As far as apocalyptic novels go, this one is not the worst I have seen for sure, but it's also not a good pick if you are selective and want a good writing and engaging plot. There are two main problems that were very glaring to me:The first problem comes from the Main Character, who is too cool with everything that's been happening for someone his age that's been living in modern society. It's a very unrealistic behavior, even more so if you consider that even adults wouldn't be able to keep a calm judgment when faced with such an unexpected situation. He's shown as someone just too detatched, even if you consider the bullying and what is known of him on those first chapters. In this case, the author would have been better using a Third Person Perspective instead of a First one. He probaly intended to make the MC as someone who lacked trust and was apathetic towards other human beings because of all the bullying, but not turning him into a sociopath, except that the way the MC describes his actions and thoughts just came out as bizarre in this case.The second problem is the lack of explanation for some very important knowledge the MC seems to have. It's just weird, for example, how he just decided that a place was a dungeon out of the blue and then, later, it was confirmed. Aside from that, there are other points where you feel like he has too much unexplained knowledge about what is going on and is too proficient in what he's doing.Aside from those two problems, the secondary characters are well written, with consistent personalities and actions that don't go too much out of reality, even when we're talking about the alternate personas the MC made. The world building is poor, and there's only a minimal desciption of the characters appearances.In short, it's a novel to read when you have nothing else to do.
