Publisher's summary

Not everyone falls during an apocalypse. Some rise to the occasion.

For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be.

Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System.

Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest.

But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect.

Just ask Fool's cat.

Fool's Play is the first book in a new series in the System Apocalypse universe. Written by David R. Packer in Tao Wong's bestselling post-apocalyptic LitRPG universe, System Apocalypse: Kismet follows a different path through a post-apocalyptic world, one of hope, redemption, and second chances.

Very good. Surprising and interesting

Very good story. Deep and surprising. Much better than 'grit' and cleatly much better than the stupid 'australia' series . The narrator is reasonable, althoghe missing some character differentiation capabilities. Highily expectant fo the next book.

A new take on the existing world

Rather than starting with the system's coming, we're now 3 years into the system and Fool and Jackal are making the best of it. Working for a somewhat mysterious Foundation, they are fighting back to ensure humans have a place on Earth. Overall a great story and really enjoyed having a non-super-fighter as the MC. Yes, Jackal is a high level fighter, but Fool handles the planning and healing. Of course, a lot of his plans seem to amount to start.. then wing it.

I love the System Apocalypse books

I enjoyed the first series a lot but I really prefer hearing the stories while the characters are still in the lower levels. the lower level characters are much more fun to hear about since everything has not become so blown out of proportion. I truly enjoy listening to the characters learn how to use their skills and abilities to make it in this new world.

Mediocre Story missing lots of Details

The story was pretty mediocre. It starts off with expecting you to understand numerous things in the genre. This is not a first time reader to the genre type book.

The main characters were ok, but took time to get to know. This was jarring and frustrating to listen to.

The story line itself was ok but nothing great.
