Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Masterful story telling… happens to be LitRPG”
Most other literary RPG’s tend to focus on the RPG element to generate interest/value with the reader. This book makes the RPG elements just feel like a tool for good story telling.Have you ever thought of the deep emotional impact of choosing a "class" for the rest of your life? This author did.
— Kyle, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Horrible title great book”
Book is amazing if you can get past the hokey bad title.The world and characters have an amazing depth and complexity. The MC goes through a lot and makes it through without being a cringy edgelord. He’s even offered a cringey edgelord class and refuses it. Everyone here in the reviews that are complaining are ignoring the fact that the class he ends with allows him to create and manipulate his elements. Basically making him a mage of glass. You know, giant glass spears, puppets, basically an earth bender from Avatar.
— Audiophile, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “very involved story with great narrator “
This was well narrated and very well written. A series i will be finishing. What ever happened to concise simple reviews? why did I need fifteen words to say I liked it?— Daniel Luhrsen, Audible listener
