-----

Jill MacLeod might be just a long haul trucker with a dirty mouth and back pain, but with Bertha the big rig under her she always makes her deliveries. When Mana, monsters, and an RPG style levelling system comes to Earth it's the end of the world as anyone knows it: the apocalypse is here. On her journey it's just Jill, her Soulbound truck, and any survivor she can find against the universe. Mutated animals, aliens, dragons, droid armies… it doesn’t matter. Nothing’s going to stop Jill from making her way home.

Blare the Horns of Valhalla and let slip the Rigs of War!

[A story in the apocalyptic LitRPG genre]

There's just something refreshing about a semitruck, mobile fortress apocalypse type story. Ok, so you run things over, 'how much more is there to mine from this concept?' you might think. Turns out, a lot.
Characters and action are a strong point, as well as pacing. The monsters are ok but not amazing. Grammar and plot are good, although at this point the big picture hasn't gone much beyond survive day to day.
One stand out part of the world building is how certain elements of tech like [obviously] a semi truck, guns, a howitzer stay incorporated into the story. There is a partial tech reset, but not forcing everyone into sticks and rocks or immediately invalidating presystem tech like some system stories do. Magical tech and character builds continue to intersect, and to me that makes for a richer world.

Just a fun, silly story. You can really tell that the author has fun coming up with innovative new ways to tell someone to go f*ck themself, and I have fun reading them. The world building is also exciting and I'm curious to see where this story goes.
Highly recommend.

This novel is surprisingly more thought out then some more well known novels.
the world building is really nice, for a few chapters I thought it was a trucker isekai but no, it's in our world and it's good at mixing apocalyptic shelters and well known towns together.
the characters are really good they seem well thought out and really well built, especially the one off characters you can quickly know how they are.
and the Mc is fantastic, finally a competent mc that doesn't immediately know everything, but has common sense and high wisdom

I love the foul mouthed wench in this story.
The concept of her and her truck just works, it really does.
If you want a bunch of monster mowing mashing truck battling fun with a litrpg that is funny as hell without being a spoof, then this is the one.
Slicker than a truck over mashed up monsters slimming up the road, just be prepared for the walking driving shooting ram raiding swear jar of an MC who had me in stitches enough times to give my abs a workout so far!
I don't have any critique, I'm biased by liking it too much.

How do you wanna fight monster, sword and shild, magic. Nope lets drive over them with a 60t truck. Time for some roadkill.
Super fun concept and execution. Not a lot of overexplaining of the system apocalypse, has a very good pace. Charakters are fun so far. Lots of monsters to kill.

Bertha is an amazing girl. She's strong, she's fast, she's tough, and her voice, oh sweet lordy lord.
Sure she's not the prettiest girl on the block, but she's as dependable as Lil Wayne is to rap lyrics nobody can fucking understand. In other words, extremely dependable.
When you've got a huge ass package to deliver? Bertha is who you want in your corner. When you're up shit creek without a paddle? Bertha is who you want in your corner. When the motherfrickin system apocalypse descends upon earth? Bertha is who you want in your corner.
She's the absolute best motherfucking truck on the face of the planet, and I love her to death.

A very enjoyable read with diverse characters and excellent pacing of plot without being bogged down with overly technical explanations of the system and stats.
Very much looking forward to more and eagerly awaiting further releases.
ten out of ten this book is cemented on my to reread list and will be form some time to come.

One of my favorites on here, this is a great concept executed with fun! What if the apocalyptic system met a female truck driver who has all the rough edges that concept suggests. Absolute chaos backed by a mouth that will make a sailor blush. S son as I finish a chapter, I can’t wait for the next one.

Just wanted to say this is a great ride and worth the read! I barely gave it a chance thinking it was a lame premise but I was very happy to be proved wrong! I only wish there were more chapters available to continue even if behind a Patreon pay wall.

So far it's good, better than most of the System Apocalypse's I've read, still early but this one promises to rise to the top of the rankings. I'll probably update to an advanced review once there's more to go on but so far I would definitely recommend giving it a try, read the first chapter and see if you like it.
