A very interesting read turning the afterlife into a game. I loved the creative approach of the author in how they explained the afterlife and the process of waiting to meet the king of the underworld. One thing that threw me off was that the king of the underworld was a female although constantly being referred to as King which is normally a term saved for males. Other than that the writing was great the pacing amazing throughout. The way the character grows in the game and outpaces many other players out of sheer determination was interesting to see and reminds me of some people I know in real life who are the same way when gaming. All in all. Great work author! It was a fun read and it is exciting to see where the story will go next.

I'm not sure specifically as there's not enough information provided. But knowing Stephen King's work, it could be an ordinary person thrust into the afterlife situation, like a regular Joe who has to deal with the strange and often terrifying aspects of the after - death world.
