Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

A young computer science major is betrayed by his computer and dies to some stairs.

Will he learn to survive in a strange new world filled with sights unknown and magic aplenty? Will he upend magic theory and make his name known? Or will he succumb to the many dangers the world of Helsa has to offer?

It's hard to say, but one thing is for certain — he really does not like stairs.

What can you expect reading this?

- A unique and vibrant world full of sights unknown and danger around every corner!

- A witty and sarcastic style of narration canonically written by the protagonist!

- An unconventional magic system that interacts with both the world and itself in strange ways!

We have aDiscordnow too! Completed art as well as concept art from the illustrator can be found here in addition to worldbuilding notes and conlang info by yours truly!

I’m not gonna make this review fancy and write a whole thesis on why you should read this, I ain’t a linguistics buff, (though the author of this novel is) but really, I like the humor, I love the world building and how well defined this story, it’s characters and well, basically everything is. The magic system isn’t just some game mechanic or gimmick, it’s a part of the world and by extension a part of its people. It doesn’t exist for the sake of the main character but rather it exists for the sake of existing. The characters are people, they don’t just exist to love or hate the protagonist, (but the characters as of chapter 15 aren’t really That fleshed out though they’re by no means completely two dimensional though some of the gods seem to be very nicely written and Sanon is best girl) I’ve never been great with English nor with articulating my sentences though I will say, most novels on this website are just lit-rpgs and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were written with AI because of how bad the writing is and how everyone just magically loves or hates the MC and he gets all the maidens and is stupidly overpowered for no reason. This novel as of chapter 15 at least is not that. It’s a story that I have had a blast reading and it’s something that stays on my mind. I think about how people will do things in this world. How they’ll live and so much more, I like the story and I hope that the author will continue to blow my mind away with good writing and better character development and overall I really hope that the author uses this story as an opportunity to learn and sharpen his skills and make more great stories for me to read. Lmao, I said I wouldn’t write a thesis yet here I am.

The text shows that it was written with a light hand. There is a reasonable amount of sarcasm in it.
As in any isekai, the main character almost immediately resigns himself to his fate (not in a negative way). The characters are not made of paper. At the moment I'm happy with everything.

I really like this one. It's light, and has the right amount of sarcasm woven in to make it enjoyable. As someone who deals with stuff through sarcasm and bad jokes, i can totally relate to the character. No idea yet where the author is taking this, but so far it's fun. Nice description of the whole mental process about falling down the stairs and what might've happened afterward. Also love that the mc isn't a picky eater. I'm waiting for the next chapter.
