Who this is for
AI · Sample
A relentless, joke-a-page apocalyptic LitRPG that rewards readers who don't mind game mechanics on the page. The humour does the heavy lifting — if Hitchhiker's Guide meets a roguelike sounds appealing, you're the audience. Readers who bounce off it usually cite the stat blocks and the cat. Best read in long sittings; the pace assumes you're not putting it down.
