I really enjoyed this book! The vibes remind me of books like: Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynn Jones, Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C Wrede, and Villains and Virtues by AK Caggiano. Cozy and somewhat whimsical/fairytale like.
The main characters were fun and the side characters were well rounded and varied. Worldbuilding was a semi generic D&D or RPG like setting but with a light satirical/comedic tone.
Romance: no spice, kisses only (very cute though!!)
I did see some problems with the editing. The first chapters were somewhat weak and having short, four or five pages, chapters made the pacing feel off. In addition there were some misspellings and word swaps such as “he’s” replacing “his”. I would recommend trying a sample or using Kindle Unlimited before committing if these things will bother you.
