⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fun Gritty Comic-Book-like LitRPG
If you’re looking for a LitRPG that’s more SciFi and violent than playful sword’n’sorcery, I highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Darker Series, but Turned On Its Head Like Much of His Work
There is a ton of action and a gritty tone to this. The main character starts off as a programmed and trained badass. But while combat and survival is at the forefront of the story, the real development is not in powers or skills. It’s in the main character, *designed by those around him* to be a one-dimensional character, finding out his dimensions are deeper than anyone realized, and what that means for him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In the vein of Punisher, Venom, and Deadpool
This story is great. If you liked Venom, Punisher, and Deadpool, you will love this. Kaden comes across as a no holds barred, ready to unleash the pain.
Kaden knows how the world ends
Meet Kaden
He’s been raised according to the roadmap of the future that his father received, all so he can wage a relentless battle against the impending apocalypse.
