Description
A cynical youth struggling to find meaning in his life dies horribly in a car accident, only for his soul to transmigrate into the body of a dead scavenger in a futuristic, apocalyptic world.
"And here I was thinking hell would be a little less boring," were some of the first words to leave his mouth as he opened his eyes, finding himself in a foreign world waiting for him to explore!

- alphaReviewsRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0The story, dialog and world building are significantly better than most murder hobo fantasies.
However, the story is still in its early stages, and unfortunately psychotic MC stories always falter once the MC attains real power. I expect it will continue to be engaging while the MC is weak and in survival mode (ie: it is generally OK to murder and deceive for desperate survival), but I am sure it will lose its appeal past that.
Beyond that, I think it is always a fail when the world has lame abusive (ie: retarded) 'gods' that get actively involved in the reincarnation and talk to the MC between lives. IMO it is better to let that remain unknown, but it is easy to ignore.
Anyhow, I enjoyed reading it up to here, even though I generally don't care at all for murder hobo psychotic MCs (unless they are treated seriously - as in what was the trauma that caused the MC to become psychotic, and how can he free himself from it to live a more enriching life).
With all that being said, I think this will soon be getting tons of 5/5 reviews since lots of people love psycho MCs, and this does that better than most of the highest rated stuff on this site.
