Description

One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.

When I read that fiction has one line of hook description and a whole bunch of disclaimers, I thought to myself 'How bad could it be?' It promises something extra-ordinary. And maybe, just a little bit of openmindedness might allow me treated by something exceptional.
Well, it is different.

To keep a reader read a fiction, one strategy is to make them care for the characters. Character could personify something reader aspire to be, or something to identify with, or maybe possessing a bit quirkiness to make their interaction fresh and interesting. Failing any of above, an author can create decent persona that's likeable enough.
This fiction follows nothing of that. The main character Sam is a psychopath. The way he think is repulsive. The only reason he need to hurt somebody (yes, he eventually hurt someone not zombie), is because the same can be done to him. He didn't bother to find out who is his victim. One time, he saw a use of killing some random, Next time, he did it. He saw opportunity, he took it. No need to ponder about the good of his action. Because outside his own survival, nothing is sacred.
If you are a kind of reader who require a character to be interesting, avoid this fiction. Sam the main character is boring. Repulsive and boring.

The author said the main character care very little about its surrounding. Description would be sparse. Sam would spare a glance and immediately judge its value to him. For the first few chapters, this fiction is exactly as what author said. But then, a new POV emerge. Just several paragraphs on the bottom of a chapter, but the style is exactly the same.
Then something about ability/skill get mentioned. It happened suddenly, but not a sign of surprise from main character that after few level (yes, this is a litrpg) you will have option to gain free skill. It's as if it was given. Everybody knows, therefore no effort is needed to bring reader attention to it.
I think author did not tell us the complete truth. It's n

For me to like a novel there needs to be at least decent grammar, well this story isn't it. I'm barely even exaggerating here when I say there is a grammatical error in every sentence. I'm a huge grimdark fan and the synopsis looked really good, but man, I could barely make it 2 chapters before this 1-star review.
Please proof-read your chapters before posting them please.

story got potential but all in all really bad.
Grammar is ok.
Story got potential but reads like a 0815 litrpg zombieoutbreak with nothing special, Class system and skills only thru killing.
MC total bullshit. First anti social guy that think at day 1 or 2 already about killing people. Kills zombies as much as possible until he reach certain lvl and people got used to it. Then kills first guy without anyreason, later author describes how MC thinks how funny it is that the killed person 5 year old child gets ripped apart. Then at some point MC thinks about womens because he met a cute one, now you would think it turns into MC raping but no, behold MC suddenly has some moral because at least until chapter 22 he never mention it and how great prostitution is. Suddenly he gets sex with older women and he cares about people!?!?!?!
