Publisher's summary

Where others see doom, he sees opportunity. Hell Difficulty? More like a chance to thrive.

Nathaniel's bus ride was supposed to be just another boring commute. Wrong. Now, he, 23 fellow passengers, and a corgi named Biscuit, are stuck in a "Hell Difficulty" Tutorial, battling monsters and leveling up to survive.

Easy difficulty, anyone can handle. Normal difficulty, you've got to put up a fight to get by. Hard difficulty is where only the tough ones last. And Hell? That's where you have to be a bit out of your mind!

With his terrifying talent for mana manipulation, Nathaniel decides to invest every stat point into mana. Attribute imbalance be damned. It will either kill him before the monsters and his enemies can, or turn him into one of the most powerful beings within the system.

Never underestimate the guy who has so much Mana it should kill him...

Follow Nathaniel's crazy journey as he takes on nightmarish foes and teams up with a far-from-normal group of bus passengers in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure. He must outsmart the odds, survive, and emerge stronger than anyone else!

Perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Defiance of the Fall, and Apocalypse: Generic System. Grab your copy today!

interesting start

Enjoyable and engaging story/plot. Good amount of action and World overview. Great take on the tutorial troupe that you see, while the mc isn't the typical hero, he's not an anti hero either.

Pros:
plot line and story development
character progression
engaging narration

Cons:
Mc does mental jumps and though like a ADHD kid on sugar.
Characters don't really get flushed out enough to make them engaging.
Mc's state choices are questionable. (even the character releases this but doesn't attempt to fix it at all.)

Really fun journey with a non-cookie main character

Don't usually write reviews, but saw this book on Reddit and picked it up since I wanted another lit RPG. While the main character is on a bit of the edgy side, I think the author wrote them really well and it made for an interesting start to a series. very much looking forward to more from this series going forward!

Characters

The internal dialogue from the main character is amazing and gets me every time. Henry Kramer did an incredible job narrating.

Dislikable for most of it.

The main character was so dislikable. I didn’t think I was going to actually finish this book. But at least by the end he started to show some redeeming qualities. His bullying, intimidating, an absolutely no regard for others really made it a hard sell. Showing some redeeming qualities by the end is enough for me to get the next book to see where it is going.

I hate the main character

Im not even a quarter of the way through and am said i lost the credit. The story has been fine and the plot and characters pretty well developed. But the main guy Nathaniel is just about impossible for me to like. Not 2 minutes from being transported he's plotting how to use and/or kill people to his advantage. Its just not what I expected. He's unfriendly and in his own words he says he'll use them for give and take and it'll be more take then anything. And he blames it on being introverted... like im introverted but he's a school shooter vibe all for himself. I'm giving up. I hope this helps someone.

Great story

I love the mc and I like this take on system apocalypse story. Maybe a little too many fight scenes for me, but that's just preference.

Great Start!

Great start to a new series. An emotionally deficient MC, means no overally moralizing, or second/triple guessing on his quest to become OP, constantly facing increasingly difficult challenges. Can't wait for the next one!

Good LitRPG

The main character is very different than most litrpg books I have read. He seems a bit evil and is all about getting revenge on anyone that wronged him.
Overall I enjoyed the book a lot and recommend it if you want a book with a different take on the LitRPG genre.

Interesting story

So I can understand some of the criticisms in the other reviews. The MC is a bit hard to handle in terms of thought process and actions sometimes. Maybe it speaks more about myself that I enjoyed this story.
World building is well done and leaves you wanting more without leaving giant gaps in information.
System is interesting and a combo of some winners we see in the genre.
MC is absolutely not a hero, not quite a villain either. He is going to do some things that most people will not like. But to me they made sense once you understand the MC a little better.

Overall a fantastic story and well worth a listen if you’re a fan of slightly villainous MCs. Be aware going in that you will probably disagree with the MC, or you might understand him some.

Tough to read

Well written, but hard to read. All the characters seem to be suffering from Sociopathy. None of them seem to have any human empathy.
