Primer for the Apocalypse

Primer for the Apocalypse, Book 1

De: Braided Sky

Narrado por: Eliza Summers

Emie Mercer was one of several billion people who survived the apocalypse and was introduced to a new reality where magic was commonplace and everyone had access to a system. Unfortunately, the rest of Emie's family wasn't so lucky.

As far as world-changing events went, Earth's reintegration into the Atlantis Alliance was remarkably tame. The post-apocalyptic universe mirrored the wildly popular, deep-immersion VRMMORPG—Atlas Online, allowing those who played to quickly adapt to their new reality.

More than a decade later, Emie manages to create a formation that relies on her Time and Space affinities to return her consciousness to the past. When she arrives nearly four years earlier than expected, Emie realizes she has a unique opportunity to prepare and train for what is coming.

Join Emie as she explores the game Atlas Online in the way it was meant to be used—as a primer for the coming apocalypse.

good story

I like the promise of the book. I read it before when it was on Royal Road and then again when it came out on Kindle. the performance was very well done

Books 1 through 3 Review

Book 1 was good, though not amazing—it felt more like a slice-of-life story set a couple of years before Earth is integrated with magic. The MC, who jumps back in time, had the potential to be OP, but honestly, she was anything but. Book 2 wasn’t much better, though it picks up in the last half.

This series really took off for me once I picked up Book 3 on Kindle. It completely flipped the script and became an isekai dungeon crawler that spanned forty years. The first two books really felt like a slow build-up to the magnificence of Book 3.

I want to knock off several stars for Book 1, but I have to say, I now love this series. I can’t wait to dive into Book 4!
