Skills Beyond the Rift: A GameLit Fantasy Comedy of Useless Jobs, Accidental Power, and Multiverse Mayhem
One moment, he was a warehouse mule in a virtual MMO—next, he wakes up in a world where magic is real, logic is suspended, and tailors are more feared than warriors.
Armed with a mishmash of so-called “useless” professions, he bumbles through a chaotic realm filled with eccentric heroes, delusional gods, and dangerously bureaucratic alchemists. Forging becomes political, cooking turns lethal, and bookkeeping? It’s practically black magic.
He never asked to be a hero. But when you accidentally kill a dragon using origami, people start to talk. Welcome to a world he never wanted… but absolutely refuses to take seriously.

The story feels more like wuxia than litrpg to me. The MC is obsessed by becoming stronger and is hardly interested in the outside world. He seems disinterested in women, entertainment and comradeship so far and doesn't explore the world if not forced to.
He seems to be conent to improve himself through constant efforts to impress everyone around him.
Criticism and comments
The variation of the kingdom's name are irritating. It is alternatively referred to as France, Francis and Franconia.
The same goes for Rotterdam, which is refered to as Lotterdam and Lotherdan later.
I found the MC's behaviour at the robbery unlikeable as he merely watched as the robbers hurt several people and only intervened when it affected him.
The fight with the two handed sword inside the narrow confines of a medieval tavern made me laugh.
First Merlin, Cromwell and Saruman, now Gryffindor and Rotterdam, in later books Goethe etc. The names used are not original.
The growing tendency to repeat statements several times is getting annoying.
