Summary

Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.

This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

Really well written

I really have nothing bad to say about it, it's like a band of brothers, but with a Roman theme and magic.

bought Patreon after audiobook.

what I loved is that the main character is continuously stomped to the ground, but continues to work. most interactions between characters feel human, like how'd people would talk to each other. much more so than most other books I have seen so far.
the author has done a couple of things really well, world building (magic and technology feels realistic, at least to my history teacher knowledge), characters, every character feels thought out, they have a goal, and won't do things without reason.

I'd say the only things that was poorly done was the main characters lack of love for his old family, and lack of information on how his Isekai part happens, you're told it from his perspective, and later you hear of reactions to that, but not of the cause so far till book 4. though an explanation isn't needed, you probably won't get it.

still, very good book and story, a bit quick on learning language on my side, but it is how it is. the audio is well done.

Great story with a different take on isekai

Great story with a different take on isekai.

The MC gets transported to a different world, and is quite frankly fucked. He is not super overpowered, and everyone around him can essentially kill him. He does have some special abilities... but for a very long time he is unable to fully utilize them. This leads to an interresting story about him having to adapt
