  Must Read! Must Read! Must Read!
  I shall say this as many times as there is need,
  For the this be one of the books that deserve it,
  For its content be super lit!
  For an action fantasy,
  It sure as hell makes a good comedic fantasy,
  Not that it doesn’t have action galore,
  Where you can just hear liches roar!
  The Style be furious and fast,
  The plot seems built to last,
  The Story is still hidden in fog,
  Though the mist be clearing like a smog,
  And as mystery builds,
  And I see the the Mc stack her skills,
  I anticipate a great Story in the frills,
  Grammar is fine,
  As long as its not Grammar Nazi time,
  And the Character be real as can be,
  In just chapters 16 and free,
  So I suggest that you,
  STOP READING THIS REVIEW AND READ THE BOOK.
  And since you have not listened to my advice,
  Hear me rant till I finish 200 words that shall hopefully be nice,
  The story is slow as some snails,
  Perhaps it meant to be as big as whales?
  But either way this is one to binge,
  And likely won’t make you cringe,
  On the road or perhaps sailing on yacht,
  Like our MC most badass.
  So for the last time READ!!!!!!!!!

  Definitely worth reading! It's a cut above the rest, and each chapter packs a punch.
  The character development is top notch, and the glimpses of the wider world we've seen is great. Can't wait for more to be revealed!
  The system is not over the top, and the skills aren't too crazy! Can't wait to see what higher levels will bring.

  Or at least that's what Elysia's got to be wondering.
  Unfortunately for her, this is a system apocalypse story not an isekai.
  Overall, this is a fun and exciting survival story of a loner 18-year old track athlete turned lightning thrower carving out a place for herself in a world changed by system apocalypse where the fast pace of events and action keeps Elysia bouncing from one crisis to the next.
  The interesting (and snarky) System and the changes to the world make a great backdrop that is presented as a mystery that the main character unravels as events in the story play out.
  The story's fast pacing is not overly exhausting and time is given betwen bouts of action and survival for the reader and MC to decompress.
  Though some of this down time leads me to the main negative of the story's early chapters which is amount of time Elysia spends alone and the focus on cleaning up her claimed boat. The effort spent on the boat suggests that the boat will be an important character for the story going forward.
  Speaking of characters, Draecath is doing a great job with the characters. The glimpses we've seen of characters other than Elysia suggest thought has been put into their backstories.
  Elysia has personality and her own quirks. Her inefficienty in early chapters when it comes to the changed world's game mechanics might be frustrating to many readers' gamer sensibilities, but it's a good sign that Draecath is making an effort to not apply author foreknowledge to the character's choices.
  Style and grammar are good with the text not overly dense, allowing for a quick read.
  On the style side, I've deducted half a star due to places where the naration focuses a bit too much on being accurate and step-by-step over a more dramatic telling. This leads to small issues with telling not showing, but the story makes up for it.
  On the grammar side I've deducted half a star here for the occasional missing word, misplaced comma, and accidental present tense verb. The grammar issues

  I really like the progression and how clueless the main character is. She was never one to play games so has very little idea how to proceed.  The story seems well written, and I personally like the pacing. This story fits well the type I like to read. Main character will be tough but is having growing pains to make certain that she pushes harder.

  - Caution could contain spoilers -
  I have already read the author's first story and know his penchant for stories with a psychological factor, which she takes up again in a wonderful way with this litrpg.
  Our main character Elysia takes her first steps in a System Apocalypse alone, first trying to overcome the shock and trauma that comes with it.
  Many may think they know what they would do if all the people they know suddenly disappear and they wake up alone with a status window. I believe for the majority of humanity it would be a trauma, shock, or reason enough to throw off the nearest rock. As a species, we are not as adaptable as we like to think. Rather, it is the younger generation who are still adaptable.
  The main character does not always make the smartest decisions or decisions that we would make from a "reader's perspective" that goes beyond the limited space of the fictional main character based on the available information, her limited prior knowledge about video games, as well as role-playing games.
  First, our main character tries to orient herself, to place herself in the hierarchy of this new world and to gain strength. In doing so, she meets other survivors and remnants of institutions who behave completely logically in the context of the events. Even the bad decisions are easy to understand with a little common sense.
  People who have never done anything stupid now throw the first stone, but that can't be very many, considering that teenagers kill themselves while watching movies swallowing detergent drops or washing machine drops. Humanity has proven often enough that its individuals are capable of killing themselves through sheer stupidity.
  Above all, there is a certain love of detail on the part of the author for the inner soul quality of the character on which the actions are very clearly defined. The personality of the character looks very well thought out.
  The start of the apocalypse is also chosen very interesting, as well as the implementatio

