Description
A discussion of people, monsters, and the nature of reality, all with the scenic backdrop of a litRPG and violent death.
Anthony is your average, unassuming programmer that wakes up from a dream only to find the world he knew is gone, along with much of his memory of it. He is forced to fight for his life (badly) and try to help others (unwillingly) in a desperate bid for not only his own survival, but that of humanity as a whole.
Join me on my first expedition into writing anything longer than a book report as I ramble endlessly and attempt to cushion the whole thing with exotic adventures in a game world.

- TigerCannonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Great story, worth a read, I look forward to seeing where it goes next.
Style: Enjoyable style, with good metaphors, flow, and descriptive language. Only place the author loses points is occasionally having a whole chapter of just the MC thinking, as often happens in first person stories. That's improved as well in more recent chapters.
Story: The story definitely seems to borrow from Randidly Ghosthound, especially the system/world, but it has enough individuality and twists in it to be its own thing, and everything is executed quite well so far.
Grammar: Not perfect, but among the best you see on the site, with a noticeable error maybe once every other chapter.
Characters: The characters are great. Everyone who's focused on has a good bit of depth, and the story doesn't spread itself too thin or rush their development. Also, the main character actually has motivations and personality traits, rather than zen power creep, so that's a plus. - BalanceRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Excuse my grammer. I think this novel is amazing there are some errors but the author usually fixes them the author also does something I was looking for which is deep introspection although I don't agree with the auhor on the human of humanity it's very deep and the story deeply describes what kind of author this is it's a author with great imagination who takes other stories and weaves them together into his own imagination to make a complete story which is very hard to find due to people not having enough imagination. I also love the character anthony because he almost is like me the only difference is that the author I think give the humans a lot for humanity then I would after all he thinks differently from me while I think humanity is a facade that us humans make to seem important and is arrogance after all we may be more intelligent but for that intelligence we humanity seem to lack the forsight for our survival as a species as we all can easily see by not already being prepared for our sun to die or eatth to become so hot it kills us due to global warming I think it is the label we gave ourselves and the belief that we will always find a way that makes humanity weak as a species that might survive we have become our own enemy with our arrogance as the most intelligent creature that we know in the entire universe and that made us foolish. Oh and back to the character anthony I love his two sidedness intospection calling him coward and murderer but him putting it off is bad as a author because if you ingore it it eventually comes to cloud your mind due to thinking more and more about the cynical side you have and it distracts you more and more so if I was the author I would have anthony deal with the cynical side yes it requires will to beliee you're right when talking within yourself but if you don't he may just lose himself to the cynical side I should know after all I did say the character Is very like me just a little different and when i mean little I onl
- BinLoxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Please release like 300 chapters. I'm hooked. I need my fix.
- Winged ThingRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Overall: The novel is in its early stages but it already has character and a more interesting plot progression than half of the stories I read. Its new and its raw but like a fine wine, this one is going to get better with time, edits and more chapters.
Style: Its written from a 1st person perspective and the writing reflects it. Some will love it since the whole shtick of writing in the perspective puts you as a reader in the shoes of the protag. Some won't like it but thats life.
Story: The plot is interesting so far and follows somewhat similarly to the plot of another novel I've read (The Mad One? i think it was called) but has its own take on it and in my opinion does it a fair bit better.
Grammar: Not much to say here, I didn't notice any errors.
Character: So far as of (ch19) there aren't many characters that we know are going to be regular fixtures so I'll focus on the MC. He's a bit confused but he's doing his best all things considered and seems like he's going to grow with challenges and struggles rather than be broken by them.
I enjoyed my time reading and if you give this novel a chance then it's likely you will too : ) - FroginapondRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0this book is very well written, the storyline is easily followed. I couldn't 'put it down' (figuratively ;) )
- ArkkRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The start was weak and GOD it was tediou. But getting past that was really worth it, it has been long since I find a story so likeable. Everything, the pace, the change of characters, how much information is given and how it's given. I like this very much.
- RhapsodyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Fantastic so far! ( chapter 34 )
I saw that it was only rated 4 and a bit stars, so naturally I had to rectify this issue by giving 5 stars! - HumanprototypeRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5Interesting and entertaining but far too much of the story is told through wandering, long-winded inner monologues and exposition.
Show don't tell. - CelinorRoyal Road★★★ 3.0It feels like there is too much introspection in this story. I get that you think it necessary to understand the MC, his struggles and his progress, but like it is it really drags the story down - and that's something for me to say, as I usually prefer long-winded styles.
Either it's nesssary to find something to make this introspection more interesting, or to cut some parts of it. You can nearly always be more concise, and in this work even a little bit here and there could help, adding up to alter the general feeling.
That's a shame because you have something good going here, and solid fundations for a nice lit-rpg.
I hope you keep getting better! - azarthRoyal Road★★★ 3.0So far I'm loving this story. This review is made after reading up to chapter 57 in one day. I thought that the flow is great the concept was interesting, I think that the progression could be a bit faster, but overall extremely happy to have spent time reading this.
