writing is pretty good for the most part, plenty readable, however occasionally some explanations get somewhat convoluted, but not really a deal breaker. updates arent exactly fast, but writing is difficult so i cant hammer the author for it really. story, honestly it starts out pretty good, till chapter 30-40ish the story is pretty interesting, new things happen, but after that i feel like things starts to get stale pretty quickly, combined with the fact that i feel like the author almost forgot that the game system was a thing between chapter 40-100. theres just a lot of repeat fighting. the power ups feel boring in a way, "i want to see the world in chaos" and he gets time dialation? and then its never brought up again. the cross/church is talked about being something good for like 15 chapters. and its just exp bonus?. ive rambled enough here lets move on. characters. they arent bad per say, just occasionally bipolar. i kind of expect a "reasonable tyrant" type of mc, but he just switches between dumb violence, and stupid sympathy. world background is fine-ish, and is fed pretty dynamically, eg not info dumps. but i still feel like i know nothing. i think alot of this can be attributed to the small scale of the current "world" since its effectively like a 1km radius and its being described almost a bit too much for whats actually there? anyway i ended up putting it on hold at chapter 128, i dont hate the story, it just feel really dull to binge. good luck

This is a very good review. Very constructive, (y). In my defense, when I started writing, I only got to plot the outline for the first 50 chapters. After that I went blind and, thus, the abomination arc (chaps 50-100.) Thank you for the good review.

well, I guess after you go like 150~300 chapter, it will be a good time to rewrite some early chapter and edit them there (at that time you would have better idea for your novel to plan, and also better writing skill), because if not then you will have a hard time getting new reader due to that part of your novel. I guess I will waiting for the rewrite then

Writing quality started off alright, then slowly came to sh!t. The grammar mistakes (lots of em) come at around chapter 40. At this point, the writing is not even a fraction as smooth as it had been when the story started. Can't say much about story development since I'm only up to chapter 58. All I can say is that it's quite boring at the later chapters, like you can predict what's going to happen. MC's merry band is equipped with thick plot armour and his only goal is to lead them to build a shop where they can sell goods.? I feel that author is downplaying the sense of danger in an apocalypse. It's like I'm reading a book about a party in a videogame farming for exp instead of an apocalypse story... There's plus sides though, in the earlier chapters, the entire part showcasing MC's history was done splendidly, but it all went downhill from there. The author only uses MC's background to explain his skillfulness at killing zombies and doesn't touch upon it again. Is he worried about his remaining family or does he not care and wants to forget them? And the other main characters (his best friends) are not emphasised upon. (at least not at chapter 60, maybe they will be later). They seem like the bland side characters instead of the mains because the author doesn't put much of an effort to describe their relationship with the MC. Side characters are side characters. Up to chapter 60, we only now their names and their previous occupation or general information (she is a middle-aged woman!). World background is actually pretty okay. Typical zombie apocalypse stuff yada yada. I like what the author did with the system, and explaining that those who couldn't take the pain at the start became zombies. He could build upon this and slowly reveal stuff about how it happened and why the system is in place. I stopped reading at chp. 65 because of the bad grammar. If it's fixed, I may start reading again. The novel started off strong and i hope it can salvage it's quality in future chapters.
