Description

Psychotic friends, crumbling humanity, ancient monstrosity—Zain had faced it all since the apocalypse. Even destroyed Clans that controlled whole Planets.

But betrayal was one thing that never changed for him. So when his world collapsed around him from the deepest treachery, he decided to flip the whole table with his dying breadth. Leaving a twisted gift for those traitors.

Then fate pulled a wild card. Zain’s back at the start, given a shot to change it all.Except this time, it would be different. No more friends, no more allies.

And the gift he left behind? Yeah, that's one thing that he would have to handle on his own.

What to expect

-2000 wordson average per chapter.- Slow-burn, long, and immersive story.- ASummoner System that’s seriously restrictive, pushing Zain to his limits.- Mild Murderhobo. The MC will be ruthless when needed, but he will not kill people just because he feels like it. Most of the time.- Clans and Family Theme. Bloodline organizations.

If you've spent anytime at all on Royal Road, you'll be familiar with the style and tone of this story. There is bold text denoting stats and leveling, systems, dimension hopping and reincarnation, a school bully, lightning arrows, etc. It is all exactly as you've come to expect, and is better for it. Comfort food, as it were.
Stylistically the story is, for the most part, smooth. It moves fast, so be prepared to pay attention. I will admit it is a little bold text-heavy for my taste--especially so early on--but this is a preference. I know readers who enjoy LitRPG more than I do will be happy to find stats right at the top, and then unrelenting throughout every chapter.
There are some grammar issues, but they may have more to do with formatting oversights than with poor writing. I encourage the author to go back and do a careful read through their chapters looking for instances where sentences end abruptly in the middle or are missing words. Should be an easy fix and help the quality of life for readers a great deal.
Zain is a cool MC. I find his motivations a little muddled at this early stage, but it could be simply because not enough has happened yet to give him an opportunity to really make difficult decisions or grow in his thinking. I'll be interested to see where it goes.
Story-wise I have no notes. It is what I described above: Exactly what you expect. And this is a compliment. Writing true to a trope is hard to do, and this author does it very well. They're delivering comfortable fare to their readers. If you like LitRPG heavy on stats, reincarnation story-lines and powerful MCs reduced to weakness, this is a story is for you.

I just finished reading the beginning of "Apocalypse Reset," and I have to say, it's got some great stuff going for it.
The descriptions are rich and do a good job of evoking atmosphere and image, with some good sensory detail, eg. cold wind and the burning debris. The author does a fantastic job of creating a tense atmosphere that pulls you right into the scene. The use of sensory details really brings the world to life.
The plot is immediately gripping, with high stakes and tension. On early reading, the system looks good, and the story leans heavily on popular tropes without falling into the trap of cliche or unoriginality.
Zain Valerius, the protagonist, is compelling from the start, which is crucial for these types of stories. His resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming odds make him a character you want to root for. His reflections on trust and betrayal add depth to his character, making his struggles more relatable.
The grammar in "Apocalypse Reset" is solid, and I've got few, if any, quibbles.
"Apocalypse Reset" is off to a fantastic start with its engaging writing style, intriguing plot, and well-developed characters. Give it a try—you won't be disappointed!
