Description

The shadow of greatness is flooded with the limelight.

In ages past, the world was wracked with changes, flooded with monsters while humanity gained the power of the gods. Yet that is the past. The present is filled with youngsters desperately attempting to grow to the heights of the original heroes, while old monsters in human skin struggle for supremacy, and daring explorers search the cosmos for dangerous things to poke with sticks.

As the younger brother of one of the most famous trailblazers, Derek Thoma is expected to become strong or die trying. And when is older brother returns from outer space, the pressure only intensifies, even as centuries-old threats rear their ugly heads.

Can Derek climb to the heights only reached by ancient heroes, or will he be crushed under the weight of expectations and hostile forces?

Apocalypse Continuum is the sequel to Apocalypse Redux, but can be read without knowing anything about the first series.

The first series is currently onAmazon(and Kindle Unlimited, and Audible too)!

There are also multiple sidestories, including unpublished World Boss battles and AU stories, which can be found as a separate fiction (on RR as well).

A very interesting twist for how monsters are brought into the world. Main character seems intelligent yall knowing athough hes from the future. Characters seem to hold some weight both to him and the the story. Although he does have an edgelord stealth rogue build i dont fault thoma for sticking to hus roots to guarantee strength they trying someone elses strategy. Overall a solid novel so far and i cant wait to come back after a backlog of chapters is built up.

Just finished the last chapter and I must say this was a good one. The story was well though out and the system made sense.
The fight scenes where easy to follow and the MC had believable motivations and experienced character growth both emotionally and as a leader of people.
It was a fairly standard redo the apocalyse story but it stands out because it actually had an ending and for the consistant writing.
If you enjoy redo stories I would recommend you "reado" this one.

I really like this.
There a few stories about at the moment about rational people dealing with fantasy problems in one form or another and it's great. Yes it doesn't lead to a lot of Big Drama but if I was dropped in the past I'd feel weird about people I love being wiped from existence too. The battle scenes keep me engaged when my eyes often (mostly) wander over these days and the characters are building up well. Maybe a bit more of his colleagues as they are a tad merged together for me. On the whole this is fighting for my favourite story on rr.

This has been a blast to read from the start and I have enjoyed each chapter. The author is doing an amazing job wiriting this and you can see the effort.
The stories pacing is very well done with some skips but they are very well done/placed. The MC is relatable and not overly OP. The MC does have an absurd amount of power comparatively but most of that comes from his explainable experience. Well thought out and intelligent MC overall.
World building is well done with the system coming to life in front of us and the MC being experienced enough to make the explanations fit the story. Also having the world explained the way that it's done is genius.
This is a great story and worth your time to read it.

The story is wonderful with a well written main character it takes some more common tropes and uses them in unique and intresting ways. The world is well planned out and holds lots of potential for more interesting future stories. If you want a story where the main character does not seek to be the most powerful this story will work for you

This story is a very interesting variant of the "I can start from the beginning and do it better" storys. Instead of concentrating on the protagonist strengthening himself with the knowlegde of the future and keeping it for himself, its concentrating on him making a real difference and sharing the information as far as possible and just getting stronger as part of it.
A wonderful REALISTIC story.

How is this series not one of the top recommendations on this site!?!
It absolutely deserves to be. I've been a fan of this genre for *years* and only just heard of it a few days ago. I binged all three books on Kindle Unlimited, and the 100+ chapters on Royal Road in less than week. I have no idea how people are sleeping on this gem.
It's incredibly well written, even the chapters on Royal Road have very few typos and the grammar is good. Not a lot to say there, it's on the same level as all the top recommendations.
The progression is extremly satisfying, and the MC is OP with out being ridiculous or unbelievable while taking a pretty unique path to power.
There is a real plot. I can't stress this enough, there is actually a plot beyond just gaining power. There is actually an end point in sight for the series. It doesn't seem like there is any risk of it becoming one of those stories that just continues forever with no real plot or ending even hinted at.
The system and class evolutions are unique enough to stand on their own, but not so far out that it's hard to follow. I'd say the system is most similar to the system from Primal Hunter, but with its own unique twists. There are plenty of skill upgrades as well as really unique classes that are rarely explored in this genre.
The world building it fantastic. It's dark without being hopeless, and is laid out in an extremly logical manner. It's our world, but changed by the system, and wow did the author do a good job of portraying how that would effect the world and its people from politics to the economy, all the way to restaurants and schools.
Where this series is an absolute stand out is the characters though. The characters are absolutely 10/10. They are believable, flawed, and yet still likeable. They have depth and relationships that don't all revolve around the MC. They are intelligent and have their own goals and motivations. The MC himself has actual depth. The things he goes through change him, and he has
