    I was requested for a review, read through around 10 chapters to get a good enough feel of the story and now I'm here to deliver.
    Style:
    Bit of magic, fighting, drama, and other stuff sprinkled into a world with a system-apocalypse and monsters n shit? Always interested to see and read. As far as how well they are done I'd say roughly 3.5-stars.
    Some of the 'drama' can feel a bit 'cliché'. If you've ever read a Xianxia/Wuxia novel and gone "what psychotic prick would murder a teenager 30 years younger than them over a minor inconvenience?" then had to see it happen another 4 times in that one novel, then you know what I'm talking about. Shit escalates fast in the Wanderer Of Cards universe. People killing people over minor disagreements, Chuuni monsters, stuff like that.
    I will say that some of it is entertaining, survival stories in bad situations are always entertaining to see how the writer does them. And in many cases the writer has done them well. People would be very 'eager' to get their hands on anything that could help, from batteries to food, lotta people would be willing to stab someone if they think they're survival or the survival of their families are at stake.
    Other than the general themes and stuff like that, the writer has done an alright job implementing the system itself. A lot of 'System/RPG' stories have a rough time implementing the system itself in a believable or realistic way.
    However, onto my downsides / future recommendations.
    -a few of the chapters are rather short, not all but some. I usually recommend around 3k words, but that is just a 'recommendation', you can ignore it if you want.
    -I think a few things are either overly expressed or under-utilized.
    A) the system integration itself is just text. Even if you don't use the RR box feature to make system messages or decide to avoid making custom images or fonts to 'represent the power' of the speaker or whatever, at least format or use Bold.
