Story
When quiet Orrin and his extroverted best friend, Daniel, were transported to a strange RPG-based world, not much changed between them. Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Only when they faced a particularly lethal foe did Orrin step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth—with powers he didn't know he had. Of course, Daniel got all the glory, but Orrin doesn't mind. He's just happy they're both still alive.

When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and that was before the moon turned red and filled our world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what's left of humanity slaves under the heels of our Qi-infused masters. The luckiest of us might even become one of them, they say—if we serve the Dynasty well enough and harness the power of Qi. But I want none of that. I'm sick of serving, and I want nothing to do with their world. Instead, I want them to pay for what they did to mine.

In the blink of an eye, a wiki editor’s deep and somewhat unhealthy understanding of a game becomes useful, usable knowledge when he inexplicably replaces the once-cruel royal bastard. Before he can start to push his frail body to use his deep understanding of the lore to handle the imminent apocalypse, or go off to stop an invasion, there’s a more personal task he needs to handle first. His cousin has a knife in her hand, and death in her eyes.

In just seven days, the world will crumble. The System's Descent will usher in a new era of chaos: wild animals mutating, monstrous creatures emerging, and the cessation of modern technology. Humanity will be left defenseless. Drew Wright knows none of this. At least not until he is rudely ripped from his bed and thrust into a white room to undergo a taser-happy ‘Tutorial’. Turns out, he is one of a thousand randomly selected people to be forewarned of the approaching apocalypse. Now, he faces the delightful task of convincing his wife and mother of the devastation hurtling towards them.

Publisher's Summary
In addition to strength, steel, and courage, a hero discovers he's in need of a friend, in the first installment of a daring and dangerous fantasy adventure.
When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere.
Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway. Naturally, Daniel is classified as a "hero," while Orrin is—also naturally—relegated to the fantasy equivalent of "bleh." Nothing new there.
But in this realm populated with lethal foes both inhuman and inescapable, sticking together matters more than ever, and soon Daniel and Orrin will discover more about themselves—and each other—than either one thought possible. In fact, Orrin just might find the confidence and strength to become something other than your average sidekick . . .
The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

An interesting twist on the LitRPG genre
I enjoy LitRPG, but sometimes it feels like the genre is stuck in a rut.
Enter: I'm Not The Hero.
The book shows us the perspective of the character who WASN'T chosen to be the hero...you know, the OTHER one. The hero's best friend and sidekick, who isn't all powerful and isn't always right. And while some books would take this idea and run with it by turning the hero into an anti-hero, this one doesn't. The hero is a good person, and so is our main character.
The worldbuilding is solid enough, and the voice acting is well done. There's some drama, some strategizing that the reader can follow, and some mistakes made that readers can wince at. And there's some captivating hints that our main character might just be the main character by the end of the series - even if that's not true in book one.
I'm willing to give this series a ride. It's better than most, and I like where it's going.

good start to a series
I did like the audiobook overall, however it was really hard getting used to the narrator saying system words the way he chose. I'm going to check reviews on book 2 to see if that was corrected. otherwise the story is nice, I like the characters and I'm excited to see where this can go ....as long as the narrator stops the nonsense lol

Definitely scratched the itch
With so many series on the go and having to wait what feels like months for some of these series to come out. I landed on this series and have absolutely no regrets. Will purchase book 2 when it comes out.
Only dislike: whenever the narrator says the word hero. It’s always emphasized. I get it for the first chapter or two but it definitely got annoying later in the story.

I really liked the story for the most part, but I got really annoyed by the main character complaining, and how he is supposed to be smart but makes the same mistake every fight... then complains about it. Outside of those issues it's pretty good.

Good story annoying narration style
Love Nick Podehl but WHY did they have to sub in that ridiculous voice any time something regarding a class was said. Even mid sentence like wtf. HERO! HERO! Almost made it unlistenable. Good story though.
