Understanding Isekai

[ Also Available on Royal Road ] After a painful breakup, a 28-year-old literature teacher is unexpectedly transported to a mystical medieval world with his loyal college assistant. In a land where words have the power to shape reality, their literary knowledge becomes their greatest advantage. As they explore this strange new realm, they uncover a dangerous secret: the godlike creator has lost control, and now the characters are alive—and free to make their own choices. ______________________________________ What to expect: 1. Narrative Driven, the story may be a litrpg but the focus is less from the stat blocks and more to the characters and plot. Although, the stats are still very much significant.  2. Conflicts are real, this means that the main characters don't just get better and move on from past traumas right away. Improvement is gradual. If you don't like waiting, or feeling pain before having the strength to overcome it, this might not be for you (sorry, I've decided to take it to the unconventional direction) 3. There is a potential slow burn romance subplot and potential love interests depending on plot progression and audience interaction. But, I'd like to make it clear that this is not a harem. 4. A whole lot of literary allusions, if you enjoy popular and classic literature, you're in for a ride! 5. Explores the struggles of a modern day teacher in depth. This story is a quest for redemption,  6. The main characters are human, this means that they aren't the typical Mary Sue or Gary Stew kinda characters. Capable of making good decisions as much as they're capable of making mistakes. ______________________________________ Sidenote: It isn't excessively violent, in fact, it's the opposite. Just wanted to put the warning since some chapter has mild descriptions of violence. Erring on the side of caution would be best. ______________________________________ This journey is a quest for redemption, a confrontation of past regrets and the reimagination life and love in a world as fluid as ink on a page. 

Disclaimer: This novel is a cliché Suggestion: If you like (Slice Of Life) with wonderful parents and survival, this is for you. *** Like every (Isekai) protagonist, I got reincarnated after getting hit by a hyper-speed truck. That was an empty and dark life anyway, so I was already looking forward to a decent, unknown afterlife. But... the world had a unique thing in mind. In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that. My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant. Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally. This was the life that anyone would love. Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents. Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts. But dying wasn't even a question. I will go back… to them. * The novel cover is not mine. https://discord.gg/ExYHhhv4mn Still lacking but, join if you want~! The update will be mostly 1Ch/day.

Follow her as she adapts to her new reality and faces adversity to find a place for herself in the complex dynamic of humans, dragons and everything in between. --- This is my first story on this platform and any overall that I publicated in any way, so do keep that in mind. I also write it most for myself so don't expect regular updates. Anyways, if you're staying, then have a nice read. --- Also this is not my original idea, but my take on a fanfic by Majo_Kuro_Akuma that has been dropped for around one year as I write this (title: Not so tamable).

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.

Faris adalah seorang pria muda Indonesia yang menjalani hidup penuh perjuangan, hingga sebuah diagnosis kanker paru-paru stadium akhir mengubah segalanya. Dalam detik-detik terakhir hidupnya, Faris mendapati dirinya berada di antara hidup dan mati, di sebuah ruang gelap yang dihuni oleh entitas aneh berwujud samar-samar. Entitas itu mengklaim bahwa Faris memiliki "potensi" untuk mengubah dunia lain, tetapi dengan cara yang tak biasa. Entitas tersebut menyerahkan sebuah revolver bolt action antik yang unik—senjata yang terasa berat namun asing di tangan Faris. Tanpa penjelasan lebih lanjut, Faris hanya diberi 10 peluru, tak lebih, dan langsung diteleportasi ke sebuah dunia yang asing. Dunia itu penuh dengan makhluk aneh, bahasa yang tak dimengerti, dan bahaya di setiap sudut. Kampretnya, Faris tak pernah diajari bagaimana cara menggunakan senjata itu. Ia harus belajar dari nol—cara mengisi peluru, membidik, dan menembak—sementara ancaman terus mengintainya. Di dunia ini, setiap peluru adalah harapan terakhirnya. Ia terjebak dalam dilema: menggunakan peluru untuk melindungi dirinya atau menyimpan amunisinya untuk sesuatu yang lebih besar. Dengan rasa takut, penasaran, dan tekad yang tak sepenuhnya utuh, Faris harus bertahan hidup di dunia yang kejam ini sambil mencari jawaban—mengapa ia dipilih, apa tujuan dari senjata ini, dan bagaimana ia dapat pulang, atau setidaknya menemukan kedamaian yang tak pernah ia rasakan. Sepuluh peluru, satu revolver, dan dunia asing yang tak mengenal belas kasihan. Mampukah Faris mengubah nasibnya, atau akankah ia kehilangan segalanya?

Marcelo Moreira, a 15-year-old solitary young man, lived an ordinary life, dealing with school routines and his own problems. But everything changes when he and his entire class are summoned to a medieval kingdom with the mission to defeat a terrible demon. What should have been a heroic opportunity turns into a nightmare when the demon invades the summoning ceremony, kills the responsible mage, and possesses all the students, transforming them into deformed monsters with horns. For unknown reasons, Marcelo did not receive any powers during the summoning and, therefore, was the only one who escaped possession. Now, lost in a strange world full of dangers, he must cope with the horror of seeing his classmates — and the girl he likes, Kaori — turned into murderous creatures. Without special abilities, relying only on his determination, Marcelo discovers that there may be a way to free the possessed. But to do so, he will have to face unimaginable dangers, survive in a cruel world, and, above all, find the courage to confront his own fear. With his humanity put to the test, Marcelo embarks on a journey full of challenges and difficult choices. Will he be able to save his friends before it’s too late? Or will he be consumed by the darkness that threatens to destroy everything around him?