  I mean the themes are serious enough. Death's something everybody should take seriously. But the things around that seem a bit more... unpalatable to real-world standards. Like, I get stories are stories and expecting PostApoc to actually make sense is kinda stupid but this one takes it a step above the other ones.
  And I think that's perfectly fine. Nothing too wrong with it. A slight chance from the standard but nothing that readers needs to be angry about. Besides that, I would say the editing is good enough. So... I think that would explain the Style and Story of this fiction pretty decently, leading me to give it 5/5 in both aspects.
  Grammar has no real flaws that I could find in the brief moments spent putting it into Grammarly and ProWritingAid(at least nothing worth mentioning since the app is being stupid) and I would think that the sentence-structure present in the story improves flow to an extreme degree. Many authors put way too little attention on actually making the tongue flow along the text and I am delighted to see the author paying attention to it with this one. 5/5 for that.
  Last is Characther. What to say... since I am stressed on time, I will simply call it a pretty average introductory to the personalities present in the story. The author is taking their time making sure we understand the reasoning behind actions. While I get to predict some of the stuff before its decided on, there is still a very tight hand around the personality that is only slowly unravelling. More can be seen later into the story btu I havent read that far. For now, I will call it 5/5.
  That was everything. Round up the numbers and you have the score for the overall one. Hint: It's 5/5

  Characters are well fleshed out, engaging and each with defined traits that don't overlap or get easily confused.
  Style and grammar are nice and the flow is smooth, facilitating a polished reader experience.
  Female lead is a new experience for me, but I am enjoying it greatly. Story is intriguing, and I look forward to seeing more from this author.
  DETAILED REVIEW (for those that want it)
  Style: So, I've read ahead and I can tell that this is not the authors first rodeo. They say the more words you write the better you get at it, and I'm inclined to agree.
  It is not stylistically stunning or over the top but gets the point across and the structuring is good. Above RR standards on most days and at par even on the worst.
  Story: This is my introduction to female leads, so far I've been biased to male lead stories. And what can I say? I like it. Apocalypse litrpg is the shit, and a female perspective that is more nuanced and adds depth to the genre adds to my enjoyment.
  Characters: The MC doesn't automatically have epiphanies aboht the tutorial because she's a gamer, and I can't tell you how refreshing that is. Otherwise she's a likable character, and I can't like a story if I hate the mc.
  Grammar: No problem.

  i must say this novel has one of the best starts I've seen in a good while. I'm loving her unique class and race. So far it is extremely good and I'm looking forward to more! The world building has just started at this point but we've already seen hints of trials and joys to come from it. This is most definitely worth a read!

  Reviewed at chapter 16 / 137 pages.
  Elysia is an outsider. Reborn through what might be unique circumstances into a world that is very much not the one she remembered she must find a way to survive.
  This story is written in a way that makes it intensely action packed and easy to read.  It's also really fun.
  Style Score: Except for the first chapter, Electrified is written in 3rd person limited. Stylistically, the author has chosen to write in a style that makes for an intense, action-packed edge of your seats read.
  While this does very well for most of the chapters,  there are times when it doesn't let up. So much fast pacing tends to dilute the narrative a bit in my mind, not enough to put it down, but enough to notice -- my opinion. And it's the only reason I didn't give it five stars in this field.
  Story Score: The story so far is great. No large plot holes, nothing that deterred me as a reader.  I'm thoroughly enjoying it. World-building seems great. Character design is awesome.
  Grammar Score: I only saw a few typos in the 137 pages I read, much less than my own. Author also seems to be very quick to fix when typos are pointed out and has suggested edits turn on.
  Character Score: Elysia is the main character so far, and characterization seems pretty decent. There are no real dialogue scenes yet to determine if there is any voice issues.  Good stuff!
  The question I ask myself when I read stories and write a review is 'would I recommend this story to others?'
  Yes. Yes I would.  It's worth checking out.

  We follow the story of Elysia who died and revived as a changed touch by lightning.
  She is a free-spirit who easily adjust as her hometown and world had turn into a post-apocalyptic lost world of wonder and danger. Drive by her strong tie to her family, her main goal is to reunite with her twin sister, who she could feel from thousands miles away.
  The pitch of this novel is simple and effective making it easy to engage in the story and root for the main character as she is slowly making her way toward her twin sister. The obstacle in her way are numerous and it is extremely enjoyable to see her overcome them.
  Though, her initial urgency and the strong survival vibes of the first chapter feel long gone after +30 chapters. Like a flash of lightning, the story as a really strong start but is losing power the farther it goes.
  So the story score is losing some point from the simple fact this story is pivoting midway in a direction that I think might hurt its audience in the long term.
  Yet, I would strongly recommend reading this novel. Because, while the story is somewhat losing its initial momentum, the characters are shining brightly and bringing something more to the table.
  Style and Grammar are beyond criticism from me as I'm not a native english speaker. The style is clear, easy to read and enjoyable, which is all I could ask for.
  All in all, one of my gem for 2021. Enjoy.
