Hey how long did this take you overall, and what inspired you

It took me a little while, considering it's outside my norm of genre. Inspiration-wise? It started with a friend's suggestion I try a parody of sorts, which I followed up with nerd-culture references (I am one, after all), taking after some trope deconstructions I've grown fond of lately, then adding a bit of 4th wall break which I love when done right. By the time I had the concept, it was a matter of taking what I think is funny and rolling with it. Hope you liked it!
I agree with just about everyone here. I was half expecting the narrative to switch at some point in a long winded speech that someone would say, "Just roll the damned dice."
I wouldn't call this a Crit as they say, but I would have started with the vaporization of the Cleric. I like to start with a bang these days. But I will continue reading. And I think the title is fantastic. Drew me right in.

Very interesting input. I'll have to look back and see if that change could work better. Thank you for your feedback!
Hahaha, humor from you my friend? I hadn't thought I'd see the day, but you definitely managed it hahaha. Great job. I already like Neet, he reminds me a lot of a character of mine, who coincidentally was based off myself, egotistical aren't I? Hahaha. Regardless I'll be reading the rest of this story, as it's definitely caught my eye. After reading a lot of your more horror related works, I'm interested how you do comedy, so far so good my friend haha

Thank you! Yes, definitely a step out of the norm for me, but it seems to be going well. Enjoy the rest of the chapters!
Hahaha...love the choice of words.

I’m not usually one for comedy, but this made me laugh out loud in the middle of my reading for pleasure class xD. The only crit I can think of is a weakish hook for the firs time paragraph, as soon as it got going though I was hooked.

Thank you for the praise and feedback! I felt like the opening could use work, so thank you for confirming it. Your crit is appreciated!
I really appreciate when people write so it makes me laugh. The world is too serious already. I didn't read the whole story but just the bits and pieces are delightful.

It's my first shot at comedy, let alone a fantasy parody, so I'm happy I could make you laugh!
Haha, I love it. Shelved. Neet sounds like some of the more irreverent NPCs from our campaign. Your style is properly dramatic and epic at times, but I love Neet's impatience with grandstanding.
I noticed a few grammatical and punctuation errors, I'll go through and Icomment them for you.

Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the corrections. I'll get to those as soon as I can. Always appreciated!
brought back some happy memories of my good old D&D days, way back when.
good bit of humour, the chapter was just a good size for some light reading.
think I will stick around for this one.

Thank you! I still play D&D and it's great inspiration. I just finished the last chapter, so welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!
I like the light-heated approach to this, reminds me of Terry Pratchet's Death character. Very entertaining
