Unexpected Healer: A Fantasy LitRPG Isekai Adventure (Earthen Contenders Book 1) Kindle Edition
鶹
Against his will, Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth, to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world. Unfortunately for him, something occurred during his transference into the “Training” program, and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal.
Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden managed to survive, only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and no way to defend himself. Worst of all, the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge, which ended up sticking him with a Support-based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities. As an Assistant Healer, none of his spells did any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to!
But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon. Sure, all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean when he seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?
This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-combat Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

As for me, I had worked in retail for most of my life but have been an avid reader of fantasy books since around age 12. In addition, I have been playing videogames since I got an Atari 2600 when I was 5 years old. Consequently, I fell in love with the LitRPG, GameLit, and Dungeon Core genres when I first learned about them. Currently, I have 72 books published and more on the way!

- Reviewed in Canada on February 26, 2025Verified PurchaseThis is the first time I've read a book in this genre and I was pleasantly surprised. I really had a blast reading it. Definitely looking forward to reading the next books in the series.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2024Like many of the other stories in this genre, the mechanics are similar to roleplaying video games. Except unlike video games, there is no effort create a balanced hero. In fact my experience has been that part of the genre involves making the hero as unbalanced as possible in as unique a way as possible.
Unexpected Healer takes a nobody and turns him into an overpowered videogame character. The twist here is that (as evident in the name) the hero is supposed to be a healer. I say supposed to be, because there are several gimmicks used to make him anything but.
First of all, the hero starts the story with "weak" spells that somehow make him immune to all damage. On top of that, he has unlimited resources to use those spells and the spells also cause massive damage thrugh various environmental mechanics.
Things get even more unbalanced when the hero encounters a type of monster which is supposed to be strong but is actually uniquely vulnerable to his healing magic as damage. Add all this together and the hero powers through with little to no risk to himself.
So while the overall plot is predictable and not very original for the genre, the delivery is pretty good if you are a fan of it.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2024Verified PurchaseI love OP books. I don’t care for books where they struggle and fail because they just aren’t strong enough.
This book hit a lot of my favourite LitRPG buttons. I love OP and I love healers. I rarely read system integration books but this one sounded interesting, and it was. I’ll definitely read the next as soon as it’s out.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 16, 2024Verified Purchase...Because the second book isn't out yet! Just kidding, sort of, I see it was only released in February. But I HIGHLY enjoy it and want more in this series. :) Excellent start!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2024Verified PurchaseWow this book came out of nowhere. It’s so well written and I love the characters. The premise if more unique than most in this genre and Ivery much enjoyed it.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 27, 2025Verified PurchaseThe story starts very slowly and the MC comes off as an idiot quite a bit. He is in a desperate situation to survive and yet he ignores all of the prompts that would probably help for almost the first 20% of the book. The start of this is very week after the initial intro and I almost dropped it. It picked up later and I intend to keep going with the series so finger crossed
- Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2024Verified PurchaseFun, well paced, story of overpowered main character. I prefer the plot lines of this compared to The Fusionist. Worth a read.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is a great story if you want an OP MC. Personally I think the character progression is out of control.
As a healer class I was expecting this book to be more team oriented but the series might not be going in that direction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Description d’un jeu vidéo. Banal en Personnages et Actions
Verified PurchaseJ’ai survolé les pages, tellement j’étais énervée de l’accumulation de niveaux, grades, ’pouvoirs’ , de descriptions de combats et d’auto interrogations du ’héro’. Trop peu d’échanges et dialogue. Pourtant j’adore le genre Fantazy et les challenges souvent proposés à un apprenti doué

5.0 out of 5 stars OP healer
Verified PurchaseThe fantasy story we did not know we needed. A healer not able to fight traditionally but still able to level up in true Litrpg fashion. Even after the completion of book 1 I am left with quite a few questions and mysteries that need answers while being entertained by the action

5.0 out of 5 stars Glitched Into Survival and Excellence.
Verified PurchaseOf the millions of humans the System kidnaps from Earth, Thaden is the one that same System mishandles. Apparently the System's method of handling its errors is to eliminate them. Fortunately for Thaden the System makes a second error, it fails to eliminate him. Instead it simply kills him and drops into the world of Tarth. It can be argued that the System has made one more error. It didn't revoke Thaden's status as a Contender, so, for an unknown period of time, Thaden won't stay dead no mater how badly damaged his body becomes. Let the trauma ensue.
This is a typical LitRPG title; in that game like mechanics allow the main character to monitor and direct his development with a status report (a.k.a. character sheet), he grows more powerful by defeating foes to gain PICK (Personal Internal Combat Knowledge, a.k.a. experience), wealth, and gear. It is less typical in that Thaden is made a Support Class when he enters Tarth. He's not allowed to use weapons nor offensive spells. Gaining PICK will be . . . difficult.
This may s an excellent read for those who like the LitRPG genre. It can be a great read for those who like fantasy novels—they will just want to skip some of the status reports and other blocks of game mechanics minutiae.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great new story twist
Verified PurchaseThe book starts a little chaotically and ill-defined before it settles down after a few pages.
Here we have a failed system assimilation essentially giving the hero the affects of program cheat, but at the expense of knowledge about the system itself.
I found this a nice twist to the storyline, then as things develop we find out more about what's happening and a sort-of explanation as to why.
While I found some silly typos, there were not many and they didn'r jar like some they do in some books, the book and story were really good and very enjoyable. I liked the characters and the world being portrayed. Now for book 2...
