Description

Where were you when the system came and the world ended?Me? I was an innocent bystander in a shootout between mobsters and spawned monsters.

I was just meant to be a programmer. Now I'm a goddamn summoner.

    Loving the story so far!
    I was a little iffy about the underboss and dog combo in the beginning, but they have really grown on me. The start of the story was a little rocky for me personally, but it smoothed out pretty quickly. The main character, Devon, has a good head on his shoulders, even if he gets lost in thought a bit.
    My only real issue is that the descriptions of mobs and the like are plain text, which makes it a little hard to tell where system/litrpg elements stop and regular content resumes. Perhaps you could use boxes, symbols, or a linebreak of some kind to show where they start and end? Just a thought, it's up to you after all.

    First and foremost most, it is definitely noteworthy that the author started a fiction before and mysteriously just stopped writing after 9 chapters, and at this point they haven't updated in over a week even though they said 3-4 chapters a week. It could just be a life getting in the way right now situation, fingers crossed, but it might be worth waiting so you don't get invested if the story is just gonna be dropped.
    Honestly the story is hitting a lot of those perfect marks. It has a decent tone to it, not broody but also not sunshine and roses. I really like the way the summoner class is working, the convenient cheat he was given was a bit meh, i really wish he had to work for it more but honestly it isn't even that bad. I'm definitely eager to see what the setting is going to be like once we are outside of this beginning part, if we ever do.

    I really like this story. The writing style is good, and the story is evolving as it goes on, revealing more and more interesting aspects.The one thing that limits me is that this story is currently following a pretty standard path so far. I am excited to see how the story evolves into something  more interesting. The characters are fun and they have great growht as they grow together.

    The story has a strong start and the MC is interesting. What happens when a bunch of mafia goons get stuck in a system integration? Nobody in the story seems to be a saint, but the contrasting dialog between the MC and the 'sidekick' are enjoyable.
    The writing is solid. It doesn't get bogged down in long explanations all at once, but pieces together what you need to know at that point in the story. The snarky dialog occasionally felt a little forced, but what's cool is they aren't settling into a single thing. The relationship is evolving and at ch 16, I'm really interested in seeing how the dynamic between the two will change after the latest encounter.

    OK, this isn't my cup of tea, but part if that may be it really isn't what I was expecting. With that in mind, here's what I think you need to know going into this:
    -Lots of really, really over the top action sequences (like to the point where it's humorous).
    -Absurd plot pivots based on luck, coincidence, or narrative flair.
    -Silly, exaggerated characters that can be very blase about outrageous things.
    The ridiculous characters tumble from one implausibly action-packed crisis to the next surviving solely via style, incredible luck, and narrative enthusiasm.
    I think it's quite well done, but neither what I expected (hopefully this review helps others avoid that!) nor what I was looking to read.
    I think if you're in the right mood, and know it for what it is, this could be a wonderful treat for you. Enjoy!
