NOTES

My Life in Another World Sucks is an Isekai deconstruction. It takes what is perhaps one of the most popularized genres from the orient and goes away with the most common of its tropes; no LITRPG statistics, no Cheat Skills, no hidden Game Mechanics for the protagonist, whose name 'Hum', is on one hand the abbreviation of Human and on the other also one that changes throughout the story.Hum remembers a past life in another, better world, but all he has on him are the clothes typical of the country he is in, and a back-breaking job in a clay mine. As a raiding party composed of both humans and beast folks raids the village and takes him as a slave, his main prerogative isn't to achieve the Harem of his dreams, or incredible cosmic powers.It's to endure the hardships ahead of him, and find a place where he can truly belong. Appearing into a strange foreign world stuck in a past filled with anachronisms where multiple culture and languages mix and intertwine through trade and war, an amnesiac from the modern times will come to live in it, perhaps changing in a fundamental way through his actions the fates of hundreds or even even knowing it. From the humblest and most terrible of beginnings, Hum embarks on the quest that humanity itself has, throughout the ages, marked: that of enduring their reality in a search for a better tomorrow
