What is Kingdom of Loathing?
Kingdom of Loathing (abbreviated as KoL) is a browser-based, multiplayer role-playing game designed and operated by Asymmetric Publications, including creator Zack "Jick" Johnson and writer Josh "Mr. Skullhead" Nite. The game was released on February 23, 2003. Because content is still being added frequently, the game is still considered unfinished and officially remains in open beta.
It uses hand-drawn stick figure graphics and writing characterized by surreal humor, word play, parody and references to popular culture. In KoL, a player's character fights monsters for experience, meat (the game's currency), and items, through a turn-based system. Players may also interact with each other through player versus player competition, participate in the in-game economy by trading goods and services, organize their characters into clans, work together to complete dungeons found in the Clan basements, and speak to each other in many different chat channels.

Comments and Reviews
I don't know why the alternatives coming up for KOL (Kingdom of Loathing) are mostly all clicker games. KOL is nothing like that. It is a real RPG which you can play alone, on your web browser. There are also communities to join and compare stats, get help, etc. I don't know if KOL Radio is still going. I listened when a friend was DJing there.
KOL is fun, sarcastic and it really is free. Yes, you can get a thanks for donations to the game. But, playing free is great, donations are not required as far as game play. This is not a Facebook style game which limits your game play for dollars.
KOL is a simple game to start, then it evolves as you get deeper into play. There is a guide to the game, it helps when you get lost or forget where you were and what you were working on when you last played.
Simple to play. Sarcastic. But it's really all about the great artwork.
