The usual, 3* for World Building and Update Stability since it's new. To sum it up, it's Supernatural + Gantz = this novel; certain people becomes players in a Supernatural type setting. The concept is very intriguing if you're into the horror type genre that dabbles into mmorpg game mechanics. The MC, in my opinion, is someone you either love or hate. I'll give you 4 examples of what kind of character he is; Dr. House, Everett Backstrom, and Sherlock from both versions which are BBC's Sherlock and Elementary. A very intelligent a*shole. In the beginning I was put off because of the MC's character. If you can grind and get past that and somehow reach the end (which is currently chapter 60), then the story seriously opens up. Granted his attitude still ticks me off, but the story is good enough to maybe carry the entire novel, maybe. The story is about an event that happens on Earth which allows certain people to become players in a game that involves ghosts, mysticism, the undead and other supernatural phenomenon. So far, the goal is to find, accept and complete missions that deals with the unknown, level up and repeat the process.No spoilers so the only thing I can say is that there is a twist. Verdict: 50/50 depending on your mood and preference.
I absolutely love this book! I am a big fan of post apocalyptic movies and books and this is one of my top ones. The main characters being gay is definitely a bonus, giving something to relate to. This is very well written and just sucks you right in from the very start. I give it a 10/10
The book is very interesting. Lets forget about the synopsis being eye catching, the prologue is like a master piece. The author described every single detail so well that i felt like i was practically inside the book itself. I recommend this book to fantasy lovers. You won't be disappointed!
