Description

Lucky Lachlan is just your average mutt. He's been living with his Girl for as long as he can remember and he'd do anything for her. He might have to do more than he bargained for.

One day when he awakened from his mid-day nap, he saw a box. It had no scent and floated calmly in the air.

Greetings Lucky Lachlan!

You have been chosen.

The End is coming in three days.  Prepare yourself!

Thanks toKieran Piercefor the lovely cover!

The Dog at the End of the World is now available as an ebook or in paperback from Amazon. I'm currently working on the second volume of Dog at the End of the World and will keep you posted.

    Still a bit earlydays, but I have been hooked from chapter one.
    -Grammar is great and what few mistakes have made it through look like they are being quickly fixed once pointed out.
    - Characters are full of life and only seem shallow in that we haven't had the time to see a whole lot of it yet. The hints are there just waiting to be told.
    - The plot uses alot of tropes to set up its world, but from such a new perspective that it feels fresh and new.
    Personally there were few chapters that didn't have at least one scene that made me feel warm and fuzzy.
    Only thing that has me worried is that so far there has been quite a bit of follow the leader type behavior from the secondary characters. I get the feeling this might be more setup, but am not entirely sure at the current point in the story.
    TLDR - Go read the fluffy litrpg for warm and fuzzy feels!

    So, basically wanted to leave a quick review behind (and continue reading!).
    The story is written REALLY well so far and I had many laughs :D Keep going and I am really interested how the "end" will go!
    For everyone who isn't sure about reading the story: just give it a go! I normally only read the classical litRPG and fantasy novels, but this one here is pretty good! Trust me :)

    Just discovered a hidden jewel, thought I'd share.   Come take a peek.    So far, the mc is critter has a girl and is buddies other critters.
    I really don't want to spoil this tale, with a poor review.    So come take look, as a semi obsessed reader of litrpgs,  I'll almost guarantee you'll enjoy the experience.

    yep, this is it, this is the story I’m willing to sell my soul for. I love every single thing about this story and aside from the occasional spelling error it’s really well written.

    filler for the fifty word minimum. beep boop, potato scoop, nothing like a sneep snoop in the reboop with a basket troop to throw you for a loop and ah... soup

    Thanks for the great read! You've nailed dog behaviore, and I can't wait to see more of the dogs and their people!
    The different dog perspectives just make this story feel a bit more... rounded? More realistic, since dogs do act that way in real life and it's great to see on paper. Keep up the amazing work!

    One of the best reads I've read so far, captivating me til the last moment. I caught up too fast now I have to wait😭, but hopefully not for long😁.
    The use of a dog as a MC leads to a new and interesting perspective on the world with a system genre. Love his interaction with his owner and squirrel friend, can't wait to see how everything will happen.
    The perspective of some of the other dogs are awesome, I wonder what Lobo knows, what has his sponsor told him? We need this revealed, until then I'll be reading every new chapter that comes up....and most like long after it's revealed as well😁.
    Best of luck to the author can't wait to keep on reading.

    Take the standard LitRPG, someone living their normal lives, suddenly they are warned of impeding doom and receive some OP skills/ forewarning and training, then the apocalypse begins and they begin to kick ass. This is that story, except the someone is a dog (a very good boy), and, honestly, this should not work as well as it does, but it works and we receive a well above-average story for it, so enjoy!

    As the title of my review says, Dog has a refreshing take on the apocalypse! You get to traverse into the end of the world along side great characters that are both relatable and adorable. Though this far we aren't sure what exactly is responsible for the end, it's great to get a break from those pesky undead that pop up in many stories like this. I, for one, can't wait to see what is really the cause of it all. Of course, I am somewhat biased, as I am the author's husband. That said, I always aim to be honest and objective, especially when is comes to skrwerpb's work.
    The writing style is easy to read and almost conversational. This makes for an easy to read story that you get lost in rather easily. I love the subtle humor as well, it's enough to make you laugh out loud at times, without feeling like the author is outright prompting you. The short chapters are also great as you can find nice stopping points when you don't have a lot of time to devote to the story at once.
    The grammar is top notch (though the occasional typo does sneak in). Poor grammar really breaks the illusion in my opinion and this is definitely not the case with this story.
    Finally, the characters are amazing. They encompass such a broad spectrum from all sorts of life. Each species really seems to have their own personality and personal ticks. There are a lot of supporting characters but none of them fall flat and I keep wondering and looking forward to who we'll meet next.
    Overall, I think if you are looking for the lighter side of the end of the world this is the story for you!

    Haven't gotten far enough into it to give a real accurate rating on this but it's definitely good so far, mostly though it just has a ton of potential for tons of different ways the stories could go, like how specific the numbers for resistance are going down to 0.01 and how different skills could improve in different ways when leveled and all that has tons of potential for mini maxing and all the different systems and the lighthearted fun style so far with bits of dark and sadness just generally make it feel like it could go anywhere from here.
    The reason I'm reviewing now is the author asked for it, but I'm leaving it at 4.5 stars for now because it seems like it's gonna be great no matter where it goes but maybe not entirely amazing if it goes the wrong way.
    Anyways the first few chapters alone are fun to read even if only for the unique style that makes it genuinely feel like the main character is a dog rather than a person in a dogs body like several other stories.
    No idea why this isn't more popular.

    Well written LIGHT hearted LITRPG. Although, there are those little things that don't make sense, like how could a dog,that couldn't understand Human language until a few hours earlier,  know what an oiled machine is, or how complex the dialogues between dogs are from the start. The fact that the girl , probably because is young, decided to not tell the father about the impending apocalypse and talking dog, and they practically didn't prepare at all. Like, when she said she was gonna buy survival gear and she didn't for some reason? I only read the first chapters but it prospect a very light read, with probably a good plot armour.
