The narrative follows Bob, a man who has led a life of hardship and is stuck in a thankless job, feeling overlooked and unappreciated. His only companion seems to be his cat, until his life takes a dramatic turn for the worse. The story takes a twist when Bob is thrust into a new reality where he must fight to survive. The story is set in a world where characters can gain classes and level up, introducing a new power system. Bob's journey is marked by his struggle against adversity and his growth through knowledge rather than reliance on a specific 'cheat' ability. This aspect makes his progression relatable and grounded, as it's a path that others in his world could potentially follow. "Monroe" is praised for its solid writing, coherent plot, and the relatable, reasonable growth of its main character. It's recommended for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre and are looking for a story with good pacing and a protagonist whose advantage lies in knowledge and experience.
