Apocalypse Hero: A Dark Fantasy Gamelit (The Adventures of Dan Book 1)

51uWOozIZdL.jpg

One man, one bat, one adventure.

A suburb full of the undead.

A city full of monsters.

And Dan.

Dan was just an average guy, overworked, underappreciated, and down on his luck. Until the end of the world came and gave him a system and with it a chance to be what he had always wanted to be.  A Hero.  But first, he needs to learn how to help himself stop dying until he can git gud. 

My Opinion: 172 pages, $2.99, Available On Kindle Unlimited

The main character (MC) of the story is kinda an idiot who makes bad decisions after bad decisions during the RPG apocalypse. Thankfully he has the ability to respawn or he'd have died permanently long ago. After some leveling up he is forced into a fighting tournament, which also doesn't go well for him. Yet despite, or maybe because of, the underdog tone, you can't help but root for the guy. There's an enjoyable self deprecating dark humor to the story that is entertaining. 

The game mechanics are fairly standard. Levels, stats, abilities. It was only slightly annoying to see the MC hoard ability points he could have used to better survive without any good reason. But other than that, fairly good stuff.

Score: 7.4 out of 10
