Summary
To do list for the post apocalypse:
1. Survive the orcs rampaging through your city.2. Survive the pod trying to steal your mind.3. Pull off the greatest heist of all time.
Eric was as shocked as everyone else when the apocalypse struck, but unlike his mother's movie, there were no chosen heroes destined to fight the beast hordes now overrunning the planet.
Just people trying desperately to survive.
Yet there was a glimmer of hope that humanity could hold on to. A chosen few really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, adventure, and the potential for limitless power!
But the only way to find out if you were one of the lucky few who can level-up and grow stronger was to dare alien vegetative pods. Pods as happy to turn you into topsoil as give you any shot at mastering a System designed to benefit elite invaders, not fragile humans just trying to survive.
But Eric was all about beating the odds!
Along with a handful of new friends who happened to be rogues long before there was any System.
Friends absolutely intent on stealing a priceless fortune that their enemies are eager to claim, right out from under the noses of everyone trying to kill them!
Eric might not be able to save the world, but nothing says he can't make a killing! All he has to do is outmaneuver a thousand orcs, outfox an army of too-clever elves, and escape a war-torn city without getting caught!
Eager for a fast-paced adventure with a survivor determined to get the best of everyone trying to kill him and make a fortune while doing so? Then prepare to be blown away by some of the best voice actors in the business!

FRICKING AWESOME
I've been waiting for something like this for ages. It will probably draw comparisons to the Underverse series by Jez Cajiao due to storyline and Narrator. I absolutely loved this book it was brilliant and I can't wait for book 2.

the explanation of the combat
Abit drawn out at times, usually when describing various things, like a situation, things happening or different thoughts in Abit too much detail

Spectacular
Brutal combat set in a fast paced almost non stop apocalypse action story. A phenomenal blend of fun and interesting characters with villains you can truly hate. Honestly it's one of my top 3 first in a series books I've read this year.

bad pacing, overexplainig, deus ex machina, sexism, and beutiful prose.
This book is 90% pure garbage, 5% average slopp, and 5% magnificent writing.
The pacing is off. If there's a fight there is 10 minutes of inner dialogue before every strike. Training? 10 min inner monologue. Spaghetti? 40 min inner dialogue. For every 5 minutes of great writing you have to slog through 2 hours of irrelevant garbage.
Due to the insistent milking of the story and the endless inner dialogue, everything is explained in excruciating detail. The main character is consistently (9 different times) whining about how everything is rigged for the 1%, whilst he himself is in the 0.1%. The story is filled with endless pushing of the authors political views, starting with a somewhat Liberal view (though this is poorly framed) evolving into a constant vilification of "21st century sensibilities". At least it is character development.
more infuriating is that everything is explained except things that are necessary for the plot to progress.
This leads to Eric, the dense MC, constantly doing stupid things and going on suicide missions that he miraculously survives because he had information that we are not in any way privy to. It is extremely obvious when the author doesn't have a relevant explanation as to why Eric survives, and it is equally obvious when the information is withheld, even at the cost of the flow of the story before the eventual suicide missions.
The characters are eclectic, oxymoronic, and inconsistent. They don't have a personality that is predictable. Except the MC being dense and the bad guys being bad. the bad guys are so cartonishly evil, it makes me sad.
if you trudge through the 39 hours of displeasure, you will also realise that all of the women in the story fall into 2 1/2 categories: Conniving or "voluptuous breasts" / damsel. there is nothing more to them. Even the one woman who is integral to the story gets that treatment. It's like a r/menwritingwomen circle jerk.
Finally, the Narrators. The male narrator, who reads most of the story, seems to love what ge is doing. Though this is nice, he presents everything as if it were a commercial for used cars. The narrator who narrates the women only ever sounds sultry, but this is because of how rlthe story and characters are written.
I would not recommend unless you enjoy brainrot.
