There is a lot to talk about with this book and all of it is good. Let’s start with the mc who is in his early fifties and out of shape. Wow, that’s me! No wonder I like this book. He picks the class of Fortifier witch sound like a really lame class in a world where the system rules and fighting is a must. However, a Fortifier can make more than one base and make upgrades to it that others can’t. The next thing about the mc that you won’t get from the first few chapters is that he is a fighter. Now things get interesting.
The man can fight and make fortified bases which can give others a safe space. He actively looks for others to share the safety while building the beginnings of civilized life amidst the System’s craziness. This is base building from a different perspective and done extremely well. The other part of this is the mc has to deal with survivors’ guilt and the anger due to all that the System took from him. Yeah, the man has some anger issues. He also has built a community that can help him deal with everything from the mundane day to day issues and projects to the emotional crap that everyone has from experiences dealing with the System.
This was an excellent book that needs an immediate sequel! I mean it didn’t really end with a cliffhanger but WTF I wanted at least 2 more chapters. Andrew Tell’s performance was excellent especially considering this was a solo performance. Now to address that pesky label. I did receive a free code for this book in return for an HONEST and EARLY review. Free doesn’t mean good. I can honestly say to those of you who are considering this book, go for it, you won’t be disappointed.
