Smash the System

By: System Lad

Narrated by: Jessica Threet, Christopher Boucher

Most will die. Some will survive. A small few will thrive.

The mysterious Overlords destroyed all electronics on Earth, imposed a game-like System, and unleashed ravenous horrors upon the planet.

Did you hear that Alex Dathers—yes, the Alex Dathers from Youtube with the channel about weapons and armor from the old days—killed a dragon? He actually killed a freakin’ dragon when he was only level 1. I heard it dropped him some epic loot and now he is going on a rampage through the System!

No, I don’t know all the details, but he’s coming to our Safe Zone to save us all from the monsters, so I’m sure he’ll tell us all about it. I cannot wait to hear this.

good book

this was a good fantasy story vary lit game let with the title I was hoping that mc give the system a headache but at least he didn't he was a vary full balance MC an beside getting new skill lvl didn't seem like much llike much use It seems like a basic fantasy story but overall good when I hear it's kind of like smash the system I look forward to seeing the MC getting some type of physical class that lets some smash things like literally level one taking out dragon but instead I got a well balance thawed out story I just hope the MC starts smashing the system

Bad pacing

Loved the performance
Hated the pace Everything seemed Bogged down
If you don't mind Stopping In combat to Smell the flowers you might like

sort of blah

not really bad.. not that good though.. mc gained like five levels over a few weeks involving the death blow of a dragon, establishing safe zones and completing quests.. the system sort of blows though.. only gives class skills.. all about gear which is limited for the most part. didn't care for some of the characters.. most were thought out and cool though.. mc does have a sweet weapon.. idk I think it's just me maybe I'm on a way too op mc kick right now so take all the above with a grain of salt.

Run of the mill apocalypse litrpg

This is a run of the mill litrpg, instantaneously applied apocalypse with little or no explanation as to why or whom, the world is only so-so. Lots of stats and classes

good stuff

Note: I don't give bad ratings just because I don't enjoy a book. When I rate/review, I try to be more objective. For example, just because I don't like a character doesn't mean the work to actually make that character is bad. Often, it's a sign that the opposite is true. I try to focus on the quality of the work rather than if I fit the target demographic. In this case, I knocked off a point for possible pacing issues and an area of the world mechanics I feel could be improved upon.

I mostly enjoy this person's work. This one gave me a bit of trouble when shouting at the character to shut up and do something. I'm not sure if this is a pacing issue or the author illustrating the MC's personality. Either way, it definitely got annoying at times, but overall, it was a good story.

The only thing I'd prefer is more a note on mechanics. It seems like the characters' stats are really only increased through gear. I personally prefer a story where characters themselves become superhuman. Also, they don’t go into anything addressing the effects of increased stats on their bodies and lives.
