  This is a pretty good read.  It fits with the modern world pay to play disparity, and adds in some pretty funny eat your friends face mechanics.
  Grammar is good, longer paragraphs though they could still be combined in places.
  The story plot is simple "don't get killed", easy enough, but works really well.
  The MC is a point of view of your average guy a few years out of school, and kinda vague like real life doesn't matter, because He Is his Character.  Goes with the storey, i expect more depth introduced as we go.
  There are a few zombie pov's on royal road, most of them get op pretty fast.  By chapter 20 the mc is not op, and not lucky, relying on planning and paranoia instead.  This makes me rate the story higher because there is no golden boy factor.

  This story begs to be binge read. The grammar is almost immaculate and there are very few typos. The events and scenarios in this story are gripping. The main character lacks a bit of development, but I feel that it helps me empathize with him. Thank you so much for the story, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it!

  Your story is great so far. I started reading it basically when the first chapter came out 2 hours ago and havent stopped, except to take a test in class, until i got to the end of chapter 14. Keep up the great work. I dont know if you had all of this prewriten or not but i would definitely like a steady stream of updates for this story.

  Fantastic LitRPG story so far! I am at the part where the system is shutting down for maintenance. What a cliff!
  I don´t understand the bad reviews. Have they even read the story?!

  Firstly,  the story itself is interesting.  A zombie game where 99% of the players are zombies. Isn't it interesting? Who never wanted a zombie apocalypse to start on a boring day of there life?
  While the information given in the beginning may have confused some, as you read on , the author gives you pieces of information that overides whatever you have thought in the beginning
  So far, there are 2 characters introduced. The Main character and his ex-gf.
  What we know of the MC is but a faction of his physic as it is not important in this story.
  The story is centered around the game and as all zombies start looking the same(just imagine a zombie) what the MC looks like is just a small detail that we can overlook.
  Grammar, I have no complains.
  Style, is smooth
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  The worldbuilding is believable if people actually give some mind to it. The dying penalty is actually like the carrot and the stick. Zombie players will try to be careful with there lives as they won't be able to play the rest of the week if they die. And at the beginning of the week. They will then cherish there play time and try to hide better when they go offline.
  Ever had something where you lose but you just keep trying?
  Well this is exactly the same.
  Oh, and for those who think that there's some problem with the fact that the game restart every week. Then let me say that it was in beta.  The game has changed from the time it was in beta. The evolution tree of the zombies has been added, which didn't exist in the beta. The fact  that zombies aren't immune when they go offline has been added as well.
  That will be all i have to say.
  If you really want to read why i have a positif review of this story, look into the spoilers. At your risks.

  I love it! ...
  but most of the time I feel frustrated by the way it's screwing with his brain...
  it also feels like you are dragging some things on longer than you should...
  plz fix the way it's screwing around with his brain... by maybe giving him a purpose with it like joining the eternals on an adventure far more mystical than he ever thought it would be....
  I feel awful after that cliff hanger...
  im at chapter 31.... I think
  edit: I'm at chapter 37 and I think whoever is reading this should read this story! ...it's worth reading!

  Shitty gameplay. Crapton of plot holes. Weak mc. And a lot of nerdy gushing about a shitty game. No progression. Unrealistic mentality(and they call it absolute reality lol).
  The HORROR!

  Ahhhh, reminds of when this novel WAS somehow put on the top 15 best rated.  That was when i found out how low a vast majority of this site's readers' standard is like seriously this got on the top 15 best rated a year or so back though then again by this point the author deleted all chapters of this awful garbage so i'm just going on by memory from when i read 10 chapters.

  This story had a good concept that writen write could of been really good. Sadly tho, it was not. Right from the start there are problems. Like how did this game ever get this big? Why do we know nothing about the mc. Infact we learn just about nothing. Other than the devs hate there player base and just about no one would ever playthis game for more than a month. There are no human elements in the story. I can't relate to anything be it the mc or even liking this game. Everything is so far beyond suspension of disbelief that i can't put it into words. But i don't care if  a fantasy story is reslistic or deep in anyway. To me the most important thing in a story is if it is enjoyable to read. But when i read this story the only thing i can think of is, why does anyone play this game?

  It's a No Man Sky and Evolve level failure in game design and mechanic.
  The MC is a zomzom aka zombie because he is using a free account. The premium accounts gets to be the survivor. Not much right?
  Game Mechanic:
  1. If you die then you have to wait for the weekly reset. Yep, you need to wait for an entire week before you can play again.
  2. Zomzoms can't talk with each other so there goes team work. Maybe in the later levels they can through hive mind or something so good luck surviving.
  3. Zomzoms get hungry and they die from it. Good luck finding food because they are hard as fk to find.
  4. People can still kill you if you log-off so good luck finding a good place to hide.
  5. Slow type zomzoms, maybe the faster ones will come but again good luck surviving from hunger.
  6. Zomzoms get passive xp gain but it's slow as fk. It gets faster if a survivor gets closer to where you are hiding.
  I didn't bother reading the other chapter since those listed above turned me off.
