Stumbling Up: A Loser's Guide to Progression, Book 1

In a world split between [Mundanes] and [Adventurers], Cole rolled the worst specialization imaginable: [Self Criticism]. One drunken mistake later, he’s conscripted into the Adventurer's Guild. First stop? A deadly [Trial Dungeon] with a sarcastic slug, a mysterious goth, and two best friends who are absolutely not qualified for this. Richard is a ‘foot-long’ telepathic jerk with a gift for emotional damage. Leo is a pink sweater wearing himbo with a double-bladed axe and a hit first mentality. Tandy is a genius crafter with a deep and irrational hatred of sheep. And Meredeath? She’s not in Kansas anymore, but she is kicking monster butt in platform boots. Together, they form [Your Mom’s Party], the dungeon’s least-likely survivors. Join them as they stumble towards glory treasure power adventure. Welcome to the party. Try not to die. Stumbling Up is a heart-wrenching adventure comedy about three friends tackling their quarter-life crisis by pursuing adventure. It's a stat-light LitRPG like Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl, Shirtaloon's He Who Fights With Monsters and James Hunter's Discount Dan series. These are not your average OP main characters. They're the underpowered losers we’re all rooting for.
