Entry metadata
Rob steps between a monstrous portal and his best friend — and gets taken instead, dropped alone into the world of Elatra, where humans are a hated, hunted memory. Levels and stats are his only edge, and 'Insanity' keeps showing up on his status screen like a warning label.
Progression: classic levels and skills under survival pressure; the mental-state mechanics are part of the system.
Reader fit: you want found family forged across species lines and an isekai that takes trauma seriously without drowning in it.
Texture: earnest, sometimes raw, ultimately warm.
