsters cemented itself as one of the best-rated novels on Royal Road of all time, with an astonishing 13 million views and has sold staggering numbers of both eBooks and audiobooks. Now, He Who Fights with Monsters gets a new life and levels up with a deluxe hardcover!

"Exciting, hilarious, irreverent, and action-packed." -- Matt Dinniman (New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl)

About the series: Experience an isekai culture clash as a laid-back Australian finds himself in a very serious world. See him gain suspiciously evil powers through a unique progression system combining cultivation and traditional LitRPG elements. Enjoy a weak-to-strong story with a main character who earns his power without overshadowing everyone around him, with plenty of loot, adventurers, gods and magic. Rich characters and world-building offer humor, political intrigue and slice-of-life elements alongside lots of monster fighting and adventure.

For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Cradle, Defiance of a Fall, The Primal Hunter, The Wandering Inn, The Dresden Files, Kaiju Preservation Society, and The Murderbot Diaries.
