Description

Dreams are a funny thing. Brent Davies, teenage MMO junkie and light novel enthusiast, once dreamed of being transported into a fantasy world based off of a video game where he could start a new life with new skills and powers.

One day,the young man’s dream comes true, but it isn’t the kind of game he was expecting. There are guns, bombs, and a bizarre pink rabbit mascot who expects him to fight the 99 other people who were brought to this new world with him.

A new life of glory and riches may indeed await, but Brent will need to survive first. And maybe learn how to shoot.

A LitFPS where not everything is as it seems.

Every day on Royal Road I wade through a sea of uninspired Isekai web novels. Authors churn out story after story, centering them around some ‘unique’ gimmick, as if this one minor difference will make them the new Mother of Learning.

IBR’s narrator, the voice in your ear guiding you through this comedic romp, lovingly describes the misadventures of Brent Davies, the main character, as famous nature documentary commentator David Attenborough might narrate the first steps of a baby foal as it stumbles through an unfamiliar environment. The narrator’s sense of humor is quite possibly the best part of this story, and makes me literally laugh out loud xD
Brent is a teenager: insecure yet idealistic, as many high schoolers are. But he’s also brutally honest with himself at times, in ways that we might neglect to be with ourselves, and the narrator spares no expense to poke fun at it. Seeing him experience his own highs and lows with such sincerity, we cringe with Brent at his fuck ups, and rejoice with him in his victories.
AND THE MEMES! Every chapter has references to classic or cutting-edge memes, which are so cleverly integrated into the prose that they’re easy to miss. But I get the biggest grins when I notice them, as, like the Spanish Inquisition, they are so unexpected yet appropriate for the scene.
There’s also a sense of mystery and world-building that’s surprisingly deep for an Isekai comedy. Battle royale games are a simple concept, but what if the participants missed their own lives, came from their own universes, and had to think about life after surviving such a brutal tournament? The author puts a lot of effort into making the character in
