Welcome to Litsy!

So far, the two LitRPGs I‘ve tried were a bust. Hopefully this latest listen can redeem the genre for me. You would think a gamer who loves playing RPGs and reading fantasy would take to it immediately, but so far it hasn‘t worked for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

What would happen if a work home opened up inside an IKEA? Where would that wormhole lead to?

Lots of humour and action in this anti-capitalist multiverse novella. Ava has recently broken up with Jules and is called into work at LitenVärd on her fay off, hoping the won‘t run into Jules there, but things start to get weird when she goes in search of a missing shopper, lost in the store.

I loved this one just as much as I loved the other book in the series. They're so different, how does Cipri manage that? And they're still sort of the same. It's amazing. And I do get the appeal of that one, and why many people prefer “Finna“. Well, I hope that there are going to be more books in the series. Or more anti-capitalist sci-fi novellas by Cipri.

Honourable mention: The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection

An IKEA-esque store contains wormholes/maskhål which may carry unwary shoppers into alternative universes from which hapless junior staff must then retrieve them.

In the 1st chapter or so I found it too reminiscent of Horrorstör but then it took off in its own direction and I found the story great fun. Not so keen on Jules and Ava's rehashing of their recently ended relationship but I will definitely be watching out for the next in the series.

What a fun, wacky, adventurous read! I really enjoyed this, and I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Ava thinks going back to her retail job after breaking up w/ a coworker is going to be hell. & then both of them are voluntold to rescue a lost customer through a multidimensional wormhole. Should be easy, right?

Such fun! We get clear views of who Ava & Jules are, & then wacky adventures! Such world building for such a short novella. A bit more ambiguous ending then I usually prefer, but I‘ll hope that‘s because there will be a sequel.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Ava and Jules have true emotional issues they need to work through individually before they can mesh as a couple. One is a highly anxious person, and the other is free spirit. I related to both. I try not to get on people's nerves, but my impulsiveness just throws that goal out the window.

Any author could write about the trials of working through the pain of young love, but Nino Cipri set their work in the multiverse. So clever and cute.
