1. The Kaiju Preservation Society
A down-on-his-luck delivery driver is unexpectedly recruited into a clandestine scientific organization that studies and protects gigantic kaiju living in a parallel ecosystem reached through a portal; what begins as a temp job becomes a fast-paced mix of monster action and workplace comedy as the team works to preserve the creatures while fighting off corporate and military forces that want to exploit them. The protagonist learns the ropes amid bureaucratic absurdities, ethical dilemmas about conservation versus profit, and growing personal bonds, leading to high-stakes rescue missions and battles in both worlds. The novel pairs sharp humor and social observation with energetic monster-adventure storytelling.
