Story
It would be an understatement to call Trevon Beaumont an accomplished monster slayer. He's traversed the European countryside upholding the legacy of his clan one completed mission at a time for the whole of his adult life. Now he's on his most perilous quest yet: slay the cruel but beautiful Countess Dracula. Just as the two of them seem ready to conclude their final battle, however, an unexpected act of betrayal sends them hurtling together through time—bloodbonding them, thus entwining their fates.

Matteo lives on the back of a giant turtle, one of several kaiju that roam the land. It's the only place safe from the hordes of monsters roaming the forest below. Everything from goblins to grasshoppers make living on the ground deadly. Matteo's new job is to kill those monsters in the giant turtle’s path, pest control for their home kaiju. He just has to survive the training. Unfortunately for him, the other recruits hate him, the mortality rate for recruits is sky high, and every outing involves fighting monsters that can easily kill him.

All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Story
Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach. However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple. Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights. These old monsters will teach Sen everything they can, from the art of the jian and spear to the mysteries of arcane alchemy.

On a typical day, on an average train platform, two warring sister goddesses found their avatars. One avatar, the young Yoshi, was swept away to the world of Ephemera to be a great hero of honor, courage, and light. The other, the not-so-young Seiji, was swept away to become a dark lord out to kill or conquer all in his path. But Seiji is in absolutely no mood for that nonsense. It's bad enough that on Earth he was a closed-off, misanthropic grouch with zero patience for other people. Now he's supposed to muster enough of a give-a-damn to lead vile hordes?

Publisher's summary
A reluctant heroine finds unexpected love when she's sent to assassinate a lonely dark lord in the first book of this cozy romantasy series.
Henrietta Doryn has never enjoyed fighting. She'd rather be in the kitchen baking cookies. But it's her duty as Warrior Princess to face off against the forces of evil. As such, she's unceremoniously shooed from her kingdom to go eliminate the all-powerful Dark Lord next door.
Keith Monfort has never enjoyed ruling with an iron fist. He'd prefer to be in his workroom tinkering with practical magic. But it's his duty to lead the Dark Enchanted Forest and the forces of evil. So when Henrietta shows up at his door, he's only too happy to invite her in for tea to talk it out instead.
Can this unlikely pair prevent war between their two kingdoms? Where do their true loyalties lie? And when will they finally confess their growing feelings for each other?
Blending the best of love stories, fairy tales, and whimsy—with just a dash of mystery provided by the soothsaying Madame Potts's enigmatic announcements—I Ran Away to Evil is a deliciously delightful start to a charming romantic-comedy LitRPG series.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG romantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Darkness has infected a sacred place by way of murder. This virus is not one that can be shared through air or water but lives within us all, and it is growing stronger. A once forbidden secret is now coming alive and it will fall upon a special class of Native American students and their teacher to try and stop it. But already the death toll is rising. For the students, this goes beyond tragedy, as many of them rely on its power to leave the chairs and walkers that have held them confined for most of their lives.

A Lovely Cozy with Depth
Henrietta Doryn of Drendil, "Level 67 Warrior Crown Princess," is the only child of King Simon and Queen Thalia who really wanted a son (they call her Henri). As is so often the case with fictional royals (maybe even with real royals, but I don't know any of them), the weight upon Henrietta's shoulders is massive, but she bears it with grace. She sets out on her journey to kill Keith Monfort "Level 83 Arcane Sage, also known as the Shadow Magician, Evil Overlord, Dark Lord, His Royal Viciousness, and the ruler of the Dark Enchanted Forest of Nilheim," with the realistic expectation that she will probably not survive.
I Ran Away To Evil is like a hug. As I listened to this audiobook, I spent so much of my time smiling. It constantly brought to mind the word "hygge" (a cozy and contented mood brought about by comfort and friendliness). Henrietta IS hygge personified. She is so sweet and friendly and would have to try really hard to make an enemy. Despite Keith's title and the fact that he has minions, he is a fair and kind ruler.
I don't want to give away too much of this book because the story is truly sensational. I don't want to take away your experience of what happens in Rufus's dungeon, the specifics of the contract that will allow Henrietta to spend time in Nilheim, and how exciting a story can be even if the emphasis is more on kindness than killing.
The narrators, Lara Horowitz and John McClain, are spectacular. Horowitz is the perfect voice of Henrietta and provides variation in voices so you don't get confused about who is talking. McClain's narration gave big Phil Hartman vibes. He also had great variation in character voices.
With I Ran Away To Evil, Mystic Neptune gave us far more than a great story. She gave us characters with depth, some social commentary, reminders of the importance of consent, how paperwork is a universal bane of everyone's existence, and to maybe learn about people ourselves instead of taking their titles or other people's opinions of them at face value.
Neptune gave us alliteration that gave me ASMR chills, pop-culture references, and dropped some extremely quotable lines about mental health, recovery from trauma, and valuing yourself and your own time.
This will absolutely be in my constant rotation of comfort books and I cannot wait to listen to it with my son.
Thank you so much to Mystic Neptune for providing me with the ARC to this book in exchange for an honest review.

