Bog Standard Isekai: Scarred

By: Miles English

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

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

Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet.

Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late. Mark will need to find allies, gain levels, and face countless horrors in order to survive his second shot at life and prove that he's more than just a bog-standard hero...

With over 4 million views on Royal Road, this is no ordinary LitRPG. Bog Standard Isekai is a slow-burn, incremental, magical progression fantasy containing slice-of-life elements punctuated by moments of intense violence.

Coming of ag

It’s a good coming of age story. With decently fleshed out characters that feel human. The bait and switch at the end was a little annoying but we’ll see how that unfolds in book 2. Narration was excellent.

Really good.

There is a lot to like here. From beginning to the end the story is well rounded. Plenty of action, comedy, and worth the credit. Some parts of the story are predictable but it never feels mundane or lazy just a little predictable. There is a portion in the middle that seems to drag a little like the author was searching for the right direction for the story to go into and while the author searched for a story direction the characters more or less do nothing.

The narrator did a great job the men sounded like men and the women sounded like women. The vaste number of cast members made some voices sound similar but never the same. Great job.
There is one chapter that is repeated. Like 45 or something idk and in to lazy to find it.
Great story will buy the next one.

Really good story.

Starts out fast then slows down a tad then speeds right back up. The Series is definitely worth the credit and listen. Can’t wait for the next book

Really enjoyable story.

I actually laughed out loud several times. I enjoyed the story and look forward to more in the future.

good isekai

fairly standard reincarnation isekai. The system is a bit rough. The main character gets screwed over and over. Holds well over all.
