Description
STOLEN AND ON AMAZON UNDER THE NAME THOMPSON ROSS. BE WARNED. THAT ENTRY IS NOT A LEGITIMATE SOURCE OF MY WORK.
It's already been reported, so hopefully, it'll be removed fairly quickly. I have plans to do proper edits and publication to Amazon at some point. Please do not purchase from copyright thieves like the one above.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Ricardo 'Rick' Reyes, an ageing, unhealthy 3rd generation English-Spaniard estranged from family, and alone for a long time, one day comes across news of a new startup developing nanotechnology for medicine. He contacts them om a whim, invests in their company, and puts his name forward. He eventually hears back and is invited to trials. As part of the process, he was subjected to physical and mental tests, including cryosleep to test nanite effectiveness in near-absolute-zero temperatures.
He wakes up an untold amount of time later, to find everything had changed. The world around him had become something else. Society had collapsed, the world was rebuilding, and a number of nanite-induced changes have taken place among all life on the planet.
Now, Rick must rediscover himself in this new world, find his purpose, and hopefully find and meet with others like him from the old world.

- KaydjinRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Good: Interesting ideas and good syntax.
Bad : The story make absolutely no sense. No clear goal for the protagonist who found himself in a post apocalyptique world. The author must have been inspired by fallout but it's not a good point. Fallout is a game where all actions start from the protagonist. So we have a story where the motor of the action is the MC, but he has no objectives and no personnality. See the problem...
Ideas :
1-Add a family member to the MC (or an attachement to twinkies 😅). A personnality is based around love, habits or needs.
2-Add a goal from the pre-apocalypse for the MC to achieve.
3-A world with people is a world with conflicts. 'Strong' people want power, love, glory. 'Weak' people want security and stability. Do not simplify humanity to people killing each other for powers !
