I Am Not Goblin Slayer Novel

Gauss arrives in a fantasy world with an adventurer's handbook that strengthens him by killing and cataloging monsters. Expecting to battle dragons and demons, he instead becomes trapped in an endless cycle of goblin extermination—these creatures breed relentlessly and overrun the land. As his goblin kill count climbs into the thousands, so do his rewards and increasingly embarrassing titles. From "Goblin Butcher" to "Goblin Specialist" to "Goblin Nemesis," each evolution grants him devastating anti-goblin abilities: bonus damage, stamina restoration, and an intimidation aura that weakens goblins in his presence. Despite eventually earning impressive titles like "Dungeon Conqueror," "Redscale Bane," and "Scourge of Tiamat," Gauss faces an unfortunate reality—everyone insists on calling him "Goblin Slayer" first. His monster compendium has made him the goblins' greatest nightmare and history's most prolific goblin hunter, much to his growing frustration.
