Publisher's summary

Sometimes dying isn’t even the worst part of your day.

Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet.

Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late. Mark will need to find allies, gain levels, and face countless horrors in order to survive his second shot at life and prove that he's more than just a bog-standard hero...

With over 4 million views on Royal Road, this is no ordinary LitRPG. Bog Standard Isekai is a slow-burn, incremental, magical progression fantasy containing slice-of-life elements punctuated by moments of intense violence.

For young adults

This is a good entry point for a series. Young adult oriented with the content.

A stand-out book

I very much enjoyed this book. It kept me interested and it kept me wanting more. I liked the xharacters, the system and the world building.

And the narrator is simply excellent.

I can't wait for the next book

outstanding story and epic narration

This is a Wonderful story on of the best in the genre highlighted by a wonder Narration performance. I look forward to the next book with much enthusiasm.

This was so good

My 5 stars doesn’t mean it’s a 5 star book I just mean it’s worth the credit and listen. Too many bots these days but I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Rare find

Pretty good story. I am half way through but already checking for the release date of the book two

outstanding

this was a great story, I can not wait for the next volume. the person reading did an amazing job

I read this book over and over again.

I was very excited that this got released on Amazon. The narration of the story does not disappoint. I viewed Mark as more of an adult. Like a typical isakai protagonist. However, after hearing the voice acting. I think I finally see him as everyone around him would. A forlorn, emotional and reclusive teen. I got alot more sympathy for the village now.

good isekai

fairly standard reincarnation isekai. The system is a bit rough. The main character gets screwed over and over. Holds well over all.

great flow of time

I enjoyed this story but mostly I loved how the author used time, it was just perfect.

Really good.

There is a lot to like here. From beginning to the end the story is well rounded. Plenty of action, comedy, and worth the credit. Some parts of the story are predictable but it never feels mundane or lazy just a little predictable. There is a portion in the middle that seems to drag a little like the author was searching for the right direction for the story to go into and while the author searched for a story direction the characters more or less do nothing.

The narrator did a great job the men sounded like men and the women sounded like women. The vaste number of cast members made some voices sound similar but never the same. Great job.
There is one chapter that is repeated. Like 45 or something idk and in to lazy to find it.
Great story will buy the next one.
