The Ill Starred Knight (Weak to Strong, Underdog, Idle Clicker, Broken Build)

George wakes in a white room with no memory, a ticking countdown, and a single red button. He's fifty-year-old father trapped inside a deadly idle game. Even worse, George's entire progression path appears to involve clicking a button over and over while stronger players carve their way through the game around him. Then he receives a cheat-code ability. Suddenly, the more danger George faces, the sharper his mind becomes and the more time slows around him. What begins as a desperate fight for survival slowly transforms George into something terrifying—a time-bending knight in magical armor with an AI sidekick in his head.  What to expect:  • Middle-aged underdog MC who grows on you as he rediscovers his own identity and learns how to survive• LitRPG + clicker/incremental progression• Creative system exploitation• Scrap-built machines, traps, and automation• Deadly survival trials• Slow-burn progression into an endgame monster• A friendly, but sarcastic AI companion with lots of banter• Sci-fi/fantasy apocalypse• Found family
