Lots of broken bones, a dim-witted RPG system, and a dash of magic; Skeleton in Space.
Douglas is a simple summoned skeleton, formed from an old battlefield when some ancient fossil of a necromancer raised him for a nefarious purpose.
His memories are a bit foggy, but who cares about remembering when there is walking to be done! Or stabbing cows! Douglas loves life, the simple joy of doing repetitive tasks - like battering down a large tower door - is all that's needed to keep his clacking bones satisfied.
But just after he completed his most recent task, the wizard he was fighting took out a weird crystal… and now there are stars everywhere. Will the floating, freezing skeleton find out what happened? Or will that wrecked spaceship on a collision path be the last thing going through his empty skull?
Come join Douglas the magical skeleton as he tries to live a fulfilling life in a sci-fi universe!
Andries Louws is an avid reader of fantasy, science fiction and pretty much everything interesting since a young age. He is still thankful to the nice ladies at the local library that let him check out all those violent action thrillers, epic fantasy books and encyclopaedias without enforcing age requirements. He also studied multimedia design and computer science while devouring as many novels, audiobooks, and video games as he could get his hands on. He then started writing his own stories after reading one too many badly translated Chinese novels and hasn't stopped since.
As the title says, the MC is a functional idiot. Functional up to the point that he mainly just exists, accidentally does things, and doesn't get his s**t together by the end of the book. I regret reading this.
I'll sum it all up for you if a few sentences. Idiot skeleton accidentally gets teleported. Idiot skeleton spends all book trying to put himself together even though he has zero idea how. Idiot skeleton brings a woman back to life, sort of because it's never really explained. Idiot skeleton spends time putting himself back together. Idiot skeleton launches himself and woman into space and screws that up. End of book.
Book two will be Idiot skeleton floating in space for long periods of time with just his thoughts thst he can barely get the motivation to listen to. Garbage book and I have zero hope for any following books.
