Outcast in another world
This review was written after I had read all three published books. I’m waiting on the Kindle version instead of reading on RR so I can give the author my money.
If you liked HWFWM, Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter, or Randidly, you’ll like this series.
Initially, I was worried when the starting chapters felt very close to both DoT and Primal Hunter. Young white man in a forest with dangerous beasts… I’ve read that

too many times for it to still hold the magic it originally held with me. Luckily, the similarities to other works vanish as book one progresses, and our MC (Rob), confronts a few facts about the world he finds himself in. Things like:
Grass is colour coded based on the initial national borders.
There is some form of infection spreading in the forest.
There’s a settlement of elves nearby.
Oh, and there was a continent wide war against the humans only a few years ago, leading to the race’s extinction and the death of about half of all people on the continent.
Rob, as it turns out, is up shit creek without a paddle. His sole benefit is that humans have the

The Grand Game by Tom Elliot is a LitRPG novel that follows the journey of Michael, who wakes up in a dungeon with no memory of his past. As he navigates through this mysterious world filled with swords, magic, and dungeon exploration, Michael must level up, find a way out, and survive the challenges presented by the Forces of the universe. The story is gripping, with a well-defined magic system and a protagonist who is not overpowered but clever in his tactics. The writing style is engaging, the plot is intriguing, and the character development is consistent, making it a refreshing take on the LitRPG genre.
Despite facing a clearly stacked deck and playing under false pretenses, Michael manages to control his own destiny through persistence and imagination. The book offers a unique premise of being brought into a Dark vs Light video game world without memory of the previous life, setting it apart from other LitRPGs. The story is well-paced, with a focus on dungeon exploration, smart MC, and a nice plot that keeps readers hooked till the end.
An Outcast In Another World
One moment he’s just a guy on a hike. The next, he’s been yanked into a world that runs on stat sheets, strange magic, and hostile intent—and absolutely no one is happy he’s there. Not even the gods.
What begins as an accidental isekai turns into something far messier. The protagonist, a socially awkward, often sarcastic outsider, doesn’t get a grand prophecy or a glowing sword. He gets rules he doesn’t understand, enemies that escalate faster than he can level up, and the creeping suspicion that the world itself might be broken.
This is not a hero’s journey in the usual sense. The path is unpredictable, laced with dark humor, existential dread, and a mounting chaos that refuses to follow the genre’s script. Battles are brutal. Progress is earned, not gifted. Allies are rare, and the stakes climb in unexpected ways.
Set in a richly imagined realm where civilizations clash and evolution takes terrifying forms, the series blends LitRPG mechanics with sharp world-building and emotionally raw moments. What starts as survival slowly mutates into something much more dangerous—something that might reshape the world itself.
