JollyJupiter
Join Pete as he establishes a tavern from the ground up after finding himself in a new world, leveling up his skills in Brewing, Shopcraft, and much more while he serves eccentric patrons of all shapes and sizes and proves he has the right taste. Trapped underground inside a dwarf's body with fantastic facial hair, Pete must rescue dwarvish beer from flat, watery swill, traveling from elven kingdoms to beastfolk plains as the Great Game of the Gods unfolds. This Cozy Fantasy LitRPG balances progression and slice-of-life with charm, humor, and tavern-building advancement.
Progression: Cozy Fantasy LitRPG Tavern-Building Progression. Explicit skill leveling where Pete levels up Brewing, Shopcraft, and related tavern skills as central advancement. Isekai reincarnation into a dwarf provides structured power scaling via skill ranks, brewing mastery tiers, and tavern expansion gates. The Great Game of the Gods and Chosen system frames divine progression, while Brewing/Shopcraft levels gate new recipes, patrons, and territory (elven ciders, dwarvish ales). Each book advances tavern infrastructure, brewing techniques, and Pete's charisma/leadership stats, verified as 'leveling up his skills in Brewing, Shopcraft, and much more' on Goodreads series header.
