Hidden: Class Handyman #2

The Beekeeping Bard

Rate this book
Jack’s journey in New Earth is just beginning—but things are already getting complicated.

After completing a rare quest and unlocking an unusual class, Jack’s life is more chaotic than ever. His parents think he's attending vocational school (he’s not), and his breakup with Lydia still stings. Despite the doubts creeping in, Jack decides to stick with his new gaming career—he’s in too deep to quit now.

With the support of friends, system prompts, and a bit of stubborn determination, Jack sets out to see just how far he can push his quirky new class. But will this path be the right one for him?

Join Jack in the second installment of this cozy coming-of-age litRPG series, where hard work, friendship, and a little bit of digital goodness come together to shape a young man’s future.

Hi there! I’m Cássio, and I write clean, wholesome LitRPG. My work has gathered over 2 million views on Royal Road.

My stories focus on progression, crafting, VRMMO systems, cozy vibes, and characters who grow in meaningful ways. If you like animals, aliens, good-hearted adventures, and worlds that feel warm instead of grim, you’ll probably feel at home in my books.

I share early chapters and behind-the-scenes updates on Royal Road and Patreon, and the finished books slowly make their way to Amazon.

Welcome, and happy reading!

10/10

Started after reading Pacifist and couldn't put them down. I'm really glad that the story is different but with similar flavors. I'm interested in learning about all the random crafting and honestly it's helping me get my own creative juices going. Heading to book 3 next.

really good

This book doesn’t have as ton of flashy fight scenes and I line it all the better for it. It shows the real grinding it takes to get good at something

A very readable coming of age series

Jack starts as an arrogant idiot in book 1 but changes his attitude bit by bit as he struggles to make a go of earning a real ( fictitious) life wage online gameing.

It's been a while since I've thrust myself into another book in a series that wasnt EH with such intensity, but I actually stayed up to start the third one last night, meaning this review is coming the morning after.

This one followed up from the first book quite nicely and had a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, necessitating the progress. The story itself was much like the first one, in that its relatively low-stakes and bordering the idea of cozy-adjacent LitRPG.

I love this idea and how its being presented. Its not filled with stats and numbers, but instead giving the reader an actual look into the growth of the MC as a whole.

4.75 out of 5 severed thumbs-up.

The Beekeeping Bard is the second book in this series, and while it doesn't have the world building setup of the first book I like so much, it does have plenty of skills, players actually helping one another instead of tearing down everyone else, and of course, some interesting classes to watch grow. I liked this one, and already have the next book ready to go. This is an interesting series so far.

Interesting

Little slow but the story is progressing well. There is no epilogue at the end just a cliff we dive over.

This is a great slice-of-life crafting story. It's calm, it's wholesome, and I'm already looking forward to what Jack learns next.

MC is much less cringe in this book. Worth getting through the awkwardness in the first book if you like the general progression, mechanics, and world.
