Summary
You are no one. Level zero. Empty of mind and memory. Even your past has been stripped from your brain by the inscrutable System.
A long, difficult road lies between you and remembering any part of who you are. A road punctuated with one death after another. You are too puny to survive by might alone. Information is the single resource that might keep you alive, but the brainless “digis” have none of it. Only those with experience can give you what you need, but most care nothing about you or your plight. In fact, some make it their mission to kill you.
So die you will, again and again, your life counter clicking lower and lower. Even the creators do not know what happens when your counter reaches zero, but many are sure that your last life here is just that. No more respawns.
You are not the first player in the world of STYX, and you will not be the last. You can only hope luck will be on your side. The luckiest players are those who find a vulnerability in the System. Those they call cheaters.
Perhaps cheating is the only way to win.
Enjoy your game.

Unique take on the zombie apocalypse and litrpgs
This book takes the best bits of the zombie apocalypse ,the series Lost and litrpg trope and plops it into world of its very own.
However I do have one complaint with this book. Despite being a very well written, better than most you will find on audible, the MC says and thinks things a 13 year old would find embarrassing. To the point it almost put me off the book. So I am happy I kept going as from second book onwards he improves vastly.
This is my first review on this site as I really hope to see more from this series. The Respawn books is one the few audiobooks I listen to more than once and has become a instant preorder for me.

slow to start. Gets better
It took me a while to get into this book. I did read previous reviews and yes the main character is misogynistic but he is also portrayed as a fool compared to the main strong female character.
The story was tricky to understand to begin with but I was enjoying the 2and half of the book. Although this book has mixed reviews the following ones have 5 stars. I probably will try book 2

Zombies and RPG and intrigue (oh my)
An easy reading adventure, with some interesting draws.
The peril is real and the author leans in to it.
The secondary character isn't a dude, shows up the protagonists failing, and isn't there as a sexy lampshade.
The protagonist isn't a god-modded self-insert Mr Perfect. He's an a~hole know-it-all, who is repeatedly punished for being a know-it-all a~hole.
The zombies sit in the background being all "raar" but the real threat is the humans.
On the flip side:
There are a whole lot of plot holes e.g. The protagonist has very selective amnesia such as not knowing what a router is, but does know how to navigate the internet.
The protagonist really is a humongous a~hole, and a misogynistic one at that.
The two main characters spend most of the book hurling childish insults at each other.

I wish she'd went for her first choice of name for him
What a moron, she should have went with her first choice of name for him.
He is such an idiot but I guess that means there's a lot of room for character progression. Good basis for a storyline though.

Slow start, and I do not like the MC
It takes 3-4 Hours to get into the Book. It starts slow and some review say it is kind of boring. For me, it felt this way too. If you invest it, the story gets going and after 7 hours, it really was okay. But the MC is really a dense Bonehead. Quite some in the LitRPG MCs start this way, so nothing new here. Still, if there ever is a competiton for the most annoying and clueless MC - this one will Rank in the Top 3.
In total, the narrator is great, the Story okay. I just could not warm up to the series.

The world.
Better than expected. Mostly due to the mystery of it all. Not much rpg nonsense in it
Update: I finished them all...
This got me so hooked I could not stop until the last one.
It all gets better and better.
Definitely give it a try even if you are not that interested in litRPG.
I am not and still think it is a stupid genera.

I'm not a fan
The story is very mediocre, the characters are very little sense and the constant bickering is annoying. I like the idea about enemy types but the leveling up systems makes no sense. the guy is killing things 37 levels higher but only goes up by one level. so many things in this book make no sense.
