<p>"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds."</p> <p>Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic isekai story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world.</p> <p>When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he'd be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash.</p> <p>Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him?</p> <p>This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I've written, and I hope you'll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I hope to post one chapter per week, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.</p>
