The Otherist: Arrival

A LitRPG Adventure

Level up, unlock more video game powers, and save the world. Sounds straightforward, but nothing ever goes smoothly. An Unorthodox Apocalyptic LitRPG.

The Aurora Incident, the Great Transmigration, the Immortal Arrival, and that time I suddenly got video game powers, everyone had their own name for the day that the boundaries between worlds were violated. To the humans remaining on Earth, it was the day that a million people vanished in an instant, carried away by columns of light descending from the heavens. To Isaac Stein, an ordinary 17-year-old boy, it was the day he got a fresh start.

Isaac finds himself on Tautellus, an alternate version of Earth filled with magical beings thought to exist only in legend. Isaac struggles to establish new ties and harness his newfound game-like abilities, but just as he begins to thrive in his new home, it is savagely ripped away by the invasion of a hostile nation.

Driven to prevent others from meeting the same cruel fate, Isaac must brave the harsh wilderness, overcome betrayals, and wage war for his survival. In the meantime, he stumbles upon secrets of a long-lost magitechnologically advanced civilization and their ancient enemy. An enemy that now seeds war and chaos throughout the land as they attempt to seize both Tautellus and Earth.

pretty realistic MC, story improves as it goes

enjoyable listen, though it takes a bit to get more interesting. worth a listen.

Good story!

Good story and written well. MC seems like a good person and trying to do right thing.

It had potential

It started off decent. The MC betrayed at the worst time by people he trusted, but then immediately after he decided to become a merchant and blacksmith. Then the whole village was destroyed and massacred, and he decided to go to the next city, spread the word, and read books?

I was hoping he would have decided to get strong enough to defend himself and the people around him, but he just read books and build stuff. He ran from almost every problem until the end when he eventually talk over a thousand people to sacrifice themselves.

The only excitement came from the AI taking over his body and actually fighting and saving the city. And immediately after he cried about it.

I wanted him to grow some balls and learn to fight. Go for revenge. Something!! And why was he so weird about learning magic?
