I loved this premise of an isekai gone wrong. I picked this up to fight off a post-prandial stupor. Though I failed to prevent myself from sleeping, I managed to finish this before midnight.
In this isekai from the author of How to Survive at the End of the World, a man is sent to save a dead planet . . . a couple thousand years too late.⭐⭐⭐
Matt’s in the prime of his life. So when his doctor tells him he only has months to live, he figures it’s just really bad luck. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
When Matt’s Earthly form finally expires, a truck-avatar system gives him the opportunity to become a hero on the paradise world of Gaia, a supposedly verdant, rich land teeming with plants and potential. What he finds instead is a place completely bereft of life. A literal dead planet. Thanks a lot, truck.
Now, Matt’s going to have to figure out not only how to survive in a completely barren realm but also how to not go completely mad with a full load of stats, skills, and levels that might mean absolutely nothing. Unless there’s actually something out there after all . . .
