《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》"To be a runner" by GravityWillFall01
Advertisement
I started reading this book at the right time. I'm currently watching Cryaotic's let's play of the Walking Dead, so I was in a perfect zombie apocalypse mood.
This book follows the plot of Zombies, run!, which I believe is an exercise app. In the game, you are runner five, and you work out while doing various zombie apocalypse related missions as a runner for Abel Township.
Seeing as I've never played this game (it's too big for my phone), I can't exactly tell what the Author made up and what not. I'll try my best, bear with me.
The plot is mainly the game's plot, but really, with this book I don't care that the author didn't think it up all by herself. The plot is awesome.
I also don't know which characters are from the game and which are OC's, (I can guess but meh) but I like all of them. They have great chemistry and I love 'em to bits.
GPS is well done, but you can find a lot of editing mistakes in the chapters. I recommend double-checking for mistakes before publishing.
Two more things:
1. I love the writing style. It's not too over-the-top descriptive, but it doesn't lack anything either. I like it that way. Keep up the good work!
2. There are currently 49, LONG chapters. It took me a few days to read the whole thing. It's awesome, but you gotta have the time for it.
Lastly, a thing I want to ask you guys: how come nobody in the zombie apocalypse ever thinks about riding a bicycle? In my country, we use bicycles for everything. They don't require fuel, they're faster and less tiring then running... I dunno, it seems like perfect apocalypse transportation to me.
All in all, I recommend this book to... hm... everyone! Go read it!
Rating: 8.5

The Demon of Shadows (Hiatus)
Spartans. Genetically modified supersoldiers who participated in the spartan program, which aimed to reinforce and compensate for the humans capability of emotion in order to create the ideal supersoldier. The program itself resulting in the implantation of a limiter for a certain individual, which acted in limiting that persons emotions. Replacing it with a cold logical based calculative mindscape. The limiter aimed to support the ideal supersoldier in completing the objectives assigned to them. Be it mass slaughter, or assasination. One such man who had volunteered to participate in the program to provide data in return for a large sum of money to save a precious friend, has his life lost in battle after years of service and mindless violence. Death, however, was something he usually gave, not to receive. So when death comes to take his life, he awaits in silence, only to be dumbfounded at what is to happen next. This is the story of Nicholas Gray, the Shadow Demon. Note: Story is based on other LitRPGs found on the site such as Dante's Immortality, Necromancer and Co, etc. and on Halo for the majority of the first chapter and possibly later on down the road, I only borrowed things such as the armour and weapons used in the game itself and all credit goes to them for that kind of stuff. I will also perhaps use it to explain his backstroy to further character progression if I can. The cover photo was also a picture I found on the internet and if you wish for credit or for me to take it down just say so and i'll do it as fast as possible. I also don't have a set schedule, and this is just being used to improve my grammar and just as a hobby, nothing more. I will also appreciate feedback in regards to grammar, style, and story in general as this is the first time I have created a story apart from at school, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Life as a Game, Cool
Soo… Hello? Why am I doing this? Ugh… Anyway, name’s Sethsamm, no last name. Why you ask? Well… it all started with me waking up and having this holographic RPG-like window in front of me. Sounds like one of the many mangas’ I read, funny. So I got this window, then it explains that my life is now a video game. And then shit hits the hay… Starts up a bit slow, also a bit of wish fulfillment. Of course, there will be plot since I have a dislike for stories without plot, conflict, or even MC struggles.

The Crossing Vol. 2
Life isn’t always fair. While most have the blessing of having two loving parents, Glacia Weiss is living another reality. The Gardenia, a warrior whose soul is half dragon, was murdered in the dead of night. This warrior was Glacia’s mother. Who witnessed the murder at only eight years old. The man who committed murder was none other than her father, Wiley Weiss. Unknowing of what would happen to her, she escaped the estate and fled the city into the darkness of the night as the dragon’s soul bound itself to its offspring. Days later, she was found in the wild by a woman named Lavia Achilles, the leader of an order called the Tarragon, who took her in. For reasons she didn’t understand, the Tarragon never returned her, and the details of her mother’s death never went beyond her being murdered to the public. Over ten years, the scene of her mother’s death had replayed day after day as the only one who knew what really happened that night. Driving her to escape the order and find her father, only to fail repeatedly. It wasn’t until the day she became one of them where freedom felt possible. On orders, she’s sent to the edge of the Elysia border. Miles from where, a year prior, the port town of Morath was burned to the ground from a dragon attack. Now haunted by what’s believed to be a fragmented being of the fire deity: The Ash of Ebon. To her, it looks more of an opportunity to earn her freedom. To confront her mother’s murderer and do the same justice unto him.
