Interesting Story Terrible MC

So first off I thought this was an ok book. The narrator did a good job, the premise and storyline weren't half bad, I even found the game mechanics interesting. The main issue I had that stopped me really enjoying the novel however was the MC who for THE ENTIRE BOOK just complained about all the rich people that could afford to be survivors instead of zombies. It's not an exaggeration to say the man became incredibly obsessed about it and that obsession pretty much drove his motivation for whole story.

At first this was fine and even understandable after all this is essentially a free to play game that rewards big spenders but as the story went on his constant complaining became annoying asf. It goes from "stupid rich people get to play as survivors" to "I hate all rich people it's their fault my job/ life sucks so much they all deserve to suffer". I don't know if it was intended or not but it just makes the MC come off as an unhinged loser that blames everyone but himself for his own real life problems.

I'll be getting the next book once it becomes available because despite the problems I have with the MC the book does enough that I want to see where the story ends up going. Though if the MC continues to be like he was in this book I highly doubt I'd bother getting the third book no matter how interesting the storyline maybe.
