System Error: Normal Life Not Found: A litrpg Comedy
Alan Fredrickson died the way he lived: confused, annoyed, and probably behind on emails.
After a mysterious apocalypse email transports him into a game-like fantasy world, Alan is given a character sheet, a sword, a spell menu, and absolutely no meaningful training. His new guide insists this is “not his fault,” which is not nearly as comforting as she seems to think.
Now Alan must level up, loot corpses, complete quests, and survive a world filled with bizarre monsters, broken mechanics, dangerous weirdos, and tutorials he definitely should have read.
From goblins and giant rats to dungeon cults, arena bosses, and a legendary goose problem, Alan’s new life is one chaotic quest after another—and somehow, he might be getting good at it.
A fast-paced, funny LitRPG fantasy adventure full of absurd monsters, sarcastic banter, explosive magic, and one deeply underqualified hero.

I wanted to like this book but I really didn't.
I thought it would be funny and was looking forward to supporting a small author.
But this book wasn't good. The writing felt very lackluster and the characters felt bland. I mean the "system" and world felt pretty interesting but the characters and writing really brought it down.
I'm hoping the author uses this book as a stepping stone towards new heights because I know there is potential.
