Human Insanity

An Outcast in Another World, Book 1

De: KamikazePotato

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

Rob didn't think of himself as anyone special, but when a pitch-black portal tried to wrap his best friend in chains, he stepped up without thinking and found himself ensnared instead.

His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note in his pocket stating: "Good luck."

After being thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth. Armed with nothing but a sword and the clothes on his back, he sets out on his the first day, and almost dies. On the second day, he almost dies again. On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost dies.

It doesn't get any easier from there.

Overcoming the wilds is just the first step in his journey; the society of Elatra is incredibly hostile to humans, having just come off of a devastating war that left over half the population dead, and getting the locals to trust the last human in existence is a struggle in and of itself. Between being powerless in a world that hates him and suffering under a System that is altering his mind in unwanted ways, Rob quickly finds that monsters aren't nearly the biggest thing to worry about.

As far as LitRPG isekai adventures go, Rob drew the short straw in many ways. But that's okay - all the bullshit in the world won't keep him down. He'll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He'll survive, and then he'll thrive.

Whether anyone wants him to or not.

Must enter Headline, even tho it says optional lol

I listen to a lot of these LitRPG books: This one is really good.

It has a few rough edges, but don't they all?

I typically don't write a review unless I really liked a book. Good use of a credit.👍👍

One of the best books this year...

Epic Mc has a nice sense of humor. Just a really good take on being stuck in a game like world.

Awesome!

This story is amazing! love the characters and world building! Am getting the next book!

Good not awesome.

The performance to notch. The story worth while and interesting. The characters likeable and enjoyable. The crunch and over use of punctuation as description annoying.
Good enough to get book 2.

A unique take on the isekai genre

KamikazePotato has written an enjoyable novel that contains humor, poignant personal loss, prejudice, over-coming hardships and lots of challenges; although, interestingly, very little in terms of quests. Also, where in other litRPG novels they have the MCs whisked-away and never to return, this novel seems to be holding that option open.

I enjoyed the story and Neil Hellegers performance made for pleasant listening experience. I look forward to continuing the series.
