Fuck drugs, my addictions are audiobooks. During my peak, I consume them like Tic-Tacs. I don't care where I am, in the car, the restaurant or during sex. It is always a great addition to any activity. I am about to dive back into one of my favourite series again. My girl is going to Bali for some time, so it is great to go through the same story and have additional touchpoints throughout the day. I am also extremely similar to the main character, so I think she will understand me on a deeper level by going through this series. It’s one of the wildest LitRPG/progression fantasy rides I’ve ever been on. It has great humour, insane world-building and a surprisingly deep philosophy. But it isn't just entertainment. I believe that fictional stories help us understand each other while also instilling powerful beliefs in our lives, as we learn from the lessons presented by the characters. Here are 3 key lessons I learned from Jason in "He who fights with Monsters": 1. Power Doesn’t Fix Your Problems—It Exposes Them Jason might be one of the most reluctant heroes I’ve ever read... Every time he levels up or gains a new ability, his inner demons, insecurities, and questionable choices rise right alongside. It’s a reminder that gaining strength (in life or in a LitRPG system) doesn’t magically solve everything. It just gives you new problems to wrestle with. This one hit deep. 2. Morality Is Messy One of the things I loved most was how the series constantly challenged the idea of “good guys vs. bad guys.” Jason is moral, but not nice. Villains sometimes make sense. Heroes sometimes make brutal choices. It really drove home the idea that growth means living in the gray areas and owning the consequences. This is something I don't think most of us consider very often anymore... 3. Humor is a Weapon (and a Shield) Jason’s sarcastic, self-aware humour is not just comic relief, it’s survival. He uses it to build friendships, defuse tension, and sometimes to cover up his own fear or pain. Honestly, it made me rethink how often we use humour in real life the same way, to protect ourselves while we figure things out. As someone who is deeply interested in psychology, this gave me a whole new perspective on how we engage with each other.
