Publisher's Summary

I'm a college student who watched with my own eyes as the world descended into hell. A Dark Sphere arrived on Earth, turning half the planet into zombies. They thrive on killing us—people—as every kill fuels their development and makes them stronger. Besides zombies, there are also mutants—mutated animals—plus monsters: bizarre creatures in possession of striking strength and abilities. Levels, skills, new yet unheard-of objects…our world has changed. We have only one hope of surviving: we need to fight. By killing zombies, mutants, and monsters, we're becoming stronger. And I, Andrew First, will be the strongest of them all.

Joke MC good story

So first off the story itself is cool and I like how the powers/abilities/skills stuff works.
Also the idea of how the world becomes game like is also neat and interesting.
I only made it 5 hours into the book before getting sick of the MC, without trying to spoil it.
He’s an asshole and not in the alpha kinda charming way, just an obnoxious prick. Yes he helps people, yes he is kind to them but the amount of time spent tooting his own horn, self aggrandising and just boasting got old super fast.

The story itself is really great and if it weren’t for the authors choice of making the MC an insufferable prick I’d have given it 5 stars.

Honestly sucks because this could have been awesome but listening to this asshole MC constantly is annoying AF
