Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.
This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

This by the way, is another pet peeve. Make your fucking mind up. This book is about a guy who trains as a melee fighter, a soldier in a roman legion style company. And while we read about him fighting with melee weapons, training with melee weapons it's also revealed he's the most insanely overpowered mage in recent history. He just has to "slowly" (buddy, you don't know what slow means) unlock his power.
Which he does via the OP powers he instantly unlocks and the INSANELY OP artifact he almost instantly acquires.
I'll buy book 2, It's a decent filler book while I wait for something better to be released. But damn man, stop lying in your blurb.
PS. We are talking literal orders of magnitude more powerful than other powerful characters overpowered btw like, world breakingly overpowered magic potential being rapidly unlocked.
Okay book about an INSANELY overpowered MC

The MC gets transported to a different world, and is quite frankly fucked. He is not super overpowered, and everyone around him can essentially kill him. He does have some special abilities... but for a very long time he is unable to fully utilize them. This leads to an interresting story about him having to adapt
Great story with a different take on isekai

It’s rare that you find a gem like this. I am usually very judgmental when it comes to writing as I dabble a bit in writing as a hobby, but this blew me out of the water.
It is exactly what I want from a progression story.
First the powers:
It has an MC with awesome powers, while giving him enough weaknesses that he can’t just steamroll everyone. In fact, most monster, characters etc. feel stronger than the mc, which I really appreciate. The mc also gets progressively stronger, but it’s slow.
The world building is first class. The whole Roman concept is amazingly done. It just keeps getting better and better.
It also keeps being a soldier book, with banter, different characters in the squad and hard moral choices etc.
There is tension, action and the pacing is marvelous. Main issue is that the book is too short, but luckily there is a second book, with a third coming in a month.
What really brings it all together though is the excellent writing and narration. Combined with
Just buy the book, you won’t regret it.
