Summary
Imagine waking from a three-year coma in an abandoned hospital, on an Earth that has recently fused with a different dimension.
Last I remember I was saving my high school crush from the path of an oncoming truck. Now I'm a skin-and-bones weakling wearing nothing but my hospital gown. Oh yeah, the world is also full of monsters, and I'm the only human left.
It turns out a godlike System evacuated humanity but decided to leave the vegetable in the bed. From the moment my parents named me Lex Lurker, I was destined to be ignored. Everyone else has received a chance to prepare for what's to come in the Tutorial. I've only gotten a snarky talking cat for a companion.
I could crawl into a corner and wait to get eaten by a kobold, but after years of being asleep, I have a new appreciation for feeling alive. And for all the chaos, there are game-like rules and magical powers that could help me avoid becoming a meal and perhaps even thrive in this hellscape.
But first I'll have to find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some dark truths about myself. Whispered voices call me the Hope of Humanity, but it turns out I might be the villain of this story.

Not a lot really happens
The main character is this is a cool, confident leader who almost always grows up to be a powerful tyrant having been groomed for that from birth as we are told. In actions he is an incredibly nervous, stammering, bumbling weakling.
Then he gets whisked into another world that is a mirror of his earth with dragons etc. but he never leaves his hospital where he can fight kobolds.
His love interest's story is honestly the more interesting one but she gets no time in the book. There's lots of prophecy, chosen one, special MC, sarcastic cat etc. But I've just seen it done better elsewhere.
The story could really, really do with proper pacing and things happening. It's just so slow and lumbering in places that it's easy to get distracted by anything else. Needs an editor to attack it a bit. The narration was fine.
