Knight of the Arctic Dawn: A LitRPG end of world tale
Community Rating
Description
Gamer and elite athlete Matt Amundsen was on a fast track to leave behind Alaska and his family's past. Too bad the apocalypse had other plans.
Blue lights fell from the heavens and turned the city of Anchorage into a LitRPG armageddon. Armed only with his trusty hockey stick, his best mate and the smartest girl in their school (who he definitely does not have a crush on), can Matt rebuild the city into a safe haven?
Invading cultivators, tyrannical empires and scions of clans from beyond the stars all stand in his way.
Matt was trained by his parents to do one thing. Survive.To do that he'll need to rise to accept his destiny as the Knight of the Arctic Dawn.
You'll love this LitRPG apocalypse story with gamelit elements set initially in the arctic but progressing to involve the rest of the world.

- Lightwing DuckRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Overall: This is an entertaining read. The setting (around Anchorage, Alaska) and the attitude of the main character are distinct enough from similar System-comes-to-modern-Earth works (that I've read) to act as a main draw, while there are a few other minor hints to other aspects of the story to pique the reader's curiosity. Frontier Leveller writes clearly and well, and this is one of those works for which I eagerly await every chapter.
Re-reading Knight of the Arctic Dawn for this review has not been a chore in the slightest!
Style: I would say the setting and atmosphere of Knight are the main draw for me. I've never been anywhere near Anchorage, but can picture the frozen atmosphere vividly. It is unique amongst fictions I've read on this site. World-building and future plot-points are dropped into the story without feeling forced or an obvious insertion.
Story: The story moves well. As I write this review (just over 20 chapters have been published), there have been a few strong set pieces, each feeling different from the last. A few times the story slows in pace as the characters attempt to get a grasp on what's going on, but only to the extent that it feels natural. I would argue that the variation in pace is a plus.
Grammar: There is the occasional error, but more in the sense of an oversight which the author later corrects. Most importantly, I haven't come across anything so noticeable as to pull me out of the story.
Characters: Matt, the protaganist, is an interesting enough character. The broad strokes of his past are apparent from the beginning and have an impact his skills, decision-making and how he is perceived by others. If there was one thing which I would single out for improvement, however, it would be the fleshing out of other characters. I believe the author agrees with this, particularly regarding Jason (the best friend), so it may no longer be a valid criticism another twenty chapters in from when I write this! - NeslonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a fairly well written story that follows a very similar pattern we see with lots of system apocalypses. It doesn't feel copied but also not terribly unique BUT where the story shines is the authors use of Alaska, one of the worlds last great wildernesses, as a backdrop that allows a fun and unique story to build. With hints of more pacific exploration as well as insight into the land and culture of the arctic, this story has a lot of potential and I am looking forward to seeing more.
