- theodiciesRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I just finished up RPG Apocalypse on KU and dove into this. The author really knows how to weave a story and I'm interested to see where this one goes. The mechanics are unique and for a game-ified world I feel they leave the characters with some really tough choices. There is no build up unlimited skills going on here.
- The King of GamesRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The story is good, It does a great job at keeping you engaged. I like the characters the writing style makes it a quick read, and I'm happy with how the characters level up. I would say this is a must-read. My only qualm is that I wish we got more character development, but I can overlook that because the system presented is solid.
- TonyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I really enjoyed the author’s other works on KU, but I like the tone and pace of this story more so far. I just finished chapter 6 and wanted to review. What I want in a book is enough interesting things happening to keep me excited and turning pages. So far, this book has that in spades. The last two chapters are ramping up the possibilities of where this is all headed. No dragged out, complex set-up in the beginning, which is a big plus to me too.
- 1Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Captivating start, a good addition to the system apocalypse genre.
Worldbuilding wise, this story takes place on a fictional version of Earth, and then the monsters started spawning. There's plenty of explaining to do in order to flesh out this new reality, which I look forward to.
One thing I enjoyed is the gritty style, the author does not hold back on describing violent fight scenes, and they are pretty well written to boot.
I look forward to more plot being introduced in the future! - Oisin MuldowneyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm enjoying this serial a lot, even more than the author's other series, which was very good.
So far here the focus has been on survival in a post system-apocalypse city and progressing up in levels and power. The LitRPG elements are really solid and tight, with the MC making the most of his ability to summon undead from the corpses of the slain. He's smart and does well.
I really like the friendship he has going with his teammate Jessica, who is growing into a really effective ranger-type.
And as I write this review it looks like they are going to try to establish a base for the other survivors of the apocalypse to rally to, which I look forward to seeing. - JaKlRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5The overall story is a good read. It doesn't exactly break the mold when it comes to Game-like apocalypses, but it also doesn't cr*p the bed. The progression is easy to follow, starting off nice and simple but leaving plenty of room to grow.
The MC is a decent enough (no creepy fetishs or chuuni theatrics) and is easy to relate to. Side characters need a bit of fleshing out but for 21 chapters in (at the time of review) there's at least a decent cast.
While the overall story is pretty entertaining the idea that the MC basically missed everything going to hell in a handbasket is somewhat weak. Something like 99% of the population nearby is killed, or at least disappeared to parts unknown, without him hearing so much as a peep. Seems unlikely.
The style is good. It's an apocalypse story so there has to be at least some grim parts, but overall the author keeps it more entertaining than dark. The flow of the story is good with nothng rushed or dragging on forever.
The grammer and spelling is excellent without any issues that I could see, a real plus for the story. If found plenty of good books that were ruined by bad spelling but this one is definitely not one of them.
Overall, definitely worth reading. - AlejoTheBearRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5So no real issues in grammer or style. Dialoge is pretty flat when it does happen. Mosty my lower rating comes because there has been absolutely zero information about either protagonist.
The guys family doesnt live in that town. Thats... about it. Absolutely zero details about second person. Are they in school? Family? Any detail to distinguish from a mannequin? World seems fine and combat is el described, but i do hope for more reason to care about the main focus of the story. - bwfoster78Royal Road★★★ 3.0I like this one. The protagonist is very calm and reasonable. The other main character is very likeable. The story focuses more on logical progression than on litrpg exploints. The style might be a little ponderous at times, and some more proofreading might not go amiss. Overall, though, I'm always happy to see new chapters posted.
