A fantasy Apocalypse with monsters and Levels instead of zombies. A single dwarf to save the day.
Derek Smith (what a name!) became a minor celebrity when his friend posted a video titled "The Real-World Dwarf is a Cool Dude!".
Being a last-year high-schooler who is 4'8 (142cm) in height is one thing, but having the muscles of a bodybuilder and the face of a middle-aged biker at the same time is another. And don't you dare to bring up shaving in front of him. Did I mention that the boy's favorite hobby is smithing?
Derek always wondered if gods had sent him to the wrong world. Until, one day, Earth Awakened. With dungeons, monsters, magic, and status screens, everything became not so different from fantasy fiction or a role-playing game... Except death was real and monsters would chase you until you experience it firsthand. The sudden change brought chaos to the world, but to the young dwarf, it also brought the opportunity to discover his true self. And maybe to reunite with his real kinfolk. But only if he survived, first.
Who asked him to explore this abandoned mine at the worst time possible? Now Derek is trapped, and the only way to escape is to learn how this mysterious System works. Too bad there's no manual or teacher to help him with that. Or maybe there is? With his unlikely companions—a megalomaniac fairy, a polite dolphid, a twin ogre, and a mysterious cloaked girl—he's going to survive, he's going to learn, and he's going to show his talent as a Mastersmith!
The Dwarf, The Mine, and The RPG Apocalypse: Dwarf Smith From Earth Reviews

KU Review
With a dwarf mc it has to be a great story. I may be biased as they are my favorite race; FU Peter Jackson for making them comic relief. Anyway, this really is a good story and a great start for the author. Looking forward to what comes next.
As the title says this is a review for Kindle Unlimited and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis. -
DNF 17%
I couldn't get past the terrible grammar. Ignoring that screaming flaw, there wasn't much else to recommend within the story. It came across as fan fiction, written by an enthusiastic teenager. The structure was recognizably LitRPG but there was no nuance. For example, the protagonist evinced no sign of fear or self-preservation. Verisimilitude? I don't think so. -
Better than I thought it would be...
I was worried that it would be the same dwarf trope, cranky but strong, you know. But it was very different and I was pleasantly surprised. It does have some grammatical errors but they are easy to fix, especially considering the author is not a native English speaker. He did very well. I look forward to the next one! -
Not bad. I liked this take on a litrpg. I would prefer a more in-depth system that gives more than what a stereotypical fantasy dwarf troupe rewards. A dwarf happens to be adopted as a child on earth and he just so happens to be a master blacksmith?????? REALLY?!?!?!?!
3.5 /5 will read any sequels -
Poor writing
Perhaps targeted at a younger audience. Writing is poor and uninteresting, managed to suffer through 5 chapters. Or maybe the generic litrpg plot hook isn't enough for me anymore. -
This author needs to get in contact with a good editor .. Doing so would take his books that are poor to bad quality to good to really good quality. Its not the story itself that is the problem. Its the way its presented.

Awesome book
Kept me on tender hooks from start to finish, a few minor spelling mistakes, but very readable. Can't wait for book two ^_^ -
Legendary
Now this was a legendary book I loved the story right from the start. I loved the characters right from the start. Everybody loves a Smith and dwarf and a awesome hammer. -
Loved it
I love Litrpgs, and this one is no exception. The characters were nice, the power system was cool, and the potential is amazing. Can't wait for the next book.
