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.

Great start to a series

This book i had a hunch about the moment i read the authors name, it seems a fad lately to have a odd author name in this genre and it seems to be a mark of a good series too haha. The MC in this book could use a little bit of a nudge towards sucking it up but its not as bad as some books ive read. I really think the first part of the second book we will see him having grown a good bit. I cannot wait to see what happens next and this is all any author should crave is that very statement!

Great litrpg

I loved this book, a great start to a new series. The writing style is reminiscent of Eric Ugland. Looking forward to the next installment!

Very strong start for an Isekai

For what the book is about it does an alright job at making you realize he was just a normal guy. His attitude towards everything was pretty justifiable at some points and just goofy at others. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes transported to another world or Isekai storytelling. To summarize it up it does somethings well and the narrator really made the book tolerable during the goofier parts of the story. Looking forward to see if the author keeps this decent story up for the next book or it falls off.

HOT DAMN!

This book should be listed as one of LitRPG's finest. It is refreshingly different from the dozens of cookie-cutter stories out there in this beloved genre. The author has employed a divine mixture of familiar tropes that then take radical turns in the story, all while actually making you invest in the characters.

And let me tell you, the end's fight sequence is absolutely gorgeous---convicting, original, and motivational.

I entered this book with the hopes of a tide-me-over, and I got a 5-course meal instead.

Recommended

Neil Hellegers (the performer) suggested when we chatted that I might like this series. He said it was among the best in the genre. And I agree. His performance is also excellent: if you've ever wondered if you can hear someone quirk their eyebrow, the evidence is here. (Good story too: I've already started the next one.)

Solid!!

This is a Solid Story so far!! First book was definitely a good start to the series. I have to honestly say I was pleasantly surprised and I laughed a lot throughout the book. Ready to start the second book… so if ur on the fence, I say give it a try!! It’s def worth the credit!!

Fresh new take

I really enjoyed some of the fresh new elements the author put into the story. I can’t wait to read the next.
