    Long time since I have been this hyped about a Story. I have red a lot of tower apocalypse stories and they usually disapoint me quite a lot. I am optimistic about this one though. I realy enjoy it and it feely pretty high quality. Also the mc is not a reincarnator this time

    Honestly, you could probably feel the potential of the story at the start, so just keep going with it. There is one part that is honestly just annoying and the way the author sets it up isn't the best, but i can defintely forgive it becuase everything else is really well done. The MC is a thinker thank god and a reallly good one. This is the only story i've found with such a good likeness to the dark souls series, so the style is very similar! So if you're on the fence with this then I highly recommend you start reading this NOW!

    A tutorial with difficulties (easy or hard), a polyvalent but not op mc, who has both strengths and weaknesses, who's going for an obvious Frontline build while keeping range damage, and with an innate ability that gives him a natural boost typical progression fantasy in litrpg apocalypse but that's what I'm here to read

    Some events and the fights are little rough around the edges. But I have enjoyed the overall story immensely. Characters in these types of stories often go for magic heavy builds and its nice to see a more physical combat style every once in a while. Also, none of the main character's choices have made me want to bang my head agains the wall yet. So good going.

    It's really good so far! I'll probably edit this to give more detail at a later point, but the mc seems refreshingly intelligent and selfish instead of blindingly selfless and heroic. I like his abilities as well as the setting so far. I'm exited to find out where the story leads!
    The writing is very solidly good and free of spelling mistakes. The author gives a lot of insight into the characters thoughts, which I appreciate, and sometimes gives additional ooc reasoning under spoiler tags; sounds odd, but actually works well. There's a scene where they refer to the psychological effects called bystander syndrome unser spoiler tags, since apparently people kept claiming that
    if someone was getting beaten up in front of a large group of strangers, someone would definitely step in to save them.
    The side characters haven't been very fleshed out yet, but that's because I haven't read very far ahead at this point. What I've seen has been a promisingly diverse set of personalities with a lot of potential. The author does lean on stereotypes sometimes, but the characters aren't reduced to just embodying those.
    I'd recommend giving this a try if you like clever, selfish MCs trying to survive the odds against them through whatever means possible.

    Sensible progression with the way the story is set up. The intuition sense is a good one, I remember reading about this from some other thief stories and the sixth sense is a good skill to have. Some fun fights with actual consequences for not having the team in a proper formation with certain things thought out prior. Looking forward to more.

    Starts pretty quickly and without too much fanfare in the establishment of a new system. Thankfully the Author doesn't get carried away describing all the super cool new system functions and going into boring detail about any UI bullshit.
    The MC takes risks and is rewarded for it but has not become a one man army off the bat yet. Heavy inspiration from another story featuring an MC with a "Talent" but our Author is doing more than just a copy paste of these inspirations.
    Character development is fine as far as I am concerned, not over done but giving the party members personality and their own goals instead of worship of the MC like you will see frequently on RR.
    All in all this is a very solid offering from HBT.
    Worth a follow for sure.

    I really like it, except that the characters relationship is garbage and the system's stat points seems very very busted.
    an example quite early in one very imposing individual throws someone else into unknown danger and therefore everyone watches, horrified. this is good, this sets up a "Bad Guy" and allows for the creation of factions and the like early, BUT the issue is when he keeps picking on the weak, and no, like four or five ranged classed people decide to take him down, IF he had a gang of say 10-20 peopke with him than this would make some sense as, if your not weaker, than it's less likely you'll be attacked but seeing as how teams only consist of 10 people at most, and you dont want to backstabbed by some unknown team who thinks they won't be picked on by the big guy, and atleast 1 of your teamates almost certainly doesn't want to fight them, meaning were really looking at 3-4 teams of atleast at people all trusting each other, OR some people finishing the jerk off after a smaller fight. even a small-ish gang like that would make the story far more belivable.
    next the main characters party, I have no problems with a ton of crazies agreeing to work together because they're A crazy and B pretty strong, BUT entering minor spoiler territory, one of the Micheal is upfront that he doesn't mind harming other party member's for the sake of speeding up the fight, a situation that ONLY helps him and he should have been booted form the party asap as even if he's one of the few guys with a level five skill... bonus (which is seemingly the most important part of leveling) he's to dangerous but they kept him around, and Marcello didn't even say something, which ist the least he should do, say something see reactions and decide if he can push him out or not.
    now the ones who I (kinda) like are Troy, Jason, and Sarah, Troy while seemingly unfazed by seath gore and murder, still has principles, and spoiler increasing Jason has an obvious goal, although Sarah.... Is just

    For me, I don't have a lot of complaints. I can complain about minor stuff and things based on my own opinion but you shouldn't write a review based on opinions. I'm not good at reviewing but this novel can be really good especially for the Apocalyptic setting, Antihero who isn't edgy with (so far at least) a decent LitRPG field. Do find it weird though that the novel is named after a title he has that isn't mentioned much. May play a bigger part later on.
    Also, the fact that his armor changes(a little bit at least) the way he thinks is a good concept. It can explain a lot of things that he does that are questionable in the future. however, I don't expect this to completely change the MC obviously but enough that it's noticeable if we look back but don't notice it if we read normally unless he mentions it.

    This is pretty good. The amount of content is low for now, but the quality is great. Marcello is a well written character who can recognize his own flaws, and the interactions he has are great too. Honestly, I'm having a good time with it. Well done, keep it up.
