This looks very promising. I'm sucker for stories where you travel to different world as it allows you to learn things about the world itself without it feeling shoehorned. Plus I always enjoy what if scenarios.

This feels a bit like Far Beyond the World but so far it feels like this has better pacing and less mewling from the protagonist. Yes, he is frightened and upset but the story is still carried forward and he is not stuck into single room for months, so me likes.

I'm just hoping it doesn't devolve into a situation where the whole plot is centered around the protagonist as some sort of mythic savior. I always enjoy more the "unfortunate sod getting pushed into events beyond his control for laughs of some trickster figure" stories - and the beginning with the old witch felt like this might be one.

I'm looking forward to more updates. It will be interesting to see him adjust to being a lion and explore the town and the world... hopefully there will be more updates!

hmm I would recommend "Roads yet traveled" by CryptidDog. Um you end up in space in another galaxy and There are 3 dogs you end up working with eventually. and "Wayfinder" by Lavan. in this one you encounter 3 wolves and depending on which one you pick you do travel to another world but the method involves dreaming.

You might enjoy Hero's Advent. It's thematically "stranger saves the world" but I feel it's pretty well paced. You are still very much a hero in training in current update but there's a decent amount of changes in scenery. I just wish I could choose to boink both Max and Rai in it. Preferably at the same time.

If you like FBTW pacing you might also like the Taste of Fire. The human character is native but pretty much a tabula rasa. I almost skipped it because of the slow start, but I feel it gets better as you go. You still have a situation where the MC is stuck in the same room for a long time and then turns from pushover to competent pretty much overnight, so a bit of disconnect there. It's way slower than the Hero's Advent.

Orveia is also a human in strange world themed but the game is more like adventuring/exploration game. A bit like the Outland Wanderer where the MC is a goat... I mean dragon offworlder. There's story in both but it's not a 100% linear and it puts a lot of focus on exploration.

Then there are tons of others I like but don't fit into the theme at all. Some more like adventuring games, others story focused, and a lot of sex romp ones.
