A novel that excels at breaking the “meta”. Set up as a dungeon crawling adventure but without the goblins and orcs, instead there are manic staplers, venus fly-trays, and endless cubes. If any of those things interest you then look no further. It’s irrelevancy is its biggest upside, allowing it to feel familiar while completely unique. With the lead character’s ease at adjusting to this pocket dimension of madness, it just makes for an enjoyable read. Also the progressively risen stakes gives the story some suspenseful moment. However where this novel shines is its comedy. With an MC who seems way too at ease in a world of insanity, the continual increase in madness, and the huge contrast of his “real life” makes for an entertaining read in a genre known to be repetitive! Imagine Alice in Wonderland, but instead of Alice it’s James, and instead of psychedelic colors it’s bloodthirsty office supplies. I look forward to James future adventures and advise anyone to do the same!

Great fiction, definitely worth a read. It is an interesting take on the popular LitRPG genre, with an intriguing setting, which to my knowledge is near wholly unique in the genre. Although it does consist of 'a dungeon' you would be hard pressed to ever find another dungeon fiction out there with a system like this, and even harder pressed to find one that is as good. I recommend this to anybody who is willing to give it a try, I promise you'll struggle to put it back down
I can confirm this version of the story has been uploaded by the real author of the story. Please check out the Discord attached to the original Royalroad upload of the story for further confirmation. This story is really excellent, characters are well written, the mechanics and intrigue of the world is as mysterious and interesting as it is consistent. The updates aren't on a strict schedule but average about once every seven days, with relative consistency.
Liked the whole office dungeon thing and the MC was ok but then it started getting bad when the MC told his roommate about the dungeon instead of keeping it a secret. I thought that totally ruined the novel for me but I stayed because I was hoping the author would fix it somehow but I was wrong, instead the author was going to add even more people! All in all,the author ruined a really cool idea because "teamwork makes the dream work!" The author was an idiot that destroyed these story a couple chapters in.

Only read this story on a whim. Really great world building as far as the dungeon. Descriptive but not in an overwhelming way. I really dont like the addition of the female character not because she's a female but more her views. Like we have to fix the world and why are you guys not doing more to help people. Forget that noise. Hopefully she'll get killed off, probably not.
