Description

Alex had always been an orphan. The kind who wandered through life, never truly belonging. But then, against all odds, he found a place that felt like home only to have it ripped away in the flames of an unrelenting fire. Death wasn’t the end, though. It was the beginning. He awoke, not in the afterlife, but as a character in the very novel he’d once devoured in secret. A world where everything he thought he knew about fate, life, and death meant nothing.

Quick intro:
Overall so far the story is good. Our character is someone who just wants to get back to his world after being transported into this reality. Originally being an orphan but finding a caring couple who took him in, he finds a place that he feels happy and safe. Of course though that isn't what this story is about, so out of nowhere something happens(no he doesn't die) and he ends up in this other world that he has read(hence the name of the series). He knows how some things will play out but, I don't think he remembers everything. Also as a actual nobody he goes out and gets a path to at least survive in this world. He does not become insanely powerful(hallelujah), instead he is just a guy who understands he ain't strong enough. The path is kind of like an assassin that uses items/tools to gain the upper hand(I think). As someone who wants to get home and not die he will likely gain an upper hand in fights by tricks and or expendable basic items, but not in raw strength or powerful abilities(I think).
Story so far(I'll try to just give an overview, but I ain't a professional...):
Our guy(name is max), is in a school(yeah this is common, but nothing wrong with it(personally I'm slightly a fan of school/academy settings).), dirt poor, and do in fact struggle in life like the rest of us. Training in his path he kind of has no progress until he finally gets an ability(drum roll please)...a fast short dash with a knife slice at the end(proceeds to put laughing noise). Okay in all seriousness this ability is decent, but is mainly best as the first stroke move. After gaining this progress, which is 1 part outta who knows how much, and after a school class activity, our guy being the totally grand MC needs money cause he's poorer than your 'in debt college student'. So as normal, he goes into a dungeon(I think.....man if you couldn't tell my memory sucks). Some complications happen(something that is a bit bigger than a complication), but its fine and now with hi
