Sometimes dying isn’t even the worst part of your day

Mark has been reincarnated into a dead town, one that has been recently destroyed and occupied by ravenous undead. They disappear every day and return again at night, mindless and hungry, hunting for any survivors. He’ll need to use cunning and subterfuge to avoid them, because since he was transported into the body of a child, he can’t level up. At least not yet.

Bog Standard. It means “totally normal”, right? But for the small towns found in these bogs, there's no quick rescue and not much trade. Everything has to be made to last. To them, it means "excellent quality". Mark will have to prove he's Bog Standard if he hopes to survive.

This is an Isekai of excellent quality. It’s a progression fantasy set in a LitRPG world, rags to riches with an eventual OP main character. The pacing is slow-burn, incremental progression, sometimes slice-of-life, punctuated by moments of intense violence and possibly traumatic content.

Updates are MWF at 11:00 am MST unless otherwise stated, for as long as the author can keep up this pace. Collapse

    A very good story to read. The world isn't very complex and it doesn't have all the standard drama found in isekai. It's simple, but it has a lot of history to tell, and it does so in a way that always leaves you wanting to know more. The only problem I find truly annoying isn't even with the story itself, but with the chapters. I don't know what happened, but every few chapters they upload a bunch of old chapters and we have to keep searching for the next one. It's really annoying. Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about.

    What a nice novel to read - I'm up to book 2 ch 12.

    We have a person isekaid (computer science nerd, not some former assassin or special forces or something) into the body of a child which was trapped in a village with undead running about destroying everything. This is in a greater region called the Boglands which is part of a nation.

    There is a system, classes such as leatherworker, warrior, farmer, bard, that kind of thing. People have stats that they can raise by leveling or training them. The exception is children, whose status is locked until they're about 14.

    Now the plot so far is holding out then making a living in a medieval type town. The boglands are threatened by the existence of the undead army, there are evil classes like witch, corpse eater, and so forth that plague the civilized world. The local and national governments try to root them out and destroy them.

    The novel is a decent paced slice of life thus far in the world. Quite descriptive, quite immersive, and people act like people normally should act, without the young masters, kowtowing, or "You dare!"

    I don't want to spoil the novel, really, so I won't discuss the class of the MC. He is a "child" adopted by a guardian "illusionist" who knows about his past life. The MC is a balanced, normal person. On the kinder, more patient side of the spectrum. Not willing to romance "children" his age.

    The book is quite impressive so far, a pity it has so few chapters. Of course, in a printed book, it would be considered a normal sized first book of a series. I'm looking forward to following it some more.
