I'm halfway through Frugal Wizard and it's an interesting concept!

I haven't started Goblin Emperor yet. I came across it one reddit when I was searching for good fantasy stand alones. Sometimes I need a single or double book series to break up these massive series.

Yeah, I do the same. I think I mentioned before, that I am reading Dresden Files these days. This was one of the standalone novel I read before starting the third book today.

Oh nice! I used Dresden to break up my big ones. Hard to consider Dresden anything other than massive. I enjoyed the whole Dresden files even though people complain about how it changed from the beginning. He does a good job of keeping things interesting.

I have only read first few books, didn't find the next book, so stopped reading. Now getting all the books and reading from the beginning. They are really fun, but reading them back to back can be a bit boring.

I agree. It's good to mix in some other things. I treated the majority of the Dresden Files as filler novels between other series and it kept it nicely fresh
