Hi Everyone,
If you want to learn a little bit more about the book before deciding whether to read it, I've included a bullet point list of some of the things that the story features:
-A strong but not overpowered protagonist.
-Magic
-Characters that make reasonable decisions and have more personality than a box of cardboard.
-A standard litrpg progression with plenty of level ups and blue screens.
-A highly customizable Skill system. For example, with enough Skill Points, Mana Bolt can be upgraded to shoot out multiple orbs at once, follow targets to become undodgeable, or simply hit harder. Anything is possible with the right combination of Skill Paths.
-Interesting fight scenes
-A morally grey main character. They’re not mustache-twirling levels of evil, but they’re no stranger to crime.
-The apocalypse
-Frequent updates
