  I like it, it's fast paced, well thought out, and the author knows how to write fight sequences. The mc is using his for knowledge in smart and reasonably novel ways(no lottery numbers or sports betting). However There are absolutely painful negatives, primarily the mc occasionally switches into edge lord mode and seems to have something against women. It's word because most of the time the character is normal but then for a chapter he'll completely switch and start monologueing about how worthless everyone is and they don't have the power, and then be completely chill the next chapter. It's par for the course for this genera and seems to be improving. It's really bad in the chapters before the world ends but dramatically clears up. I think the author has mostly gotten it out of his system but there is some painfully cringe dialogue to get through.
  there is also some awkward phasing that also improves. I don't think English is the authors first language but none of it is unreadable and the first 10 chapters are the worst for this.
  it's clearly rough but an enjoyable read that has a lot of great potential

  So.  Many will look at the reviews and not read this novel because some people didn't like the story or how the story started.  I can't say I know what happened in the beginning but the edits and changes to the story are really good!  The grammar is great, the story is isnteresting, and the style is refreshing.  The main character isn't an idiot MC from cultivation novels.  He actually is intelligent about his actions and I really enjoy the direction the author is taking the novel in.
  Now some might point out a little lack of depth for some of the characters, however they grow in time.  Most don't have much growth needed anyway.
  All in all, I would say it's a great novel to read. It's entertaining, funny, and fills that void you need when you crave a good book. I hope everyone is able to read this book and see what I have seen now that I have read it. Keep writing author! You're doing a great job!
  Oh wait. I need more characters to publish this. I hope this is enough. It really is a good book. I'm just upset that I caught up so fast. Man is it midnight already? Oh right I left voice typing on. Oh well people usually don't read this far down in a review so I think I'm good.

  It's one of the better RE: storys. The writing style is the good and immersive, I binge read the whole chapters so that's more than I can say about most stories.
  And now to the negative sides: The MC characterization swings between experienced war veteran and impulsive teen with the story even drifting to a few high school drama chapters.
  The most anoying thing is that the MC has superhuman properties before the system becomes active, even when it is literally written in a few chapters that he has NO superhuman attributes and no feats/skills until the system start.
  This will not stop him to beat 3 stronger guys near death without a scratch to himself. Sorry dear author, you have to choose one side, you can't have both.

  The most egregious problem with this novel is the grammar.  I will say the grammar improves through the chapters I have read, but it is still off putting.  Taking off a full star for the grammar.   Although the grammar is pretty bad the plot itself is pretty cliche so far.  MC reincarnates into his pre system past.  Honestly have not gotten too far so I cannot talk too much on it, but so far not reading anything too different or unique.

  This is another one of those stories with big ideas and small delivery. MC is very inconsistent and the story seems to have the same problem. I can’t figure out if the author is self inserting or just has some odd ideas on social interactions. No offense ment some things just did not flow well.

  I love the premise, however the MC such an obvious self insert and writing is so cringe worthy that it makes it hard to read.
  The MC is supposed to be 20 years older than his peers, yet he acts like a batman wannabe.
  The side characters are bland thus far and thoroughly uninteresting.

  ★★★ 3.0

  The best way to describe the story so far is rushed. The author was to focused on getting to the action, most likely worried that if he didn't then readers would lose interest. This has caused the charecters and set up to be poorly flushed out.
  Style: Consist mainly of big walls of text, not the worse but not the best either. Could use some find tunning. In it current state it feels like I'm reading an essay, not a novel.
  Story: a fairly interesting if cliche idea. The set up for a OP MC is there, and knowing the author, it will happen so if ur into that then u might like the story.
  Grammer: it's not the worse, but definitely in need of going through a few editors. There's no major deal breakers, but there are a few times where it switches between present tense and past tense In the same sentence, the word choice being a bit off, and a few spelling errors. All things that the can be fixed by it going through a few editors. Just like the style the grammer needs some fine tunning.
  Charecter: The most disappointing part so far. The charecters are rushed, not flushed out. Despite the MC being I'm University, and thus at the bare minimum being 18, he acts like a 14 year old that just hit puberty. Further review will be included in the spoiler
  So the MC is supposed to be pretty powerful in his first life. Not the best but at least the top 100. Leading you to except him to be alot smarter then he is, unfortunately he has shallow plans. His best friend is pretty much forgotten after the first dungeon all the way until the apocalypse starts. He has a shallow understanding of society as a whole and the power that billionaires have. All side charecters introduced so far don't really have personality, there just there to fullfill the things the MC needs done.
  What really put the nail in the hammer for me are 2 scenes. The first being the sexual assault thing, litterally only a few hours into the apocalypse a whole group of males have seemingly no hope in the government or milit

  Where to start, writing is ok, phrasing is weird in many cases with a feels like badly translated from Google or non native speaker. Pacing is weird we go from end of the world big bad to time warp back into a teens body so weird adult in a teens body disconnect. Is he a veteran? Is he a love struck goofy teen? Will he pull his teenage friends along because they really know what's going on? Yes to all three and at once. Overall the story isn't for me and I wish the writer good luck 👍

  The premise of the story, although saturated on RR, is still fine. The characters in the story however, leaves a lot to be desired. They all follow the MC's lead. Everything he tells them, everything he does isn't questioned but shrugged off instead as being acceptable. The side characters are also very one dimensional so far.
  So recommendations, flush out the side characters by giving them more personality.
  Don't let everything go the MC's way, let him come across troubles, his predictions on people being just a bit off and they do things he didn't expect, etc.

  Started as a good reset story until the MC decided the best way to prepare for a system apocalypse was to tell ONE friend, clear ONE dungeon and save ONE old dude before sitting on his ass and waiting for it to start. Only to be then surprised that everything goes to hell and his people are in danger...  Let's face it this kind of no plan no prep moron wouldn't have actually survived long enough to be one of the last surviving humans so why write him this way? The author also destroys his own story consistency by claiming the zombies are non-contagious at the start only to suddenly have them go infection virus zombies the second they appear. unless it's rewritten to make the MC less of an idiot and make it consistent with its stated facts then I wouldn't recommend this story to anyone.