I don't think I became an insta-fan faster in my life its like all my favorites had a baby in the genre I wanted all along an sweet baby Jesús it was about time I'm truly in love with this kinda love story so prefect it almost could be sickening sweet but just the right side of wrong to add spice owed to the disheveled devil and his petulance and propensity for paperwork now for those who like puma checks and know of pirates who know magical innkeepers this is the romance we have all been waiting for I will be waiting for the next instalment in this all encompassing and aww inspiring tale to the author bravo 🙌😍🙌😊

Fun, cozy, enchanting!
I really enjoyed this story! I’ll be listening to it again very soon. Fun adventure, with various tropes turned on their heads. I’d like to book a few sessions with Rufus, if someone will tell me how.
Loved the cameo by Jacque The Whipper!
Did not like the annoying voices the male narrator gave to all female characters except the female MC, but it wasn’t enough to keep me from listening to it. Get a different narrator for next book, or have them learn different voices that aren’t ear-destroying.

Relaxing and Hilarious. It subverts your expectations in the best way.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a relaxing story that will make them smile and laugh.
This is a great slice-of-life book. The story mostly focuses on the numerous characters and their fun interactions.
His Viciousness King Keith is a dark overlord with a very unique way of running a kingdom (his dungeons are particularly clever). It works surprisingly well. Watching him interact with his would-be assassin who he is both terrified of and interested in is also hilarious.
Henrietta the Hero is an interesting blend of joyous naïveté and hardened warrior. She’s a fun character as no one seems to know what to do with a potential murder machine that is so chipper. It was entertaining to see her explore the kingdom and meet new people.
I found this book to be funny and sweet. It starts off strong. I was laughing out loud in the first couple of chapters. The middle meanders a bit but everything wraps up strong.
Both narrators did an amazing job. Johnathon McClain especially was perfect for King Keith. His deadpan delivery was spot on.
Overall I definitely recommend this book.

Serious Litrpg fans will probably hate thi, but...
For a book that is far more silly and juvenile than i would usually like, i found myself enjoying the characters and their interactions with one another quite a bit. It's pretty well written, and sticks to it's theme reliably. The world building is interesting, and the MC's act (for the most part) more realistic than your typical romance protags. All and all, if you are looking for some harmless fun to relax to, there are far worse options.
That said there are some things i think others might dislike about this story. 1. The litrpg elements are pretty pointless and seem to only be there out of some obligation to the genre. honestly the story probably would have been better if the author had just done a straight up romantic fantasy rather than trying to to cudgel in a system they were not all that interested in. Shrug, the system is used, just not in the way most serious litrpg readers would enjoy. 2. I am sorry if this is a bit harsh, but i have to admit that sometimes i felt like the author got all their knowledge on psychology, relationships and socialism from watching Tik Tok videos. It isn't wrong per se, but it also isn't very serious either. I personally found it amusing, but i see a lot of really angry e-mails in this authors future complaining about either their "woke" agenda or their shallow leftist interpretations. lol 3. i didn't like he male narrator very much, all the female voices he did made them sound like they just had a stroke or something. It was pretty jaring compared to the female narrators more mellow voices. Frankly the story would have been better if it had just been her, but that is a subjective opinion i suppose.
If my little complaints didn't deter you, i think most would have a good time, (even if it didn't have the steamy bits i like in romance stories)

Warm and cozy litRPG
Sometimes you just want the leads to meet, slowly fall in love, mangle some mooks, and foil a conspiracy. A cozy listen. The male narrator goes a little hard on the esses sometimes, but otherwise good narration.
