In NPCs, did you enjoy ...

... the blend of humor and fantasy adventure?

Off To Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer

If you loved the witty banter and comedic take on classic fantasy tropes in NPCs, you’ll enjoy Off to Be the Wizard. Martin’s accidental journey into a world where reality can be hacked is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, clever meta-commentary, and a playful, irreverent style reminiscent of Drew Hayes’ tone.

... the dynamic of a diverse ensemble cast on a dangerous quest?

Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

If you enjoyed following a quirky, mismatched group of unlikely heroes forced to work together in NPCs, you’ll love the crew of Six of Crows. Each character brings unique skills and secrets, and their relationships are just as compelling as the high-stakes heist at the heart of the plot.

... watching flawed adventurers grow beyond their roles?

Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames

If you appreciated how the NPCs in NPCs evolved from background characters into heroes, you’ll revel in Kings of the Wyld. The band of aging mercenaries must confront their past, rediscover their strengths, and change in the face of overwhelming odds. Their journeys are both hilarious and heartfelt.

... heroes who bend the rules and operate in moral gray areas?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If you found the questionable ethics and cunning of the protagonists in NPCs intriguing, The Lies of Locke Lamora offers a similar thrill. Locke and his gang of thieves operate by their own code, pulling off elaborate schemes in a city where no one is truly innocent.

... a lighthearted, satirical twist on fantasy conventions?

Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne

If you enjoyed the playful subversion of fantasy tropes and the fun, magical misadventures in NPCs, you’ll get a kick out of Kill the Farm Boy. Its offbeat quest, quirky magic, and irreverent humor make for a delightfully whimsical read.
