Just to much wrong.
Mistakes: the editing was well done. I give one star for that.
Plot: Interesting idea that was worth a star, but doesn't live up to it's potential.
Your two MC's pick fighting and magic abilities while talking up the scavenger skill to others. If I can already kill zombies the first skill I take is scavenger so I can get loot from those that I beat. Then I'd get battle skills.
One MC drags his family from their home, that has been cleared and claimed, and already has a wall around the yard, to go to a school filled with teenagers??? That's a stupid move. The entire book is filled with things like this. Conversations between characters are just painful to read for the childish way it is done.
Characters: teenagers who just happen to be more driven than anyone else. Teachers that call students punks. At first you are introduced to a good handful of different characters, but one by one they are killed off in increasingly stupid ways. It's like the author just gets tired of writing about them, so he kills them off. The main MC's best friend died like that. You go through most of the book thinking he's a second MC, but when the military shows up he stinks off and starts drinking and doing drugs because he was secretly a power hungry nut job.
I found the actions and interactions of the military to be silly and unrealistic.
I honestly think this was written by a twelve year old. It needs to be rethought and redone with care given to the plot well as character interactions and conversations.
3.5/10

This book has a really great setup as far as LitRPGs go. The premise that space dust bootstraps everyone into a zombie survival game is great. It also really sets up the apocalyptic setting of super dense fog everywhere.
While the setup is great I didn't really get engaged in the book. I got all the way to the main character reaching lvl 5 before I lost interest enough to drop it. This is probably just me reading too many books in the genre to accept anything that doesn't immediately captivate me.
However plz plz plz go read his other series Towers of Heaven. That is one of my top 3 LitRPG series of all time.

wow, what a terrible book.
The setting and premise are fine, interesting even, but the writing is just awful. Most of the dialogue between characters is cringe inducing. Also, why are there so many characters who get introduced and then we never hear about again? One girl, who the main character was in love with, and who looked like she was going to be the love interest, just drops off the face of the earth. Did she die? Run? Ever learn to feel again? Who knows because after some early interactions with the main character you simply never hear about her again.
The entire book feels like it was written by a 13 year old boy describing a dream. there was no subtly, just overt expressions of emotions and cringe inducing writing. This author should learn how to "show" without "telling". You can't just have characters shouting out there emotions, no one does that. No one yells "I'm so angry" when they're angry, but it seems like everyone from the main to background characters just loudly proclaim there feelings, which are always one-dimensional with no nuances or complications.
The story also suffers from the author making everyone fatally stupid. I'm assuming this was done to make the main character stand out more. Apparently he was the only one smart enough to realize that if he wants to survive her needs to go out and kill a shit load of zombies. Why wasn't everyone doing this? Hell, when the main character realized the advantages of high endurance and training at night why didn't he tell everyone so they could copy him? The answer is because it wouldn't let the main character stand out as much if others were as strong as him, which is just lazy writing.
Actually, Lazy writing might be the perfect summary for this book.

Fun book. If you like rpg this is a fun story. If you like soloing or optimizing your character you will also love it. If you just in it for the zombie this may be a bit confusing lol. The Story was great a good way to add rpg element into the game without actually having a person stuck in game. It started off a little strange as the story started with 2 man characters and one just slowly fated away. It introduced side characters but didn't develop them , which is a shame because they had a lot of potential. Which pretty much describes this book. It had a lot of potential Great ideas, interesting character with great personalities but nothing connected the way it should have to build great stories.
Story concept would be 4 stars
Story development 3 stars ( this is being generous because despite the story wandering it was still alot of fun to Listen to )
Characters 2 stars ( would be higher if side character where developed )
So overall i went with 3 stars. And would read another one if it came. To be honest a little sad that it isn't. I think this author shows great potential . Hope he continues writing :)

Love Cameron’s work!
The LitRPG genreis growing by leaps and bounds. But this author takes a little more time to develop each character’s personality. Even secondary characters have flaws and personalities that lead to their eventual growth. Cameron tries very hard to create friendships, family dynamics, and well rounded characters. His grasp of the new magic systems he creates are very professional, intriguing, and leaves the reader wanting to stay up too late at night to finish the book.!

It's fun and entertaining.
Also, it's true litrpg...progression IS the story...
it's not pasted unto a fantasy story that doesn't need to have stat sheets.
so...detailed ratings;
prose, dialogue = 3 stars
story, enjoyment= 5 stars
editing, errors = dunno stars (listened to audiobook)
total 4 stars.
I have read many 5 stars masterpieces that were boring.
I prefer unpolished but fun stories.

the big dud how dies at the start is the most idiotic death ever written, the most cliché B movie situation the kind how doesn't sadden you' but piss you off! out of stamina so he just laid there and got eaten.. the overall book is passable a good adventure, too many stuff is glossed over at the end and doesn't gets a conclusion.. is more like a "to be continued." maybe? wth happens with the vamp chick? so' not really bad per se

Wow!
I've read his previous works and was not really expecting too much from this one since it was just a single book. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised and this book was phenomenal. Definitely a shorter read and written as if it was meant to be just one book with the possibility of more. It'll be interesting if a sequel comes out or if we see came in a different book. Can't wait for Milan to release something else.

Overall a good book, but not a great one. The 3 is an honest appraisal of quality/enjoyment I derived from it and isn't a slag. Writing was decent as was editing/proofreading, evidently both issues with an earlier edition.
Overall it just lacked that je ne sais quoi that turns a good story into a great one, but I can still recommend it if you like zombie RPG books, as it's better than a lot of them I've read.

I like the start
4 stars, not 5 just because a few good side stories were written out/over/bypassed for no reason i could tell. Spoilers review marked helpful will list them out and I agree. 4 stars and not 3 because the start of the zombie apocalypse uses a simple fact, and thus unique, while staying a fairly believable premise.

Good read
This book did a wonderful job of being fun to read. The premise was well written out, the story flowed nicely, and the characters progression made sense. Now were there some cringy YA moments? Absolutely but it did not detract from the story as a whole. Overall great read.

Audio-book: Audio quality: Good, Narration: Good
The first quarter of this book was quite entertaining but than it became extremely repetitive, predictable and boring, the worst part, however, was the ending which was suitable for preschoolers.

Decent, but needs polish
The story itself was enjoyable, with only a small handful of errors to jar me out of it. However, the writing was a bit weak, probably from a new author's first publish.

Decent read
It was a good little read. I would like to see more in this universe if there is going to be anymore that is. One of the cons is that the writing felt a bit childish at times, like the author needs a bit longer to mature their writing skills.

Disappointing
Nothing in the system makes sense. Main character acts like every generic stereotypical zombie character In any zombie media But with no character growth or anything. And there's many just childish stupid shit
