Apocalypse Healer by HideousGrain
"Book one

I found the story to be too simplistic And the author Gave the MC skills at a ridiculous rate. I just didn't like it this is my opinion You may like it that will be fine. But this 1 just wasn't for me. The MC is in an area where an earthquake happened and buildings have collapsed yet all he can find for weapons is shattered stone. Skills happen too quickly and were too easy to come by.
The MC Also comes across as kind of stupid. You are in a devastated area surrounded by zombies and you are gonna give in to a fit of rage and kick a stone making noise that would attract them to your situation but you know plot armor.
I prefer something that is more thought out with a more rational and believable MC. After all he did survive a collapsing building when he was pretty high up. I just didn't find it believable And suspending belief didn't help Because it wasn't rational Or I should say thought out properly to make it seem believable. Again this is my opinion and you may think totally differently which is completely fine."

Weird dialog choices, poor dialogue in general, odd phrasing, repeated phrases, wrong word choices, lackluster world building, and flat characters. Some of the phrasing suggests AI assisted writing. “It just doesn’t sum up�, instead of “it just doesn’t add up �, for example. Either that’s a really poor translation or it’s AI written. Doesn’t add up is a very common phrase

This book started off so promising. Interesting premise, not written in first person, decent writing style� But after the first couple of chapters, you begin to see all the places that it falls short.

The premise is interesting and I started off fairly optimistic about the book, but the story doesn’t develop beyond this very basic premise. Yet despite its simplicity there are still lots and lots of issues constantly distracting the reader. I’ve made my reading notes visible to everyone.

It’s a thumbs down from me. ]]>
