Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters.
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil.
He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

The beginning of this serial transported to an RPG world LitRPG is a bit ponderous but once the main character (MC) meets some other people the pacing and action pick up.
The banter between characters is a highlight of the story with jokes and friendly jabs breaking up the fights and slice of life adventures. I also really enjoyed the mid story logic arguments/discussions about moral responsibility, divine power, and aristocratic power. They provided a good opportunity to world build and show just how different the MC is from the locals and also a different way for him to grow.
There's regular power progression as the MC completes quests and good world building to explain why he has that RPG interface. The MC's power set: stealth, curses, and stackable DOTs, are used well and there's even a little moral struggle as the Mc grapples with the gruesome nature of his powers versus what other adventures can do.
Overall, a great read once the MC meets other people and the adventuring starts. It kept me up reading late into the night to keep up with the adventuring.
Score: 8 out of 10
