- ResunaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Errod is like a somewhat goofy but ernest yellow lab who wants to be the best dog ever but keeps tripping over his feet and smashing a vase. But it turns out the vase is that one you got from your horrible aunt that everyone else seems to like so you couldn't get rid of it so you scold him but slip him a treat and he learns exactly the wrong lesson from the experience.
- VictoriaRoughton72Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Interesting premise. Flow is a little chopie but overall really good read. Relatable character. Original plot. I love this guy! Good story. Worth the read!
50 word salad.
The purpose was the constitution was not an official term that would make sense of interest rates and more money for it if we.
😀 - sheltron5000Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's a well written story that feels like it's going somewhere, even though I seem to think the apocalypse has been resolved. There are a few plot points that I think I know how they'll resolve, but I'm not totally sure and I completely trust the writer to come up with something satisfying. I trust them because they've already done it a couple of times.
The reviewers who complain about chapter 14 just don't get it. There's a reason for everything going off track, and it all makes sense for the narrative.
There's a degree of realism that I associate with a writer like Seanan McGuire, but it's an isekai/RPGlit-style story. Just, really well done and interesting. - JetFishRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0... as the story only gets better and better!
It's a little sad to get multiple bad reviews for just one controversial chapter. But I respect the author for not changing it and sticking to their believes.
I also feel that this story is very underrated as the writing quality can be compared to the top horses in royal road.
Now the advanced review stuff...
We have an very interesting protagonist. She doesn't feel like the mary sue center of the universe with only NPC around her, no she is a traumatized mess of a person, but that is what makes her so excellent. Similary the side characters also have their interesting twists in traits, with relatively deep background.
The author won't spare your feelings in this journey as it is by no means light hearted. People might die and the author succeeds in making you care about them.
World building stuff with twisted numbers is really confusing sometimes and I don't know if the change from decimal into hexal system is really doing anything for the plot. However, I can see that a huge amount of thought went into the mathematical predictions of plain alightments and the corresponding dates. I didn't check if they were correct though.
Magic system is deep and interesting. No litRPG elements but somewhat believable powerlevels. Protagonist is not a power creep yet and does not appear to become one in the near future.
For the plot. It very interesting and captivating so I just want to keep reading, as I luckily still can since I haven't reached live releases yet. It also seems to be planned out already with a clear goal in mind.
The goal is set but the author seems to be really interractive with readers about the journey. There were some votes with skills and stuff.
Writing style can sometimes be a little confusing BUT it's totally fitting for our little crazy protagonist.
Grammar is very good. Only some minor typos which soon get corrected if someone points it out.
Keep up the good work. Here with an honest review that rises from 4 - Random SanityRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really enjoying this story and can't wait to see where it goes.
Good characters, fun concept, exactly my kind of humor.
The magic system is well structured and the necessary explanations for readers are worked in well by following the main character's learning. The world is interesting and the world building robust. Characters are distinct and developed, but with room to grow over the story. I found myself invested in the main character quickly and easily, and as the story progresses am increasingly interested in figuring out the whys of what she's going through/been through. - EmpireofTrustRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5The story is a little unbalanced but that is just a reflection of the Main Characters state of mind.
Being brought into a different dimension is probably hard enough if you are adaptable but this story is happening to someone that has not had a choice in life ever.
The MC's mood swings daily but life continues without any regard.
Fun story in an interesting world with just a little more twist than normal. - JSBAssocRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Really excellent. I love the problems faced by the mc when first arriving. This is probably the best version of that scenario in any of the hundred or so portal/isekai stories I've read. Both of the mc's capabilities as well as the differences of a new world. So thoughtful. Well done.
- luda305Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5I have very mixed opinions about this.
For most of the first several chapters, the protagonist seems decidedly not sympathetic. Rather, they seem rather pathetic. And it very much strikes me that they are not a hero and this is not a story of heroic adventure.
To be clear, the synopsis says there is "some mental health adjacent stuff." I'd actually say that the story is heavy into the mental health issues. A very large portion of the chapters so far are dedicated to the protagonist's introspection, especially regarding her unstable mental states.
And yet I'm not sure I can fault the story for doing that. Part of it is that I can't decide whether the mental health issues cause her to be unheroic, or whether she's simply unheroic and incidentally happens to have mental health issues. Causation vs. correlation.
By chapter 9 or so, there's a shift where the protagonist accepts the mantle of hero. This seems like it comes out of the blue. Not sure what to make of it and hopefully the context will clear up in a few chapters. Potentially though, there is character growth associated with the fights/conflicts in the preceding chapters and this is the extension of that. Though if so, it's either too subtle or I missed it.
On a related note, the synopsis describes this as a "standard portal fantasy / Isekai thing." I have to agree with the other reviewers that this is hardly standard. If anything, there's a realism that shows just how problematic actually getting transported to another world would be.
The grammar is well done. The style is also very good, especially on a micro scale, subject to one caveat. The story is first person POV, but there's a little bit of a self-awareness that they are telling a story, which is weird. This seems limited to the first few chapters though and seems to go away.
All in all, I'm giving it 4.5/5 because I think it'll all tie together in some way that works, though it could easily be a half-star lower. - sunandshadowRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Unpredictable! If you are looking for a story that surprises you at every turn, try this one. As of chapter 8 I have no idea how the title applies to anything, lol, though the isekai and magic tags at least have shown up. This story should probably be tagged psychology and PTSD if those are tags on RR. I like the writing style, and find the grammar quality to be good.
- GeurjakhaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0How do I know this isekai is not a complete waste of time? Well, it's not a shallow power-trip. It's not a cringy revenge fantasy. And it's not a disgusting harem-builder.
Wow, am I sure it's actually an isekai? Haha, well
Leftover Apocalypse is a well-paced journey through a magical, pre-industrial world. The locations are varied and lively, but take a backseat to the main strength of the story, the character interactions.
The story is told from the perspective of the MC, Calliope Smith, and her interactions and observations really let the reader become attached to her and her friends. Many of the people in the story have excellent characterization and their unique voices almost always shine.
The current driving force of the plot is realistic and understandable, though there are hints of a larger McGuffin that may or may not hold the same standard. The foreshadowing in general is actually pretty enjoyable, but this being an unfinished work means there's no guarantees of a satisfying conclusion.
As the fiction's description states, there are depictions of mental illness and child abandonment in the work. I have not found anything I have read as disrespectful, but these are not things I have experience with, and so cannot give a useful opinion either way.
