How to Avoid Death on a Daily Basis

What if you were transported to a fantasy world with no special abilities, no OP weapons and no status screen to boost your stats? Never mind finding the dragon’s treasure or defeating the Demon Lord, you only need to worry about one thing—how to stay alive.
A group of young Brits wake up in a strange, fantastical land with creatures from myth and legend. They are given archaic weapons they don't know how to use and told to do their best.
Convinced it has to be some kind of virtual reality RPG, all the people summoned form parties and set off on their adventures, leaving behind the people nobody wants in their group.
Story of my life, thinks Colin.

Well-written
Well-written and engaging. A little worried that the author isn't sure where he's going, but then, GRRM lost sight of that years ago and we still keep reading. :D I've devoured the first two books in one day, and enjoyed them so much I bought one on Kindle just because.

I dont do long blathering review mainly because im to lazy to go into the virtues of each and every aspect but this was story is well worth reading and highly entertaining. So 5 out of 5 for me
and anyone who disagres can go eat a 6 week old chicken wing

Don't miss this gold nugget !
I know, the setup is overused, we have seen thousands upon thousands of story of young people being transported from their world to another, facing monster and magic !
But don't let that fool you, this is not any fiction, that's THE story.
Others already did an excellent job describing story style, plot, character and etc, for my part I will be content to say it is one of my favourite story on RR if not the one.
It sincerely deserves 5*.
Thank you dear Author.

I liked this story so much that I requested my brother to give me his account to 5* this story
It's an awesome novel, the author releases a chapter 5 days a week which is amazing but you know that humans can't get satisfied by what they get so I hope that the release of chapters increases even more.

A savagely honest look into a fictional reality
A great comedy adventure series that just gets better and better. I was doubtful at first due to the main character's initial belief that the world was a video game setting, but I was soon won over by the author's amazing writing, world building, moral debates, character development, and originality. This is a series that does not pull its punches. How To Avoid Death On A Daily Basis is a fantastic read that takes various tropes from stereotypical generic hero, virtual reality, and fantasy series and mocks them in order to show how moronic they really are. Combining this with a brutally honest main protagonist and realistic side characters, How To Avoid Death On A Daily Basis is one of the most hilarious and painfully satirical adventure series I've ever read. Well done, mooderino, I hope this series gets the attention it deserves because it is without a doubt one of the best on this site.

Brilliantly funy
Probably the funniest story I've read in RRL; very clever plot, approachable MC and generally fantastic.

If you wished for an Mc who uses his brain, no cheats & is not stupid like generic ones. Look no further.
By far one of the most entertaining stories i have ever read. I enjoy reading the story viewed from the Mc prespective. Author did a damn good job of it. Mc uses his smarts and logic to deal with problems he and his group face. The story focuses on the reality of thing and those generic rpg story settings are merely an illusion to believe that life is fair and humans are the only righteous thing. Mc does not give 2 shits of killing thing that obviously had no second thought of trying to end his life in the first place. All im saying is "justice is served without hesitations" . I will put this story in one of my all time fav reading list. Hope mc stays the way he is.

worth reading, would be willing to follow, rate and favor
strikes the perfect balance between comedy and sarcasm. really enjoying this one.

Good fun and realism.
Good comedy and love the snark of the main character. The storyline moves a bit slowly sometimes, but the pragmatic point of view of the main character is refreshing and more realistic than the run of the mill fantasy stories. The writing quality, grammar and construction, is excellent. I look for and anticipate the daily update of this story.

funny but nothing eales

STYLE SCORE
the author has a way of creating a very amusing story yet fails when it comes to absolutely anything else needed to have a compelling story. the few good parts of this book are the ones where the mc isn't involved in any of the ongoing plots and is just out there fighting some mobs the author makes those interactions intriguing and funny.
STORY SCORE
the story was entertaining when it was just the mc and his crew taking on random adventure tasks and had no overarching plot, but once there was anything like a plot introduced it just became more and more convoluted and nonsensical. we were introduced to something like KonoSuba and got caught up in some shit that doesn't make sense making us lose out on what made the series great in the first place.
CHARACTER SCORE
the characters where always grating and annoying to a degree especially the mc it only got worst in later chapters
