This book is a good attempt at the lit-rpg genre but like many of it’s peers it falls short if you want a consistent world that makes sense. The stats system in this book are an issue since since base human stats are so low and people have gained stats to make themselves super human but never act like it.
The biggest issue I have with this book is the pandering to “gamers” in world as having more of a clue how things work. People heard a voice and got a message screen about Armageddon but no one spent time bunkering or even just reading since it seems to system seems to help.
The stats never seem to matter it feels more like basic apocalyptic fantasy than lit-rpg. Never does someone doubling their strength or intelligence ever actually change them making the choices very bland.
Heck it feels like everything just benefits the MC more than others or that the others couldn’t be bothered to try harder to survive. These facts just made this book a choir that just got harder after every eye roll about how much like a game it is yet they explain why something’s work the way they do
