The Rektoning: DeadHeads revolt
Self-Published
Community Rating
Description
Not all births are a gift from God, some are in fact gruesome, bloody, and involve a lot of pain and trauma. This goes doubly so if you're a not quite zombie, not quite human undead man baby called DeadHead.
Stuck dealing with gods who think of humans as playthings, Demons that won't shut the hell up, and a curse that thinks it owns his body. Witness the ugly and cruel conception of a new type of hero.
Spoiler he doesn't survive the birth...

- woseRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5Extremely fun story to read through, maintaining a Doom 2016-style fast pace throughout. I am catching a lot of John Dies At The End horror vibes that the author is drawing from which fit the style of the fiction perfectly. Also, the author is going back and reworking parts of his story which I have seen 0 people do on the platform and is highly commendable.
What didn't work for me: slipped grammar and syntax errors and the chat speak do get tedious at times. Also, the "metagame" prologue clashes very oddly with the story which is just this Crank-style exploration into whatever the heck is going on. Perhaps the author should consider reworking or removing it as it takes away from the story?
