Publisher's Summary

Alvin woke in a room that was not his, to discover that he had died and his brain had been bargained off cheaply to pay off someone else’s debt. It did not sit well with him. It didn’t surprise him that even in death, people were still using him for their own purposes. He had never exactly been a good guy, but everyone had their breaking point, and he had found his.

The bastards in charge had uploaded his mind into a virtual death game. The whole world could now pay to see him play it and probably die. Alvin questioned whether he was really a bad guy, if this is how they wanted to treat him. Regardless, he was not about to wait for death to come for him. He would kick open the damn Apocalypse Gates and see about crushing everything that challenged him. It was time to make the world aware that he was done with pretending to be nice.

Welcome to Apocalypse Gates!

(This audiobook contains adult themes, including gore, death, drug use, and graphic sex.)

Nothing Special

The game world was lackluster with stereotypes as characters, a lack of stakes and awareness of the outside world, heavily tailored for an American audience, quite a few wish fuffilment and forced conflict moments, I don't buy the Mc's backstory or motivations, quite a few Asian novels have played this premise out before like gantz and the infinity series so I don't find it particularly inspirational, hopefully the next installment actually does something with all this set up.

The narrator was great.

Great Start Bad Plot imo.

The Story and the gamelike elements were great While it was revolving around the MC.
The moment it started being a community / safehold Simulator and the Erotic sences just made me feel no substances for Growth for the MC.
i Walked into this expecting to follow a Charcter Forced to be Strong by him self and Surivive by him self.
Than it turned into 20+ surviors as crutches and sex sences.

i Know the erotic nature isnt for everyone and thats just my Opinion and it definitely had a place in the scenario but it just felt Forced.

sigh... more smut than is needed.

I liked this story, the idea is amazing and it had me hooked.. but like many books in this genre its saturated with graphic sex scenes.. we get it, the characters like to shag, and the author obviously likes to explain it in detail. I was going to get the next books in the series, but reviews tell me it just gets worse with too much padding the story out with descriptions of "rock hard shafts, lining the inner walls off lady parts"

Author insert fiction

It is far better written than most fan fic, but the subject matter isn't.

A good deal of the narrative is spent describing the female protagonist, and once his girlfriend is introduced it falls into erotica.

Hey, I want a BTGG as well, but the domineering wank fest is not for me.
