Shared Insanity

An Outcast in Another World, Book 2

De: KamikazePotato

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

A chain, a portal, and darkness. That was all it took for Rob's life to go from the mundanity of college to being forced to survive in a hostile fantasy world full of horribly mutated creatures.

Despite discovering civilization and making allies, his newfound home was sadly short-lived, leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces and make for greener pastures. Having won the respect of the locals via a heroic almost-sacrifice, Rob travels with them, recognizing the importance of having people around to watch your back.

After all, if he's learned one thing since arriving to this strange new world inhabited by monstrosities and ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, it's that death is lurking around every corner.

A botched meeting with the Elven ruler's soldiers leads to thousands of people, Rob included, fleeing to the northern wastelands. Ambushes from monsters and men are the least of his worries—dealing with the system's assaults on his mind and the occasional eldritch abomination are far worse. As Rob slowly loses himself, fighting to stay as a person his loved ones back on Earth would recognize, he realizes that surviving just for the sake of seeing the next day isn't going to be enough to keep him sane. He and his friends will need to kindle their spirits, band together, and learn to support each other both physically and mentally.

By all rights, they'll perish. They're the underdogs, and world history isn't kind to those. Every inspiring legend of success is built on the graves of a thousand defeats. Society, the system, and the very world itself are against them. In the face of odds like that, what can they possibly do?

Simple: survive.

want more where's book 5 came out a while ago what is the hold up

great listen

love niel helligars. always does a great performance. I love a narrator that can portray many characters

Fantastic

It has been awhile since I’ve enjoyed an Isekai as much as this. While I feel like Kira’s character development is a bit slow, the characters give a depth to everything that proceeds in their on-goings. The world building is fantastic and I’m very excited for the next installment.

A great follownup from book 1

Great follow up from book one. Some real character growth being done with fun and engaging story telling. Sometimes serious/sad and other times hilariously funny

One thing i find a little annoying is the frequent times the MC becomes to emotionely dmg back and forth on the mental panic/sadness and moral troubles get played up a lot but it is improving in a more mature/stable direction with the help of friends/allies.

all in all a Great book that i enjoyed

If you liked sheild hero

This is a isekai that feels so real. the man character is never like oh so cool I have to survive ever day and never know what has happened to my friends and family. Oh everyone hates me and wants me dead. It does have so funny moments that he uses to break up the sad train.

Surprising depth

Rob, the hit sponge, develops in to a profound character. Fighting the status effects, i will be vague if you have yet to listen to the story, is a great writing device that adds originality. This genera is great escapism, and Kamikaze has separated themselves with a well thought out story. Overall outstanding.

Well worth your time!

The story develops, the hero has a journey, and the narrator has quickly become one of my favorites in the last few years. Good confluence of quality writing and narration.

Complains to much

The main character complains way to much and sulks for most of the story. He is always crying and sad and can’t function for much of the story. No one wants a main character to be that messed up for things. Crappy second book.

great stuff

awesome listen. narrator was great, and the story and humor did not disappoint. recommend giving this audio book a try.

Good for me, maybe u will like it too.....

great storyline and halfway realistic for hood alternative to same old rpg knock offs that plague the library
